Path of Chigurh's Notes

In this video, I showcase my updated Scion Ascendant Exsanguinate build that keeps getting better and better both due to patch changes, but also me continuing to min-max it patch after patch.

For reference, back in 3.18 this build had 1/3 the damage and 1/3 the tankiness, thus my math says the build has gotten 900%+ better in the past 5 patches.

In 3.23, GGG changes the quality of Exsanguinate to increase base duration of the skill. This change is actually sleeper OP because Exsanguinate now lasts over 100% longer leaving us free to cast other skills. In my setup, Exsanguinate lasts an insane 10 seconds thanks to Ashes and Temporal Chains.

While GGG did take away the Alt Quality gem I was using for higher clear speed, the base Exsanguinate along with Chain and Unleash is still able to hit 44 targets per cast. Also, I tested the new Exsanguinate of Transmission and I don't think it is good.

Previously, since Exsanguinate had a short duration, we were forced to get our remaining damage from Corrupting Fever since it was just passive damage. Now, we can keep up Reap on tanky targets or bosses, which doubles our damage rather than just a nice bonus with Corrupting Fever.

Along with the 3.23 changes, I continued to min-max the build and the passive tree is now more tanky and DPS efficient than last time, making the build pretty much unkillable while mapping with the following stats:

*80/75% Block with 2% Life Recovery *90% Chance to Evade *50% Quality Petrified Blood with Progenesis *50k+ Armour with Molten Shell *500+ Net Life Regen *Blood Notch & Immutable Force Recoup *Immune to Ailments *Immune to Corrupted Blood
