A quick showcase of how fast it kills bosses - T14 Dark Woods

the actual kill took about 3 seconds. other bosses are much quicker. even t15bosses dont get many chances to attack

PasteBin - only have dmg rolls on the gear but my currenct skilltree is here:
https://pastebin.com/k3T3JpLs

The reason i have gone with the Assasin is the high Crit chance/modifier bonus as well as the free Culling Strike on crits

The builds dps is hard to pinpoint, but at the moment i can do about 2.000.000 dps at maximum output.
and as the volatile dead fireballs stay for 4 seconds before they explode you can stack up about 8.000.000 burst dmg. this will however decrease depending on who you are fighting as you deal less damage to bosses.

General about the workings of the curses
This assasin focuses on dmg and clearspeed, and running multiple curses allows it to drop a lot of defence.

curses for defence:
Temporal Chains
Enfeeble

the reason for these curses is the great synergy between them and you teleporting around.
having the enemy slowed will allow you to dodge attacks much easier and enfeeble is for the rare occation you are hit, so that you wont be killed in a single attack.

Curses for offence:
Flammability
Elemental Weakness

now these two curses are simply chosen because they increase your dmg the most. you can pretty much choose whatever for these. however i would reccomend using one of the curses to get rid of whatever resistance the enemy might have.

Gear overwiev
Poets pen is chosen as it automaticly cast whatever spell is socketed when you attack



For the chest is chosen Cospri's Will as it allows you and additional curse as well as cursing Hexproof enemies


i have LightPoecher for the helmet as this build is based around avoiding taking dmg and therefore doesn't have any leech or regen. Lightpoecher lets you recover 5% life each time a spirit charge is consumed or exspires. with the high dmg and clearspeed, this will recover your life rather quickly


The rest of the gear is fairly optional, i will however say that while the 4th curse isn't mandatory, the additional curse of an amulet corruption is a great bonus.
this is the gear i'm currently using


Gem setup

Poet's Pens

Volatile Dead - Concentraded Effect - Elemental Focus

Bodyswap - Unearth - Greater Multiple Projectiles

for those who aren't much for the Bodyswap skill, i personally think the best alternative is Cremation as it consumes the last corpse from your unearth and heals heavy singletarget dmg when places beneath the target.

Alternative:
Unearth - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Cremation


Cospri's Will

Barrage - Faster Attacks - Curse on hit - Enfeeble - Elemental Weakness - Flammability

The rest of the gear

Anger - Enlighten - Blashpemy - Temporal Chains

Vaal Haste - Increased Duration

Summon Flame Golem - Minion Elemental Resistance

the reason of going with Barrage is that it fires a lot of projectiles with a somewhat spread.
you can go with kinetic blast as well, but a 5 off-colour on cospri's malice is a lot hearder to get and the outcome wouldn't change much and you only really need the dmg to kill bosses before they get the chance to attack you

This is a build in progress, so any idea's or comments are more than welcome ^^

What's your APS? And how do get attack speed?

Is this character really squishy, since you try to avoid damage? How often do you die?

What do you think about Indigon helmet? Overkill on damage?

i'm at 4.24 aps. you will mainly get attackspeed from a constant uptime on vaal haste, frenzy chages and the somewhat attackspeed of the wands.

as to squishyness. the synergy between the curses, semi high dodge/evade chance and teleportation makes it so that you rarely get it.
personally i haven't died in the last 3 lvls (88-89-90).
however, heavy hits like those from minotuar are best to avoid as they will kill you if they connect ^^
guess it should be said that bleed and poison are your worst enemies with this kind of build, but the immunity to poison pantheon node and a bleed imunnity flask covers that easily

the indigon helmet could definetly work with some rework of the mechanics, but the build simply doesn't use that much mana. you usually use an average of 50mana/sec while you have mana at all.
most of the time tho, you're gonna run on low mana and only really use barrage once or twice a sec, so the procs problebly wouldn't even come up.

its also a little exspensive, just to get a possible increase in dmg ^^
i like the idea tho ^^ deffinetly food for thought

The cold resistance: 5%
Lightning resistance: 5%

i see this can be a little confusing ^^
In the pastebin i have only added the offensive stats and some fire resistance to use the effect of Wise Oaks. You will ofcause sneed to have maxed your resistances (with a little more fire than anything else) and as much life as well.
i understood you fine :)

if you can still max your resistances, then yes! Atziri's Acuity would be a fantastic choice!
