[3.8] Assassin Poisonator | Cobra Lash / Venom Gyre | All Content | Uber Elder Video |

Been playing around with lycosidae and the embalmer for a 5l HoAG and witherstep on cwdt for no reason at all than to see those nice eyes from time to time :)

The highlight so far (t7 maps) was killing an ephij in the middle of a uul breach on a t5, I died once in maps so far but I am dropping a pcoc OOS and wither totems at bosses and big HP rares.

Just got a 5l dendrobate, sitting at a quite low 3.7k HP but I don't expect problems till red maps, going at an elderly pace so far :)

Poison builds scale insanely with Delve prefix "60% chance to deal 100% more poison damage", or whatever it's worded, and high DPS/fast weapons, which we clearly lack that early in the league.


As for Dendrobate, it's really good damage wise but having no life at all on something that's already pretty squishy doesn't make it BiS, if you have the funds to replace it with a good Elder armour.

You can manually add Nightblade in PoB.
Same thing for Elusive, through getting a mean value (basically max/2 if you don't refresh it)

so have you testet it with manual entry in PoB? is it worth to use nightblade in the 6link?

Thanks you for share the concept of this build.
So far i really enjoy this build

this is my items so far



and i want to ask, are inc chaos dmg nodes worth to spend?

Depends on how much crit' chance/crit' multi you already have and your base crit' chance.

I've been playing with this build and swapping between Cobra Lash and Venom Gyre, but to be honest with you.. For this league mechanic and especially for Blighted Maps where you have monsters walking one by one in a line I feel like Spectral Throw will be the best option. On the other hand Venom Gyre with pierce gem and pierce passives might be great as well. So many possibilities though!. It's been fun so far.

Having a blast! Thank you very much for creating this awesome build!

You mean the Piercing Shot passive node AND pierce support gem at the same time? So the skill would pierce 6 targets?

Can someone ELI5 how level this build? which gems at which level mostly

U pob link w/o update man, fix pls all skills

One link was left, I decided that a tree with more HP would be recommended now. There are two skills to choose from (Cobra and Venom), 3 chest, I removed the unique shield and added Rare one (simpy def stats). Tree now includes Piercing Shots by default, if you're playing Cobra Lash, add an extra Jewel instead. We use HoA in the 4 link, has excellent synergy with this build. I still don't know what about Nightblade, there are still no Elusive / Mistwalker bonuses so there will be more numbers later. I think Nightblade will be better than vicious projectiles as 6 link.

When it comes to chest, Dendrobate is not so super as i think. It is worth replacing it with Cherrubim's Maleficence and this is what I gave as default in PoB, but you can check other two. Yriel's Fostering is an endgame option for the build.

There are a lot of opinions, very divergent about the build. I don't know what you expected. Poison is still the same Poison, patch makes a lot bigger numbers and is strong endgame accessible. Because here I have no doubt that build under pure poison is able to clear all content with new skills. But this playstyle is not for everyone. It is very specific. We don't have such a thing as damage burst, here skill hit a mob it just throws Poison on it, so playing it may seem delayed. On the top on first page is " Poison is rather a unpopular mechanics, not everyone likes to play it so it seems to me that it will not be too bad, after that much more hype is on summoner builds and on mines ofcourse." The joy of the game is very important, if there is no fun then you have to change your character, it is not worth getting tired, I am well aware that poison playstyle is not for everyone, it is really different. A few people wrote that maybe you can still do something about it, you can't do it because the poison just works like that or you love it or you can't play it: D And such a person will not be convinced, no PoB, no changes because it will still look the same but with different skills and other numbers. Such people look for minuses, just to find something, we have the second day of the league and they already prophesy that build is useless and on the other end of this rope we have people who are already play on red maps and have fun. Poison is like that and believe me, if you don't like this style from the beginning, you'll never like it.
