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

For Blade Vortex and Plague Bearer the alternate qualities seem not useful, but for Herald of Agony they look good.

The alternate Precision could outclass Skitterbots, but I will have to try it out in PoB.


Sorry that I probably will not manage to include alternate quality gems before leaguestart, but I also need to do at least one test run this evening to determine, if my leaguestarter could work. (This stupid bet about not starting as BV, chaos or poison build is suddenly a lot more work than expected)

Just saw that there was a nerf to Circle of Nostalgia's Mana reservation reduction(30-40>15-20). With how vitality works now it probably wont be an issue since it gives us more leeway and we'll probably get more life-regen out of the deal either way.

Even a not fully leveled Vitality should outperform the pre 3.12 version, as we don't go for a huge lifepool.
I find this gives a lot of flexibility.

Seams like nice build! How is the defence?

I reached 2 times level 100 with it, so dying wasn't an option.

You still have to play mechanics, for example Sirus can kill you with his DIE-Laser, but all the standard content, including juiced maps, feels safe.

Alright i understand. Will try this as league starter for heist :)

I am thinking about this build as a stater (I will definitely play some DoT build, my options are this guide, Attack Pathfinder or Bow Bleed glad).

I'm just wondering a build with so many unique is a good starter option? Coin is that you don't need a good crafting as in the case of an attack build.

Another thing is Golden Rule, how to sustain it? And isn't it that before we stack a poison on ourselves, it doesn't go on the target?

Most unique items are not mandatory, boss drops and unique items can be farmed.

About the golden rule, go for unaffected by poison, immune to poison won't work. Unaffected by poison will give you stacks but won't damage you. Immune to poison doesn't give you stacks so the jewel doesn't work.

Look for unnaffected by poison on the https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Poison

Example:

Watcher's eye with unaffected by poison with Malevelance

Other choice Maw of Conquest

Shoul of Shakari for that?

help me please, i am killed by mobs in 4 act xd what is wrong with my character? I have 75 resistors.

I just got warned at my stream that there might be a problem with Asenath's Gentle touch that their damage could be hitting the player too.

I can't personally confirm or deny the bug, just a fair warning!

Hello good sir, first I want to thank you very much for this amazing build I've reached level 97 (my highest so far) and had a lot of fun playing it, Anyhow, Since the new league started (patch 3.12) I've been experiencing something very weird and it's driving me insane, I tried a couple of maps and I keep randomly getting 1 shotted with no clear reason why, sometimes after all the mobs die I'm randomly dead, sometimes I get 1 shotted by white packs (Which shouldn't be possible, I have you know I'm used to run juiced up tier 16 maps with no problems at all) does anyone know what's causing this issue?

How do we handle mana issues in early levels? I use Malevolence and Blasphemy+Dispair and my mana is very low. There seems no sources of mana gain or I 'm blind. Please help !

And another quesion - is this build multi-button one? So I have to press Blade Vortex, Plague Bearer, Flame Dash, Shield Charge, Spell Totem ?
