havoc616's Notes

Sometimes you gotta meme and at first glance, Cobra Lash & Viper Strike on Assassin are significantly slower than our stronger well practiced skills. However, 3 months ago I was getting the same ~1h40m Act 5 100% times on all my runs; there might be potential here given some practice and theorycraft.

One of the main challenges to solve is the AoE Clear: I could never really figure out the appropriate gems links for Cobra Lash; often swapping between volley & onslaught (due to no GGG links early on). However, in single target scenarios with multiple enemies, Cobra Lash (with volley), seemed to outshine Viper strike which was great to see.

Viper Strike single target was generally very strong the whole run, the challenge is applying the damage due to no nearby strike range on the tree. I imagine an endgame Viper Striker with a ton of strike range could be quite fun.

Expect some caster runs next: Lightning Shadow Variants & Fire Trap Shadow.
