Mystic Tome for Assassins

+DEX would be the best choice on the long term. +HP recovery is very useful at lower levels, but it loses effectiveness at higher levels where you'll have 6k+ hp (and where bloodpaint will cover you for most, if not all, incoming damage).

Assassins get 13 hp from 1 point of vit and a negligible amount of def (like 20 def for every 100 points). Upping your vit as an assassin is just a big NO.

You gain 1% crit rate per 20 dex like every other class and increases your damage by this formula:

attack multiplier = 1 + ( Dex / 150 ) + weapon mastery + physical attack buffs

In other words, without any masteries and buffs 1 point of DEX will increase your damage by 0.66%.

Dex is definitely where you want to put all your points into (while still following str requirements for gear) as an assassin.

vit is a touchy subject for sins.... It is a yes and no kind of debate even for people who do use it.

A moderate vit is used by most sins of 1 vit every other lvl evening out to about 50 vit by 100. But many will restat back to 5 vit at 100

You could try end game gear with half and half of Dots and savants if you can afford it. Maintain the 50 or so vit and shard half dots and half savants evening out to almost 200 vit and about 70+ att lvl passive (with catasophre daggers).

Would look something like this

If you put nirvana daggers on that sin you can have a 4 aps sage or a 5 aps demon but with less physical dmg.
If you get a nirvana hat (ancestral hat) and restat about 13 str to dex you will have slightly less hp (about 10900) but will further raise att lvl by 5 and slightly increase dmg

Just gotta play around with it to suit your tastes really

Some advice on your advice, don't show people mixed shard items. If you're going to shard DoT put them all in x number of items. This goes the same for vit stones. The reason for this you might ask? If you ever decided to to go full Vit Stone or Full DoT you'll be purging some of the shards you want to keep which is kinda backwards from what you would want to do.

You have a point however the point that I was trying to make is to be half and half... Thats the plan.

If I am not mistaken he is 74 asking about his end game so he is setting up his plan on what he wants to do end game. I gave him other options to increase and tweak and he is welcome to change it as he sees fit. He gets an idea early on so he doesn't have to back track much later on when it really matters.

I will agree that you do have a point for those people that hit 100 throw stuff together randomly... it is a good idea.

But for the educated ones that is what the calculator is for... to get an idea

However, one point to be made even if I seperated them to all be 4 sockets 3 dots gear and 3 vit gear... No matter what you are gonna spend a huge amount of cash to reshard the half you don't want later (if someone were to go pure build)

A build like that on any toon is gonna cost about $3500 (or months of farming) after its all said and done

Ask me how I know thisb:surrender

I put it up there because I am tired of seeing the same run of the mill builds for sins... Everyone has the same pieces with the same shards and refines. 95% or higher are demons... This stirs the pot a lil and shows you can do something a lil different and still get results equal to improved results.
