[3.8] The Spider Thief (100% reduced visibility) Immortal Build

Reduced Visibility
With 100% reduced visibility, monsters do not attack you.

To obtain 100% reduced visibility, you need to use 2/3 things:

1) Phase run. This provides 50%

2) Aspect of the Cat (Cat's Stealth). This provides 50%

3) Shade form (from Shroud of the Lightless). This provides 50% as well as 100% physical damage immunity.

With any two of these abilities activated at the same time, you will reach 100% and will not be attacked by monsters/bosses.

**Please Note*** Shade form starts off on CD for 45 seconds when you enter a new area. This cannot be reduced. During this time, you must rely on Cat's Stealth.


Duration
In order to make each buff last a long time, we need to use Shackles of the Wretched Gloves with curse on hit and temporal chains. This, combined with 128% increased curse effect, will make all buffs/debuffs last 4 times as long. However, we dont want to be slow as fuck, so we use Koam's Roots to bypass the movement speed penalty.

You can get:
40% curse effect from the tree
25% from occultist ascendancy
11% from quality curse on hit
30% from temporal chains helm enchant
3%-100% from Glorious Vanity Timeless Jewel
***and, optionally, you can use Coward's Legacy for 50% effect on YOU***

In addition to these items, the build stacks "increased Duration" on the tree and from items. Shade form's 3 second duration can be turned into 10+ seconds, which is then multiplied by the temp chains slow, lasting 40 seconds or more depending on your gear.

I use a Glorious Vanity Jewel with 33% curse effect and about 23% inc duration.


Aspect of the Cat

This aspect has two parts:
1) Cat's Stealth, which has a base of 4 seconds and gives -50% visibility

2) Cat's Agility, which has a base of 6 seconds and is useless.

If we have two weapon swap shields with Aspect of the cat crafted on them, we can have a very interesting interaction that allows you to reduce the duration of Agility by a lot, and increase the duration of Stealth by a lot.

On one weapon swap setup (lets call this "SETUP A"), you support Aspect of the cat with Increased duration.

On the other setup (lets call this "SETUP B", you support aspect of the cat with less duration and swift affliction.

Whatever setup you have when the buff switches on, that one will last for the duration of it.

So, before agility pops up (at the end of Stealth's duration), make sure you have the less duration (SETUP B) active.

Before Cat's stealth pops up, make sure you have the increased Duration (SETUP A) active.

If you are wondering why I use a shield and not a 1-hand weapon with minion damage and Cat aspect, it is because I use tempest shield (fastest casting spell in the game) to activate shade form within a short window of time.


Class Ascendancy:
It's a bit complicated, but both the necromancer and the occultist are viable.


If you dont have access to a good curse effect timeless jewel, I suggest the necromancer (which has 40% skill duration and 20% minion speed).
By getting all the curse effect on the tree and using Coward's legacy, you can still make Shade Form last about 40 seconds. It has a 45 second cooldown, so this means you have to coordinate Cat's stealth constantly, making sure to weapon swap to get the right duration and overlap the 5 second CD of shade form.

If you can get a timeless Jewel with 23-36% curse effect and some duration, I suggest using occultist and losing Coward's Legacy to use a belt with 20% CD recovery. By doing this, you can make Shade Form last about 40 seconds with a CD of 37.5 seconds (100% uptime except the beginning of the map). Occultist is also great for exploding packs of monsters with Profane Bloom.



Spiders

Arakaali's fang is simple to use. when you kill an enemy, it will cast the raise spider skill and summon 2 spiders for each nearby corpse for a maximum of 20.

Simply pop a worm flask, use desecrate to create 10 corpses or more, then kill the worm. Voila, you have 20 spiders.

Jewels: Life, resists, minion damage
Glorious Vanity (curse effect, skill effect duration)


Optional item:
for the curse effect.
