I tested the assassin Badge of the Brotherhood Doryani int Flicker featured a week ago, mark me impressed (vs 235% quant Formed)

This video showcases the assassin int flicker variant that was shown on Reddit recently. It has some issues, but is a solid alternative for the high budget int flicker. The damage also has to ramp up cause he first has to attack to generate power charges. Build thrives in simu and is mainly a simulacrum farmer, but it can do bosses like sirus or invitations like elderslayers/formed/hidden/etc. Still needs testing in shaper, but will probs suffer from doryani issues. When this build gets going though it is superior to the Raider Non-crit variant because: - Nightblade gives this build up to 900% crit multi at 90+% critchance on higher investment (currently here ~800%) - very high sorces of %increased damage - This build is crit immune during elusive, so basically always (need corrupted doryani+aegis on raider to achieve the same thing) - it has more frenzy charges (11) cause of badge of the brotherhood converting Power to Frenzy charges - It has access to Lethe Shade without wasting a ton of points ---- this doubles your hitpool vs degen - Elusive negates a lot of hits that enable dangerous situations or outright oneshot you - inbuilt culling strike Challenges to overcome from not running Raider: - Significantly socket starved: Needs to run Enhance 4 + Poachers mark 1/23 (+ mark on hit) to generate frenzy charges on single target ; Withering Step to refresh Elusive = totem setup vs rage setup (in simu take rage setup always) - aegis+poets pen with (Tornado+Frenzy+Barrage) to pre-generate Frenzy Charges. (raider has the same issue to a lesser degree, assassin has 32% chance to generate frenzy on single, raider 40%) - Awakened Multistrike is MANDATORY - Higher Gear cost (28ex for forbidden flame/flesh, 10ex+ for power charge rings, sentinel making them giga cheap for now) - No Resists/str from Amulet = needs double corrupted mod + makes rescap extra hard _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ COST BREAKDOWN: TOTAL: 222ex + 377c (at 180c/Exalt = 2.1ex) === 227.1ex ASKING PRICE: 200ex GEAR: Doryanis Prototype 6l: 6ex Elevated %Int + Power charge Hubris: 12ex Power Charge Ring (Fate Nail): 25ex (Resists + t1 int +1power ring, sadly on amethyst base) Power Charge Ring (Gale Grip): 25ex (shitload of resists on a +1 t1 int ring with flat light dmg) Shapers touch Attack Crit chance: 1ex Badge of the Brotherhood (Grace aura eff + %int %str): 10ex Int Stacking Boots: 30ex Belt: 8ex Aegis Aurora 2x: 1ex per shield (2ex total) Poets Pen: 8c Int stack Claw: 4ex JEWELS: Fertile Mind: 4c Melding of the Flesh: 4ex Thread of Hope large high -res: 70c 2x (140c) Large Cluster 1 (top left): 1ex Large Cluster 2 (top right): 1ex Large Cluster 3: (bottom left): 100c Small cluster (pure int 35%eff): 6ex Small cluster (25% effect self control + 5 attributes): 1.5ex Watchers Eye(precision atkspeed + mana as es clarity): 8ex Forbidden Flesh (Swift Killer): 16ex Forbidden Flame (Swift Killer): 18ex GEMS: Flicker Strike: 30c - Awa Multistrike: 16ex - Fortify 21 20: 33c - Power charge on Crit: 33c - Divergent Melee Splash: 3.1ex - Nightblade 20 20: 15c - Awa WED 5/20 (gemswap): 4ex Aura (helmet): - Enlighten 4: 17ex - Determination 20: 5c - Grace 20: 5c - Discipline 21: 50c Aura (gloves): - Purity of Ice 20: 7c - Tempest shield 20: 33c - Clarity 1: 0c - Berserk 21 20: 50c Aegis 1 (mainhand): - Rage 20: - Vengeance 20: - Reckoning 20: Claw (curse): - Awakened Enhance: 2ex - Poachers Mark 1/23: 5c - Mark on Hit 20/20: 30c Boots: - CWDT 20: 20c - Vaal Molten Shell 20 20: 1ex - Precision 1: 0c - Withering Step 21 20: 20c Poets pen Weapon Swap for Frenzy gen: - Free (Frenzy + tornado + barrage): 0c
