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

" Infiltrator wrote: Would a rare, fossil rolled helm work as best in slot? I am not 100% sure if modifiers differ based on item type, but a helmet can lower the chaos resistance of nearby enemies (rolled -9% myself), which should boost damage by a huge margin, right? On top of that, I think it wouldn't be that hard to roll some life/resist or even more desired fossil modifiers considering how you can have a more deterministic approach to crafting now. Yep, should be the best option right now if you can manage to get good life/res rolls.

And hysteria life on hit rings lol :) gotta have an infinite crafting goal to go with infinite dungeons Elder is mainly for life on hit, you can craft added chaos or fire (Volkuur's) for a small bonus. Hysteria rings aren't worth it imo; only a small amount of your damage comes from physical, the majority is added chaos/fire.

Hey im currently playing a pathfinder version of this build switching from a caustic arrow/toxic rain attempt and i just fiddled in PoB to see how much worse it is... and i was shocked really. The assassin having somewhere around 900k dps with balls and a pathfinder with all the same gear and passives almost having around 70k. Did i do something wrong in PoB or is pathfinder just not worth playing, since it seems to me that this much dmg would outweigh the perma flasks and reduced ele dmg taken ?

Most of this build's damage comes from stacking poison duration via Noxious Strikes. It might work on Pathfinder, but I don't think it's going to be good. I have a pretty long comparison in my update log. Builds and Guides: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2198879	Posted by SHEPUUURD on Sep 3, 2018, 3:14:27 PM Quote this Post

why do we use Lycosidae? Would a Vagans Foild with "Hits can't be Evaded" not be better?	Posted by iDT on Sep 3, 2018, 5:21:57 PM Quote this Post

The Vagan mod is local to the weapon, not global. This means that if you dual-wield them, you'll first hit with Wasp Nest (which can miss) and after that with the Foil (which would do very little damage because it would probably have bad stats).
