[3.0]Assassin Second Stage 3M+ POISON DPS Viper Strike theory

Actually this is just a theory in beta,I've try it in beta,and i just think that the AoE of this build is just a joke,so I've already give up on this build after beta,and I haven't check this post after that.

I am very surprised that such many people will try this,pm me for help, and even push this build in to the first page...

Anyway,what i want to say is that,during and after beta,many things have change,and the DPS will be much more lower then during beta,maybe like 800-1200K sth like that,i just click on PoB very quickly so maybe it's not very accurate.

and there are some people have updated this build in the page 4&5 in this post,maybe you guys could check it out and make some upgrade for it.

5.Survival

Abyssus properly have much higher dmg,

and with about 5K+ life will pretty one shot by some Bosses

but we have very high eva & dodge chance and 10% block

with Path of Building Cal the total avoid chance on level 80 monster are

1.Normal Fight(/w Flask,Aura)

Melee Avoid Chance:72%

Projectile Avoid Chance:97%

2.Boss Fight(/w Vaal Grace)

Melee Avoid Chance:86%

Projectile Avoid Chance:98%

That's mean you nearly not taking any dmg because they are not even have chance to hit you.

Blasphemy + Temp Chains should provide a lot of safety and increased damage (compared to Haste).
It makes your poison last longer so you can stack it higher & it slows enemies to a crawl.

I've also been working on a Viper Strike build for 3.0:
https://pastebin.com/qzCUnLvx

176% life + MoM (5.5k life & 1.7k unreserved mana) with mediocre gear.

Can change Brutality for Melee Splash to map clear. Along with Bino's should work pretty well.

Did you try to take the Poison notes in Duelist Area? They have been huge dps increases for my PoB 3.0 Poison Builds.

in Path of building cal,because the duration increase,so that the max stack is increase for many,so the max poison dps will have a huge upgrade,

but Viper strike already have very high duration of poison that you need to attack for 8sec to full stack the poison,

and too much duration seems to be a waste of it,because you don't even attack than much time.

and go for duelist way will sacrifice many life note that I already not have that much.

Nice, thanks for this. Have already been leveling a poison focused assassin to test the new gems and this gave me a few ideas I had not considered before.

Shame we only get 4 ascendancy points at the moment. I assume getting Toxic Delivery with those 4 and using an alternative way to generate Power Charges would be the best way to go, right?

Also, your pastebin is not updated to the change away from Haste+Soul Taker to Lycosidae. Just FYI in case you forgot about it :)

Actually we could just test the leveling in this patch.without bino's the viper strike AoE is just a disaster while compare sth like bladefall.....

and Yep, Toxic Delivery always will be the first that we grab.

and pastebin updated
