I'm in early maps with dual obliterations and just normal and cruel labs done. Got the poison ascendency and mistwalker, damage is great for clear but single target is lacking.

I currently have the dark pact spell slinger setup in the tabula and the skeletons in a +2 to minion gems helm with minion life. Mana reservation is a real problem with this sort of setup; if I could have my 4L bladevortex in AoE gloves with another spellslinger, my single target would be great, but there's no way I can reserve that much. So right now I just have a 4L BV setup as self-cast with unleash. I also have unlinked frenzy and power siphon to get power and frenzy charges but that's clunky AF.

I'm starting to think that a bladeblast-focused poison delivery build with spellslinger on both bladefall, BV, and maybe bladeblast on self-cast would be better but not sure yet. That'd be a pretty different tree since I've gotten quite a few minion life nodes already...

I think this whole idea might be kinda SoL because dark pact is already an insanely fast spell, casting-wise, so supporting it with spellslinger just doesn't make all that much sense. Gonna try to push it a bit further before I decide that for reals though.

I will say it's incredibly fun to see "big" poisons instead of just lots of tiny ones.
