You think losing that much HP is worth it for that evasion/dodge?

It wasn't for me. Reliable hp > unreliable dodge as long as your hp is enough to get through whatever one shot is killing you most (eg guardians v elder v shaper etc).

Probably just comes down to a difference in play style. If I was playing hardcore I'd probably agree with you, but from my experience there isn't much in the game that 1 hits you that isn't obviously telegraphed. I'm no Mathil or anything, but as long as I'm paying attention the instant freeze on trash mobs and all the other defences I listed before makes mapping a breeze and every boss except Uber, Catarina and some Delve bosses can pretty much be done blindfolded in under 3 seconds.

I'm probably going to try out the more HP + Discipline route again once I have the watchers eye, I just don't want to give up the insta-kill damage.

What are two good Watcher's Eye implicts to look out for for under 2ex?

Kinda of want to buy one

How big an increase of damage is the cooldown recovery speed belt+14% cospris over not having those? Wondering if its worth it to drop the currency on it.

I’m in my phone, but a big question for me is which delivers more dps: 120% increased damage, HoI or aspect of the spider?

120% damage Id say, no access to PoB tho now.

However keep incmind that "damage while leeching" is active less than half of the time.

Well, I've done a major respec using some of the ideas in the scion thread.

Even as pure assassin I've now taken two might of the meeks and an unnatural instinct and gone around the scion starting area. It is pretty immense - albeit reasonably expensive (but not much more so that acuities really)

I can now run fully capped resistances easily even while wearing Kaom's roots.

Even at level 93 I'm at over 7k life now, 500% crit multi (not including low/full life ascendancy passive) and virtually capped crit chance without a diamond. I also have pathfinder-esque flasks. Running Anger, Discipline and Aspect of the Spider.

Key decisions now are:
- what to run in my final spare gem slot
- whether to run both wise oak and atziri flasks instead of overflowing chalice
- Improving one or two of my jewels

Check it out!

NB: This is using a <6aps BF build - it would be easy to go to a <7.57aps build using cdr boots (or belt), as there are lots of easy ways to get the aps up (eg lightning golem, blood rage, ancestral protector)

"1 crit trigger 1 spell, so since your cospris has 2 spells in it, i believe you need to crit 12 per second (6aps)"

Was this ever answered?

Ye, basically cospri alternates between the 2 spells regardless of attack speed.

with 6 APS we'd proc double the amount of cospri spells (6 frostbolt + 6 ice nova instead of 3 + 3) but getting that much attack speed just for the cospri gems has disadvantages that far outweigh the advantages.

It's 14% more damage.

Leveling this right now, what gems should I try to get quality first?

Blsphemy and then ice nova and its support gems.
