Need advice for hidden blade build

Hi everyone !

I'm kind of new to poe, found this old build online and tried it for myself, I am really enjoying but find myself dying a lot for some reason, mostly on tier 14+, anything I can do to upgrade it for cheap ?

Here's the build https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/Fraktalis-3565/mirage/character/Kassara

Thanks !

Starting with your flasks, all the "increased armour" suffixes won't stack together, only the stronges one will be applied. I'd recommend you to swap basalt flask for jade flask and get other suffixes. Good suffixes might be:
- increased armour
- increased evasion
- reduced effect of shock (shock ground might be deadly in red maps)
- additional resistances (little overcap so you won't be afraid of curses on the maps)

Also throw away the silver flask as you don't get any benefit from onslaught. You can replace it with the same jade flask if you really need 20% more armour from basalt or use quicksilver flask instead.

You can also recraft gloves and boots to fit a bit more evasion by the cost of removing a tiny bit of armour.



Now with the build itself: as i can see, this is a Hidden Blade Corrupting Fever Ascendent. From my own experience, this is a fun build, but definitely not begginer-friendly. Hidden blades feel slow in practice with 0.5s cooldown. The other problem is that this build seems to be old. It's made for 3.22 which should have lots of differences from 3.28.

If hidden blade isn't necessary, you can change the trigger for corrupting fever. I recommend looking at what builds exist in poe.ninja and what triggers they do use.

Very insightful thank you so much !
