[3.10] The Queen of Blades - Gryph's Blade Blast Witch
" How do you avoid canceling the Poet's Pen cast? That was happening to me ALL the time. I hated it. I like to run -> click -> run -> repeat and if I clicked too fast it just wouldn't do anything. Super obnoxious to me. |
|
" I don't. I barely notice it. I didn't even used Poet's Pen until lvl 75. This is just extra source of blades.. Most of bosses/metamorphs dyes on 3-4 frenzy+barrage attacks. White/yellow trash packs explodes on 1 click. I expect that it will be not so smothh on T14+ maps, but my items very far from perfect. Your VD build is still much better, cuz it has autotargeting, more survivability and probably more dmg in late game, but I can't play with the same build 3rd league in a row:) This at least have high burst dmg potential to oneshot metamorphs :) |

" I was thinking about it afterward actually and yeah you have Bladefall on Spellslinger as well. That alone would make mapping a lot smoother I'd say. I think with Assassin I'd want to go CoC in the end. Either with a bow and Asenath's Chant for blade skills or Cyclone and alternate Bladefall and Bladeblast |
|
COC was original plan. Maybe with better gear i will rid of PP or second spelllslinger and try barrage+coc+bladefall+spellcascade for blade generation.
But for now what other options do I have if I don't want elemental conversion? |
|
" As an assassin? I wouldn't worry about ele conversion really. You can stack things like Phys as Extra Cold/Lightning/Fire/Chaos. Hatred is great, Unholy Might via Sin's Rebirth or the new noteable that gives 10% chance to gain it on crit, Herald of Ash, etc... Increased AOE is amazing on Blade Blast for stacking explosions for single target too. You can try getting a Shaper Helmet and tossing some Insanity Essences (50% of phys as extra lightning) at it to get Hypothermia support for a pseudo 6L with less mana reservation too (spellslinger). Can also get Inc AOE Support and up to +3% Spell Crit on the helmet as well. If you wanted to convert fully, Inquisitor or Chieftain would probably be the way to go honestly. Also, a 3L Bladefall - Unleash - Spell Cascade could be really potent for single target burst damage. 4L with Arcane Surge potentially. |

" Did some stuff from this advice. DMG totally fine. Bosses on t14 red maps dyes in seconds. But I am dying so often as well (mainly in delirium fog). I guess Assasin = Glass Cannon. Would be grateful for any advices how to improve survivability :) Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/VPzKqC4e |
