Assassin Unstable Infusion un nerf/fix it alredy

Use a fast hitting skill. I use this node on my Blade Vortex build, for example.

Even with pretty darn high crit chance, this node still keeps my power charges up pretty much all the time. Means I don't need to waste a gem socket for Pcoc and waste some of my mana pool and my curse to run Assassin's mark.

If you run some slow hitting build this node is outright awful, I agree. And I personally think Pcoc is not in a place where it should ever be used on any main skill link right now.

If you want higher crit with a slower attacking skill I highly recommend the increased crit strikes gem. It's pretty darn strong right now.

I does not mather mach how fast you attack, if you going for crit build its not gona do mach better especialy after Deadly Infusion.
I got Flicker strike assassin and it attack 11/sec. but geining charges after you have 95% crit chance is just not hapening, if i dont use pcoh i cant basicly most of time even get to full power charge potencial and even less keep it refresh att all.
Now i playing kinetic blast for leveling and even with 50% crit i cant even get more then 2 charges on awrage before i lose them. I basicly need to use other means to gain them and thats just showing how usles it is.

Deadly Infusion is pretty much the strongest 4-point notable in the tree, so yeah, Unstable Infusion being among the weakest 2-pointers on the way is entirely justifiable.

I dont think its the strongest 4. point, more so i just finde it build enabling.
Ther is to many factors that go into crit and conditions, thats hardly relevant excuse of 2. points to be complitly wested.
Such a build in frst place depend of power charges and whit outh them its usles, having large number of charges make things even worst.

Having thos 2. nodes conecting to Deadly infusin serve no purpose, its not good for it self and its of no use to things its conected.

The Scion Assassin power charge generation on full life is even worse. I've played with both and had to also use Assassins Mark or PCOC to generate charges consistently.

Odd that they gave the Witch the best way to generate charges for a crit build.

Well witchs are basically the home of power charges. All Crit and Powercharge related gems are pure blue. All they would have to do is add one power charge to unstable infusion to make the node good. The 10% for the occultist isn't really all that useful either. Exspecially if you use Powercharges to get to high crit it is hard to crit enough for that 10% to be able to sustain itself. So what sets the Occultist apart from the Assassin is the +1 charge.

What you're saying is true, but adding a +1 PC to the node wouldn't make the other effect any more useful.

They need to change the mechanic for both occultist and assassin to something that isn't worthless.

The Assassin should have the Hierophant's mechanism(but weaker since it's an intermediate instead of end node), and the Hierophant's should relate to elemental status effects instead of kills. Just my thought on it.

The assassin already has two OP nodes, deadly infusion and toxic delivery, and a decent ambush - assassinate branch.

If they buffed unstable infusion, you would get a 4-point ascendancy branch stronger than some entire 8-point classes (at least for crit DPS purposes). Besides, unstable infusion was never meant to be a 'get free power charges' thing. It's a crutch for midgame when you do your first lab and your crit chance isn't that high yet, and it's just a little extra in endgame to help build up and maintain your power charges - in addition to other power charge generators.

The assassin is such an enormous buff for crit builds and got another huge buff with the new toxic delivery, I can't believe some people are complaining so hard. Hey, this ascendancy class straight out doubles the damage of crit builds, let's buff it more, right?

I've used scion assassin in perandus and her bonus was enough for to sustain my power charges. However scion raider frenzy charges on kill is totally useless. That's probably the reason it was increased to 15% for ranger raider and shadow trickster.

Why do you think that? Of all the charges, frenzy is the one you have the least use for imo so one would not need 100% uptime.
But i must say that 10% on kill is enough to run through a map with 100% uptime, especially if you're raider.

And are you completely honest when you say that 10% on full life is better than 10% on kill? It's more or less the same if you have decent damage.

What do i get from this carp when i need to use Assassin mark and Power charge on crit gem to get my charges runing and susteining in first place?
Its not like its gona get better with Deadly Infusion or thats even good whit outh of it.

Worthless? Im not sure what your on about here but your defeating the point of the node right here running PCOC or AM because even with only 10% chance i ALWAYS have max PCs up a all times with this node so it saves me a gem slot/35% mana... Which is the point of the node to gain charges without using these methods.

And even if you have say a COC build running capped crit chance you can always run BV with Inc Duration and still pull all your charges for free with only 2 slots.. im BV right now has over 76% crit chance and i STILL keep my charges up at all times.. If ranged then Firestorm also works for this for only one gem slot. The whole point of the node is to more easily pull charges and it works if you just know how to use it.
