Path Of Exile Cobra Lash Single Target Demonstration V.S. End-Game (PoE 2019)

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Hey guys! If you enjoy fantasy, check out the Wheel of Time series. I listen to these while I farm in Path of Exile, its amazing! You can get the audiobook for free via my link: bit.ly/LNBs-Escapism-WoT 🎧 Anyone else who has read these books? I am currently in book 6 and absolutely loving it!

[@Zolaf77]

I think we need a build guide!

[@vijayraj3016]

I've finished the series and it's amazing

[@thedanswartz]

ha! That's exactly what I am doing before I even watched this :D

[@StygianStyle]

Elric Saga by Michael Moorcock. The Chronicles of Corum is good also.

[@salihninja]

Look at this madman doing bosses at like 90% exp. WHY NOT LEVEL FIRST UR MAKING ME NERVOUS EXILE.

[@antaresmaelstrom5365]

You know you've traded too much when at 3:44 you hear the whisper sound and instantly pause the video and try to maximize poe only to realize that the sound was IN the video.

[@volibjørn5697]

haha did the same thing :D

[@shanepote]

From a photographer, I admire your camera quality, lighting and set up and the colour grading 👌😍 oh an audio

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Thanks Shane, I have worked a great deal to figure out the "correct" details, although I must admit I am still struggling to find some proper lighting for the rest of my room. It would be amazing to fully illuminate it without it being too intrusive and unpleasant to sit and relax in. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

[@shanepote]

@@LiftingNerdBro Mmmm! I love the lighting you have and the darker backround less intrusive to the eye and distracting from the video but still nice. But maybe you can get led strips around the edges of the rooms roof? That is if you just trying to have the whole room brighter. Or like 2 Godox Led light panels if you want to just have more fill light from the 2 sides of your front.

[@HonkGoldfisz]

I have dropped herald of agony and I used Fenumus' Weave with aspect of spider instead. Works really well as well.

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Yea that's a good approach too

[@liauyuancheng]

I think playing Cobra Lash is a more involved playstyle as you want to use Withering Steps to inflict Wither on as many enemies as possible and to use the skill as often as possible to continuously keep the buff effect of Elusive high for fast movement speed and dodge chance

[@razvannorth]

This is how you do a build guide. Thank you Kristian!

[@thedevilspunch]

Just found this video & ty so much. I was following Mathil's guide on this & feeling underwhelmed at level 45. This helped a lot!

[@beatsbybrandon902]

Really? I've been following mathils build and I'm up to 84 without much issues

[@thedevilspunch]

@@beatsbybrandon902 well I was still pretty early in the build. I've actually continued following Mathil's build & I just needed a bit of patience. Not my strong suit... Do ya I would totally agree with you looking back now.

[@ashfynninegold3527]

I played it a bit early game and thought it pretty darn good. But since I was going for Windz' ice and fire miner you covered in your last video, I eventually gave it up. Interested in trying it for real, so thanks for the build.

[@sneakypeaky769]

Can u make a full build guide over this build ? Takker ❤️

[@JoyzerDk]

13:37 - I see what you did there Kristian ;)

[@kiero1236]

Just seen this video. 3.11 starts on ps4 tomorrow. I will be playing cobra lash. Great video. Liked and sub'd. =D

[@joaoduarte6444]

Please will make a step by step video of this build, as you did Ice shot

[@jessefunk]

What are some good Pantheon options for this build?

[@FalleNDragonn]

2x Wasp Nest, 6L eva chest, Fenumu gloves and all rares...and u can do all game :) did all with GMP on btw! 4L HoA, Precision and Spider auras

[@targetthyself]

As someone who did this. Unless you roll Pathfinder, don't use Wasp Nest, it will feel like shit. Bino's heal and prolif is just so much better, get yourself at least 1 of them and a decent dagger in your off-hand. Your clear will be night and day.

[@FalleNDragonn]

@@targetthyself nah, my tree was set for claws and i tryed to play budget as possible, and did it! payed 2ex for gloves and thats all ^^ will try Bino version to do blighted maps t10+ and see how good it is !

[@wanzycar]

@@targetthyself there's heal for bino??

[@hakanozkan3391]

well, done deathless uber elder with it. So, i think it is a fine skill. And i didnt even have the totem and movement skill setup. Just auras and 6l and withering step was fine.

