I posted this meme build idea in the main subreddit https://old.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/wnrjod/league_start_this_to_maintain_the_assassin/ while planning my first build. It wasn't very well received there, but I went with it and was able to gather the main uniques relatively easy, here's the final POB and my thoughts on this variant: https://pastebin.com/fkUzADp7

What are the main interactions here?

  1. Ralakesh's Impatience allows us to get full charges when standing.
  2. The Inner Conviction keystone has no downsides, since it treats Min Frenzys outside of the ''gain'' charges spectrum.
  3. Malachai's Loop has no downsides with the current setup, allowing access to two Power Charges in the offhand slot while enabling more defences that a dual Void Battery setup.

Why Assassin?

While Elementalist seems like the easy win for LC is most setups, Assassin was chosen for:

  1. +1 Max Power Charge from the Ascendancy without the need to steal it with Forbidden jewels.
  2. Elusive. The Ralakesh's Impantience occupies the boot slot, so getting consistent elusive activation would be difficult with other ascendancies. Not using elusive to it's fullest feels awful with Badge of the Brotherhood.

QoL

This build is only a 2 button setup against bosses, Storm brand with Inpulsa is fully capable of clearing all mapping content in cruise control. LC is only neccesary vs. tanky AN mobs, some map bosses and Pinnacle encounters.

Defences

Okay, hear me out, this made not look like it, but it's way tankier than your average Void Batttery-Badge build:

5.3K Life with PB 1.5K ES with EB+MoM and Ghost Shrouds 74% Evasion lv20 Vitality, LGOH, ES Leech 23% Block, 31% Spell Block 21% Phys taken as elemental 160% Eluive effect on first activation

DPS

While standing still (which is everytime you cast LC), the build has a combined DPS of 27m. This can be further increased by switching to Doryani's Prototype and armour instead of evasion.

Open to suggestions or feeback. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see some footage.
