[PC,PS4,Xbox] PoE 3.7 CoC Discharge Shadow Assassin Fast Build
Super fast build, extreme dps, great aoe and overall just satisfying as hell to play.
Quick Jump
Build Mechanics
To trigger Cast on Critical Strike you must first Attack and then IF you crit you will cast the linked spells (or the ones in Cospri's)
That means with Elemental Equilibrium, we hit with Cold Damage (negative fire/lightning res to enemies) and then Discharge (lightning/fire/cold damage, reseting to negative cold res) and then hit again. Flipping enemy resists for free damage!
We get Power Charges on every Crit with Voll's Protector. Voll's Devotion gives us Endurance Changes with each Discharge that consumes the Power Charges.
Skill Tree
Ascendancy: Unstable Infusion -> Deadly Infusion -> Ambush and Assassinate -> Opportunistic
Bandits: Every crit build takes Alira.
Pantheons
Major: Soul of the Brine King if without Kaoms Roots. Soul of Solaris if you have them.
Minor: Gruthkul for mapping Yugul for Uber Elder
