well in this guide his assa has also a great portion of physical dmg due to 5x 3/20/20 and gclaws which i cannot afford
will this assa work well without this huge dmg boost ??


Yes it will :) This build is more or less a standard Hybrid, although it has a few "uncommon" items that are hard to find, like the gclaws, fools, amu, etc. And it uses 9 shadow sks, while some hybs like to mix it up with trap sks, to their liking.

Very few hybrids have Gclaws, even the good ones :) But yes, you may want to consider ar/life(which is better than 3/20/20 in this case) or 20/5@ as scs instead. A suwayyah chaos + RT/feral fools(um+um) works pretty great, it's not must to have gclaws, just makes it stronger ofc.

as for fools would simple magic 40 ias fools 3 ls 2 sox gts (2x um) make it ? or should i search something with more physical dmg ?


Yes, a claw like that works quite well, but isn't as easy to find as you might think. A runic would be better, though, obviously.

Your physical damage will be low, but you'll still have Venom/OW/LS, so you should be set.

Dexterity would be put to much better use than Strength.


dex isnt really needed because you already get the dex from dancers. str on the other hand is needed.

Question, how mandatory is the fools claw in this build, like, will I be able to still connect with most characters without AR from either a fools or a 2/20/2/vis? Also, about how much should I expect to drop on a godly helm or claw like that?

most of the time you can still manage to kill people without fools claw because you are a hybrid and as a hybrid you have the ability to use traps to force characters that otherwise would be hard to hit (barbs/pallies) to chase you. as they chase you, you can please defensive and clip/zig-zag ww them to score hits

so yea.. while fools makes your like MUCH easier, its still possible with only chaos/fury

Okay, thanks. Do you think 3k is enough to spend on a godly fools? And I assume vis is unnecessary? 2/20/2 is preferable or mandatory?

That's a fine claw, and should do well.
