Dsfarblarwaggle's Notes

Been planning this short series of videos ever since we started getting new ascendancy information, starting off pretty strong with the shadow classes! Please let me know if you see anything you think could be improved on for this format, as I will be putting together a video for each class before the new league launches this friday :^)

PoB links UPDATED with new ascendancy trees active! Path of Building links for each of the builds showcased here: Trickster Essence Drain - https://pastebin.com/NPgDxA2V Saboteur Lightning Trap - https://pastebin.com/gWc7Pew9 (Damage taken mod from unique spider armor copy no longer working, turned on full effect shock to make up the difference.) Assassin Ice Nova - https://pastebin.com/3nW2Wvsw (Overall DPS down slightly, PoB tooltip doesn't recognize the 100% damage mod for bosses on Opportunistic node)

Also I stream at https://www.twitch.tv/waggle if you're into that kind of thing :^)
