Introduction
After spending several seasons of playing casually and learning the game, this is the first season I've really pushed myself and my character. I decided on the Psionic Storm Assassin and I'm so glad I did. This character is incredibly fun to play. At times, when everything is going right, you'll feel like Mozart on the keyboard. Other times this class can be incredibly frustrating and feel like paper. At the end of the day, it's a challenging yet rewarding class.
The last guide on this character found here is what my character is based on. It's a fantastic and comprehensive guide. However, due to the differences between 1.7 and 2.0, some of that guide may be a little bit misleading (the tooltip damage, for example, is not realistic to obtain in this patch). You should still refer to this guide for things like breakpoints.
I want to keep this short and sweet. The goal of this miniguide is to update some aspects of the previous guide and to add some more choices to gear that I've been experimenting with.
Pros
- Excellent farmer at almost all periods in the game
- Active gameplay
- Can do most bosses
Cons
- Can't tank damage, relies on good movement
- Heavily mana dependent
- Can be carpal tunnel inducing
Psionic Storm
Our main skill
- High damage AoE
- Drains 10% of your max mana per cast (as well as a flat cost)
- Heals you if you have at least 10% of your max mana in the pool
- Scales ONLY off energy and skills
The Theory
We have two choices. We can either maximise our damage by increasing our energy as much as possible from %energy and flat energy OR we can sacrifice some energy for mana regeneration. I've experimented quite extensively with both. They're both excellent choices for late game farming, however, I have recently been leaning towards mana regen and had more success with bossing with this build. The reason being we can cast Psionic Storm more frequently and we can utilise the health regen more effectively, giving us more survivability.
Stats
Early game:
STR and DEX to equip gear, the rest into ENERGY
Late game:
All ENERGY (charms and gear cover our STR/DEX numbers)
Skills
Psionic:
- Max Psionic Storm (duh)
- Max Energize
- Max Pinnacle (only useful every 6 base levels. Keep this in mind when attributing points)
- 1 into Cognition (at least 100 in the tree for Bloodbath, a solid defensive layer. 125 doesn't affect us and 150 is unreasonably high).
Mastery:
- Max Meditation (ASAP!)
- Max Specialization
- Max either Endurance or Chemistry (Chemistry if you find yourself chugging mana pots constantly)
Reward:
- Max Prismatic Cloak (good defensive layer)
- Max Doom (affects Psionic Storm damage)
Ninja:
- 1 into Blink (maybe 1 into Domain if you feel Blink isn't going the distance)
- 1 into Shadow Refuge (enough to get max physical resist. Keep this on left click)
- Max Shadowrush for farming/kiting/happy feet
- Max Perfect Being (awesome defensive skill)
Gear
Now don't take everything I say for gospel. I have 800 deaths this season (lol) but I also got to level 140 in 2 weeks and killed Uldyssian with this build (still grumpy my first Neutrality Pact was +1 ). I'm yet to try Laz but will update when I get the chance. Anyway, let's call what I've done this season a science experiment (that could certainly be improved upon!)

Late Game
First of all, this build excels with The Sleep trophied with Baal's Trophy because of the insane mana regen. Without that, you certainly need to stack as much mana regen as possible elsewhere.
Secondly, we can either run two claws or one claw and a shield. I personally prefer two claws but there are certainly benefits to the claw/shield setup. I'll list all the best choices I've found for these claw and shield combinations.

Final Notes
As I said in the intro, I'm newish to the game and this is my first character that I actually consider strong. I'm certainly open to suggestions and improvements on my ideas. This is also my first attempt at a guide, so feedback on general aspects of the guide are welcome too
If this guide gets some traction I will certainly be adding screenshots and videos.
Good luck with this build!
