- The Blade Fury Assassin is one of the most misunderstood builds in Diablo 2 Resurrected, even more than Smiters, Poisonmancers, or Strafezons - this is because the mechanics of Blade Fury are not necessarily what everyone would expect. So Today, we're making a blade fury assassin that can kill quickly, without having to re-start their blades every few seconds, or worry about enemies getting close.
If you'd like to see a video taking a deep dive into Blade Fury specifically, mention it down below, and give this video a thumbs up.

Nice, loving these off-meta builds. Not only you bring something new but you actually do a deep dive into mechanics. Some people already mentioned Razortail as a possible option for belt, provided the piece effect applies - would be cool to know if it works!
Sadly Pierce doesn't work with Blade Fury (would be scary though if it did)
It’s not new but it can be confusing since blizzard really is particular about your left and right hand and skill in those slots 🤷🏽♂️that’s very annoying. Glad Alzo can break it down simply

As a kid, my highest level character was a blade fury assassin. I only got to mid Nighmare, around level 54 I think, and I had a yellow two socketed bow I tried to make Zephyr in. There was pretty much no thought put into the build other than the martial arts skills confused me and I liked throwing shurikens. The skill still has a special spot in my heart to this day, and I always wondered how someone who doesn't discount it outright might use it well.
the build is so interesting, i cannot wait until next patch, really want to mess with this "bladesin ?" , i wanted to see how that skill performs, but never thought of putting effort, made me learn another thing man, thanks for all your D2R vids throughout 2021, happy new year and all the best !!!
Finally bladesin video... I would maybe add some general advise - ignore target defense is one of the best modifiers you can get on weapon, tiamath shield can be surprisingly powerful source of elemental damage, jmod shield with 4x ED jewels is the very top tier shield, there are budget weapons to use like the fleshrippere (eth if possiblee) and duress armor can be nice before you get fortitude.
ITD is very nice (doesn't work on bosses though sadly), and there is a strong argument for a Fury Claw w/ 3 Blade Fury - and fleshripper is an excellent budget option for both kicksins and blade fury assassins for sure.
As far as Tiamat, I understand the appeal of it, but I've always been fairly underwhelmed with what it adds to the variants of this build :(
This was AWESOME thank you !
I was watching llama's guide on bladsesin and was kind of disapointed of his assassin knowledge (not blaming the guy)
yours was way more thorough on why and how this build works :)
My preference is on the hybrid side.
Dragon Talon to max, Blade Fury to max, claw mastery to max for the extra damage from it -- and importantly, 22% critical strike, one point down to venom, one point down to cloak of shadows, one point down to Dragon Flight, and dump the rest into death sentry for wider AOE damage.
While Claw Mastery with a claw doesn't add AR to Blade Fury, it does add that sweet ED, and DOES add AR to your Dragon Talon, allowing it to hit bosses pretty easily.
Fury Claw, Eth (Suwayyah or Scissors Suwayyah, sup if you can get it, blade fury, dragon talon, claw mastery, death sentry or venom staff mods, in that order).
Fury gives you a ton of Deadly Strike and also Ignores Target Defense, so everything but bosses and like, superuniques, will always be struck.
Then because I don't need the AR anymore as Dragon Talon kills bosses fast, I can max my critical strike with Highlord's Wrath, then use a Bul Kathos's ring for life leech and a Raven Frost for Cannot Be Frozen, although a suitably decent Rhyme will work just fine. Then I don't need String of ears and can go with Verdungoes for the big vitality boost with DR%.
Otherwise it's about the same. Pride + Fortitude on merc, GFace, Fortitude, Gore riders, and if you can get them? Rare +2 Martial Arts 20ias gloves with Mana leech. Preferably CRAFTED with all of the above, blood gloves have crushing blow and life leech on them, which is nice.
I would STILL recommend adding Dex for block chance UNLESS you do a variant and bump up Weapon Block, at which point your best offhand is probably an Isted Bartuc's in your offhand. At that point add just enough for your gear and dump the rest into vit and maaaybe some into energy if you're feeling crabby.
