Other Jewels:

Note that the skill will drain your Life flask charges. Getting flasks with more charges is your best bet. Take one with 50% instant heal and anti-bleed.

We scale up poison damage and a variety of defenses to build up a pleasant playstyle.

Gameplay:

Leveling:

Mapping:

Shield: Higher rolls go more expensive but it's usually around 3d;

Body Armour: Around 5d.

Belt: Higher life and resistances are expensive and can be around 10-15d but a 3~4d belt could be enough;

Helmet: Around 4-5d;

Boots: Around 1d for ones with a useful implicit;

Gloves: Less than 1d for ones with +1 Frenzy charge corruption;

Amulet: Around 6d + 2d for anointments;

Rings: The Profane proxy is around 1d with decent rolls. The rare ring can be around 3~4d.

Jewels:

-The Brutal Restraint should be around 1d;

-Forbidden Jewels: Very cheap. 150c for both;

-Watcher's eye can be different based on your choice of mods. I got mine for 7d.


Skill and Support Gems: By average all gems should be around 2~3d. Make sure you get Divergent Poisonous concoction because this is how we apply the Withered debuff.
Buying all best quality type and awakened gems can add up approximately 10 divines. Additionally, for maximizing the DPS, the Awakened Greater Multiple Projectiles and the Ramako Makanga tattoo can each add 1 projectile to the concoction but they are really expensive (20d for the AGMP and 8d for the tattoo).

OVERALL BUDGET: between 40 and 60 divine orbs.

Good:
-Easy gameplay with very high defenses;
-Good clear speed and single target;
-Good for Expeditions and Heists;
-Maps with Reflect don't matter;
-Very viable for hardcore.

Bad:
-Poisons don't kill instantly.

-Most of the Spell suppression tattoos are not mandatory. I recommend finding a body armour with bonus to spell suppression;

-Versatile Combatant and Iron Reflexes Keystones are each literally 1 point away if you want to use either of them;

-The Devouring diadem is a perfect choice to have access to the Eldritch Battery keystone. It also provides enough energy shield in contribution with the Atziri's Reflection to sustain the skill's cost. But we would lose other stats like Life, Spell Suppress chance, etc. by taking this helmet;

-Keep in mind that there's a game limit for Damage Over Time that a target can take which is approximately 36m DPS, and damage scaling above that number is redundant;

-The skill can be played with Greater Multiple Projectiles but it's recommended to switch to Lesser Multiple Projectiles when you reach the DoT threshold to avoid draining life flask charges unnecessarily;

-Note that Plaguebearer cannot be affected directly by any damage support gem but rather by gems like Empower, Enhance, Increased AoE.
