[3.24] 🗡The Nightblade🗡Nightshade Tincture | Incorporeal | New demo video up

Hey,

Thanks for all the advice, I've picked up a new Ryslatha's coil, the best i could find for a reasonable price, it's also 20 quality, so that's nice too. Ive also bought one of those chest pieces with frenzy on, along with adding a resist to my dagger to better balance out my new resists. Looking into a new ring to replace my current Amethyst ring, but would love any further insight, I've also 20 qualitied my flasks too. Feeling a lot better, damage still a bit low in areas, but overall in a really good spot now. Thank you for all the help! :)

Hey,

There are quite a number of things you can improve.

- I can see you've found an amulet with phys as extra cold and lightning, good.

- The flasks are also better now than on your PoB (looking directly at your character page : https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Kounosuke/characters )
But you need a life flask with anti-bleed, very important for survival.

- Lifetap support for Whirling Blades should be kept at level 1. Otherwise, it won't proc often enough.

- Craft a bench mod on your rare dagger.

- Find a better body armour, with lot of life and "10% chance to gain a Frenzy charge on hit". You can find some good ones for 1 divine : https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Crucible/YD2VnghY

- 20/20% on your Blade Flurry gems whenever you can.

- You can buy a better Ryslatha belt (40% less min dmg is the worst roll I think).

- Your Cast on Critical Strike support linked to Phase Run is useless. You would need an attack skill linked to trigger Cast on Crit.

Hope it will help you. Do not hesitate if you've more improvements and need further advice :)
Very good body armour :)


From now on, you will do fine tunings.

Elem dmg catalysts on your amulet.
Elem res catalysts on your rings.

Eldritch implicits on the body.
Replace poison implicit on the boots with a better one.

A Starkonja with a BF enchantment.

You can always find a better Brutal Restraint, but it takes time.

Level your character to complete your cluster jewel.

Here is a PoB :
https://pobb.in/gk7BgqACU6Yx

Requires level 91 : +3 pts.
Removed Assassination, one small life node, the Spell Suppression Mastery and the Mastery on Revenge of the Hunted : +5 pts.

With 8 pts, you get full large cluster + medium one with Overwhelming Malice for Unholy Might
+ 2 jewels with life, res, dmg etc.

Good luck and have fun :)

Slightly updated PoB : https://pobb.in/ih21F0yvEBSA

I've included several rare daggers that have similar DPS to the Bino's.

Also, I've put Infused Channelling and Energy Leech, so that you compare the numbers.
Several players have asked me which support is better (and that is a legit question, since I have hesitated) : Infused Channelling has the best DPS, but you have to maintain it, while Energy Leech is easier to activate.

I have completed the related question in the FAQ section :

"Infused Channelling or Energy Leech, which support is better ?
Both supports are good. We don't have a lot of ES, but with Energy Leech, I'm pretty sure you benefit from the 50% chance to avoid stun while you have (at least 1pt of) ES.
On the other hand, Infused Channeling grants 8% reduced phys dmg taken, which is good and grants more DPS. But you have to keep it activated."

GL & HF !

In this game, there are so many new things, big or small, each league, that it's hard to keep track of everything.
I've just discovered this :

In 3.21, the Tombfist gloves can have several new interesting mods, depending of the abyss jewel socketed in it.

With a Murderous Eye, you can get :
Melee Hits intimidate for 4 seconds
Melee Hits have 25% chance to Fortify.

https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Standard/w3B5GzKcb

These gloves are very cheap, whether in leagues or in Standard.
All mods here :
https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/Tombfist

I'll add them as recommendations, at least for levelling. After that, Fortify is still one of the best supports for BF and Awakened Melee Phys is really good.

Good luck and have fun :)

Corrected and updated the first post, removing outdated infos.

UPDATES

* Against tough bosses, I begin the fight with Assassin's Mark. When the enemy reaches low-life, I cast Punishment to finish the fight quickly.

I've made some simulations with Cospri's Will body to get both curses, but I think one curse and Frenzy charge from a rare body are better overall.

* Best crucible mods on a dagger

Thx to Sleepy Time.

> Less global dmg + 30% atk speed
> +16% quality.
> 15% physical and chaos explicit modifiers.
> Lastly Overwhelms 30-35% phys dmg red. But its a big "IF" you get them at the right spots in the same tree.

