[3.27] Assasin Nightblade Oshabi Template

No fancy guide in here. Just PoBed and tested Nightblade with the buffed Assasin. You can check the PoBs for yourself and see if it's worth it for you or not. I will answer any questions tho, either here or on stream.

I've made PoBs for both poison and bleed. Both rely on Nightblade as it's basically free 400+ crit multi and gives flat crit on your gem of choice.

The reason to consider Nightblade viable is the new Oshabi bloodline which says
"50% chance to remove Elusive on 100%". 3/4 years back we had ways to keep Elusive high all the time but it was nerfed and this is basically 50% chance to do exactly that - keep Elusive above 100% ( might not be enough but if it was 100% we would go to Nightblade meta all over again )

For those who don't know about Elusive - with this setup it's as I said around 400% crit multi, 100% move speed and 45-60% chance to avoid All hits ( PoB doesn't calculate this properly, just FYI )

Both PoBs are made quite generic and can be modified a lot for your own builds. They're both very cheap and have quite high DPS for the investment - talking about 20M DPS with less than 10d budget. I don't think you can leaguestart it but I tested it now in 3.26 and it felt just fine during campaign. ( normal Viper Strike for bosses and Venom Gyre for clear )

Mamba Poison Template : https://pobb.in/2aOh37MPcilI ( easier to get damage, less defense )
Puncture Bleed Template : https://pobb.in/5FvqAktxvo63 ( tankier and less damage )

promising, testing it later

I didn't realize they added a bunch of more elusive effect nodes and other sources. It definitely should be viable on sin with oshabi and that annoint. will it be OP? nah but should be pretty fun.

I had 280% now in 3.26 during campaign, you should be able to get something around 400% elusive

Check oshabi again. They nerfed it. 50% chance to refresh at 50% effect now.

Edit: idk some sources cite 50% poedb says 100% effect still. Kinda annoying.

Quite sad tbh I dont think it will be worth doing now. Could still be a fun build for later. 50% for 100 elusive was in my opinion barely playable. 50% for 50 elusive means you wont take the anoint anymore and it will feel pretty bad now.

Edit: If it really is nerfed, couldnt find any mention of the nerf
