Attack speed, Light leech, +1 curse

Aevaris, you have almost no life and very little ES on gear. You desperately need a high ES shield, and life rolls where you can if you're hybrid (assuming you are, since RF slotted). You can get 500+ ES on shield, which would be another 2000 or so ES to your pool. Something with 350+ and spell crit is very affordable. Shield is not a smart slot to balance your resists. Try getting 150+ ES gloves to cover your resists and a high ES/spell crit shield, and you should be a lot tankier.

Also, your weapon is pretty bad. Scour the spell damage and mod crit chance, or just buy a new vagan's and start over. You're losing ~20% of your crits just by not having that.

IMO CI is easier than hybrid, since you need a lot fewer stats on gear. No need to worry about hp or chaos res. If you go this route, a good budget goal is ~6k ES, IMO. I'm sitting at about that and don't die in tier 5 or 6 maps, but haven't tried higher. You lose the RF if you go CI, but you're already not tanky enough to use it anyways, so hardly a loss.

Assassin perks don't look great for this build.

Full life effect ruined by vortex.
Low life effect is negligible, the enemy was going to die soon anyways.
Power charge on non-crit is worthless b/c vortex.
DoT stuff is worthless
Bleeding/poison/maim? sounds worth little.

So the only good one is crit multiplier per power charge + base crit chance.

Templar inquisitor and Witch Elementalist look good for this build, though. Trickster, though, to answer your question.

Got a few new Upgrades, stats are now:

8200 ES
3.83 APS
92.2% crit Chance on Discharge
93.5% crit Chance on Cyclone
63% increased Item Rarity
43,000 Discharge Damage

Cyclone Mana Cost: 4

So scion Or shadow build ??

Scion for Aspeed and posibility of multicrit nods at the beggining.
Shadow for some ele damage boost at the beggining

I'd say Scion is the best.

Nice build.

Any tips how to kill trio on atziri? I don't have problem with duo, when i killed trio i didn't have problem with atziri, but trio kill me almost in every run. I got 1838 life (after clarity) and 3318 es (with discipline) My resists are 74%, 79%, 83% and chaos -30%.

also, which shield is better in ur opinion?



with spirit shield i have 1000 es more, but Saffel's have block chance applied to spells.

I respectfully disagree. Inquisitor as well as elementalist are really not that outstanding in terms of utility AND damage. The crit multi of the assasin does probably more damage than all damage nodes from I or E ... and the base crit with 7 power charges up is also quite high (I'd even say that they gonna "nerf" those numbers prerelease because they seem really strong). Trickster is a viable option if you wanna focuse on more defensive perks.

There's btw a change coming to the increased critical strikes gem to adress the issue with controlled destruction. That might also change a few things.

The real question is whether all this crit and crit multi from assasin is even needed. It is pretty easy to reach a very high crit chance and its also quite easy to scale crit multi as well (for example with facebreaker). Thats the reason why I would choose the trickster. It gives you a lot of defensive properties. 250 ES with Shade forms and Swift killer +1 frenzy are ridiculous. Drop EE and squeeze a second curse like elemental weakness into the build and its gonna be equally strong in terms of damage but with way more survivability.
