[3.6] Acid Molten Strike Assassin - Uber Elder-viable Poison Build
|
Thoughts on dendrobate instead of belly? Lose 700ish life but gain a bunch of poison damage.

"Cherrubim's is better mostly. Damage ia almost the same, but it has life and better defenses. Lesser poison doesn't do that much and duration isn't worth anything because we have so much already. Builds and Guides:

Intesting build, what about the Impresence amulet and Despair? Perhaps with +1 curse but getting that is nearly impossible... and I like the fact that you also use a blind on hit jewel, pretty awesome to have.
I am currently running a poison assassin build as well but with quill rain - https://pastebin.com/6DrUR9bA . Want to have a look at it and share your thoughts? I am now considering dropping MOM so I can run AA and perhaps drop despair for temp chains as I really like your reasoning in this build. However it's hard to give up life and my weapon does not have 40 life on hit so relying on both the hp/mana from thief's torment makes it feel much better.

"Impresence isn't really needed because Witchfire Brew is a thing and there's plenty of free flask slots in the build. I was thinking about getting a +1 curse Bloodgrip, but dropped it in favor of Fenumus' and an enchanted Starkonja's. Windshriek should fit very well, but they don't have life. I think Quill Rain builds are better off using Volkuur's Guidance and stacking lightning damage (Wrath, Herald of Thunder and Abyss Jewels). You get a lot more frontloaded damage that way because flat lightning is way easier to get than chaos. I'm not sure about Blasphemy on a bow build either. It works here because I'm standing very close to the enemies. You would end up with less total life by dropping MoM, but I think it's ok considering all the bonuses from reserving, plus you can grab a bit more life that way. Builds and Guides:

Hi thanks for sharing.
Trying to make poison work since league start. Been trying bladeflurry but it isnt really working that well atm, so i will try to convert molten strike with that duration flask. This is only my second league (started my poe journey half jan) But is it possible to use temp chains and wither on a target? Because they are both curses and i thought it was only possible to use one curse. |

" I tried the volkuurs lightning poison variant and last league and while it did have more upfront damage I ended up liking a pure poison build more. And yeah with your build I'd say more life is the way to go. Once again a really great build! |

"Wither is not a curse so you can use both. Builds and Guides:

Would you consider using the new loreweave chest to increase max resist or will the loss of life be too much?
|
|
"2% extra max res is only like 8% reduced elemental damage. Belly gives around 11-12% life. Loreeaver has some other stuff but that's very mediocre. The only time where I needed resists was in the the Uber Elder fight, but there it's better to get a Purity of Ice for 4% max res. The only reason I'd use it for is to make maps with -max resists easier. Builds and Guides:
