Assassin's Permanent Vanish

[Kvyy]

It's currently too easy for assassin to get her defensive equal to or below the cooldown reset of knife trick. This lets you spend less than a tenth of a second visible, allowing you to do silly things like live outside the intended battle area.
Things only get worse when you factor in items: Reaper cloak? 300 damage added to knife trick. Smoke shield? Knife trick no longer breaks vanish, you cannot die.

This is coming from someone who used her to solo lunatic who has no business even attempting lunatic.

You can do something similar with Ancient, Bruiser, and even Spellsword, though it requires more defensive items(Kappa Shield, Blacksteel Buckler, etc) and the right gem upgrades.

i have found a broken build for each class but by far the bruiser is the easiest

Really? Easier than two skill upgrades? I'd love to hear it, been trying to get into bruiser. Because that's all assassin needs for permanent vanish. (Opal secondary sapphire defensive)

Bruiser just needs 1 specific upgrade to become basically invincible (2 stack 4 second cool down invulnerability). Its not permanent, but it still means you should never get hit again and can focus purely on damage with everything else. No items required to make it broken either, though I did get 1 cooldown item that made it 2 seconds every stack :)

Ancient can get emerald special, some loot cdr, and vanish boots for perma vanish.

dancer has many permabuff builds for multiplayer too. The more i play the more i realise assasin perma vanish is just one of many broken bulds.

Invincibility is just one aspect of how it can be broken. I've run into people using support builds that just made everyone's dps 1k+ somehow.
