[3.13] Power Siphon/Kinetic Blast Poison Assassin - Very fast and tanky poison wander

This is a great guide that combines my two favourite things: kinetic blast, and poison. I was really excited to try this build and as a league starter the guide has helped me gear up and play to white/early yellow maps. I know I'm missing a lot of the gear, and my gem's aren't level 20 yet, but can you look at my character and tell me what I should build to next? My character is decently tanky using atziri's mirror instead of mistwall (can't afford one), and I can clear quite well, but I'm finding my single target to be really lacking. Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated, thanks again for the wonderful guide!

What do you think of the new Replica Mistwall? instead of max block for attack, it has +75% with Spell Block, would you prefer it more than the original Mistwall?

I think as soon as you get some reliable blind for attack mitigation blind, evade and dodge take good care of attacks. So getting a Spell Block mistwall to improve the mitigation of spells sounds very nice. Especially since spells are somewhat rarer so the max block should be active more often.

"Pro" tip: if you cannot kill bosses even with your Enduring mana flask charges, grab a Poacher's mark, it'll help a ton with mana sustain until you get your -cost and other goodies going. Plague bearer is also a nice QoL there.

What do you think about the alternative quality Power siphon and Kinetic Blast? "Fires an additional Projectile" and "+20% to Damage over Time Multiplier for Ailments from Critical Strikes" looks good for Power Siphon while I think "Projectiles Pierce 2 additional Targets" would be decent clear speed buff for Kinetic Blast?

Yea, the alt quals are very nice and definitely something to aim for. I would go for dot multi over +1 proj on power siphon.

is there really no better notables on large? or are those best

What sources of poison deal damage faster can we get and what do you think about Dendrobate in this build?

There is an alternate quality Vile Toxins which gives 5% faster damage, also the medium cluster jewel notable which is hard to roll 0.3% chance.

I'm currently using Dendrobate 5L which is working nicely. Depending on how the build ends up feeling in end game. I have most of the defensive layers incl +40 life gain on hit on my rings. Only things missing now is blind on hit and kintsugi.