> Bino's are worth if you get the "Less global dmg + 30% atk speed" and the phys and chaos modifiers. Premium if you get 16% qual on it too. Sadly Bino's has a lot of Caster mods on its Crucible tree.

> There is a strange interaction between Curse on hit rings with Mark on hit. It seems you can get the benefit of them both if you use Marks yourself. But only for a single hit. So you can do Arcanist brand + Mark instead of Mark on hit. It only works for 1 hit per application of Arcanist brand. Kinda good if you're looking for more DPS in Uber bossing scenarios.

* Additional recipe for body armour

Find a synthetised armour with "10% chance to gain a frenzy charge on hit" as implicit. You can have up to 3 implicits on these synthetised items. Look for some elem res.

/!\ Can be expensive.

Good luck and have fun :)

Cospri's Will setup

With the help of PoB, I'm trying to maximize the Effect Hit Pool (EHP) of the build.
The EHP takes into account all your life, ES, block, evade, avoid etc.

With the current setup, I have 78k EHP.
https://pobb.in/ih21F0yvEBSA

I have begun to test a setup with Cospri's Will.

This body armour fits the Assassin theme perfectly and it raises the EHP significantly.
Even though I lose 200 life, I have reached 140k EHP, almost the double !

https://pobb.in/lunKMdFQVbXk

Perks

> Always poison cursed enemies.
--> Always procs Bino's regen.
--> With Disease Vector (dagger cluster notable), poisoned enemies cannot regen life.

> 75% chaos res with Bino's (+10%), Cospri (+52%), Lori's Lantern (+30%), elem/chaos res mods on equipment.


> 67% Evade Chance.

> A second large dagger cluster jewel.

> Two curses, including Punishment = +50% DPS against enemies on low-life.
* I have realized that Assassin's Mark is useless against enemies on LL because we get 100% crit chance with the Ascendancy.
* Corrupted Shaper's gloves with Vuln or Despair on hit.


> The DPS is now much higher against enemies on low-life.

Drawbacks

> No more Frenzy charges.

> No more Magebane. Only 38% Spell Suppression.

*

This setup feels more Assassin, and safer to play. I die less often, unless I really don't pay attention.

Demo videos coming soon !

Good luck and have fun :)

Please, check some of my crazy POB-stuff, about an hour of theorycrafting xD.

Not sure for vitality essential, maybe going from 52% to 55% unreserved HP better for overall survivability.
Actually, can easy drop some chaos res with atziry's promise and add immunity to corrupted blood on some jewel may be essential. Many jewel sockets - good flexibility overall.

Is this real to build? What budget?

Hey,
sorry for very late answer.

Thanks for this work !

These are crazy numbers for sure, assuming you have every buff at the same time (all flasks, Vaal Warchief, Phase Run etc.)

I'm not sure about 55% unreserved HP. It's a bit more EHP for sure, but Vitality is good against degen zones.

Using Frenzy skill may feel clunky, I don't know.

Two flasks missing ? Maybe you wanted to use the Traitor keystone ?

Thx again, good luck and have fun :)

I'm preparing a video with Cospri's Will. Will release it soon.

Thank you! I'm just leveling up so far (not much time to actually play).

Vitality isn't dropped - it's some games with arrogance level and/or alternative quality (btw, anomalous arrogance price is crazy now)
Flasks are left free, so there may be some options - what to use; advice is accepted and appreciated xD (rotgut, flasks on the vaal abilities look interesting). Onslaught feels okay, not sure about blade flurry having attack speed cap or so.
Frenzy seems to be more useful for clear than the phase run (a bit of burst damage that needs to be timed out, meh). Movement speed is already huge, plus constantly wirling around. So I dropped phase run.

It will obviously be difficult to gain resistances for me, because QOL decision - the amulet with a free punishment aura. But it feels so smooth, also having a good 'on rare kill' effect.

Wow, you've found an Impresence with Vulnerability and Punishment as free auras, very nice indeed ! Must be expensive.
(Oh ok, only 1 divine in league. But 34 div in Standard. Damn, I really gotta play in league again !)


You're right about Frenzy charges. There is another way : (Vaal) Cold Snap. But you may not get 100% uptime of charges this way, though.

There is no attack speed cap on the skills.

On PoB, I've tested Anomalous Arrogance and Vitality level 13, so as to get 55% Unreserved Life : with the 55% Life Mastery, it improves the Effective Hit Pool by 4%. Not bad actually.
