Hi i'd like to test the build on my assassin, but i have a question : does the build work with a 45% TC enchantment instead of 30% ?

Hey Wretched guys!

Leaving a Tri-curse version for who wants to try it. I've decided to change the original 1 Because I like more unique builds. So the core is the same as the original but added 2 more curses that works pretty fine.
This version is more expensive but i think it gains more defences and leech.

What curses we use?

1- Temp chains (obvious)
2- Enfeble on hit (corrupted shackles of the wretched)
3- Warlords Mark (elder ring)

I made some more changes except the tri-curse:
- Replaced Malachai's Artifice for Mark of the Shaper ring Because we using elder ring in the other slot and it adds a lot of dps.
- Replaced normal ring for Elder with Warlord's Mark.
- Replaced a normal amulet for a Shaped Amulet with better dps stats.
- Try to use a Helm based Armour, we use determination so escaling armour we will get more %phys mitigation.
- Get a Watcher's eye with +500-950 armour paired with immune to vulnerability while determination (it's not expensive and it give you almost 1.5-2k amour, about 8-10% phys reduction).
- Replaced Atziri's Promise for Wise Oak. We run warlod's mark and leech is covered, wise oak give us more dps and if you can balance your resistances we have 10% more elemental reduction.
- We can use to boots more our phys reduction adding a Quicksilver flask with duration + 100% increased armour.


You can play it with diferents setups:

1st(budget): Amulet +1 curse and Whispers of Doom on the tree.
There is plenty of +1 curse amulet with not bad stats between 20-70 chaos, just pick 1 that fills resistances, some life and crit multi.

2nd(more expensive): Body armor crafted +1 curse (3 ex) and Whispers of Doom (this was my choise).

Decided to go with this setup because amulets give too much dps and if we play with the corrupted +1 curse it's really hard to get a good 1 with good dps stats for under 5 ex.

3rd(mix): If u don't like the idea to go for Whispers of Doom in the tree, you can always play with +1 amulet and armor crafted +1 curses.

Pros:
- More survability thanks to enfeble + 3 endurance charges.
- We got a lot more phys dmg reduction (armor on watcher's eye, helmet armor based and flask). I have 45% phys reduction + enfeble.
- Issues from leech solved thank's to warlord's mark. When you run out of charges from Atziri's Promise on hard bosses you are fucked :P
- You can play differents setups so it's flexible.
- You can play it dual-curse if you preffer, just pick a ring with warlord's mark and +1 curses werever you want (amulet, chest or tree)
- Damage it's almost the same.
- You can play with Atziri's Promise if you prefer instead of Wise Oak.

Cons:
- We lost some HP because we have to cut most of the extra life nodes to get the Extra curse from tree. (you can always play it with +1 curse on chest and amulet if you don't like the idea of loosing hp).
- We lose our golem and his debuff.
- Maybe harder to balance our dext and resistances for a budged price.

I don't know how to do all the fancy picture pasting, etc. I have included my POB, though.

My problem is this: I can't keep it up. As a man that's hard to admit. Is duration related to gem level? At best I can get 8-10 seconds of Winter Orb before I have to refresh. and by that point it's down to 4 or 5 stacks.

There's also a major damage discrepancy I can't figure out between the builder's link and my build.
