[3.10] neoCrown's Assassin Bow CoC VD [All content cleared][Deathless Simulacrums/U-Elder/Sirus]
" I believe the life version can reach almost the same eHP levels with the same investment. I actually had a version with >7k life previously but opted to go for more damage and settle at 6.6k hp instead. With the life-based version, you have more defensive options. With ES, you are only relying on leech and maxing dodge can be a problem. With the life version, we have access to Acrobatics and Phase Acro. You can also use a Soul Tether variation with overleech. There was another build going around using this belt and the Corrupted Soul node as a defensive mechanic if you wanted to use something other than Divine Flesh. If you plan on sticking with the LL version, one way to avoid one-shots is to have the Wind Dancer node which makes you take 20% LESS damage if you haven't been hit. The only problem would be to max out your evade/dodge chance as an ES based build. Good luck respeccing if you plan to. | |
" Yeah it won't be as reliable as Max Block characters unless you cap dodge and spec into Divine Flesh. I have a Max Block Jugg and that character feels tankier for sure but not sure if it would rival the clear speed and boss damage with the same investment as an Assassin. Gratz on your 100. I'm close to 99 and will probably end with 100 this league on this character after I tinker with a few guides and other builds. | |

Hey man, I dont know if you remember me, we even talked a bit in game and you were the one like 1 month ago I guess that told me to try this build, welp, after some upgrades and getting to level 93 I tried all endgames I could:
Shaper, Elder, Uber Elder, Simulacrum, Sirus AL5, (still trying to get MM on lvl83 to run, but killed her in lower level, I guess it was 77), and Cortex; I melted most of them, Elder was the easiest one, followed by Uber Elder, the dmg is just insane! I only die if I get lag spikes or dont know the fight, because Im having 0 problems so far, got to wave 20 on simulacrum, was a bit hard because the Impale mod monsters had, but finished it! Im just unsure where to follow to, like, what else can I do in terms of upgrade or changes to my tree? https://pastebin.com/87ZbsbTn If you need, here is the gear Im using (aside of jewels, they are on POB): Thanks so far for the help and the build idea, Im loving it, a lot! Also, Delve is really easy, just hard to side delve in the shadows, because I can get surrounded really easy for not taking enemies down. |

@sign_up The damage bypasses Energy Shield when Divine Flesh is active, so this one is a bit of a waste. HP bonus is great though. Does the damage suffer much?

" The Corrupted Soul only allowed 50% of non-chaos damage bypass the ES. 7k DPS lost, but in my case, I’m actually gaining DPS, because it converted the Firewalker into a mode of 3% chances of doing double (my bow does not have that mode). D2Ghosts Last edited by Sign_Up on May 5, 2020, 2:39:28 PM

One of the best builds so far :P
Gz to the owner of this build :) I have 1 big question... is it better to use the timeless jewel instead any other rare jewel for boost damage ? |

" Bump, I die, a lot and my damage seems a bit sup par. I have a +2 VD amulet but I am not sure if I should switch |
