I'm going to build an assa just to kill ubers and i have a doubt about the weapon. I have allways killed them with smite, and smite allways hit 95%, without attack rating. But kicks needs ar. So i was thinking of using a fools phase blade of quickness (i have one in one mule) socked with two bers to get massive ar and awesome speed. But no ones talks about this nice weapon. What do you guys think?

This is what I have been using, definitely has been effective. Prior to this I was using fleshripper/stormlash, which worked but I feel like lashwish has been more effective vs ubers.

But last wish will overwrite my nice fade with a crappy one, and i don't like the hit blinds target as it erases other curses. I think even a 6 socks phase blade with 4bers and 2 shaels would be better.

Blinds target erases curses? I wasn't aware of that, seems like Life tap is just always on when I am kicking

you dont need that much ar, if u ench.
but hell, its not shit, but stormlash makes minions low as well, those are harder to leech and ur single target dmg.

for the ubers itself such weapon BerBer would be good ofc.
ill say its probarly just as good as stormlash for ubers.

the-30wsm speed of it is nice as well, which means you can probarly cham ur Guilaume and use dwarf instead of raven. i needed to use nosferatus instead of strings for the 95ias break, ur break should be lower :)

About the ias, is it really worth it to reach max? There is so much difference between 3-3-3-3-3-9 or 8 and 3-3-3-3-3-7?
Thanks man, you allways give good advice :thumbsup:

So I actually have tested a few different set ups and I actually don't mind the fade or life taip casted with Last Wish.

First, I like to do ubers without having to use pots, so the life tap pretty much makes that an easy task.

I toyed with using atmas too for amp, and since it is a 5% ctc and the life tap is 10%, I roughly have amp on every ~4th - 5th attack (7 kicks per attack). This allows for episodes of more damage and then opportunities to leech life back once life tap casts over it.

Also, I know the curses over cast each other, but does "blind target" really do that too? I don't seem to notice it but you mentioned it.