One of the biggest problems with this build is that to maximize damage, you need an ethereal weapon, and the other two blade skills don't add enough damage while ALSO taking durability from it... So you can get swarmed.
And when you DO get swarmed, or hit by mana leech enemies, blade fury is a skill that makes you swing at the enemy if you have no mana with which to cast blades.
Eth Suwayyahs have like 12 durability, so you need to be careful.
Death Sentry has three important uses for a solo Blade Fury Sin. In dark mazes it serves as a beacon to scout out your path before you venture forward. As soon as you cast DS, its pilot lights illuminate the area around it, extending your effective light radius. When triggered by nearby foes, DS lightning beams point out the direction where the nearest enemies lurk. Then once you score your initial kills, DS corpse explosion blasts the rest of the monsters in each pack. DS lightning triggers also tell you when to cast Cloak of Shadows, preventing premature use of this one-cast-at-a-time defensive curse. Add a Shadow Warrior to your posse, and with CoS on your right mouse button she will double-team your Clock of Shadows coverage of enemy mobs. With the aid of a heavy-hitter Act 2 merc, a Blade Fury Sin equipped with an Ethereal weapon can solo Hardcore Hell.
LMAO I was literally looking through your videos this morning looking for a blade fury build.. awesome 👍
just got buffed baby!
Set sash has cannot be frozen and on 2.4 it will be possible to up set items.
Might come handy
It will be a good upgrade option, though cannot be frozen is optional for blade fury (since it's unaffected by attack speed changes). But on a few other builds, I can see it absolutely being a competitor for mid-tier gear
With the upcoming buffs to the bladesin, I think this may become a meta build.
damn. it didn't happen
Nice, what a cool build, seeing it destry hell cows was real eye opener
Another excellent job
thanks :)
This was my go to assassin when LOD came out. However I was crap at builds, I was splitting BF with traps and with no gear, nightmare was....bad.
yea, and there's a lot of ways we can accidentally nerf our own blade fury without knowing it (a big one is 2 handed weapons)
This looks like fun
This and the kicksin are two of the builds I play the most on the assassin :) (despite how much I promote trapsin, because it's just great - I find these more fun lately)
Would razertail the belt for a javezon, would that help the blades have pierce?
sadly none of the pierce effects work for blade fury
@@Alzorath Booo! I hope Blizzatd allows this interaction in the future.
I like combining bramble and malice for my lead hose assassin. Nice boost to venom with since bleed
Big advice to give for me : use Maj-clic while not focusing monster to not get the wind up when you change target, almost mandatory when you kill low life high density monsters in my eyes.
yea, shift-attacking and shift-alt-attacking are really useful tools for builds like this
I have always skipped it since it had no synergies but this looks interesting. I think I will try this down the road since I don't have all that fancy gear lol. But it looks fun and different.
There are budget versions for it - as long as you remember the 3 equipment rules, it's possible to set up a budget version of it that can get through nightmare, though without decent gear, hell can get a bit painful (and if you lack skill charms, elemental damage charms and attack rating charms are nice)
Does razortail belt work with blade fury??? Bc if thats case I think thats the best belt....
Sadly pierce doesn't work with blade fury.
We need more barb with two Ali Baba instead Maser
A question: the weapon dmg 177-500 ish, dose this go to 3/4 for the blade fury dmg?
all damage from outside the blade-fury skill is indeed cut to 3/4 with a 1 handed weapon.
? The new act 3 merc will have a enchant.. will that work for a blade/kicksin.. also will venom work for a kick/blade sin?
They both work to some extent, yes, though I think the Act 5 mercenary will be the better choice.
this may be entirely changed soon tho since they are looking to improve these skills with new synergies hopefully.
have a feeling it'll remain fairly similar, but with potentially better interactions with shooting mechanics and a bit more damage potential.
