[3.11] SS Blade Blast Assassin! (W/ VID) (| BUDGET!! | Sirus Viable |)

bwam's Low-Budget, Endgame-Content-Friendly BLADE BLAST Assassin!

---

Update 2020-AUG-19:

This build has successfully killed Sirus (Awakening 0, but my first League killing him), The Elder, all Conquerors deathlessly, T16s like potato chips....

The updated gear:

The way this build works:

You drop blades via Bladefall and Ethereal Knives and then blow them up with a 6L Blade Blast and lots of AoE.

You scale Phys Damage and add it as Chaos Dmg mainly (but also Fire via an Awakened Added Fire Damage support gem).

The build puts lots of poison on enemies, and via the Assassin ascendancy node Toxic Delivery, increases base Critical Strike chance by 2% and has quite a nasty DoT bite against enemies.

The gear is very affordable.

First, the Cluster Jewels, which you will need two of:

Cluster Jewels
Grim Oath (Gain 10% Phys Dmg as Extra Chaos Dmg)
Iron Breaker (Overwhelm 10% Phys Dmg Reduction; 35% inc Phys Dmg)
8 Nodes
2 Jewel Sockets

The rest of the (very affordable) gear:


(For skill gems and support gems, check the gear.)


This build makes easy work of T16s. It can die, but that's mainly skill-dependent, as you will see in the video below.

I highly recommend this build: It's fast, it's fun, and it gets 'er done.

Fixed the video link, it now works.

Hi, isn't it spellslinger considered as trigger and will make bladefall create 50% less blades? Even will ethereal knife, the number of blade created seems ant compare with self cast bladefall with unleash + cascade.

The build functions superbly, let me tell you. (To quote the Witch, "Everything dies!") The degen is especially nice, but the hits themselves pack a wallop.

Loads of fun.

You can see the description from the gem, leave 50% fewer blades in the ground if you dont cast it yourself
And spellslinger is a trigger

he could improve the build by going dual wield wands and changing some of the supports since spellslinger has the generic spell tag OR if he invests more in cooldown then spellslinger may get better
but as it is now OP should at least remove slinger from blade blast and putting increased area for more overlapping in the explosions

but as a real budget build i approve

is taking Perfect Agony more damage ?
Why don't u take it?

The DoT is already very good -- and yes, making it even better would be great... it's just that I like the brute force feeling of the upfront damage with hits more than a stronger DoT. It's a preference thing :)
