You can check my profile for my gear, probably a few ex worth but I got some stuff for cheap (bought the chest for 11c). Currently up in T15/16 maps and it's doing fine. Next big upgrade will need 3 more levels so I can equip Calamitous Intent. Haven't had much luck with rolling a good wand, so that's also on the agenda.

It's not the tankiest thing so positioning and knowing mechanics is important. The biggest damage comes from overlapping the projectiles from Blazing Salvo, so very nimble/mobile bosses and enemies will be annoying.

On open maps it feels a lot better thanks to ash explosions and fork from fireball clearing screens. Make sure map mods aren't too rippy and you'll be fine.

Hi the build is performing really fine, I went with Kaom's Heart because the build feels pretty squishy and it has been doing fine, I'm at t14 maps and the clear is amazing and the boss clearing is also nice, one of the fastest I've played, the not so good things are that you need to position yourself well to get salvo to hit hard and that even with kaom's heart I feel squishy, but well this is PoE if something does not one hit you, you are probably in act 1.

I updated the assassin endgame version along with explanations.

@pra-lima87: Going LL will work, will give you very easy dmg due to Auras on life and Pain Attunement.

Tree will drastically change thou, you will need to drop the whole ranger part and move into templar area

Hello!

Thanks for the build guide. Just had a question. As Scion whats the minimum mana reserved for Herald of Ash on the ring that I can have to run the optimal 6L + 4L + HoA? I already have the 12% RMR from the charisma wheel and 2% from Conquerors Efficiency Jewel.

@Trivialmatters your POB for lb98 endgame link use KAOM. It required 191 str. How did you cover that. In the Pob you have only 146 STR.

its my cluster jewel giving t1 str, but yea u should account for the extra stat needs for kaom's

Thanks for the guide, it has been one of the better league starters i have tried over the years :)

Anyway, I couldnt afford 2 Anguish with fire dmg and buff effect, so i got 2 with buff effect and reduced mana reserved, which leaves me with quite a lot of extra mana(about 10%). Is there a gem you would recommend over altered blind for me?

well basicly any dps gem that fits in the mana is good. cheapest option would be culling strike (110% reserve)

I've tried with assassin. The gameplay feel is great. Only thing is you get very less life and regen. I'm out of ideas how to improve it further.
