Hey guys, I noticed many people are struggling with survivability and thought I would share my thoughts and how I overcame this for my version of this build.

- Do not stack entirely offensive auras. You need a balance. Currently, I am running Malevolence, Herald of Agony, Flesh and Stone (entirely sand stance), and Vitality. These are all inside the Diadem helm. I feel running a high level vitality aura is very important. No enlighten is needed, just stick these auras in your helm and you should be able to level vitality to around level 17 (where I'm at right now).

- Choose Surging Vitality over Fettle for your small cluster jewels. The %HP gain is similar, but the QoL is MUCH higher. I am currently at 503 hp regen/second in hideout, and this boosts up to 1400 hp regen/second every 4 seconds thanks to double Surging Vitality jewels. Combined with the feast of flesh from the Diadem helm, that's another big chunk of regen every 5 seconds in battle. Whenever I get hit, which isn't often, my hp instantly shoots back up to full and that's a nice feeling.

- Get Asenath's gloves for your explosions, and choose a defensive chest. I went with Kintsugi, which combined with Wind Dancer is doing solid work in keeping me alive.

- You should absolutely not be using 2x CIP for mapping unless you have GG top end gear. I do MORE than enough damage to clear t16s quickly, including bosses, with 1xCIP and Mistwall. Any more is simply overkill and I only weapon swap to my 2xCIP setup for Guardians, Conqs and Sirus.

- Don't ignore Chaos resistance. I'd like to get more but currently sitting at 33% and it feels comfortable.

- I am currently able to fit in an Enduring cry gem linked to second wind, and it helps with generating endurance charges during ritual fights and acts as an extra life potion when needed.

I only died 3 times from lvl 1 to lvl 90 (pretty good for me since I'm a pretty casual player), but hit a wall around red maps where I died about a half dozen times in a few juicy maps. I made these changes and have only died once more since then and it was to a stage 3 Sirus cold beam. I feel quite sturdy at the moment and I'm not afraid of any boss fight

Thanks to everyone for their tips in this thread... i've been reading along all league and viewing people's profiles, making small tweaks here and there, and it's been a lot of fun!

Hahahahahaha you're not even checking what assassin builds are being played right, even the squishy CoC and bladeblast get to 100, the only salty around here is those who spend more time blaming people for choosing an utterly unreliable broken build and pretending to be an expert than playing the game.

Hey, I'm really enjoying this build, but I'm wondering what exactly Skitterbots are here for, do we benefit from shock and chill?

Does anybody know what type of modifier/tag Overwhelming Malice is under? I've just started spamming Aberrant Fossils on a cluster jewel but have had no luck.

craftofexile is a good site for crafters:

Try to craft two prefixes, and ifyou have one open suffix, try to farm harvest for a physical-exalt-slam-recipe. That's a guaranteed Grim Oath.

Hello !

I'm having an absolute blast with this build, melting trough t15 with ease.

What would be the next step for me to improve my build by order of priority with around 20 ex to invest? I'm looking to kill endgame bosses if possible.

Thanks again for sharing that build i'm having a blast !

Happy gaming everyone.
