*Updated for 3.2* Volkuur's poison! millions of dps (7.5 mil shaper - 20 mil shaper GG gear)

This build has nutty dps, and then I went and got a Vintkars. Holy frack. I recommend you ditch your staunching life flask for mapping, only need a staunching life flask for uber lab. RNG permitting of course. Stay out of caustic clouds and what not.

Which trees would I have to follow after going the Pathfinder route ? I was unsure so I just went with Nature's boon first.
you should take master herbalist first, it's the best. after that, go for nature's boon and master alchemist.

I'm wondering if anyone has played this build during the league and is willing to donate their jewels so that I can give it a go before the league ends in 12 days? I am currently almost level 50 and there aren't any people left selling jewels that aren't just insanely expensive. I have currency, but the lack of availability is super discouraging currently. Hopefully one of you who doesn't play standard will have some jewels or something they can spare for me to give this a go. If no one answers, that isn't a big deal, I wasn't planning on begging, but I bought most of the gear and now I'm realizing that my attempt is becoming impossible.
Hey, so I had a quick question. I have the build on POB, and I plugged in Burning Arrow over Ice Shot just to see, and it had ~100k poison DPS increase. I was wondering if you'd tested this or tried or and what you thought
I tested flame arrow and as another poster pointed out it’s not nearly as good as ice shot for aoe clear speed. Although you might be able to change the build a bit and try something like a drillneck quiver and maybe something like volley instead of chain shot. Not sure how well that would work though.
burning arrow is far worse than ice shot. it is meant to be our aoe clear while barrage is the single target damage. ice shot has an aoe cone that explodes for each enemy hit. with gmp+chains, thats a lot of aoe explosions. burning arrow only hits 1 enemy per arrow and has no aoe.

This build is getting a good buff through the assassin buff :D Attack speed is now really rewarded with the 5% duration per recent poison stack!

You're going to destroyyyy bosses.

edit: actually i forgot this build was a pathfinder... I wonder if it's worth to switch now. I guess we'll see when we get the pathfinder rework.

yeah the new noxious strikes seems incredibly overpowered. imagine a 10-arrow barrage with 6 attacks/second. thats 240 poison stacks over the last 4 seconds. thats 5%*240= 1200% inc poison duration. thats insane. thats absolutely sick. i cant even describe how fking op that is. in addition to that, it adds 40% chance to poison. and up to 2% base crit XD this ascendancy point alone is better than any existing ascendancy class regarding this build.

toxic delivery gives another decent dmg boost.

opportunist for some ms/clearspeed and boss dmg.

aaaaaand unlimited power charge generation.

i can see the dps skyrocketing in 3.2.

I saw the new Assassin and immediately thought of something with the ele poison gloves with mad attack speed. And then I found your build guide. Such nice work dude! I can certainly see this getting out of control in 3.2 if assassin stays as the way it is revealed.

I'm considering using Perfect Form+Vaal grace for some defense, since assassin can pretty easily cap poison chance now w.o dendrobate. Instead of travel to the top left for EO and MoM, we can probably grab more life and jewel sockets on the right side of the tree.
