A solid and good build for the assassin. Very detailed and a great help for starters and players who want to learn about the game-mechanics. Keep up the good work.
The 15% Move Speed from picking up flecks definitely stacks. I just had over 150% from a base of 40% with just a single item with it after a particularly juicy pack. It should also be noted that not ALL Archeotechs have the improved skills, there are both improved and non versions of each.
Nice build, I appreciate that your recommendations are low tier relics with the onus on the player if they want to maximize it. Not recommending moralities etc. Makes this build much more accessible and that's a big thumbs up from me. Subbed.
You might be better of with "+15% Chance for enemies to explode on kill, dealing area damage equal 25.0% of their HP". The damage isn't as high per explosion, but something will explode every 6-7 kill on average, and it tends to cascade in larger packs. 25% HP damage is usually enough for trash, but the 100% from the enchant you recommended may be superior in higher difficulties. Also either works wonders in a Valorous Heart mission. Get half the map following you, then goomba stomp into them as the arty hits and watch the screen explode. Also it should be pointed out that reflect (phys and generic if memory serves) will absolutely ruin you with an explode weapon. Avoid or have a spare weapon.
Great build, it's my first time playing the game and I love it. There is only one thing bothering me... Is the "area effects" passive tree really effecting the whirlwind? I did some testing by resetting the tree and run the same missions with and without it. I can't see any real damage difference or difference in the size of the whirlwind :o
Very nice build, im having a blast with it, thank you but i have one question im at lvl 41 so still low level and incomplete atm, but why use stealth armor instead of Fabricatus distortion armour? I find that the skill for this armor is much more effective when jumping into a huge crowd of enemies with heavier hitting enemies they are suddenly slowed to a crawl and your damage output is buffed so why use stealth? when you have armor that compliments this spin jumpslam attack style, it can even save you if you get into trouble by just slowing the crowd to such a crawl you can get away or clean up a single boss and bolt.
All of the assassin Armour skills are pretty good, I prefer the stealth Armour usually to get around the map and do objectives faster (especially datahunt) but as you said, its not really useful in combat. Up to your personal preference on what you want to use
if i did not start this game until this season was long past can i still get warp flex items? and if i am playing non seasonal character are there items in this build i cannot get? If so are there work around items that are not seasonal only based that will make it function close to as well? I am pretty new so still trying to understand this all, watched your items guide it was great thanks!
I added a "seasonal changes" section to the written guide a few weeks ago. Im working on a remastered version of this build for the new season, and it is very powerful im excited to share it But yeah, warp surge items are only available through trade on non-season.
@@MatHEWStorm Ok so far so good with this build its my first i really have been playing since, getting this game. I picked it up last steam sale and never realized how epic and good it is as a warhammer 40k fan. I tried each class but when i found this build well here i am at level 52. Enjoying it thus far, i do have to run from groups of marines with flame throwers when they bunch up but my Distortion armor is epic when i go into slow motion high damage mode, ive not acquired an archeothech but i did get blessed with a legendary Eye implant of Ambush which is interesting. Thus far ive maxed out movment first like you suggested, then maxed out crit next now im working on Krieg Doctrines, got melee combat done, and figure the next foucus will be defense, i play every mission on extreme, for campaign ive not really delved to much into other missions yet, building up to it. I chose Radical path. Will this work without the warp surge Sparks? Thanks for the input look super forward to your new video remastered with this, you got my sub.
Seasonal Archeotech items don't have those upgraded skills, and there's this weird bug where if you equip a seasonal weapon in one hand and an actual archeotech weapon in the other, it loses the upgraded skills. Its annoying, hopefully its fixed soon
The best spot for Archeotech Relics is from Void crusades chests! If you're not sure about them, here's a video - th-cam.com/video/6UYjOJ3BRt4/w-d-xo.html - There are 8 chests in total, 3 of them will give you relics with a much higher chance of archeotech than any other content in the game
@@MatHEWStorm thanks, dude. I'm currently getting my ass handed to me on those. I'm only level 70. I'd it too soon? Or do I need to not treat this like diablo and slow down a bit?
@@JLeppert do you have psalm code doctrines set up? Thats ususlly when i start void crusading For this build specifically, the 2 weapon psalm codes are super important (and not too rare) for damage The chest piece one will give you tons of survivability but its pretty rare, you mihht want to just put archeotech shards with HP or damage reduction until you can collect all tnose codes
You'd have to change the seasonal items out for something else, using your own judgement. There are some cool season 3 items that would fit well in those slots.
@@MatHEWStorm Can you tell me what these things should be? And what enchantment to look for instead of "% chance to spawn a warp fleck on killing a champion"?

Any Combination of these items to replace your eye and main implant would work great. Eventually I’ll have to make a spin2win 2.0, but for now use your own judgement.

Just started this game. Looks like an interesting build to be my first haha. Glad to see there's still a community for this game.
Thanks for making W40K: Inquisitor videos! This build looks fun, I'm going to give it a try.

Hi, I equipped my main hand with archeotech relic arc blade but why does my weapon skill not being upgraded at all? Is there some sort of bug?

ok dumb question time. What expertise is this? I just came back and pretty much forgot everything cause im old \
its ok haha, expertise doesn't matter, it only affects what you start with, every assassin will have access to every weapon, perk, passive, etc
More than 200hrs in this game, and I have yet to play assassin class..
WIll this build work in Season 3? or is it better to get something else?

@@MatHEWStorm thanks ) From Russia with love
@@MatHEWStorm does matter - puritan or radical, or not?
Cleaver :D
Is assassin the only spin to win class in the game?
no , the crusader also has a weapon that spins 2 win and can be built much tankier - th-cam.com/video/AIa1xon-K4w/w-d-xo.html
Can I play this build or is to old?
Too old. th-cam.com/video/qej6r2w6P-8/w-d-xo.html here is an updated version
Thanks
Great build.
I wish i could play a Bloodletter and slaughter marines instead. 😆
