assasin build question

i have a Queston im having trouble getting a answer. ive seen some assasins with some crazy lighting spam builds. to where it practically takes up the screen and potentially drags my pc down. (which doesnt happen often at all) WHAT IS THIS BUILD? is this even SIN specific? plz if someone could give me a little Insight (no low rolls plz lol jk) or crack this mystery for me i will appreciate it it looks really cool and dramtic just clueless as to how to its made??

Mosaic

Phoenix Strike Assassin

https://maxroll.gg/d2/guides/phoenix-strike-assassin

most importantly using the Mosaic runeword onto the 3 sockets claw (Greater Talon, Runic Talon, etc).

Mosaic is the route then. i guess my next ? would be is there a particular build with it that makes it so... massive? i see u put

Phoenix Strike with it but is there more to it that "amplies" it? i feel if it was as simple as a runeoword and a skill everyone would be spamming this intense move

If you use dual Mosaic

Claws, you are guaranteed to never lose charges (so long as you attack often enough to refresh their duration).
So all you do is stack 2 charges of Phoenix for the

Chain Lightning (optionally include

Blades of Ice,

Claws of Thunder, some

Fists of Fire).
And after that, you keep spamming typically either

Dragon Talon or

Dragon Claw (bit of a matter of preference). Both attack rather quickly and every single time they hit, you trigger the

Phoenix Strike lightnings and whatever else you charged up.
And just like that, you have yourself a never-ending light show, plowing through everything the game throws at you.

Naturally, there are better and worse builds for the whole thing and better and worse gear picks. But let's be honest, basically any variation of dual Mosaic is OP af so..no need to really even worry about that.

It's funny reading your post, I had the same exact reaction the first time I saw someone in game doing this.

edit: what Schnorki said above
It really is just 2x Mosaic

Claws along with

Phoenix Strike (and usually with some

Claws of Thunder and

Blades of Ice charges as well). Then unleashed with a

Dragon Talon.

It is kind of a fun build, at least initially, but you're constantly on the move trying to keep the charges from expiring. It gets intense and hectic. I enjoyed it at first, but it gets stressful in a way other builds don't.

Fortunately the build isn't crazy expensive so worth trying.

your comment alone makes me want to check it out. i never really knew this was a thing as a "old" d2 veteran. but it sounds like an entirely new way to play for myself the fact that its "stressful" lol
it seemed OP by some chars but im glad it has some difficulty. im sick of dying bc of a lack of stat. i want to die bc a lack of skill lol AWESOME

i greatly appreciate your thorough explanation the amount of lighting i seen, made me very skeptical and confused you are a gentle(wo)man and a scholar

Fun but stressful is a good way to describe it.