[@jetlee88]

ty for this amazing video nice work here :)

[@Yahula1edits]

Great Video!

[@k0piblack89]

Affordable build! Thank you!

[@BloodFangRogue1]

Could you go over your final setup for cobra lash assassin? I'm lvl 88 with decent gear but a bit squishy. If I get more tanky I end up losing alot of damage, so I'm curious what your setup is

[@acefire4080]

What is your item filter?

[@draak88]

I play SSF cobra lash assassin and i love it. I dont know who says that it sucks, but Uber Elder just melts and i dont need more than that.

[@stevesutton1052]

I think it's fine for clearing but next to venom gyre I'm not sure why you wouldn't use that with a little piercing especially with the whirling blades

[@stevesutton1052]

I've used both and cant tell much between the damage but I think venom gyre just feels nicer

[@stoobystoobydoo]

So i have the knives and the body armor. I waited until it scaled at end game and my damage is no where near what yours is. Am i doing something wrong? I fallowed the tree as well

[@jonnyjazzz]

Not my type of playstyle (I play Crit builds with Screen Shake on \O/ ), but I enjoyed listening to your commentary while you play!

[@drsheldoncooper2951]

can someone please tell me why poinst after Acrobatics haven't taken?

[@wanzycar]

Most ppl find that it's too expensive to invest 4 pts just to take phase acrobatics, especially when it's pretty much rng when you get hit and since you're in softcore dying is not much as issue. Those 4 pts probably benefit more from putting in damage nods or just life nodes.

[@Cbge_Monkey]

What is in the 6link with cobra lash?

[@Ventus_S]

I have similar build this league (my league starter too), claw version. It just doesn't feel that good if not using Bino This build is pretty much lock with Bino because any other variation feels meh in terms of clear speed (especially against real large packs in blight, Legion, and so on) Locking in Bino prob is not that big of the problem, but it limits its bossing viability in the long run. I ended up going Pestilent Strike as a claw poison assassin since it feels way smoother if not using Bino And then I created another sin which is my favourite build from 3.5 CoC Ice Nova Cyclone and never look back :> (Better clear, way better bossing, insane tankiness, chill/freeze/shatter everything)

[@aerialzdayo5869]

dude, im doing exactly the same like you. first claws, switched to bino's and its starting to get boring. CoC Ice Nova assassin is staring at me and wants me to give it a try.

[@Tigui994]

What is the malédiction at 2m30

[@Jamela579]

did you try Arakaalis Fang with it ?

[@LungZ762]

It's a great time. Those spiders are op with the new skill gems.

[@Elemental_TM]

cobra lash was my starter this league. if it doesn't get nerfed it will be my starter next league as well.

[@wanzycar]

I agree it's a very good build as league starter.

[@nilelder916]

LNB h do you think what is the best uberlab 4th point from ascendancy for that build and why?

[@nilelder916]

CritMult version ofc.

[@LiftingNerdBro]

@@nilelder916 I am not sure I understand, which points have you picked already? =)

[@nilelder916]

@@LiftingNerdBro I mean elusive + full poison is the core, bro

[@LiftingNerdBro]

@@nilelder916 In that case, it will depend on whether or not you can reliably generate power charges without Unstable Infusion. If you can go for Opportunistic, if not stick to Unstable Infusion =)

[@nilelder916]

@@LiftingNerdBro 4-5 pow charges are so worthed? It's my 1st poison build and I'm running on ssf. Found an agony flask finaly and now have to make the decision. My PoB said that PowCh are weaker for dps at total. Opportunist seems more flex and basically have 20% more dmg + some def. But I can't feel how more critical chance influence for poison dps tho.

[@alamataus]

would cobra lash work with totems?

[@xpoohx105]

Hey Lifting I love your videos. If I could throw you a suggestion on video production. Screen shake can cause certain people to get motion sickness. As one of these people I felt like I should let you know that it makes videos very hard to watch. Great content as always but you might consider turning screen shake off while recording.

[@Zalixor]

Thoughts about Bino's prolif vs Claw damage?

[@LiftingNerdBro]

The proliferation of Bino's just makes it feel so much more smooth and when using Perfect Agony or the Coralito's flask, the multiplier from dagger nodes simply makes them better in my opinion. The best quality of claws is the life gain on hit they provide, which to be fair is rather substantial.

[@wanzycar]

I would say daggers/bino best for mapping and claws are better for bossing like UE.

