Overview
Fast pace Assassin build using dual Arc Blades and Whirlwind Attack.Safe, fast clearing speed, no bugged skills, and the more important its Fun.
Arc Blade Whirlwind Deflect/Crit build
First of all I apologize if this guide is confuse and fails to explain how to follow it. English is not my native language so bear with me 🙂
I made a video with footage of my Assassin build to show how to play it, this build provides great damage (without using the bugged skill from AOE tree), great clearing speed, and its very safe because of the high dodge and deflector Shield. Refractor shield and the perk “Crisis Management” can also be used if u don’t like to get hit with spike damage.
run starts at min 1:30
The inoculator and deflector shield are the most crucial items for a smooth and fast run.
- “Chance to reset inoculator CD per kill” will help maintaining uptime of the buffs that give 50% movement speed and 5% crit/crit damage. This will give fast movement while using Whirlwind and some more crit.
- “Medium and elite kills have a % to drop a supply pack” will help by providing enough supply packs to keep various stacks of deflector shield.
I’m currently using a Fabricator Distortion Armor but a Hololithic Armor will work as well.
The enchant on the armor is not required but its a nice extra, it gives some extra mitigation, 5 secs of immunity to damage and all negative effects.
- “10% to trigger a Rosarius force field when hit”
Dual wield Arc Blades with the enchant “Turns your deflect bonus into a equal percentage of damage bonus” this one is just to good to let it pass, with my current dodge/deflect Its giving 70% more damage.
Dunno if using two weapons with that enchant would provide 140% more damage or if only counts one of the enchants, so till I find another weapon with that enchant for testing, I’m using one with “Each attack has a chance to gain armor piercing equal to deflect value”
Most important ones:
- % Critical Hit Chance
- % Deflect
- % Critical Hit Strength
- % to all vulnerability effects
- Attributes
Any of those will be good as well till you get better ones:
- Heat Damage
- Melee Damage
- All damage
- Movement Speed
- HP
- HP per Kill
Skill points that I think are important:
- Close Combat
- Exposed Weakness
- Criticals
- All skills here are important
- Support
- Invigorating Faith
- Debuffs
- Demoralize
- Movement
- Cardial Overdrive
- Cerebral Feedback
- Hit Points
- Vascular Pumps
Feel free to contribute with ideas that might improve this build, or if you have any questions just let me know.
Thanks.
