Assassin/Ninja Help Which Build Should I Use

I am having a very hard time choosing between these two builds. Please help me decide!
https://wynndata.tk/s/aA1Rmj (Flameshot Melee)
https://wynndata.tk/s/xNvn06 (daypxl's sitis build modified very slightly)

 

Depends on what you want to do.

(also use Time Ring instead of Clockwork Ring definitely)

 

May I ask the reason for this change?

 

You're losing health with Clockwork ring and the spell damage isn't doing you any good. Better to just keep the extra health and gain a bit of health regen from Time Ring's buff, and you get the same damage boost either way.

 

use clockwork ring because it has more overall use

 

Because you'll gain a little of health regen, compared to negative health and spell damage. With Centipede. Don't forget about Clock Amulet either, it gives good rainbow defenses and the same set bonus.

As for the builds, the Flameshot Hilt build is pretty solid, although I would recommend a version with higher damage and slightly less health. The Sitis build seems kind of strange to me (then again, don't most Sitis builds?), but the defenses are painfully bad. Aphotic + Ex Nihilo has been pretty popular lately, but you're either sacrificing your thunder or fire defense, and I feel like maybe something like this should be considered.

 

I'm not sure if it's worth it to go to the clock merchant just to get 6 more hpr and 25 more health xD

 

Reasons to kill Kronos a bunch of times the first time around :P

I'm kind of surprised Sitis went that high with Aphotic + Ex Nihilo since it kills thunder so hard. I wouldn't recommend that combination with Assassin because of the 35% thunder conversion on Spin Attack.
