Shadow - [3.6] Acid Molten Strike Assassin - Uber Elder-viable Poison Build - Forum

Or we will know this only with patch notes? I don't think it scales with poison the gem doesn't have poison as a key word. only Spell, Herald, minion. but i still think it might be good to look at since with this build we apply a lot of poison fast. might be worth using if you don't have aspect of the spider also.

Or we will know this only with patch notes? That's what I was planning to do on the Fenumus version. For Volkuur's I'm not sure yet, I'll have to wait for the exact numbers on the skill and what else is to be added. The pet will only scale with minion passives and items. However due to the way Virulence works it's both inefficient and unnecessary to get those (on this build). The only way you could scale it well is with gems, which would increase the mana reservation. It's usually impossible to tell how good minions are until you can try them out, which is why I probably won't link it to anything in the guide.

Yo! What do you think about Pathfinder rework? The Master Toxist with 100% more poison dmg sems to be really good!	Posted by Brenovisky on Aug 28, 2018, 2:55:42 PM Quote this Post

PF is pretty nice, but I still think Assassin is much better for this build. I'll do a detailed comparison once the patch hits, so you can decide for yourself.

How do you think the changes to Fatal Toxins and Toxic strikes will affect the build? 80% poison dmg decrease.	Posted by Xemos27 on Aug 28, 2018, 10:32:08 PM Quote this Post

Did you account for the increased chaos damage added instead in that 80% reduction? PoB has updated with new tree data, damage looks pretty much the same.

I imagine switching to an ancestral protector setup as its now attack based in application. Which, if wording of new withering touch works the same as old wither when applied, is another buff.

I'm done with the update, tree changes add around 6% more damage at the same level. Add the bonus from level 20 HoA on top and that's the buffed damage. Builds and Guides: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2198879	Posted by SHEPUUURD on Aug 29, 2018, 5:29:38 AM Quote this Post
