Despirage's Notes
This will be probably my last showcase of this build.
build itself has been extremly fun to play with altough pretty expensive so I spent a lot of time trying to min-max it.
Below few things if you would like to follow my footsteps
Pob? https://pastebin.com/WpgbFHSW
Why flicker CoC? Sounds like fun and obviously its something different than cyclone so.....
Why assassin? We want to be capped on crit to proc all the time.
How you sustain frenzy? Mostly farrul and flicker mechanic. As farrul doesn't overlap frenzy duration you need to first make sure you have 8 charges before attacking anything.
Can it take down all end game content? T16 maps (alchem+go) - yes without problem Sirius - Yes actualy its pretty easy with enough dps whn you know the fight Elder - with enough dps elder obviously easy Shaper - this fight might be a bit tricky, but if you will evade kamehameha it should be good Uber Elder - Havent tried, but I dont think so (gonna edit if I change my mind) Simulacrum - I am pretty sure you will not be able to complete Wave above 20 with this. Maven - xDDDD, Maven is our ultimate nemesis.... as we fully rely on life leech maven degen ball will kill as every time during other boss fights and invitations. About Maven fight itself anti heal brain laser is game over for this build.
Budget? Early (4-6ex) - Core items is Farrul cospris replica of conqueror's efficiency and badge of brotherhood. So you can start build as soon as you have them all. It will work with maps but kinda will struggle with bosses. Mid (20ex) - Basically what you will need to do first is hit 52%cdr breakpoint. This will not be possible without Awakened cast on crit support gem which is pretty expensive. At this stage you should be able to take down sirius and elder and clear basically everything not to crazy. Endgame (50ex+) - Getting watchers eye and clusters and additional projectlies on cospri and gem level farrul will actualy take your DPS to very satysfing state.
Dude ... you have like 3k hp and I dont see any defensive layers. How you survive in maps? Actualy there are a lot of defensive layers here. We are stacking spell supression which is also giving this build more crit chance. We have reasonable amount of evasion so it is not realy easy to hit us (espetialy that we are blinding enemies on crit). We are cold build with 100% chance to freeze and very good chill from vortex. We are assassin we we take no extra damage from crit strikes. And some small chance to block is also included since we are dual weilding (according to pob)
I think I mentioned all that any would like to know about it. Let me know in comments in case of questions.
