Can you give us a bit of a run down on your current setup? The clear speed is abysmal now :/ Also a link to your tree would help.

Not too sure how I'm going to have to change mine tbh.

I'm trying my best to stick to the principle of Bino's poison spell caster without it feeling gimicky. I want to run a few more T10+ maps and an get in an Atziri kill before I feel confident the new set up is working, but here is how I'd respecc your tree keeping regrets to a minimum.

Hey! I got a lot of ideas from your thread, so thanks. I've just finished putting up my guide for making a tanky ED character. You can find it here - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1536096 Feedback is welcome. :)

In my opinion abyssal cry is currently the way to go with that kind of build, clear speed is nice, bosses surrounded by adds are mostly oneshoted by overlaping abyssal cry explosions. Single target... Wither + spell totem and it's not that bad. Today I did 2x atziri and it was rather a smooth experience. Definitely, I'll play with that build from time to time and I'll try to make some improvements to that character.

That gloves also look tempating, but I'll have to do something with resistances.

I'm using abyssal cry with poison, inc. aoe and void manipulation support gems.

Hi Jansos, u mind posting your skill tree and gears..here is mine



thanks.

Currently I'm using 5l carcass jack, esssence drain damage over time is 14,7k. 4,6 k hp is also a reasonable amount for that build. I dropped cast when stunned setup, I'm not getting stuned often. I'm not using contagion very often too - abyssal cry + essence drain combo is enough (but I found contagion to be usefull on fracture maps). Some of these items have mastercrafted useless mods for that build, because I got them from another characters (I'm too lazy to change them).

Jewel sockets seem to be really usefull - I'll try to roll some decent jewels for that build.


Edit: 1up1up1, why are you using slower projectiles? Controlled destruction gem is better in terms of damage and it doesn't slow essence drain projectile.

I've posted the build I transitioned into after the 2.1.1B fix:

Bino's Kitchen Blade Fall

is this hc viable?
