[3.25] Poison Assassin Kinetic Blast Totem -with new and unique atlas strategy -updated July 27

real item day 1: https://pobb.in/P0k5U5llTWon
real item day 2: https://pobb.in/cK-2trWlTAbd
can't play on day 3-6, will be back on day 7 and continue to update this post.



Perfect agony is buffed! -> now gives you dot multiplier = 100% of your crit multiplier. Of course, you do zero poison damage when you non-crit -> let's play assassin!

Kinetic Blast is buffed! Attack speed is increased.

Wand is buffed! Most wands have increased base crit chance and attack speed. I think we would use accumulator wand now since it's the most op one atm and it gives us free endurance charges/frenzy charges.


I've crafted a build under this ideas, reaching 28m dps, 246movement speed, with budget gear (5L-covenant, no cluster jewel, crafted wand (easy essence + fractured wand).

Here is the POB: https://pobb.in/jjEW4Devq4ly


leave a comment if you feel it any interesting. I will league start with it and update my progress or even make a Youtube video on it if I receive many likes.

Update on July 26:
Some upgrade directions of build:
1. Instead of using the bad abhorrent interrogation gloves to get the wither buff, you could use the sin's rebirth flask to get unholy might, which after the rework in 3.24, gives you chance to inflict wither on hit.

2. use Asenath's gentle touch glove for explosion -> the explosion damage is physical and can apply poison -> screen-wise clearance without fork/GMP support.

3. get Nimis and replace returning projectile with void manipulating support to get the capped chaos damage of 35,791,394.

4. get a corrupted Asenath's gentle touch glove with despair on hit so you can use both Nimis and circle of nostalgia.

5. get a corrupted Marylene's fallacy with apply an additional curse, so you can reskill 4 passive points. You can either take +2 maximum frenzy charge or
Dire Torment and the corresponding mastery point of +15% ailment duration, they each would give you around 10% more damage.

6. take Fusilade and unskill Depth Perception

A mid-game pob:https://pobb.in/qeEoim8AHnd5

Crafting guide of wand:

1. buy an accumulator wand with fractured T1 crit chance, you can buy other base, but you need at least 12% crit chance (including the increased crit chance suffix) to make this build work.
2. spam envy essence until you get t1 (or t2/t3) phys flat dot.
PS: if you hit t3+ phys inc prefix, you can do whatever you want, such as "Can have up to 3 Crafted Modifiers" + phys dot and crit mulplier, or "prefix cannot be changed" + speed/crit harvest option."
3. prefix cannot be changed ->Aisling
4. reveal phys inc prefix, or attack speed suffix
5. bench craft the other one
6. optionally, exalt orb to hit a crit multiplier or intelligence or resistence, anything is useful, none is fine.

My pob only uses T4 attack speed and T5 crit multiplier.


I'm happy to share the atlas strategy with you, a very unique one:

Ritual + boss rush + wildwood wisp

Let me first explain the theory behind it:
For boss rush players, they normally take destructive play and do Sino, so they don't kill the map boss but can get free maven's witnesses from the additional ones. For ritual players, they sometimes rush to boss ritual first because the scarab can give them 200 more tributes from unique monsters. Wildwood wisp works well with ritual because any monster died with wildwood wisp will respawn with wildwood wisp.

Scarab: 2* "ritual +1 reroll"; 1* "+200 more tributes from unique ritual monsters"; 2* "2000 wild wisps"

You may wonder that destructive play node only summons three bosses when you have cleared almost the full map, so if you rush to boss to ensure the maximum tribute in subsequent rituals, how can you get 3 bosses?

This is how my strategy works:

1. select a map that is short and easy, such as beach, dunes, strand etc.
2. clear anything on the way to the boss, but don't click on any rituals.
3. kill 4 bosses and the boss ritual.
4. quickly go back and click on other rituals.

