Well biggest con at least for me is that you would need something to help with clear in order to make it feel at least half as good as on Pathfinder, so something like Asenath's Gentle Touch would be imo kind of required as gloves.

Another con is sustaining Corallito on bosses, what would probably be an issue, so maybe you would want to also take perfect agony on tree.

Pros are that Assassin has around 30% more damage (or even more if you count poison duration from Noxious Strike) and can sustain elusive at at least half of its effectiveness for some extra dodge and extra damage reuction from Mistwalker. Also getting 40% chance to poison on hit from first ascendancy helps a bit for leveling (even though TR leveling with pathfinder is probably still a bit better because of Nature's Reprisal and inc aoe + prolif as first ascendancy)

I am really thinking about at least trying Assassin with this build as at least the single target looks very very fun on it (and also I played PF SA like half of the total time I played legion), so its definitely a valid choice.

For Assassin tree, I would probably go with something like this:

Saying "to clear" , do you mean the Nature's Reprisal (AOE)?

I mean the poison prolif from Nature's Reprisal what helps with clear a lot on Pathfinder, so not having that on Assassin kind of hurts.

Really looking foward to play this build, I have (somewhat) tested it in Standard and loved the playstyle.

Apart from that, whats the band of the min 7 aprox of the video of the beachhead? its crazy!

Edit.:Glorius Vanity wont be a bit hard to find until mid league? its mandatory?

Hey man, I hope I get a reply fast because I'm worried about the Darkscorn notes at the bottom of poewiki.

It says that on v.3.7:

"Item no longer drops outside of Legion League.
Attack Speed up to 20% (from 10%)
Flat Damage up to 15-20 to 25-30 (from 10-15 to 15-20)
Now grants 20% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 300% more Damage"

What does "Item no longer drops outside of Legion League," mean? We won't be seeing darkscorn on 3.8? Could you check it out please. Also, if it will exist on 3.8, why is the line "Now grants 20% chance for Poisons inflicted with this Weapon to deal 300% more Damage" crossed out?
Btw, why not take vaal pact and all the other leech nodes there? I'm using it on my PoB and I get 2.9k life leech on my thorn arrows.

That is Taurisas: Rasputin :)

Yeah Glorious Vanity will probably be harder to find because its legion only, but no, its not mandatory at all, its extra survivability, but we already have way more survivability than most ranger builds anyway.

It means that getting Darkscorn is only possible from legion content, it was like that since buffs in 3.7. As in 3.8 legion is still available, then bow will be available too.

The crossed out line means change, in 3.7 they buffed Darkscorn and added that poison mod.

If Darkscorn will not be available early before someone actually gets it from legion encounters there are bunch of other options, my personal favorite is delve crafted poison short/thick bow (with delve mod 60% chance to deal 100% more damage) and with 40% chaos dot multi crafted on top of it.

Vitality Void is valid choice for this build if you feel like you are lacking leech. I never needed it that much to actually spend so much points for it so I just skipped it.

But Vaal Pact is no no, because we have so much degen we would need to leech constantly, and that is kind of hard and annoying to do with SA.

Again if Darkscorn will take a few days to get, would bows like Lioneyes be a decent option?
Any other suggestions tja the delge crafted?


Thanks for all the updates and help man!!!

Yeah definitely, or some other high pdps cheap unique bow. Opus will be probably fine as well with that crit multi, but that one is kind of harder to get.
