Stats



They're all mess up, i put points into strength for my boneweave boots before i got annie and torch, but basically str for gear and the rest to vit.

Merc

Flickering Flame : I'll explain later
Infinty: Eth Tresher -> +302 ED / -47% Lightning Res
Toothrow: I haven't found anything better yet.

PLAYSTYLE

Ok, so I use my assassin to do mostly chaos sanctuary runs (I personally think that cs and cows are the best maps for this build). What it do is go to River of flame, cast cloack of shadow to build up my charges like this 2PS + 3CoT + 3BoI + 3 FoH +3 TS + 3CS and i ended up with a 37k dragon talon damage, then i use Dragon Flight to get as fast as i can to Chaos Sanctuary and then in about 2 - 3 mins ill kill diablo. Its a fast and fun run but i would like to get a way to get my charges up until diablo appears.

For Baal, things are a bit more complicated. As i show previously, my resistances even with fade are bs and souls basically one shot me. This is why im using Flickering flame on the merc even when the -% fire res to enemies does not applies to me the resist fire aura it helps a lot to get at least some decent fire res (after fade is cast). If Dolls are on the map they will one shot me If I use a dwarf star, the fire absord will be enough to avoid being killed by the dolls?

Regarding life leech, if im using full cobra strike charges, do i need to stack more LL from other items? for example would it be more usefull to swap my string of ears for a nice arachnid mesh or the PDR on the string of ears is actually usefull?

So, this is a whole rundown for my character, any improvement would be pretty much appreciated... i would to get to 50k dmg if possible.

GGs!

To keep charges up for diablo you need 1 point into mind blast when you pop the last seal spam mind blast on venom lords till you convert them then kill seal boss the mobs you converted will not poof after you kill the seal boss when they return to normal you can kill it to keep you’re charges then diablo will spawn and still have all you’re charges

And I only put 1 point into kick on mine
You could max fade if you want or more points into fist of fire but don’t go over lvl 33 or you won’t be able to leach I kept mine at lvl31

I see people saying this about Diablo but just go hit something in river once and come back. You should be back before he spawns with c/t tele and good fcr.

To op - get rid of fire and cold sunders and replace with ma gcs, get 102 fcr if you can afford and you might as well max fade and use it

But this guy don’t have enigma yet most people don’t use mind blast too so it’s good to get it in the claw
I only use lightning sounder and 2 fhr ma gc

oh yea true the no enigma will do it - I never recommend using mindblast late game on any sin build though. good for playthrough and self found/mid game situations though!

Definitely going to piggy back on previous suggestions of max fade. You do 100% more dmg when you are alive.

I only put 1 point into fade invested more on weapon block watch out for dolls tho

Heavy diminishing returns on claw block while fade gives stacked res and linear 1%damage reduction per point

Clearly you’re underestimating what claw block does yes they do have heavy diminishing return I’m not saying to aim for max 63% claw block try to get as close to 60% I had mine at 57% only cos I put some points into fist of fire to lvl31

No I know what it does. I bring it to 56-57 and max fade since fist of fire is redundant
