Still having a ton of fun with this build man!
Been upgrading my gear a bit here and there plus my Winter Orb character, doing lots of things at once so slow progress lol.
But always in the search for best builds to get into next league and so on.

Anyway can you take a quick look at my gear maybe?
Im thinking on getting eighter Loreweave 6link next around 5exalts.. or the amulet.
Still in yellow maps and I feel sometimes mana might run out.. like 1\10th of the time.. so wondering if I should be prepeared to get a manacost reduction ring or mana gained on hit ring?

Resists were a pain in the aassss to get on the same level to have max buffs from the Wise Oak.

Still thinking if to use Dread Banner (I just always forget to use it lol, kinda hate the mechanic) or now maybe Stone Golem.. or even maybe Decoy totem.. although decoy seems so useless unless its something big.. but havent met anyone.. BIG yet, everything dies in 1-2 shots.

I do feel that I don´t proc quite as often as id like to.. my hideout crit is 33.4% atm. APS is 3.7 and using jewels\passives to get APS just right and not having to use onslaught flask.

I bought jewels to get DEX requirements right plus some resists to get Wise Oak stuff going on instead of getting it mostly from gear right now or passive nodes.

Bought Fingerless gloves and added +1lvl to socketed AoE gems.. should be good?

Oh and most importantly.. I added PHASE RUN.. as I really love it.. and I felt that speed was lackluster. Although I still feel phase run feels a bit slow without efficacy. But just lost faster casting for flame dash for Phase Run.. so imo a decent choice.

And what would be a good RARE chest armour mod?
Had small life on it (24).. but thinking 120ES regen per second might be better, will try that out.. but also have crit chance mods that I can add to it!

Again, mega build. Love it!


Some more tips for leveling that I was thinking:

As an Assassin you can also buy Onslaught early on. Add that to Flame Dash until you can buy Faster Casting in ACT II.
Early on buy Fire Trap for early bosses, bosses melt with it.
Can add Bear Trap aswell for further increased deeps and nice slow effect.
Also at 28 you can buy Lightning Spire Trap! So buy that for very nice damage boost for bosses!! You can add Increased Critical Damage, Lightning Penetration and Trap and Mine Support to it.

Hey there! Glad you are still enjoying it!

If you're deciding between loreweave and amulet, loreweave will be a match bigger upgrade. It's way more important than the amulet.

About mana, check on the "important notes & gameplay tips" section where I state lots of things that can help.

I keep dread banner mostly for the reduced accuracy aura, i rarely place it myself. It's a nice bonus for 10% mana reservation - if your mana can handle it of course.

You are indeed not proccing as often, the reason is you got your APS to 3.7 but unfortunately that's the attack speed needed provided you have 14% increased cooldown recovery! Without one, the optimal APS is actually just 3! So feel free to remove coordination node and change jewels - or get a belt with at least 14% cooldown recovery! Also that crit chance will improve with loreweave.

+1 AoE gems isn't that great since vortex wont deal much damage anyway - better switch that for a +28 life hybrid craftable mod!

I wouldnt bother too much with a rare chest, unless it's one beast of a chest. Loreweave is just too good for this build, it has everything.

Uhuhh... so you are sayin.. the way I have played this all the time.. has been wrong.. what do I now 0.1 shot mobs? LOL.. wtf :D
How did I get this wrong hmm.. anyway 3.7 I need when I have CDR on belt or boots right? 14%+ although I guess just 14% is enough. 7+7 Belt\boots works too right?

Just to make sure without 14%+ belt your attack speed can ether be slightly less than 3APS or 6APS? but with belt it can be slightly less than 3.75APS or 7.5APS? There is no damaged change between 3APS and 6APS but the leech does increase is this correct[besides having faster clear speed]?
