[3.2] BLADE FLURRY PHYS DMG 750K 1.3M DPS TANKY SLAYER/RAIDER 6K HP REKT ALL CONTENT IN GAME EZ

Would Assassin ascendancy be equal to or even better than Raider ascendancy?
You lose mov speed - but you actually whirl around, so no problem.
You lose 4% chance to dodge - not really something important.
You lose chance to get frenzy charges - but you use Blood rage anyway to get those.
You lose Onslaught on max frenzy charges.

Now with Assassin acendancy you get:
more base crit chance,
more crit multi vs. enemies with full life,
chance to gain power charges,
Maim on crit.

Now the question is which is better, Onslaught or more reliable critting with free Maim.
With Ruthless out of the picture for BF and if we remove Maim, we can place Increased critical damage and Faster attacks into the 6-link.
2G - 2R - 2B - a combination easier to get on body armours other than Atziri's splendour.

If anyone is willing to calculate the damage difference I would be more than thankful.

Maim gained by the assassin is only a debuff that reduce target move speed.
The maima gem itself is still the better dps.
BF-Maim-Brutality-Conc-MeleePhys-Bleed is the best setup it seems.

The assassin idea tho is pretty good.
It's a dps gain on paper but the frenzy generation and onslaught on boss seems a bit too good to pass.

You figure Chance to Bleed will give more DPS than Increased Crit Damage?

I guess you're right, Raider is a better ascendancy for boss fights.



Do you think there is a better DPS combination for Ancestral Warchief than MPD - FA - Brutality?
Perhaps Multistrike instead of FA?

I just used the POB and tried haha
There's like 5% difference between Chance to bleed and Inc Crit.


For pure dps the best AW combo should be AW - Brutality - ConC - MPD

Has anyone tested if Vaal Pact makes sense for this build?
We'd lose 2.6% of life regeneration, and with bloodseeker we already have off-hand "legacy" Vaal Pact, so the question is, is there a point in taking Vaal Pact node and using two top-end claws?

Also what bandit should I choose? I need Kraityn for the achievement, but does his speed boosts and extra dodge work for this build?

Allira is must have. Resists, damage and mana regen to have always WB ready to use.

Ok, I can go with her after getting the achievement for Kraityn, than switch to her with recipe.

What is a good button setup for the skills and how is this build generally played? I am more used to builds with less skills.

Just need use BF and whirling blades mainly, a bit of practice and u will master it.

Ruthless support no longer works with channelling skills, what do you think would be the best replacement?
Faster attacks? Inc crit dmg?

Increased critical strikes, just checked POB.

I am going to start this build tomorrow.

I have three big questions.

1) What is a good general strategy or gameplay flow for clearing maps, and what are good tips for this build for defeating bosses?

2) Will a 5L blade flurry work well for the endgame? I still have trouble understanding getting high damage levels in this game as my first build could not even map and my second got stopped at the guardians. Should I emphasize raw damage, attack speed, or critical chance?

3) What order did you level the major parts of the tree?

1)Best tip is dont stop moving, too much time in dangerous moments it will make u vulnerable. u have to learn mechanics and what hits u must dodge on bosses.

2)I think with a 5l and Abyssus u can kill shaper. Around 400 dps and u should be able to kill him.

3)There are several trees posted in the first pages. I'll move them to main page.

I've been doing a more damage oriented version of this build and its been working great. I'm only in T7 maps but feel like I can steam roll through T12s with my minimal investment. I currently have wasp's nest, bloodseeker, and starkonja's head with no offensive mods on my jewelry. I opted to get more leech on the tree and also got the new VP as I thought that would synergize well with the slayer ascendancy but was curious on your thoughts on this new VP. I haven't had too much time to test it but have liked what I've seen so far.

VP may work fine sure, but i prefer dont take it, there are times when u cant hit nothing and life regen is very usefull. Just remember this is my guide but u choose your build, we all can have diferent ideas but it doesn't mean they are better or worse. Just depend on situation.

The difference between raider and assasin on dps is very low, raider is more usefull cause got interesting defensive stats. This way we can get power charges and frenzy charges on bosses. The best gem is increased critical chance, just checked POB.
