[@antarus6338]

Same

[@Futureal81]

Nice, its a very cool build! Hope it works out for you!

[@ProvaBeK]

Chain lightning traps for early arcane sanctuary and cow farming here

[@aarond3987]

Thanks for the videos keep it up! Definitely enjoy your content

[@Futureal81]

Thanks!

[@arunoaj]

This is what I've been waiting for

[@RodanQQ]

1 of 3 for me.

[@Futureal81]

Enjoy!

[@madeinresitasometimeago3970]

That Phoenix Strike assassin is a beast.

[@Futureal81]

It was a very fun build, i hope someone will try it.

[@mathieulefebvre7812]

Did you try mind blast this season

[@Futureal81]

It was okey, nothing special

[@mathieulefebvre7812]

Quick question im sc should i still use a shield or dual bartucs for pheonix strike

[@Futureal81]

I like bartuc + plague

[@krispe2512]

Why not Kira's helm and arkhaine Valor/steel Carapace for armor on Pheonix build?

[@Futureal81]

hardcore, its in the title

[@krispe2512]

@@Futureal81 can you give more explanation as to why it's better. Like a higher FHR or blockrate break point or more defense or something

[@Futureal81]

@@krispe2512 Crown of ages has damage reduction, fhr, curse reduction and all res. For any melee hardcore character, its basicly mandatory, unless you chose to play with shaftstop. The armor is more debatable. i did get steel carpace suggested, although i wasnt convinced by it. as a quick fix a glad bane is pretty good, tons of flat absorb and cbf.

[@emileledragon3741]

What would be a mid game build for pheonix strike ? Atm I'm using full nat with a stormshield !

[@Futureal81]

Probably getting bartuc and plague. balance the character out with attack speed, resistances and +skills

[@rastakhan6635]

With kicksin you should take a bit more complicated route,swapping stormshield for phoenix. I know it sucks,but with stormshield,she is not nearly as effective as she is with phoenix. Both ed and - fire res count toward dragon tail dmg. You should make phoenix in aegis and pair it with steelshade to reach maxblock that way. Weapon is runic talon with 2-3 Lo runes to cap ds depending on whether you choose ds / pdr corruption on one of your items. Armor is fortitude. Belt string of ears. Boots shadowdancers,for that juicy dex and also fhr. Gloves hellmouth. For amulet you go rising sun. Rings are raven paired with wisp,bk set ring or dual leech ring with str res and other godly stats. For charms you should stack max dmg ar life gcs as long as your res is deep capped,to reach it feel free to use 15 all res gcs with life res scs. Leave space for torch and anni obv. For merc you go a2 defiance with Pride,coa,forty/pdr armor,gores,string,loh,considering you reach ias cap and get decent pdr with corr/sockets on him. As far as your corruptions go,make sure you reach pdr cap or atlest 45 +. Also you go BoS instead of fade for ias/ runwalk. For playstyle u utilize cloak of shadows off cd. Its not only much safer,since its soothes entire screen and gives you time to predict danger and your next move,you also utilize off -%def debuff wich is applied to ur ar calc when kicking. All in all,your build is fine,just wanted to point out there are wide variety of ways to go when it comes to kicking. Thank You for video and content,its amazing as always :) cheers!

[@avesatanaz5490]

I cant see "how" and when you cast spells on right side im new and nub and tryingto copy 2nd build !

[@ScissorFeet]

I'm kind of stuck leveling as kicker. I just got to hell mode. Is there a better build to level as?

[@Futureal81]

Absolutely, both trap builds are solid to get going. You can use that to play through the game and farm cows for instance, until you have good enough gear to go back to kick. Kick is decent if you have some gear on it.

[@slowpnir]

Wait a sec, how do Facets work with traps (which are summons)?

[@scottb3233]

+elemental dmg % works, -enemy res % does not

[@Futureal81]

Usualy its no worth facetting for traps any more.

[@krispe2512]

No blade fury or cobra strike? I'm not sure if I should go PS or CS

[@lewmano7367]

First! Keep em coming!

[@Futureal81]

Trying my best!

[@RanaGustico]

Venom claws should apply to each kick so why not max it too? Great content btw

[@Futureal81]

the psn damage isnt strong enough for it to be worth in my opinion

[@s0rastardf343]

pog

[@Futureal81]

Pog!

[@slowpnir]

Where z muh Mind Blast? D:

[@Futureal81]

Mind blast is still fine. just dont have time to check every build.

[@krispe2512]

And it fades off hard end game

[@lqgash9077]

The Plague on Phonix assas is not as effective. If you'll notice, the low res rarely procced. By the time it would proc, stuff is already dead :) .Much better going for a dual-Bartuc.

[@Futureal81]

Its only needed if you come across double immunities. Plague isnt just for the lower ress, maybe more importantly, it has cleansing aura. What would double bartuc do? you only hit with 1 weapon anyway.

[@lqgash9077]

@@Futureal81 I would normally always go for shield for that reason, but if I were to put a second claw, wouldn't be Plague, especially not for the lower res. If you need utility for off- hand, probably consider Stalker's for the reduced dflight cooldown. Bartuc - you can get corruptions on it - 1 skill, 3 os with facets, etc.- much bigger dmg than plague, which will proc lr maybe 2-3 times per map.

[@tsujin3122]

@@lqgash9077 sounds like SC shit to me. in HC a melee range build like this having 100% curse reduction is non-negotiable.

[@lqgash9077]

@@tsujin3122 if you play dual-claw, maybe, but I had a HC dual-claw assasin with dual-bartuc and was never in danger while solo. If you do p8 maps Storshield is mandatory. HC - you have 75% block with storm, 50%DR from storm, dungo and merc + adds from armor+ ridiculously good defence... you don't need to itemize for curse reduction on PS assassin imo, it's a waste of slots and skills.

[@PaRaNoYaization]

Patch Notes for every season in PD2 sounds like everything was nerfed, enjoy

[@Mrsobotkaa]

why do americanys say : Sin Sorc Dru and europeans :Assa Soso Dudu Baba :P

[@Futureal81]

Not in my experience, ive never said soso or dudu

[@Mrsobotkaa]

@@Futureal81 oh okay ;) I thought you were from America

[@zachb8012]

I have literally never played Assassin in 20 years of playing this dumb game. It just seems like a ding dong class for weebs. I might just try phoenix strike though. If only because it looks like a dog ate a bunch of christmas lights and diarrhea shat them onto the screen. Kick just sounds too stupid though, I don't care how good it is.

[@Futureal81]

Maybe you should just go back to fortnite. This is too complex for you.

[@RanaGustico]

Try kick and proc things and you tell me about fun.
