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

Did the normal lab and and into act 4 now. moving along nicely but bow builds do level easily. was doing ice shot but now switched to TS and barrage. lot of work to do on the gear yet though but plenty of time for that.
haven't ever done a Dot build before so not sure just how it all works but will get it figured out. Will prolly go fire on the gloves as i seem to be pretty poor in this league for some reason...

Im currently at 4.2k life using tabula. Will using kaom's heart get me to 5k life? I would just use another 6l quill in wep swap. Or would COD/MOM be better ?

edit: Yup kaoms got me to 5.5k Life .. Deathless yellow elder.. Im happy

Made an Assassin PoB for anyone wanting to run Assassin:

Picks up a bit more mana for MoM survivability (Thief's Torment gives mana too :D) and pathing is quite a bit different. Assassin damage is literally ridiculous, and I'm hitting estimates of
12M+ SHAPER DPS. The 'increased duration per poison applied recently' is INSANELY overpowered with a high APS Barrage setup. We can also use Swift Afflction instead of Unbound Ailments because of the ridiculous amount of poison duration we get, (16 SECOND MAX DURATION!)

Currently leveling it right now, and will report back with my findings on how well this tree works.

Looks pretty good, I've settled on this tree https://pastebin.com/jS1GzM6a , do note that I have everything unchecked.

If you're doing a fire variant of this build, I would recommend putting chance to ignite support in your ice shot setup and immolate in your barrage setup. It's a really big bump in damage.

Edit: Here's a revised version of my theorycraft build that uses Xanthochroid's upper tree path and immolate: https://pastebin.com/vwMfp2GC

Looks pretty solid.
I managed to squeeze out like 500 more life and more dps than yours, but when we're talking them both being 10M+ Shaper DPS the difference doesn't matter at all.

Noxious strike is quite possibly the most overpowered node in the game.
In my setup I have 12 projectiles on barrage fired at 5.79 per second, which means 69.48 poison stacks applied per second, and 277 stacks applied recently. At 5% duration per stack applied recently we get 1,389% increased poison duration, which essentially acts as 1,300% MORE multiplier. One node literally gives 1 point three thousand percent more damage. I would honestly not be surprised in the least if it got nerfed to hell.


More attacks = More Stacks = More Duration = Even More Stacks

It's actually ridiculous.

So i've been running uber with a different build and I hit 40% inc Ice Shot duration enchant. I'm curious if the increased duration of ice shot will apply to the poison?

Would the Voltaxic rift bow be better than a quil rain?

It's a small increase in dps per poison, but it would take longer to get poison stacks, so it's quite a big loss in overall damage. I could see it being better for mapping though.

Currently doing pretty well with gearing



Still unsure if I'm going to get Maligaro's necklace, it depends on what my resistances are like after Act 10 and a helmet replacement.

I still don't see how you guys are blinding on hit for maloneys quiver?
