Blacklistedhxc's Notes

I know a lot of people have been asking about Lightning Strike builds and everyone talks about Raider or Berserker, but the poison Assassin variant is also super strong and tanky.

Current PoB with about 15ex invested is https://pastebin.com/asPsFtZf

On PoB I ticked focused as that is a big portion of our damage increasing our attack speed and also how long the poisons last, and seeing as we attack so quickly it really helps. In the showcase I tried to keep it up as much as possible. Unticked its about 5mil DPS still.

Tankiness is not an issue, during mapping with my flasks up I have 24k evasion and 18k armour, I've been standing in juiced expeditions & other content with no issue. My current issue is the build has no passive regen, also latency but I don't think that is because of the build.

For wither stacks at 10, my withering step applies 9 withered at minimum, and the totems have high attack speed so on single target fights you can reach the 15 withered stacks.

The reason for lightning strike ticked as 2 counts is due to our gloves, if we stand at the correct distance we hit the enemies twice and that is not counting the beams that hit and also inflict poison. I'm not sure how to correctly calculate LS poison DPS but following RueToo's guide that is how I see it is configured.

Overall, super fun build. I started as my second character with about 8ex investment and was thinking about trying a different variant of LS because I started to love the skill, however I decided to invest more and came to realize how powerful this variant of LS can become.

Edit: for some looking for mapping playstyle, I have a Mino map clear here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tySl6jErq6U as you can see proximity shields are not our friends.
