Assassin is Actually Good Now Path of Exile, Patch 3.29

nickh4354: Me when I bifurcate with the homies

Pakyakkistan: "Have to take a look at this right side" as he indicates bottom left with his cursor

yaythereal: idk why they can't change the mark on hit node to also work for spells

Slagomancer: Seems like it should be pretty good for the CoC enjoyers

2:50 and to be even more hype about the Power Charge thing, it's specifically your MAX Power Charges, you don't even have to actually have the charges up to get those benefits.

raicoron3466: It's not quite "just lucky crit" because of the 30% less. I mapped out the impact of Mistic Infusion Bifurcate in a spreadsheet and it does some funny stuff. You're gaining about 4-6% chance to crit at most critical strike values when you click the node. This peaks at 44%~ crit where it increases your effective crit chance by 8%~ to 51.8% effective crit chance. At around 83% chance to crit it actually starts to go negative. This means that if you click the node while between 83-100% crit chance on your character sheet you're losing effective crit chance. It peaks at exactly 100%; Clicking the node brings your effective crit down to 91% chance. You have to get 43% more critical strike chance to overcome the 30% less and reach 143% crit chance to reach crit cap with mystic infusion.

Keep in mind this is just crit chance; it has nothing to do with damage. You gain damage at every value of crit chance and crit multi. You realistically will get about 15-30% more dps from the node on league start in cruel, and it will scale up from there as you get more crit on gear and tree. The hyperbolic diminishing returns allows you to reach those really big damage gain numbers really fast and realistically.

cloudthegod3452: Thank you for this dedicated video

hyzent: One thing missed for this if you have a Lucky Crit (eg. from dance with death) patch notes says: "If a modifier makes your Critical Strike Chance Lucky or Unlucky, that luck will apply individually to each of the critical strike chance rolls."

which means at 50% crit you already have 56.25% chance to deal Bifurcated crit damage

nr1771: Another important thing to note is that the Deathmarked increased mark effect and instant leech is based on your MAXIMUM power charges, not your current power charges. So even if you don't have your power charges up for some reason you still get the full benefit.

ManaCactus: poison spark still plenty strong

Taudlitz: assman is back

kiieeeenny: You can also run mark on hit sniper's mark and use that instead of assassin's mark as "enemies take increased damage" is probably going to be much more valuable than a bit of crit chance/crit multi. (you will always have sniper's mark applied after 1st hit)

SilentButDudley: I actually expected them to add this sort of crit scaling to Sabo in a way to replace their lucky crit node, but this is just better lol.

carbon0f1ce: Isnt bifuricated Crit capped at u?

steelsnake1493: Title implying that he was bad.

Which is criminally wrong.

nekonights8630: assassin is still ass except for CoC

the_born_again1350: "Since I still dont have a slogan, see you next time" makes me smirk/giggle everytime. I dont know why.

GMScorpio: Now just imagine if more spells got significant buffs

civi554: My old brain goes to HoWa Spectral throw ES insta leech from WAY BACK.

띵호와-z8u: 10sec before!

JangeoNomis: cospris coc cyclone ice nova assassin,how I've missed you

jumungus254: I have to say that this new asendency looks perfect for COC, i know they nerfed COC taking out the awskened one but instead we got cooldown recovery rate suport, you lose damage losing 1 gem socket but now with this huge dmg boost is not that bad, and regarding to less critical strike, only affects to the spells you hit not the attacks so you can proc the critical with an attack using for example cyclone

shodeb5564: It's always "when do you bifurcate?"

And never "how do you bifurcate?"

oopomopoo: Everyone talking about how losing -1 power charge on ring is a kill for the build and I'm just over here like, how many of yall actually afforded the 400d ring base? Lol. Build sorta has to work in order to farm 400d.

Off topic a bit but assassin does a bit of power charge

dddmemaybe: It's not 78% it's 80%. At 500% crit multi you increase damage on a Bifurcate by (500-100) 400, to 900%. 900/500 is 1.80. You don't the value between the two top-spots on the spreadsheet because any value over 100% "real" chance to crit after the penalty doesn't do anything. So 200% chance before penalty or 150% chance before penalty won't give more dps.

Bendickson300: If only I could brew up a flicker build as good on assassin as slayer, but Masterful Form is just too good.

dIggl3r: I don't undestand why its a "HUGE Spellslinger buff"

caneca4395: Holy refresh pull
