I wanted to give a short update on my current status of the character, where I am after using it as a league starter (and not being able to play on Monday/Tuesday due to internet problems):
Currently I use Cold Iton Point with Mistwall in all cases, as I got Asenath's Gentle Touch relatively cheap and have therefore poison spread. Also this helps me compensate my low resistances as I did not yet craft a stygian, boots or a ring. The damage suffers a bit compared to 2 Cold Iron Points on bosses, but it was enough for Sirus A7. (Lack of map drops is restricting my progress) Also I was yet too lazy to optimize flasks, so there is some potential wasted, that could be fixed with not much currency. My current equipment:
Spoiler
I want to mention that you can compensate the unaffected by poison, by using a Maw of Conquest as a low cost variation. Maybe you have to use a mana flask, if you get into trouble with mana. Getting the Golden Rule is important for your damage, and be warned the good Watcher's Eyes (unaffected by Poison + Life on Hit) can cost this season more than they used to do. If you have any questions concerning the build, feel free to come by my stream and ask. I'll be happy to help.

" Can you tell me why Golden rule is so important for damage? Also i was able to fit 4 auras and herald with 4 lvl enlighten, max rolled circle of nostalgia and 1 random jewel with reduced mana reserved. | |

"I also need to update the skilltrees again, as I missed the serpentine spellslinger node. Will do so over the weekend."
Has this been done yet? Waiting before I dive in. Last edited by destroyermaker on Jun 27, 2020, 9:39:21 AM

" Serpentine Spellslinger is worked into the build. Also, if you plan to dive in, I suggest the newly added leveling section. I changed up the way I level this league and it went a lot faster with the changes in the first 4 acts. My Video Guides: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHs1z6wAbUQCyZaJnoWYoJ80tHxWA89FA

" During maps you will most likely not notice it, but during bosses the Golden Rule has a good synergy with Noxious Strikes. Noxious Strikes increases the poison duration for each poison applied by you in the last 4 seconds. By having yourself as an additional target you will apply in a single target situation double the amount of poisons applied for Noxious Strikes and therefore you will build up longer lasting poisons on the boss. This leads to a big damage increase by having more stacks of poison active on the boss. My Video Guides: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHs1z6wAbUQCyZaJnoWYoJ80tHxWA89FA

Hey,
still loving your build :) What helmet enchantment do you recommend? Or is none of them worth farming for? TY! | |
" Well, there are some interesting options, but in general it is unlikely to get them, due to the amount of helmet enchants in the game. The options are to go for Blade Vortex and Plague Bearer: Blade Vortex
Spoiler
" This is the biggest pure damage gain. " This is giving us no gain in damage, but allows you to be a bit more lazy for recasting the stacks. " This is a small damage gain, but almost not noticable. " This should give you about +2 to the radius. It is a small help for clearing maps. Plague Bearer
Spoiler
" This is a nice damage gain. It helps with bosses and maps. " It is a small damage gain due to the amount of poison multiplier that we already stacked. My Video Guides: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHs1z6wAbUQCyZaJnoWYoJ80tHxWA89FA
