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

yes. there is a difference between total damage per poison and poison DPS. the DPS is way more important. the total damage gets higher with increased poison duration which is also very good but you'll reach a point where poison duration does not matter anymore because everything is dead before the dmg kicks in really hard.

if i hit minotaur with my current build, i can hardly reach my maximum dpss. he just dies before the poison stacks reach their max duration.
its the same with bosses that have invulnerable phases. they get untargetable/immune to dot and all the juicy poison duration won't matter.
so while this build has insane amounts of top end damage, it's really hard to get those numbers running ingame. and the more poison duration we have, the more unrealistic it gets.

this build has still absolutely insane amounts of damage and downs every content except uber elder within 2-4 seconds besides invulnerable phases of course.

My damage seems lower than it should be, unless I'm missing something. Would appreciate some input.

I do need a 6L, but that's going to take some time.

Mapping feels great, pulling 200m-400m per hour depending on the map (t6-t9)

Sacro, since the build has been changed from Ranger Pathfinder to Shadow Assassin are you going to move this to the Shadow section? If so, please just post in this thread a link to your new thread. :-)

BTW, thanks for the fun build!

just noticed that the poison build of the ranger had disappeared and was replaced by that of an assasin's builds .. but my question is is that the build ranger / pathfinger is still viable for the 3.2? .. because I really like the poison build that my friend had done last season ..

build seems good. your jewels have a lot of room for improvement (i know it's expensive), that's where you can improve your dps.
i don't like life flasks for this build. you could get a silver flask. get immune to bleeding and freeze on your non unique flasks. dying sun is an obvious upgrade for you. taste of hate helps survivability.
you can boost your single target dmg with additional barrage arrows ( helmet enchant, quiver, dying sun)

assassin is way better in 3.2 than pathfinder. i do recommend going assassin instead of pathfinder!!!

Do you think that going kaoms heart is legit if i can afford 2 bows and 2 quivers? Or mom version is still better.

kaom's heart is legit but you'd have to invest into %inc life on tree to make it worth. the tree would look different. i'm not sure how much ehp you get with kaoms. in terms of offense/defense cloak seem really good.

the current maximum projectile calculation does not work in pob- it calcs only 8 arrows ( just gmp)

the build has +1 barrage enchant, +1 arrow on quiver and dying sun, so actually 12 arrows.
if you regard 1 projectile ( 1.648.663,4 dps) * 8 = ~13 mil; 1.648.663,4 dps * 12 = ~20 mil

Nice to see this build improving Sacro keep up the good work...


i love the EPEN title...... all those POB warrior... But but but look at my XXXXX Million of dmg on POB
