[3.13 UPDATED] gr0bbs | Poison Blade Vortex | Budget Viable | Endgame 50Mil+ DPS | Video Guide

I'm leveling a new character and trying to understand the build to give it a shot.

Can you please clarify something for me?

The Cold Iron Point is only used for the damage over time corruption?
It doesn't seem like the +3 to level of physical spell gem is used for this build. Am I wrong? The gems displayed in the gear section aren't supported by the looks of it.

So basically if you can't afford the (+50% damage over time) corruption going with 2x Bino's is ok?

Blade Vortex is a physical spell, thus you increase its level by 3. You can see the tags by pressing alt when you hover over it. I would run 1 CIP and 1 Bino for mapping.

Thank you for the precision! I was under the impression the +3 levels were only applying to what was socketed in the weapon itself but to everything makes more sense!

I think you can even add it to clusters and Thread of Hope. Too dumb to link it, but in my passive tree the Thread of Hope and my Medium CLuster JEwel in the top side of the tree have implicits added by harvest crafting.

Just responding to this for anyone who's following and doesn't feel like digging deep into PoE DB. You can get these mods on watchers eye (As well as Clusters (no pic):

E/ I'll update with Stun once I hit it. But freeze/stun use the same mod pool so it's fine.

I started playing this build a few days ago and I've been enjoying it so far. But yet I reached the part I always find the hardest - minmaxing. I suck at balancing my characters well enough to be able to crush the endgame, I also suck at making a lot of currency so I am forced to play with sort of budget items. Currently I'm staying at lvl 91, barely able to cap my resists (92, 75, 83) which makes impossible buying Thread of hope. I can't even complete one cluster because it seems I can't afford to respec any more points without starting to die A LOT. Playing without Wind dancer proved to be a real nightmare at this stage. I am also forced to run Silent Whispers on the tree because I can't afford a good +1 curse chest. My life is also very low - a bit over 3500. I see some people have been very helpful in this thread, would appreciate any possible advices coming my way. Thanks!

I think what helped me the most is a max quality Anomalous Herald of Purity as suggested in one of the earlier posts. I used to run a 6L Fox Fortune + Mistwall along with this and I only died when I'm not paying attention in a an end game boss fight like Sirus or the Shaper or Elder guardians. This is also because I swap to two CIP when doing these fights. I did not die at all mapping t15-t16 from 91-93 and everything else was a breeze.

I can see you're already running Aspect of the Spider and I am dropping Anomalous Herald of Purity soon for it but until you're comfortable with your defence maybe run the herald and a Mistwall when mapping for now?

I'm sure others can give you a more detailed response but this is what is working for me. I can't give much advise on currency making (too broad of a topic) or balancing your resists but maybe check out the gear of the people in this thread and try to copy it? you can get plenty of resists from cluster jewels too, I've switched to dual clusters but it's a cheaper set-up and will definitely upgrade soon. The small cluster jewels will give you much more life and defence in my opinion.

Thanks a lot man! I just bought max quality AHP (hadn't noticed anomalous was recommended tbh and used an ordinary one. Meanwhile I managed to install a thread of hope setup and things were already looking better. I can use both spider and AHP thanks to the Diadem, maybe you can too? Actually I'm using Malevolence, Spider, AHP, Precision, Despair-Blasphemy and HoA.
Will test dropping one CIP for a Mistwall though the damage decrease looks almost scary. Thanks again!

I just crafted the following Body Armour. Should I now run 3 curses with double course gloves, 2 curses with different gloves or keep the Asenath gloves?

Thank you :)

I would just try to get/find a good Hands of the High Templar gloves with both Temp Chains and Despair curse on hit implicits + 3 more impactful ones. You're only using the two curses here, no need for 3. If you have explosion chest, and a solid 5 implicit HotHT, then Asenath's isn't that special tbh.

I guess I'll leave my thoughts on the build and the gearing that I'm using. Maybe I can help someone or be helped by someone. Note that my decisions might be different, but I don't like dying and I'm trying to mitigate that.

I guess now it's time to show my build since it cleared t16 full delirium easily and bosses too.

My perception of the build.
- In my case, deaths is occasional, not frequent
- You can play this build with a few chaos or can scale this forever
- Big damage
- insanely fast map clearing
- Pain to refresh BV until 10 blades (I'm lazy)
- Can suffer from Mana sustain
- Hard to get high HP (Currently 4k)
- Resists is a pain to cap
- STR/INT was a problem for me.

Gearing and Next Upgrades

Cluster Jewels: I'm opting for the same cluster this guide offer. I have to get more HP, not worries with HP regen, So Fettle was my choice. Managed to get resists and attributes in the jewel as well to cap. (I am currently waiting to buy my 2nd small cluster with fettle)

Chestpiece: I decided to stick with more evasion/dodge instead of going full damage. Kintsugi will be my next upgrade.

Jewels: Corrupted blood as was mentioned in here by another player. A mix of Chaos DMG overtime multiplier, Poison and Duration of Poison. Anything I could find below 60c. In future will try to get better jewels

Weapon: CiP 6c but will eventually change to CiP with DoT Corruption. Not too sure if the 30% crit chance in CiP will be ok to be dropped. Will need help on that.

Gloves: Asenath. For sure. I won't use chest with explosion, at least for now. AS I mentioned, DMG is far from a problem. Why not focus on defense? =)

Passive Tree: I'm newbie so might be tons of wrong things in there. I will respect the middle bottom node (the one with Luminous Hope Jewel) until Wind Dancer (Wind Dancer and Freedom of Movement will remain) if I need more clusters or find something better.

Here is my PoB:https://pastebin.com/yFZQDkXS
note that I haven't done anything in the configuration because I have no idea how (if someone know it and feel like fixing it to me, will be awesome).

My decision on gears is based on my knowledge, which is none. So I might have had bad choices.

For the Gems setup. I GUESS i will need help on the CWDT setup, since I dont like the stone golem, pleague bearer and the summon skitterbots. Which choices I would have for defensive and offensive gems instead these mentioned above?

Pleague berar was allocated where Precision is right now.



I was going to link my jewels, which I think its a very important part of this build. But I don't know how =) PoB will show you =)

This is a mix of what I've read in the comments of this guide, the guide itself and what I thought would fit me. This is my 2nd League so my knowledge isn't huge.

100% open for suggestion.

No worries, I do feel like the 10% to taunt helps a lot, map bosses will almost be never on you. Ah I see, I am currently using Flesh and Stone on top, I'll try to drop it instead after I reach 94 and see how it feels, I never actually thought about that so thanks!

I wouldn't drop the extra CIP altogether, I'd keep the extra one in your weapon swap for end-game bosses & conquerors. Mistwall was primarily just for safer mapping, gives you a nice boost in movespeed too.

I'd also recommend finishing your first large cluster by adding the small health clusters if you can, I went with Surging Vitality (15C) ones for now cause Fettle (130C +) is a bit pricey and I tried to also get some form of elemental resists on it as a passive which helped capped my resists despite going for dual cluster set-up.