Can you remake with 2.4 changes
The Proc-sin version is pretty close, but yea, I can update this for 2.4 (though the main difference in equipment will be the use of a phoenix shield now that it doesn't interrupt fury - that and adjusting the skill layout to optimize for boosting fury damage through synergies)
Thks! I love fringe buid. Does it work with proc effects? With rift or with stormlash? Where would the static proc? Close to us or at the target?
it only works on "chance to cast on striking" effects (not ctc on attack) - it's okay with stormlash, but the static field is centered on you (where the ctc is centered is a bit inconsistent, but static is on player, while bone spear is on enemy for example). I wouldn't bother with it on rift (orb is on attack, not striking, so it will never trigger - but even if it did, for example if you use "Chaos" instead - it would interrupt the blade fury and make you need to wind up again)
you would be surprised how good law bringer can be for this build in hardcore even though the curse proc interrupts blade fury.
Nice ty.Fortitude can be only made offline ? or ?
from the top of my head question, without playing the build, do blades pierce, and would maybe razortail boost overall damage output?
sadly no, blades are not effected by the piercing modifier :(
I edited jsons for single player to match the upcoming 2.4ptr patch....
bladesin is gonna be strongest hero ever. Definitely going to get nerfed. I was clearing cow lvl on player 8 in under 2 minutes. The constant dmg and double tp with enigma/dragonfilght with bladeshield on, was STUPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID LOL
id remove raven frost as its messing with corps explosion and put cannot be frozen in the helm.
yes and no - the dex/AR is very nice on it as well, and generally speaking the shatter rate is super low, so it's a negligible difference.
Awesome. Does +dmg, +maxdmg etc drom gear and/or from weapon not work with this skill?
Damage + doesn't work unfortunately (ie things like Grief)
But min-max damage apply - though on weapon it's only part of the weapon's base damage, off-weapon it's applied to the attack.
@@Alzorath that's a pity, although someone could say it's refreshing that there's a build thst doesn't want Grief at all.
How would maxdmg/ar charms compare to the Trap Skillers? I know you like to basically treat the game as single player, but for people who do trades i think those would be cheaper than skillers.
I personally prefer the trap skillers since it boosts not only my blade fury, but also the death sentry (keeps the radius reasonable) - which is a bit of a necessity for crowd control, while the fury is your big hitter - so for the max dmg/ar charms to make up for the loss of them, it would have to be a fairly drastic (and expensive) boost in terms of PvE.
Awesome video!
I tried playing around with Fury over the years, but never really found a good combo of skills and equipment. I also didn't take the time to understand how it worked... 😒😑
Blade Fury, for me, falls into a category kind of like vengeance (although Blade Fury is markedly better) - in that it has so many conditionals and oddities that most people struggle with it
@@Alzorath I did well with vengeance on a pally in 1.09, haven't played with it since.
It seemed then, all you needed was a Lightsaber and a stormshield and you were golden.
Nice guide, but going light traps along with the death sentries will likely result in higher kill speed at much lower gear cost
When you just start hell and you don’t have end game gears yet, can you really stand there and shot blades? Any ranged mobs can one shot you if you stand still for one second longer….
there is a budget version of this with all normal/nightmare farmable gear that does fine - if you're being one shot by most ranged mobs, I would double check the character's resistances and life total - since generally the only really threatening ranged mobs for most builds should be elemental skele archers and gloams.
@@Alzorath my hammerdin and trapsin had this issue starting hell, I didn’t have gg runeword gears. Both had 40-50ish all res, was very difficult for me to even farm the contess, the dark archers, sometimes the elites kills me too quick….. hammerdin has to face tank them or the hammers will hit the wall, trapsin can’t do much as they are lightning immune…..
The only char I managed to finish hell without gg gear is bowzon, with valk tank, everything went easy. Now I am playing a summon necro, should be easy enough to finish hell as well
Ya but thats still an expensive build to only be so so interesting. It works. But that's it.
There are inexpensive ways to build a BF Sin that require nothing more than mid-level runes. Hint: check out Iratha's Finery at level-15.
