What do you think about using an assassins mark on hit shaper ring? Worth it?

Question for you, in the leveling tree you get 3 jewel sockets right off the bat... which jewels are supposed to go in those places? I don't see suggestions anywhere so I just skipped them until later, but I'd love to put the jewels in now if I knew which ones!

" Yes I think it's very worth it, it's a lot of damage but you'll have to spec into more life into your gear/tree in order to run it. |
|
" Might of the Meek is really insane with the Scion wheel since they stack, essentially increasing the effectiveness of every minor node around there by quite a bit. For example the resistance nodes on the lower side of the scion wheel grant 45% to each respective resistance rather than just 18%. The amount of stats that jewel grants for Scion specifically is really broken. |
|
" Pandemonius is good, but it still won't come close to the DPS Yoke will give you. However I guess if you want a reliable Blind then it's still an option. |
|
" Try using both Added Lightning and Cold Damage supports to your gem setup while leveling so you have good base damage values, should help a bit. |
|
" I personally preferred simply using Curse on Hit Assassin's Mark linked with Herald of Ice if you want to do this, that way you can focus more on pure damage/resistances with your Shaper ring. |
|
" Ideally you'd want to slot in 3 Might of the Meek jewels even for leveling but if you don't have them you can just use some leveling Abyss Jewels. |
|
" Doing it that way wouldn't allow you to get assassins mark on the boss no? Would it be worth losing 23% increased ele to attacks craft to always apply it on bosses? |
|
" Remember that almost all endgame bosses have 80% Less Curse Effectiveness, and Assassin's Mark doesn't grant very much DPS compared to most other curses anyways without the power charges (which you won't be getting much of at all against most bosses), because of this it's not worth it at all to use over simple damage stats against bosses. |
