Hello, i rly like this build cause it's fast.
But, i have problems on higher tier maps, cause, if i stop attacking for just a second (to capture beast, to place totem or anything) i'm just dying a lot.
Maybe that's normal for leech build, dunno, or am i doing something wrong.
Can u, please check my profile, and tell me, if i'm doing something wrong, and where can i improve (i have some spare exes to throw into build).
Thank you.

Your build is already very solid. Possible upgrades:

0. 30 quality your weapons. (I would suggest buy blood seekers with max rolls, not too expensive)
1. Watcher's eye 2 hatred mods jewel for the socket above blood drinker.
2. Get more life nodes instead of DPS node on your tree. (you have 1 5% node and three 4% nodes)
3. Wear a Kaom's root if you have trouble surviving.
4. Abyss jewel with 4 mods, abyss belt with 45+ Wed.

So for me, most death comes from a little stun, and instant dead. Brine King can not prevent the first stun, and that's the most dangerous timing. (It will be more dangerous if you're unlucky: throw a net, got stun by enemies --> dead ) So Kaom's root will solve this problem completely.

Of course, as Assassin the defense will not be as good as Jugg etc, so if you're pushing a really high level, it may take more time and concentration than other defensive builds.

Hi, doing your build right now, everything is quite affordable except the belly of the beast and the Enlighten. My budget right now is around 150 chaos, and i expect to get more currency as i go along, i'm still noob-ish, though not a total noob. What do you recommend me to do, and when will those two items will become mandatory, and if i get the currency needed, which one should i get first, the belly or enlighten. Cheers and good build so far.

For Enlighten as someone already said in 1 of the pages before you can get a starkonja with reduced hatred mana reserve enchant for 20-40c since frost blades enchant is 1ex+

Another option which i really like is increased ice golem buff enchant. It's almost as good as frost blades if you can keep your pet alive/summoned most of the time. (according to PoB it's 20k (%1.7) dps upgrade over frost blades but the %4 crit you get from it is pretty useless on trash with ascendancy but %2 hit is still somewhat useful)

Also at beginning i had problems with capping resists with rings/amulet so i picked Cloth and Chain at bottom and Nullification (also has %5 life) near shadow start.

Edit: Another thing i noticed is both in game and at PoB claws with %169 and %170 increased physical damage has same dps which if it's true pretty much saves 40c x2

So another quick question is it better to get flat cold damage from a hatred mod on a watcher's eye or % cold damage?
