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

Can this build be played with a CI variation? I have a lot of good ES gear and want to try it out, seems like it wouldn't be too hard to ignore the life nodes taken and go for ES instead.
What annoint to use for embalmer gloves ? I guess u use add an add curse since u use the explosive gloves.

Would you suggest unique crit flask or normal ?

I suppose you mean corruption? Ideally, some curse on hit, either temp chains or despair (i don't know if this can be rolled on embalmer), but +1 lvl to all gems or +2 AoE gems can be very useful in the mean time. Maybe only buy it if you think the price is worth the improvements to your build.

+ levels to gems while you're using BV on Embalmer's can really help your dmg while you gather currency for an actual 5l. I used +1 embalmer's myself until I could get a 5l body armour.
Pretty awesome build. I've learned a lot from it so far. Died many times lvling up, almost gave up, but once I start getting the proper gear, it became a lot of fun.

I see some people on poe.ninja builds use void manipulation instead of poison support. Can anyone tell me about the difference, maybe on which situations each one is preferred?

We get 100% poison chance with coralito's up. If we have Perfect Agony in the tree and poison support on the links, some of the flask's mods become redundant. So I'm wondering why the poison support. Is it really better dps-wise than void manipulation? Maybe the point is to have poison support for bossing, where we cannot guarantee flask up time?

Nope was talking about the Annoint " Whispers of doom".
2 golden + 1 black to get + 1 additional curse.

If you use this annoint u would need corrupted embalmers with curse temp chain?

Not sure where u got the 100% poison hit chance from...I believe with coralito's you only get 75% max? Unless I am missing something, pls let me know...
I just added an update to the equipment section for the cluster jewels.

Sorry, I did not modify a passive tree for it yet, but I currently have too less time on my hands.


For the people asking for a CI version:
I would advice against it, as we use Acrobatics, which lowers our energy shield. Probably for a CI version I would take completely different equipment choices as well.
What about No Witnesses on cluster jewels?
Elusive on kill + increased effect seems pretty good.

Seems like I summed that effect like the other small jewels up as increasing dodge.
Fixing that point.
