So, I am building a whirl wind assassin using a chaos claw runeword and I could use some advice on how to setup my final build. Whirl wind is one skill I am not as familiar with as I should be. So, I thought I would post here and see what people would advise. Just to be clear I know some players are going to say build dual mosiacs instead. I did that build back in season 3 and I just want to do something different. I am aware that the dual mosiac pheonix strike is the current assassin meta, but I am going this way.
So currently I am running the following
Head: circlet (+2 assassin skills, 35 all res including um rune, 6% mana steal, 12 life)
Amulet: Mara +23 all res
Ring 1: 225 AR, 19 dex raven frost
ring 2: 9% life steal carrion wind
Treachry: mage plate
Gloves + belt: Sigon’s set
Boot’s: Natalias Boots +23 cold +1 lighting res
Weapon 1: Chaos Scissor Suwayyah
Weapon 2: +2 skills Plague Scissor Suwayyah
Swap: 2 +3 shadow skill assasin claws.
For my skills I am using 1 point in each skill in shadow trees, 1 point in each trap skill except wake of inferno and blade shield. This gives me 1 hard point in blade fury and death sentry for supplimental attacks when I need a ranged option. I have dragon talon for the teleport. Currently, I am running fade as the ias from treachry and my claws is at the max attack speed for whirlwind. The skills I have maxed out are venom, claw mastery, and dragon claw. Sometimes, I like having dragon claw as an option for tackling a single target and being able to proc the abilities on my weapons in melee.
So, that is where I am at, I have a torch, Anni, and a few + life and AR charms. I need some advice on how to round out the character. So, let me ask a few key questions.
Currently, my resists are maxed if I remove my gloves, belt, and boots. So, I need suggestions for those, it’s time to replace Sigon’s.
I can take or leave death sentry, but I do want to keep 1 hard point into blade fury. Should I let death sentry go?
Should I spend a point on blade shield and run it or not?
I do want to keep claw mastery, dragon claw and venom maxed. That leaves me enough skill points to max one more skill by level 90. Should I got with Fade for the physical resist, shadow master for the more powerful summon, or is there something else I should be focusing on?
I am wondering if I should swap my treachery out for a hustle armor? I don’t want to go to enigma as I already have dragon talon if I need to teleport to an opponent. I want to keep the increased IAS from one of them. But, I already have higher venom and fade than treachary procs. My resist don’t matter as I could make up the differences with a few small charms if needed. It’s the 65% move speed and level 11 evasion better than the +2 to assassin skills and the extra 5% off weapon IAS?
Any advise would be welcome thanks for take the time to read.
