Without 100% elemental ailment avoidance, is it worth it to go perfect agony on the tree for more ST? I can give up two life nodes for it, if it makes bossing easier.

You get Perfect Agony from Coralito's Flask. no need to specc into that keystone.

On poeninja, all BB/BF assassins have 3/3/3 endu/frenzy/power charges. How do they get it?

For Endurance, you have the small cluster jewel (EC on hit every second). For Power charges, you can get a corrupted Obliteration wand which gives you a chance to gain a PC on kill. Another often used method would be to link CWDT to Storm Brand + Power Charge on Crit.
Frenzy Charges: You could use either Blood Rage (though FC is the only useful thing it gives us), or get a ring with "+1 to minimum FC / chance to gain a FC on kill", which is a veiled mod.

Why should Clarity not be linked to the other gems?

It depends on the linked gems. Support gems have mana multiplier, which means, that you'd reserve more mana for clarity than you should.


If you feel that you have enough damage but could use some more survivability, you could always try to use a shield. I used this one (forget the links in there, they're nonsense :-D ):


+4 to max resist gives us a lot of defense, it gives decent all res and if you get a corrupted one to take phys as ele, that helps a lot too.

I used this build as a league starter, after i watched Zizaran's video. If it doesn't get nerved, i'll use it again next league. I invested almost nothing within the first week except for maybe 3ex, and i went straight to red maps - compared to other league starters, where i invested at least 15ex the first week.

Btw, if you use "Soul Siphon" instead of "Druidic Rite", you don't need Clarity for mapping. I got myself a Vaal Clarity, and used VD only for bosses. Soul Siphon gave me more than enough mana back for mapping.

Thank you for making these guides, Enki. As someone has already pointed out, your format and the way you explain things is really helpful and makes it a lot easier for people like me to get into a build.

That being said, I'm having a blast with it so far (pun intended). Not the fastest mapper (yet), but considering I haven't invested a single chaos orb, it's amazing how it already melts packs and bosses.

what weapon to use before lvl56?

Thanks so much for your detailed Build/Guide, it helped me realy get into the game. :)

hello, i want to ask, if i have carcass jack, but its only 5 linked, which gem can i use in 5 link ?

how do I get "+1 to Level of all Physical Spell Skill Gems" while leveling?

This is such a good guide. The break down for acts is great for newbies and intermediates alike. I just had fun seeing how to build through the acts. Look forward to following your builds in the future.

Is this build surviving all the 3.15 changes? The thing I'm worried about the most is not the damage but the mana reservation/mana cost of skills.

@enki91, are you going to update the first post of this thread?
