Hello, I am interested in making this build, however I am concerned when watching the sample videos and reading comments. It appears single target dps is quite bad.

I have an idea to modify the build in this way:
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAIBABcmeoTQrUHQAAZieRX2m40ILu2DGY4AXtN-fXX-uhjbH0Hveu4Oa5AtTS9yEvF313SgBqIX3AYgFHVbrw2Nh3bjn0p9TipM_yPTj2BvJ5pqQzHyRTrh2L3-CsMzWhrawXTtBS167y5T02--p2VNvTZHfoTZpldN4_6PNZKjiiP2TZKNfTB8UUc-z73mN9TtP-dUJP3_3o2_BbXUIzBx3ahLeDpCwuy0xWKsbIydqgzypcs2PetjES8rCm87XfIqC3BSidOMNlVLYeImlRa_tfJ4DcAaAx7EorvjqW534wHckApqkxm0u56TmS4j_MU=

You will notice Dirty Tricks for DoT damage, Sniper for extra projectile speed and damage, and a lack of any elemental damage.

The idea is to switch to chaos damage, and use poison scaling. With a few gem and gear changes I think this may solve the problem.

For the main attack, run: Frost Blades - Faster Attacks - Multistrike - Added Chaos Damage - Void Manipulation - Increased Critical Strikes
The sixth link could possibly be Culling Strike, etc.

Then simply wear the unique Snakebite gloves for free poison (hits poison while at maximum frenzy charges).

These changes also allow a few other modifications. For example, the use of defensive auras, or curses on Blasphemy (such as Temporal Chains and Assassin's Mark); and a Wither totem for boss damage scaling. Notice that the ascendancy is moved also from Avatar of the Veil, to Avatar of the Chase (from Phasing to Onslaught tree). With the use of the Perseverance belt, maintaining Fortify also allows permanent Onslaught, allowing flask changes. Other gearing options are also allowed, as one no longer needs flat ele + weapon ele % on every piece. For example, crafting jewelry with Essence of Envy (provides increased chaos damage). For additional poison scaling, many sources of added flat physical damage to attacks are available.
And of course, reflect damage becomes a non-issue, and there is room for Vaal Pact if desired.

Let me know what you think! Has anyone tried something similar for this build? Is anyone willing to? Otherwise I plan to do this after finishing my current experiment (Slayer Champion SRS with Blood Magic...)