[@GamingStar-ob2ut]

does this build still work with end game mate?

[@AbsolutelyCasual]

You should make a build guide

[@idfwudown]

Can u do a superfast uberlab carry build ? (Budget)

[@Bolaway]

Made this build yesterday and now at Level 61 the bosses can't beat me hahhaha Of course, this is my second char and I could buy 6l and weapons so easily, which makes me enjoy the mid game

[@lucasbortoluzzi9369]

poison build can't lack of dmg in single target it's made to scale up, the slower you kill the more it does dmg so it's probably one of the best way to deal good dmg with not that good gear, i think where it sucks is once min maxed and compared to other builds that end up instant killing/phasing everything in the game. if the game was slower paced like many other arpg where boss fights are actually very long poison would be the opest thing in the game. i think that poison is pretty bad vs blight as you you are crowded by enemies that might reach the bulb before the dmg goes off forcing you to ramp a lot more dmg than necessary wasting a lot of time with aboutthe same dmg an upfront dmg build might deal with it way better imo (outside of bosses which get perma locked by freeze towers tho who cares)

[@HarryCaneNo1]

Found a Kaoms Heart and a Balefire last week, so I'm gonna go and try for a RF Scorching Ray Quisitor, my PoB gives me about 690k fire DoT, maybe you can try that as well :) Other build I wanna try is Charged Dash Trickster with max Frenzy charges. Also found a CotB for free shatters yippieeeeh!

[@wanzycar]

Was this on a claw or dagger variant? I love the clear speed of dagger but I do struggle at times with health sustain cos we have low life leech capability (and lack of LGOH unlike claws)

[@kaydenvortex1984]

SRS build?

[@topanteon]

Blade Flurry's added damage effectiveness is 45%. Cobra Lash effectiveness is 120%. I'm thinking fuck poison, play CL as pure physical Assassin or something.

[@elfolomoment]

can you do a build guide for your slicc hair

1. Get a trimmer --> short on sides --> long on top --> work on the fade and done!

Is not that cobra leash is bad, but wirh summoner u do everything other build does, with one hand behind your back while you drink some coffe.

[@gaborvass5584]

I failed uber elder on cobra lash assassin, as you gotta be on the move constantly, cant just stay and stack poison up also wither totem dies immediately on uber. Anywhere else, damage is okay.

[@LiftingNerdBro]

I actually decided against using the withering totem. I found it more intuitive to use the Withering Step to apply (although less) stacks of wither and instead use the Ancestral Protector for the attack speed bonus. Not that there is anything wrong with your approach, just a personal preference of mine. A thing to note is that I have the uber lab enchant that grants "Withering Step inflicts 3 additional Withered Debuffs" so that obviously lends more value to the skill too.

[@tecuanita8812]

i prefer to use phantasmal blades in Grim Dawn

wait, so cobra lash is not crashing the game anymore?

[@bradjenkins2861]

Since you seemingly like running uberlab and like easily destroying all content I suggest Jugg baron zombie build. It's stupid strong.

[@LiftingNerdBro]

Isn't it hard avoiding the zombies killing off stuff that potentially limits the number of keys Izaro drops?

[@bradjenkins2861]

@@LiftingNerdBro Depends if you are going for full key runs, I suppose it would be tough to convocation at the right times. maybe could switch to meat shield and lure izaro away and shield charge him. I forgot about deathmark. You could sub that in for feeding frenzy when you get to izaro to point the zombies directly to him.

[@erkanKocaemin]

hey dont you think viper strike will do better sith same gear... All you have to do is recolor your chest and pick up Viper strike treshhold jewel who stack poisons.

[@SuperNeospace]

womp womp, im using a similar build but im lacking the binos and a six link. Ssf is killing me /;

[@SuperNeospace]

@Dem Wood Best I have so far is 5 link and 2 taproots lol. Im glad its going better for you though. Ive fucked uo my tree Ive farmed like 80 regrets total lmao since ive switched from dagger to claw and back like 3 times because I get new uniques lmao and i feel super squishy. Im only on yellow maps so I dont think im gonna be there for a while but im you know im making progress this is the farthest ive gotten.

[@SCHTRAM]

As someone that has run cobralash assassin like this, the damage is good but it's not impressive. And the gemswap is fucking annoying. I honestly think a venomgyre build is superior with fenumus weave etc. (or asenaths).

nice
