After the success of my poison BV assassin this league, and all the positive feedback I decided it was time to push a poison build even further. I believe this build will push more damage, have a safer playstyle and more surivivability. Stay tuned <3

About this Build

Pros
+ Comfortable hit and move playstlye
+ Single Target is massive - demolishes metamorphs + bosses in seconds
+ Tons of dodge and evasion
+ Ranged build can play defensively against tougher mobs without sacrificing DPS.
+ Can run any map mod (some are just a little bit slower like %chance to avoid poison)


Cons
- Scales with some uniques and high end gear
- It's a dodge build (however we can hit and move so it's not really a problem)




Main Mechanics in this Build
POISON - Scourge Arrow applies screenwide poisons on the mobs when clearing maps. With how fast we are in the late game, it's super easy to shoot and deploy 5 pods, which in turn all shoot projectiles everywhere, you basically clear the whole screen with the degen immediately after the pods go off. The same is true for bosses,

ELUSIVE - Increases your dodge and movement speed. This keeps you alive. If you feel you need 100% up-time you can easily integrate Withering step to gain permanent elusive. I don't feel I need it at this stage, but it's an option.



Leveling this Build

Full Leveling Section
Leveling Gear + Gems

Use anything to get to level 5, Equip a Quill rain, Hyrris bite, Tabula and use Rain of arrows with any supports you can equip. (Preferably the poison supports including deadly ailments, unbound ailments etc)

I suggest using Mirage Archer always, it's such nice quality of life

A quill rain and Hyrris bite will carry you to maps

Gear & Flasks

Gear

Weapons

Darkscorn Bow

BiS unique by far, lots of offensive and defensive benefits


Helm

Rare Helm with Enchant



Body

Rare Body Armour with -15 Mana Cost of Socketed Attacks

-15 Mana is perfect for us as the links we use mean Scourge Arrow costs 15 mana. We can reserve all of our mana elsewhere and still use Scourge arrow. The increased max life % and flat life are also huge.


Amulet

Rare Amulet

Amulet is one of the best slots to get damage. You should Allocate Growth and Decay as it gives big Damage and 1% life regen which helps to counter blood rage degen


Rings

Circle of Nostalgia

Chaos Damage and Buff Effect are the best rolls on this. Get whatever you can afford on the implicits.

Rare Ring with Despair on Hit



Boots

Rare Boots with % MS

Movement Speed is really nice, and 30% is the minimum. Fill out life and Resistances here too if you can.


Gloves

Rare Gloves
Rare gloves with Life, Res, Atk Speed.

Asenath's

Testing out Asenath's to help a little with clearing. The pops are also super satisfying.


Belt

Stygian Vise

Fill out Life and Resistances as required



Flasks

Coralito's Signature

One of our biggest DPS boost, makes our poisons last for a very long time. Perfect Agony is also a DPS boost, and having it on the flask is enough (Although you can spec into the point if you need more consistent damage).

Sin's Rebirth

Grants Unholy might, which is a nice boost to our poison damage.

Utility Flask

Life Flask

The last two slots are up to you. Aim for freeze and bleed removal on whatever you have in these slots.


Extreme Endgame Gear (For the rich bois)

Watcher's Eye




Mapping & Bossfights

GENERAL MAPPING - Mapping is super smooth. Run and shoot. Can easily run past packs as your poison degens them. Most everything dies within a second fo getting poisoned.

Your last poison BV build was dope. Really excited for this one.
Awesome build as always! What do you think of adding a timeless jewel to grab the divine flesh node though?

I was going to mention this in the guide, if you feel you want more Tankiness it's a good idea, I didn't feel the need :)

First of all, thx for the build and the guide.
The quality of content is great and deserves a lot more attention.

but i have a something to ask/consider

you mentioned the build to be able to deal +12m dps..... how?
its like you abbandonend the guide. the POB isnt even near those dps numbers and some items are a little bit strange like abyss jewel or your resistance staying at 20/30/70....
there are no item choices for upgrades etc.

would be great if you stick to your builds more before you go on with another guide, feels a little bit unfinished.

Hey! Sorry, you're right. I bit off a bit more than I can chew with the 3 guides i've put out. The BV one took off and i spent all my time on that..

However, I did clear the game with this build and can assure you it can do all content :)

Hi there.
I already tried out the scourge arrow assassin build from a different host and it was okay to play until the 3.10. Patch came out. The herald and elusive nerv took my character back down . I died lots of time due to lack of defense vs. I probably did some mistakes on the build myself.
But then after decision to change to a trickster build, I accidentally found out about your build on youtube almost on time. It will take some time to go back to assassin as i already spent my currencies on the trickster build, but i am really curious how your build is going to be like, cause it looked so smooth. I know the pictures are taken from morph times but i still believe even with the delirium nerv its goin to turn out well. (Btw im casual player and its my first character lvl 82). I love the game and i plan finding some mates to rush maps. The gaming experience is fuckin great! And it will be better when i stop dying o_o