BD requirement:
1. fast movement +100% ideally +150%
2. high dps to kill maven witnessed bosses (10m+)
3. reasonable AOE range
4. ok survivability

My build shall work perfectly on this-> fast, high dps to 4 bosses (may not be that good to single target boss but good to 4), screen-wise clearance, ok survivability ~35kehp (from elusive, evasion, spell suppression, and totem's kind bodyguard).

leveling?

Looks interesting!

Interesting. Looking forward to updates.

This looks quite neat! Are you triggering the assassin's elusive node with the 0 damage movement skill crits?

Will be interesting to see what you do with this.

Good Luck Fella

Dude im doing your build but a lot of times i die of one shot or a lot of bleeding, you can help me?
https://pobb.in/qg8AK9_lARB0

Hi, first of all, thank you for the interest.

These are some possible improvement you can make. Since you got many advanced items than me, I believe you're experienced to build pursuant to your own preference.

1. you need to cap crit chance so that all hits of your totem can inflict poison. If your totem can't kill monsters fast enough, you may die. Get a diamond flask or bottle of faith.

2. you need a jade flask to get above 15k evasion.- ghost dance benefits from high evasion.

3. you need a proper life flask, we have low life reg. Don't take forbidden taste when you have less than 50 chaos resis, it will kill you.

4. You need to cap your elemental resistance and get at least 20+ chaos resistance (ideally 50+ with the help of watcher's eye jewel)

5. I would recommend you to update your asenath's glove with ones corrupted with curse enemy with despair on hit" (don't get double corrupted with other useless curse) for higher damage, or get a good ring with curse enemy with despair on hit. You need whisper of doom on your passive tree to apply two curses.

6. get more defensive items - one jewel with corrputed blood cannot be inflict on you.

7. Choose to help Alira if you haven't done so.

8. you need a way to get elusive buff, maybe from withering step, you need elusive buff to mitigate extra damage from enemies crit strike. you can also take the mastery : poisoned enemy cannot critical strike as elusive buff may not have 100% up time.

9. replace circle of nostalgia with some good ring with 120+ element resistance, including 25+ chaos resistance.

10. If you still cannot survive, try to get a good evasion base helmet, with high life/resistance/evasion/accuracy. You would lose 16% damage from additional totem but can get more defense

11. take more life nodes in the tree, like what I do in my pob below.


12. i assume your wand can't give you consistent endurance charges. you can get endurance charge by enduring cry( not recommended) or a smaller cluster jewel node: Enduring Composure. 3 enduring charges can give you 12% less elemental damage and 12% more phy damage reduction (apply to dot damage).


13. arrogance + vitality setup


Other possible improvements:
1. since you use purity of elements, you don't need immune to freeze on boots, you can get onslaught freely there.

2. you need a way to apply wither debuff on enemies, this is huge damage inc, I would either use wither touch support or use the sin's rebirth flask.

3. you may want to take the accuracy mastery : +500 accuracy - 2 per level to cap your hit chance. Or you can use arrogance + precision.


My 2nd day gear FYR (much worse than yours):https://pobb.in/nKKisJWUcXzK

very thanks mate for all the help i gonna try to update you a little on your post my poebuild. I hope can rework my characte with your suggests.


very thanks for help!!

League started with it on a whim.
switched to kinetic blast totem asap, don't do it, better hexblast until you get to maps and get covenant or jewel with chaos damage or 50% crit at least.

overall its good, all screen fast mapper, juiced t16/17 maps without problems(no regen and monster avoid poison only mods to avoid)
surprisingly its no so squishy as pob says - im farming deli/harbringer/beyond and max few death(evasion build)
killed bosses for all voidstones and 6 slots, map bosses are no broblem even with wisp keystone.

but
i dont think i can kill feared, ubers, t17 map bosses(on regular), simulacrum, and didnt test blight maps(but blight mech on usual maps was terrible, so)
problem is poison itself, squishy totems and squishy you with low regen/only 2 layers of defense.

actually here to say thanks for the build, maybe it was not so smooth as hexblast, but i long wanted to play poison and kinetic blast .It was satisfying.

Thinking on 99lvl make a little rebuild with big cluster wand attack to get swift killer, so we can sustain all charges on all time.
