Hi Exiles,

I've been playing with a Blade Flurry dual dagger Assassin for years.
So when Vaal Blade Flurry (VBF) was announced, I was of course excited to test it. This is the first thing I've done for the launch of 3.20 and I've made this video about it.
> All in all, VBF helps a lot for clear but is useless for single target.
Also, I've tinkered with the stuff and map mods to see how I can extend the duration of the channelling, during which nearby enemies are blinded (with 68% increased effect) and, most importantly, you take 50% less damage !
So far, my best try is 5 seconds of full channelling. But this is done with janky stuff. Still, I think VBF could be useful to tank the Shaper's slam or Sirus' Die Beam, with a weapon swap at the right moment. And I'm sure you can get an even longer channelling, just for fun (character with no attack speed etc.)

Build on the official forum : The Nightblade. (Almost 4 years and still channelling !)
Current PoB in Standard.
