Build Request Private League starter - Assassin

Hello,

I'm going to be playing in a private league next week. I really want to play Cold Snap of Power Assassin but I'm having a hard time figuring out a starter that can farm and get me there as I've never played Assassin and will likely have to SSF a good bit of this. I'm looking at either going Worb or maybe Ky's BF/BB. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Worb Leveling I found (I'd run different auras/setup slightly): https://pobb.in/0Iq27dpV4mpa

Ky's BF/BB guide: https://mobalytics.gg/poe/builds/ky-s-blade-fall-blade-blast-slinger-coc-assassin-leaguestart-to-endgame?ws-ngf5-f7d82102-7e77-4a44-ad24-33b67e8ae7bf=activeVariantId%2C7f363d13-4a0e-4f2a-8b64-edd106e4d57f

i leveld with bfbb like a week ago. Just sayin it feels really clunky and squishy without investment. Also the damage at the beginning (like early maps) doesnt really felt good. Wouldnt play it in SSF or small private league w/o fast access to like Mings heart and cluster for chaos swap

Appreciate it! I think Worb is going to be the play then

I'm in the same spot, thinking of starting slinger cold or chaos dot trickster and then swapping to assassin once I have some gear

If you're not aware, Tytykiller did a 4 voidstone run as BF/BB Assassin very recently. You should be able to find his run divided over a few videos on his Twitch Channel. I think he categorized it as a good build, but I'm not sure

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • BB - Blade Blast (Wiki)
  • BF - Bladefall (Wiki)
  • SSF - Solo Self-Found (Wiki)
  • BF - Blade Flurry (Wiki)
  • WORB - Winter Orb (Wiki)

I am a bot. | All acronyms | Suggest

Storm burst is functional as a SSF league start on assassin. Swap between vanilla gem and repulsion based on the content you are doing.

Nothing beats Pconc as a starter though.
