Hello good sir, first I want to thank you very much for this amazing build I've reached level 97 (my highest so far) and had a lot of fun playing it, Anyhow, Since the new league started (patch 3.12) I've been experiencing something very weird and it's driving me insane, I tried a couple of maps and I keep randomly getting 1 shotted with no clear reason why, sometimes after all the mobs die I'm randomly dead, sometimes I get 1 shotted by white packs (Which shouldn't be possible, I have you know I'm used to run juiced up tier 16 maps with no problems at all) does anyone know what's causing this issue?

Very happy with this build so far. Just hit 15 watchstones and level 89. Some thoughts while leveling:

Absolutely go around through Constitution, through Shaper, and get Potency of Will. This along with Exceptional performance is amazing early - no mana issues and basically never have to click a button. Skip damage nodes for this until you dont feel crunchy.

Also if you're struggling with health: 4L pseudo 5L embalmer, and just get the best defensive chest you can find (life, resists, dodge, etc). Embalmer also has chaos res.

HIGHLY recommend dual wield Bino's. More Chaos res and the regen is huge for mapping. I'm at 35 chaos res with Binos and Embalmer.

Also recommend getting curse on hit on a ring or gloves if possible. Again - if you feel crunchy, go temp chains over despair.

High level Chaos Golem for phys damage reduction, early annoint of Diamond Skin or Freedom of Movement for good budget / defenses.

Character viewable in profile.

How's it feeling in heists? I'd expect anything that does well in delve ought to be fine there too with the assassin crit resistance and picking up dodge nodes.

I'm currently rerolling primarily due to realizing this league is not super duper glass cannon viable which was my first choice. Probably ED/C is smarter for tank, but I've been eyeballing BV simply to try something new and maybe respec to another assassin build in a month or so.

I really like the build this season but I'm struggling with survivability and mana. Any suggestions on items or what to socket for a smoother experience? Also, I see that many people either use Poison Support or either Vile Toxix, are they on the same level?

Just to be clear - you're level 81, managed to get a Mistwall, a 6l chest with 100 life, using flesh and stone, AND you're dying? To what?

Try Bino's as a describe earlier. You get the pseudo explosion like with obliteration, but you get a great regen during mapping plus chaos res.

More importantly - are you not using withering step? It looks like it should be the third link in your shield. Trust me its huge. You either need withering step to run through mobs while BV'ing, or shield charge to do the same. One or the other. That would help a lot.

Because I suck and did 3 maps without my Amulet just getting randomly one-shoted and didn't even notice it's still in the Crafting Bench. Typical newb filter I guess. Not an Issue anymore and yes withering step is the missing link. Thanks :)
