3.17 Detonate Dead Poison Assassin

Pros:
+Allmost immortal
+Mad dps (im at atleast 15 million poison dps atm.)
+Being a DoT build so no need ot watch enemies go to 0 hp when they will do over time. Also gives more defensive options as we can move away from kosis slam meanwhile it dies etc.

Cons:
-Doing legion is miserable as we dont have that big aoe
-Being a DoT build so nothing with any hp explodes or dies instantly.
-Expensive
-Mageblood build (im gonna test simu without MB when i reach 100)

That's my current PoB. And yes you can do all content with lots of cheaper/worse gear. Let me explain some most important things and my own desicions while making the build

Charges:
Im using power charges (ascendancy) as i felt that getting powers from chest were a waste + i didnt see the elusive ascendancy that useful.

Attack speed:
We are using 2x spells in our CoC setup which means we need PoB attack rate at 15.18 which results 7.57 casts per second (7.57 desecrates + 7.57 Detonate deads). For this we need 14% cooldown recovery speed on gear. Easily obtained from awakened cast on critical strike. Going more then that 14% does nothing as going for 30.30 attacks per second is really hard and requires a lot more attack speed.

Corpse life:
We use Phantasmal desecrate which can summon flickershades (300% more hp).
Ashes of the stars gives epic 30% more quality so we got 50% per corpse to spawn a 300% more hp corpse.

Regular lvl 83 corpse got around 15k hp. We take 2x 10% increased corpse life from tree which results around ~18k normal corpse life.
Yet that 50% chance to pop that sweet ~48k hp corpse is there so i decided to go with manual setup of 25k. Yet PoB says 15million but you can see few youtube videos and see things melt.

Kitava's Teachings:
EPIC defense booster. Consume corpse once a second to recover 5% hp. Love it

Timeless Jewel:
I decided to go with Glorious Vanity Xibaqua.
It grants Divine Flesh.
I also opted for megalomaniac and got Born of Chaos there to boost my survivability even more.

Watcher's eye:
MOST IMPORTANT mod is X life gained on hit while affected by vitality.
Other 1-2 mods can be as offensive or defensive as you want.

Forbidden Flesh & Forbidden Flame
I went for obvious choise of Prolonged pain

Note that im using ashes of the stars which grants 30% more quality to all skill gems so im taking advantage of most altered qualities:

3L
Anomalous Molten Shell 20/20
Anomalous Defiance Banner 20/20
Anomalous Vitality 1/20

3L
Anomalous Withering Step 20/20
Divergent Plague Bearer 20/20
Anomalous Precision 14/20

6L
Divergent Cyclone 20/20
Awakened Cast on Critical Strike 5/20
Anomalous Detonate Dead 21/20
Awakened Spell Cascade 5/20
Phantasmal Desecrate 20/20
Awakened Unbound Ailments 5/20

4L
Divergent Malevolence
Anomalous Determination 21/20
Anomalous Vaal Grace 20/20
Enlighten 4

4L
Awakened Blasphemy 5/20
Temporal Chains 20/20
Divergent Herald of Agony 20/20
Elighten 4

4L
Anomalous Vengeance 20/20
Anomalous Cast on Critical Strike 20/20
Anomalous Summon Ice Golem 20/20
Lifetap 20/20

If u want to spare some EX use enlighten lvl 3's and lower levels on precision.

Note that you kinda must use Divergent Herald of Agony to get that corpse explosion 100% chance to inflict poison

Only "Mandatory" item is ashes of the stars. Im going to try without Mageblood aswell. Rest are just rares. In rares look thiese mods:

-Attack speed until 15.18~ish at PoB
-Resistances
-Life

Crafting the dagger:

I spammed speed essences until i got multi with it and free suffix. I locked suffixes and reforged chaos. Hit poison damage. Went with it. Suffixes were done.

After suffixes i locked suffixes again and went for hunter exalt. Result were miserable and i reforged more chaos until i hit hunter chaos mod. After that just slammed 1 ex for the fun of it and crafted "hits cannot be evaded".
