quick question, is there a way to apply assasins mark on enemies without using lightning strike such as a passive aura or when i melee hit them?

you have multiple options for casting curses, in general:

1) manually cast it (fuck that unless your cast speed is ridic)

2) cast on/when [insert skill support gem]...best option here would probably be CWDT but i use that for defensive curses, generally

3) curse on hit - what i normally do with LS...though you can also apply it with heralds...thunder being the most direct since it literally casts lightning bolts at shit. ash should work with the overkill damage...and a lot of archers use herald of ice to get charges because the herald will curse but instantly shatter shit (which is basically what you are doing with LS). to be clear...you are technically melee hitting them in this scenario.

4) blasphemy - reserves 50% of your mana...you'd have to swap out hatred, which would drop your DPS a lot

quick question for you: are you just curious or are you trying to get more out of the build somehow such that i could help you?

I farmed uber lab a bit more (the traps are more dangerous than literally anything lol), so far so good. Just trying to earn up currency to get some 300pdps or higher claws- quite a ways to go, people want several exalts apparently, and ive got two.

On a sort of related, fantastical note, while i'll never afford it, someone is apparently selling a 551pdps claw in abyss (tho it costs a mirror, ive never seen one anywhere even in that ballpark- its scary as hell lol)

hey thanks for the reply. well i kinda tried to get a replacement for lightning strike because while on an open arena lightnign strike is realy great it kinda sucks on maps with a lot of objects blocking projectiles. i was thinking about something so my dual strike could also apply curses but i guess this wont be possible without sacrificing dps .
