Brassassin

Hi everyone,
After putting together a high speed brawler gearset, i thought I'd try it with a unique fun build, using Backstab (or Assassin Stab from Assassin skill tree) for main damage skill. Here's a short preview while i'm still leveling it up :

 

Fun fact: @250 Agi, Chariot skill (t4 martial) has the same skill multiplier, x15, compared to the max potential of Assassin Stab (i.e. stabbing from behind, lvl 10 backstep pre-buff and lvl 10 foresight passive).

The only difference is Assassin Stab has 300 skill constant which is less than Chariot, with 500 skill constant, although Chariot has additional damage scaling linked with AGI stat (from 250+). Here's hoping the next 215 Assassin skills will unlock a new multiplier to Backstab in order to keep up with (or even go higher than) Chariot!

 

Just notice you got so many pupil set....chariot gain additional benefit from martial skill (+10%). So......just hope new assassin skill is like if second back-stab hit same as first backstab(rear,front or back), this skill amplifier +10 and constant +1000 !!!!!!

 

True, forgot about Martial Discipline... but yeah, lets hope something will come up in 215 to really shake up the current meta

 

Progress update :


Thoughts:

• That lower atk power (because knux main) is a bit of a concern, especially when levelling primarily at ULT bosses
• Assassins should never solo
• High dodge sucks. i suspect boss auto attacks have a base chance to crit as well so you can't dodge everything

In terms of next skills, bit unsure what to take next:

1. Impact?
2. Gatling knife?
3. Evasion boosts (guard passives + reflex?)
4. Atk boosts (max warcry+rest of battle skills)
5. Wait and see

Opinions?

 

1 question, why 6th stat is empty?
actually you can set Stun>Arcane(save), this allow you to stun mob and immediately move to behind and launch backstab, at least guarantee dealt damage for every 30 second on most of the boss.

Warcry should be better, Your build have less chance to launch DPS on mob ( because hard to get behind them ), so it’s better to have damage boost like warcry and Kairiki before release backstep.

evasion is better for solo build because it’s won’t affect by boss accuracy.

 

6th Stat? I guess i haven't taken selected CRT/MTL/LUK/TEC on the char yet?
Stun>Arcane is a handy combo which I used in earlier levels. Worked great when i had Assassin Stab on shortcut (no smite), but less useful when i'm using backstep>Assassin stab(smite) combo...
Thanks I think warcry is a good buff to max next.
I also think i'll put a hold on soloing now haha. Low aggro is wasted on solo runs like that, but it was an interesting trial run.
Wondering also whether Toy Guns would do more damage than t4 agi/aspd knux here, but i don't have it refined/pierced to compare and am too lazy to work on it LOL

 

Ya, I mean the CR stat, saw some other YouTube also left it empty, is it have any special purpose?

Toy Gun still good on against the High Def mob, and because it’s have ElementAdvantageToNeutral mob, also the base damage is higher than Piton, so better keep one especially against the neutral mob.

 

The special purpose is to leave it unselected in case i reset this char and have a specific use for it later

But im still confused why you are asking. Am i missing something really key about it?

 

Because without select CR stat you won’t get +25 base critical right? In this case you have to utilize few xtal slot /gear / food just to cover that 25 critical stat.

And for the orb item to reset 6th stat, I have about 5 book still resting in my special storage, and no chance to use it.

 

That +25 base is regardless of what special stat u have , it’s coded into each player

 

So mean if I’m using TEC255, I will still have Base Critical + 25?

 

Yes.

Base crit is 25.

CRT stat at 255 adds 75 to round up to 100 base crit.

 

O

oic, so if I using curios dress that increase 100% CR, with TEC stat I also can have CR+50, right?

 

Yep. It worked nicely when making an MTL DPS tonfa build before

 

wait u cap 200 this one interest build

 

New vid

 

Update: Lvl 190 now

Leveling at Venena Ult, had to switch to Toy Guns (for the 50% p. pierce) which dropped my aspd to 7k (8k after Quick Aura buff). Biggest problem at Venena is that she can't be backstabbed which is a bit RIP for my build. Therefore for alternative DPS i added max Arcane Strike but refilling up 2k MP each time without Decoy is also a bit RIP too

Anyways, with Toy Gun (2s+s), brave aura, warcry, kairiki ranshin, good proration and whack proc, these were my HIGHEST hits at Ven ULT as a "Brassassin":
Backstab: 400k (on pillar, impact DPS combo)
Arcane: 860k (on Venena, at 2k mp + kairiki opener combo)
[on average though, normally its around 250k & 500k respectively on ult difficulty]

Not bad... but can't wait to see how the damage will improve after Assassin Stab gets its next damage boost after T4 Assassin skills are released (lvl cap 215)

 

Save some SP for annihilation, as Suzuki say it’s should give [more] damage.

 

Ooh that's a good point. Another reason to look forward to crusher . I really hope it's release stays on schedule...
