Cycle 7 and Beyond - Assassin Reap/Doom Build - ~6,5Billion DPS / ~30T Total Damage

[Cru11ix]

I thought i would share the fun new build i discovered through Trial & Error.

What you can except: Easy Build to Clear Overlord/Endless Mode 6 on highest Curse / Danger Level

Cycle 7 and higher is also possible, but you have to be careful of oneshots. The build may still need optimizations (maybe someone has an idea to improve it). Note the updates at the bottom for even more damage and faster clearing speed.


Runes:
Tenacity:
Critical Mastery
Focused Mind
Elemental Flow
Healing Flow (can be exchanged for more damage)

Versatility:
Reroll Mastery
Skill Mastery Shadow - Skeletal Mage
Rune 3 - what you want

Weapon - Edge of Doom

Skills (Limited to 3 because of Focused Mind)
Shadow Stab
Reap
Skeletal Mage

For the Passives:
You need to have the Temporary Assassin Buff all the time, so pay attention to the cooldown and grab some upgrades.
The second important part is to invest as much as possible in Doom Damage and Shadow Stab´s cast frequency (to get it to about 0.2Sec CoolDown).
The Block Power is also important to avoid as many oneshots as possible

Here is a screenshot of a Testrun (Unfortunately, the beam from Keythaiz killed me)

Update 1:
Switch Healing Flow with Focus Fire (more DMG^^).
Switch Skeletal Mage with Shadow Orb (for more Doom Stacks)
Use Weapon Expert Rune to get Reap Asap in Exchange for the Skill Mastery Shadow Skeletal Mage which we changed with Shadow Orb.
For the Third Rune i use Efficent Extraction (for Farming)

This Changes will get you to Cycle 7 in about 24Minutes. (Saved Time ~20Minutes)

I fiddeld with something similar today:

Took some inspiration from you with Focused Mind

Both worked pretty similar to your Build.
Maxing out the AssAssin Special ASAP and focusing on Doom.

My problem in general, IMO going beyond Loop5 becomes pointless and tedious,
since Enemy HP jumps from 12k Bonus in Loop5 to 52k in Loop6 and to 500k in Loop7.
At this point, Curse Intensity has barely any impact.

But Doom is way stronger than before.

[Cru11ix]

I think Loop6 is still ok (with regard to the clearing speed). And Yes your Build works very similiar, in the meantime i made some improvements (i will update the first post...)

Main Improvement is the better clearing speed ~24 Minutes to get to Cycle 7

I wonder if Elemental Flow does anything for Doom, since it only ticks after 5 seconds and deal instant damage, or it executes the target.

Good Point, i overlooked that. Most likely a other Rune will be better (I will still test this)

Can do > 1Qa damage, went loop 10 with it.
