Path of Exile [3.29] Arc of Oscillating Chain Life Stacking Assassin Is Very Underrated

https://www.twitch.tv/incommodious if you have any other questions regarding the build/info/upgrades ------------Wand Craft------------ Disclaimer: You're probably better off just finding one with high spell damage, cast speed, crit multi or double damage and then just craft trigger. HAVING SAID THAT: My wand: Step 1.) Fracture the delve prefix (15-30)% increased Chaos Damage Adds (14-19) to (29-33) Chaos Damage to Spells (boat or no boat) Step 2.) Spam Deafening Essences of Woe looking for a hybrid spell damage/mana prefix you're satisfied with Step 3.) Assuming open suffix, otherwise you'll have to annul, from there you craft prefixes cannot be changed and use harvest bench to reforge caster, looking for a cast speed you're satisfied with. Step 4.) You have to make a choice here when cast speed is your only suffix, if you want to do veiled exalted orb or slam for crit multi or spell critical chance. Step 5.) (slamming with exalted orbs) If you're slamming, you block mana regeneration rate and slam with the boat until you get a good crit multi or spell critical chance. Step 5.) (veiled exalted orb) If not slamming, you craft can have up to 3 crafted modifiers and prefixes cannot be changed then use veiled exalted orb AT THE BOAT to have better odds of not hitting the cast speed Step 6.) (veiled exalted orb) assuming you removed multimod or prefixes cannot be changed, you then want to remove crafted modifiers, and craft any x damage over time multiplier (i.e. cold) then unveil, hoping for either double damage or crit multi while a rare or unique is nearby. Step 7.) Craft trigger a socketed spell. ------------Helmet Craft------------ Step 1.) Either buy fractured increased energy shield % or life on lich circlet to start on the base, or make it yourself, if you're going to try yourself, make the decision if you want to buy a higher lich circlet base Step 2.) Spam Deafening Essences of Woe until you hit the other prefix option you didn't buy (i.e. t1 life if you bought a t1 increased % energy shield fracture) Step 3.) Craft prefixes cannot be changed, and reforge defence at the harvest bench until you're happy with the tier, or it has other good mods. Step 4.) Fill out, or remove by using eldritch currency to annul suffixes if you need by having Eater of Worlds be dominant mod on the item (highest tier). Remember to block intelligence before you slam! Step 5.) Your end goal is to have a good resist with a good Increased Energy Shield Recharge Rate modifier. Step 6.) Craft Strength and Dexterity. ------------Glove Craft------------ Step 1.) Either buy fractured increased energy shield % or life on warlock gloves base, same as the helmet, if you want to fracture it yourself, consider buying a higher quality base before doing so. Step 2.) Spam Deafening Essences of Woe until you hit the other prefix that you don't have fractured (i.e. t1 life if you have fractured increased energy shield %) Step 3.) This one realistically you want to follow the same process as the helmet, and my gloves are inferior in that regard. Step 4.) Craft Prefixes cannot be changed, reforge defence at the harvest bench until you get a good tier of increased energy shield recharge rate % Step 5.) Look for a good resist as the second mod, it can be chaos resist or an elemental resist, as these are all interchangeable between boots, helmet and gloves and very flexible. Step 6.) Craft (20-22)% increased Global Critical Strike Chance Adds (22-25) to (28-32) Chaos Damage if you've dealt a Critical Strike Recently ------------Boots Craft------------ Step 1.) Buy warlock boots with an abyss socket fracture, or make it yourself, same thing if making it yourself, consider a higher quality base, can also use a two socket resonator here socketed with Hollow Fossil and Fractured Fossil, then take the resonator and boots to the boat to give yourself 3 tries each time. Step 2.) Spam Essences of Delirium until you get either a high elemental resist or chaos resist to fill out your character. Step 3.) Block mana and slam until you're happy with the tier of maximum life roll (use eldritch chaos and annulment orbs here until life is the only mod) Step 4.) Craft suffixes cannot be changed Step 5.) Use a veiled exalted orb at the boat and pray it removes the suffixes cannot be changed, if you're unlucky and fail (it removes the life) ---------> Remove crafted modifiers to get rid of the suffixes cannot be changed, craft regen life per second and 55-60 maximum mana, unveil mod for movement speed, change crafted modifier to mana and slam for cope to hit life, if you don't, go back to eldirtch crafting for life roll and repeat Step 6.) Craft any blocker mod here (i.e. regen life per second and 55-60 maximum mana) and unveil for movement speed. Step 7.) Craft increased energy shield % ------------Ring Craft------------ Step 1.) Buy or make a helical ring with either fracture of -> Global Critical Strike Multiplier (Deafening Essence of Scorn) or with T1 cast speed (Deafening Essence of Zeal) Step 2.) Use the opposite essence of the mod you bought fractured, if you bought crit multi, use zeal essences, you're looking for at least T2 all elemental resistances, cast speed and global critical strike multiplier as your 3 suffixes. Step 3.) Craft can have up to 3 modifiers and suffixes cannot be changed then reforge life at the harvest bench or use a veiled chaos orb, the reason we add the multimod craft is to make sure we keep an empty suffix to craft a hybrid ele and chaos res. Step 4.) Repeat the process until you're satisfied with the life tier, or you unveil the life mod. Step 5.) Craft the hybrid resist ------------Amulet Craft------------ Step 1.) Take out a mortgage to buy a simplex amulet base (ideally with no influence or intangibility) Step 2.) Spam Deafening Essences of Scorn until you hit T1 cast speed as the other suffix Step 3.) If you have a prefix mod, pray to annul it, if no prefix mod, craft suffixes cannot be changed Step 4.) Reforge life and pray Mark Roberts from Grinding Gear Games blesses you with a good tier life roll Step 5.) Rinse and repeat until you question why you bought a simplex. As with all items on this list, but specifically the experimented bases (helical ring and simplex amulet) you can start with any other bases i.e. flat life rings or vermillion rings, and any amulets, just don't tie up your stats to either if them if you plan to upgrade. Most important things remain the same, being high life, cast speed and crit multi. These are all the high end versions of these items apart from reflecting, so if you're just starting you don't need to minmax all of this stuff, just focus on the basics of all the items and you'll be fine. Going to add notes here for important mods to start off with that you can find cheap pre min-maxing Wand -> Spell Damage > Cast speed > Critical strike multiplier or double damage (trigger craft suffix is mandatory) Helmet -> High life > High energy shield > increased energy shield recharge rate % > (resists) Gloves -> High life > High energy shield > increased energy shield recharge rate % > (resists) Boots -> Unfortunately you're going to want to use essences of delirium here regardless so we're poison immune, but can settle without veiled exalted orb/fractured abyss socket, just swap out a jewel on the tree for a corrupted blood jewel. Rings -> High life > Cast speed > Critical strike multiplier > resists Amulet -> High life > cast speed > critical strike multiplier > resists -> Extra node when looking at jewellery, remember you can search for reflected rings or amulets people have found to buy.
