[3.11] Poison Blade Vortex Assassin (Carried me to level 100 / delve 600+ / Aul / Sirus A8 viable)

No more 'unaffected by poison' ... there goes golden rule out of the window.
Cluster jewel and pantheon node are not unusable for this build. The Cluster Jewel only gives chaos res and +1 max, the pantheon now only allows for 5 poison stacks and we can't be poisoned further, which means we are stuck with just 5 stacks, not 100 for bosses. The only options is a watchers eye .. unless they changed that mod too. Last edited by Yahira#1053 on Jun 17, 2020, 9:24:01 PM

" Well, then we have to go back to Watcher's Eye again for being able to use the Golden Rule. Using Shakari is in my opinion still not that viable for the Golden Rule, as it would lead to less than 10 poison stacks applied by you in a 4 second window. And that is an optimistic guess, as it is a little bit more complicated. I will during the day change the sections in the guide. |

Hello does your passive tree updated already?
|
|
|
All trees (and PoBs) are updated to 3.11
It may be possible, that you also have the 3.9 Trees in the PoB save, as a comparison. Last edited by exultheinsane#5487 on Jun 18, 2020, 5:11:25 AM

Watcher's Eye is the only solution to use Golden Rule.
I just tested it, even with decent chaos res, 2 stacks of self poisoning kill me in less then a second, with all buffs off. Someone completely forgot Golden Rule while addressing the 'ailment immunity'. I understand the need to remove immunity to damage types, but at the same time they destroyed a mechanic they purposefully implemented. - Because there is a difference in 'unaffected', 'cannot be X' and and 'immune'. |

what about using an ed bow in this build?
|
|
" Well, it is possible and should work good, as those builds share a good amount of important stats. But I prefer to increase the gem level of BV with the Cold Iron Points or have the spread by either Obliteration explosions or Bino's Kitchen Knife for mapping. |

Have you also considered the nerf to the rings? max reduction to mana reservation req is now 20% instead of 40%.
I believe we will have to drop an aura. Edited amount of new max. "Circle of Fear, Nostalgia, Regret, Anguish and Guilt: The randomly generated Herald Modifiers now grant 15-20% reduced Reservation Cost of their respective Heralds (from 30-40%), and 40-60% increased Buff Effect of their respective Heralds (from 70-100%). I wonder what would happen if you used a Divine Orb on these. Try it and let us know." Last edited by SM3ARK#5659 on Jun 18, 2020, 10:33:12 PM

" I oversaw those, when I did the patch notes check. I just updated the endgame tree and it still works with all auras, but it gets more expensive. We need now a level 4 Enlighten and one of the mana reservation nodes. Also I needed to switch Herald of Agony with Vitality, as the Helmet provides reduced mana reservation. |

Is this a good SC starter? Will I want to kill myself while leveling? Or is it quite smooth?
