*Updated for 3.2* Volkuur's poison! millions of dps (7.5 mil shaper - 20 mil shaper GG gear)
" yes, thats the GG version. you need life on your jewels to make that version work. if you do not have double flat damage+life jewels, belly is worse than cloak. |
|
" you'd replace volkuurs to the correct version, all jewels to lightning, and immolate/added lightning dmg support. |

sacr0,
do you agree with the skyforth? also blind-on-hit jewels have a small % chance to blind. I was thinking I could use something from my old poison builds like but I wasnt sure if I could find a way to add those into the build or if those would even be useful i vaguely remember someone using point blank for absolute maximum poison dps for bosses but again wasnt sure if that would be preferable |
|
" thanx for the feedback, i've addressed the mana since then. another questions, is the maloney's fine with the +1 arrow or is a rare quiver still better? |
|
" snakebite wont work with volkuurs ;) if you use skyforth, cloak would be a good idea for the mana value. skyforth is overall nice to have, but you might have problems getting enough resists. i think 2 abyssal bubonic trail should be better. point blank does not work with poison after the 3.0 poison changes. blind on hit jewels with the small blind chance are more than enough for high as quill rain builds. if you plan on using your mirrored bow, it might not work out that well. i'm not even sure if that bow is better than quill rain for this build. |

I'm enjoying the build. Thank you Sacr0!
I seemed to be dying most frequently to getting frozen. So I've started using a quicksilver of heat flask. Perhaps I missed something else though in my build that would better mitigate freezing?

" With that amazing bow, you should check out what the Physical to Lightning Support gem would buy you. Of course then you'd have to switch to lightning from fire.

@turtledove
thats a great suggestion, it boosted my dps but i still have more dps with the signal fire as opposed to any other quiver. my bow damage breakdown is 50% of bow converts to lightning because phys to light support (+30% extra damage) 50% of bow phys converts to fire cuz signal fire (+27% extra damage) so i think my dps is boosted because of both the +57% extra damage. idk how well this scales for poison. 20% chance to poison versus 100% chance to poison if i'm at max frenzy charge. i cant help but feel like these gloves are being overlooked because it says "attacks poison" if "attacks poison" then wouldnt i be getting a translation of volks that would be "100% of attacks poison"? its not changing the build. im only changing the rate at which enemies are being poisoned XD I feel like it hits a massive dps spike because now 100% of the time things are being poisoned as opposed to only 20% of the time. and these gloves are the pillar of the build. im gonna try it because the last poison build I tried used those gloves as build enabling and i can ditch the despair for another defense aura. just a thought, im not trashing the build im just theory crafting other viable opportunities |

So I bitched about the rings being hard to get and RNGesus just told me to shut my whore mouth...
Got two cheap rings with 4 mods each and annulled for shits and giggles. Then I shat myself. |

" To get it to scale for poison you would need to convert your gloves to volkuur lightning gloves or use the snakebite. If snakebite then you'll need to make sure you have a good way to get frenzy charges or use the Pacifism jewel trick mentioned here https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Snakebite I'm really not very familiar with poison. This is my first poison build. Any here's what it says about poison. " https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Poison So that would indicate that the physical to lightning gem would only be good with volkuurs. If going with snakebite then physical damage would be better. edit: Note that a big advantage of volkuur over snakebite is that boosting elemental damage is very easy but boosting physical or chaos damage is relatively much harder.
