[3.15] PESTILENT STRIKE PATHFINDER Build. Cheapest & Strongest Poison Build! Deathless Sirus A8

My 40th build! Holy shit dudes, time flies!

Most of the times poison builds are lacking something.. Aoe, single target, tankiness... But this one i think is the golden core of what poison can do. It’s cheap, tanky, fast, and very effective.
Pestilent Strike and Pathfinder have glorious synergy. Pestilent Strike has innate poison proliferation, and Nature’s Reprisal is literally a poison aoe as well. So you don’t need Bino’s or any other poison “gimmicks” to spread poison. With natural Pathfinder’s flask uptime and ailment immunity Coralito’s always working giving over 30% of damage permanently. Not to mention astronomical amount of evasion transformed into armour, making you very tanky and able to facetank a lot of bosses.

Path of building:https://pastebin.com/Cg4h2cbW
IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHILE IMPORTING OR ANY OTHE ERRORS, IT MEANS YOUR POB IS OUTDATED ORIGINAL VERSION THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU NEED A "COMMUNITY FORK" ONE TO MAKE IT WORK:

======================================================================================
4) Early Levelling Gear / Skills
Spoiler

Levelling is mostly COBRA LASH/VENOM GYRE early on and till level 16, when you get Herald of Agony.
Basically any claws + normal levelling gear.
At level 28 you can grab Pestilent Strike and start stacking poison duration.
Then https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Wasp_Nest at level 60 and till the point when you can craft good poison claws.

Great timing on this. Ive league started with Wolfie's Scourge Arrow PF the last two leagues, and I didnt want to go a 3rd time... but i just love poison so much. I was originally going to go Pestilent Strike with a shield when I heard Delirium was in, but after seeing this, I think the higher block with DW could work.

Shield would also work, will be very tanky. But it's hard to skip on that damage

That's because you don't have proper flasks
