The most important part of the build. The flasks make the build what it is. I chose to run two Vinktars, the second is a backup. If you can't afford the lightning penetration version, the adds x-y to attacks version is okay. You can play this build as soon as you have one Vinktar's. Use a granite of iron skin or rumi until you get taste of hate, and then get a second Vinktar's.


I play with a claw I found, but you could play with a dagger. In fact a dagger is better. The MGOH is completely redundant after you get a Vinktar flask.


For 5L drop faster attacks. A vaal regalia would be better, but would cost 400-500 chroms to color.


Enlighten 2 helps. Accuracy is almost a must have if you can't get it on rings (it's also cheaper to get gloves with accu than rings with accu, flat phys and wed). Before you get enlighten 2 take heart & soul at witch to help with mana. Could be Maligaro's or facebreaker if I could solve resists.


These curses make our life really easy. Asn mark gives PCs and helps us crit. Poacher reduces evasion (we don't have to worry about accu on gear), grants FCs, and most importantly grants 100% increased flask charges gained.


The idea is to use the insane leech from Vinktar with the Retch to get about 60% more damage, but it seems to not be working ATM. Discussion here. If the retch's leech as damage mechanic doesn't work we're better off using a rare belt with WED and reduced flask charges used.




Since we're hybrid we might as well go CoE and get spell damage on our shield. I think it's also completely fine to go with a rare helm and non-spell damage shield. It would easily get more ES as well as open the possibility to easily use maligaros (resists are tough on this build).


Flat phys and WED and resists.

The trees are similar and pretty much dictated by what we need. Primal Spirit and Druidic Rite are needed so we don't hate ourselves in curse immune maps (when Poacher's Mark doesn't work). Double curse is needed so we can run Poacher's Mark which grants us 100% increased flask charges gained (the main reason for using it), but it also grants us Frenzy charges, and makes enemies have less evasion. Combined with an assassin's mark this is like a "reverse enfeeble." Within these parameters hybrid life+es for survivability provides a easy and good solution.

Inspired by Gudda's flask effect archetype. Also thanks to Sherkhan, Languidness, and VarthDaver for advice and ideas.
