[3.24] 🗡The Nightblade🗡Nightshade Tincture | Incorporeal | New demo video up

thanks for keeping this build upto date and posting updates!!!

Going to give this one a go starting tonight, frostblades has been fun as a starter for this ssf league but i can already see issues with boss dmg.

Is there much downside to going claws over daggers? Mainly because i am SSF and can use some of my current gear, also claw nodes just seem better (<3 soul raker). Also i found a Maligaro's Cruelty which will be a good neck to start/level with?

edit: Have you thought about running this as a scion? maybe assassin/champion?

Same question as Nivvyosaurus!

Is there a huge advantage of running Claws over Daggers? I really like daggers for esthetic reasons, but if claws are straight up better then I will convert myself!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one ;-) Visually, I don't like claws. An Assassin stabs with a dagger and has more dmg against enemies on full life.

I would prefer if you had a dodge bonus when your off-hand is empty, like with the White Wind. Then you get only one dagger to stab them all >:D (just posted the idea on Reddit)

Claws are better defensive-wise.
They can be faster : 1.6 base APS for the fastest claws (Imperial Claws), against 1.5 for the best daggers (Ambusher).
Also, claws offer better access to leech (thx you Soul Raker indeed) + life/mana gained on hit. With 10 APS, a pair of Imperial Claws gives you 460 life per sec !
As I've gone SSF for the first time, I've chosen claws to get better defenses, as I knew it would be harder to get a good life pool.
Plus, in trade leagues, claws are generally cheaper.

Daggers are better DPS-wise, as they give more crit chance/multi. So I'll always prefer daggers ;)

Yes, Frost Blades lack dmg against single target. Try Cobra Lash for league start, I think it's better for bosses.
Maligaro's Cruelty is good for us.

I got a Scion char and I don't know what to do with her, so I may try. Some sort of Nightblade spin-off ;-) Actually, I have some video drafts with Valeera Sanguinar from WoW, as I was searching the Blade Flurry skill in other video games.

Thanks that was my guess.

Do you have a conclusion on General's Cry already? It looks cool, but is it more DPS than your usual set up?

As for DPS, not a lot more IMO. But it's a nice QoL : your Mirage Warriors can finish off packs and they can continue to dmg enemies while you dodge. So it makes clear safer. And it's not bad against bosses, when all your clones blast it together.

Don't you need a corpse to spawn them? How does it work vs solo bosses?

I'm using Desecrate. I pop it twice at the beginning of the fight.
The good thing is that the Mirage Warriors do not consume the corpses, so you don't need to spam Desecrate all the time.

@ForgedPoE : since you were asking about solo bosses, I've edited a video where I'm using Desecrate to get corpses for the Mirage Warriors.
I was only level 81 atm and my General's Cry + BF setup was on a 3L.

First, some farming and then Baran :

#6 : Shadow of the Demon

Next video will be about Paradoxica and the Saviour ;)

Hi Exiles,

someone suggested a variant of the build as an Assassin/Champion ascendant. Another follower talked about an alternative Paradoxica/Saviour setup.

So I've mixed all these elements into one character, added some inspiration from Valeera Sanguinar of WoW... and here is the result :

The Sanguinar Scion



With two Mirages of Reflection and five from General's Cry, she is ready to kick ass with her 8 Blade Flurries !

Demo video in T16 Belfry :
#1 : BF To The Death !

(made with beta version of the build, level 88)

PoB level 91 : https://pastebin.com/DQmyevyH

Gl & hf :)

How's the AI doing? When the Saviour got released in 3.9, a lot of people reported bugs with the AI when using Blade Flurry. They would channel in place doing basically nothing.
