Ele Hit is giga underrated and you should start it! | 3.28 Melee Ele Hit Assassin League Start Guide

I started melee Elemental Hit Assassin in 3.27 and it was easily my best league starter ever. The build only got better this patch with buffs to the Oshabi bloodline, and even though the OP Breachlord tech got pre-nerfed, I still truly believe the Ele Hit is one of the most underrated skills in the game right now. It's unimpressive as a basic strike skill but the damage numbers are incredible.

Also, layering Evasion + Block + Spell Block + Spell Dodge + Elusive all together is a suprisingly good set of defensive layers and even if you don't play this build, I suggest you give it a shot sometime!

Note that neither POB below includes buffs from mark effect coming to the Oshabi bloodline which likely increases DPS by 10-15%.

Final POB from 3.27 (20m DPS max burst): https://pobb.in/Xg-W0PE5PFW8

More budget potential progression build (10m DPS max burst w/ Adrenaline up from Tanu Ahi): https://pobb.in/UUTaWS9Sgapy

Budget version differences:

• Tanu Ahi instead of Admiral's Arrogance
• Good rare Amulet instead of Replica Dragonfang
• The Arkhon's Tools instead of Secrets of Suffering
• Min roll The Taming w/ no quality
• Passive tree changes for more rage on melee hit
• Claw does not have veiled Ele pen mod (saves 2+ divines on multimod)
