PoisonFlurry

[b]Introduction[/b]

This build is a straightforward Blade Flurry poison Assassin made in 3.1 Abyss league.

Welcome Exiles to my Earthquake Build, which I was playing in 2.6. I farmed Uber Izzaro with it and was able to farm all Guadians. Shaper is possible and so is Uber Atziri. I did this in Legacy HC

If you want to use a picture, use one that isn't too large.

- not the tankiest build, only around 5k life, so not HC viable

Weapons

Off-hand: Wasp Nest

Best claw for poison builds after double-dipping was removed from the game. It deals additional chaos damage to enemies affected by 5+ poisons which basically means "to all enemies which weren't oneshot" for us since we are attacking 8+ times in a second.

It is better to put it in off-hand because of the nodes at the bottom of the "Ambidexterity" node at the bottom of the tree: +20% attack speed for us is better than +26% damage.

Main hand: Breath of the Council

It gives us up to +100% chaos damage, some increased AoE and the ability to also use Leap Slam if we want to. It is slower than Whirling Blades, but allows you to jump over obstacles. I prefer Whirling Blades, but maybe someone else will prefer Leap Slam - who knows.

Body armour: Cospri's Will or Dendrobate

- Shaper/Guardian DPS with Cospri + 2 curses and with Dendrobate + 150 int is very similar, with Dendrobate + 150 int + Temp Chains it is slightly better. - Mapping DPS is better with Cospri + 2 curses, and it gives us "Your Curses can apply to Hexproof Enemies" which is irrelevant against Shaper, but really handy in maps. - Dendrobate has some elemental resistances so it's easier to cap resists with it. However, it has 150 intelligence requirement for extra poison duration, which we are also slightly short of. - Cospri has more evasion (2000) and some extra movement speed. Dendrobate has some ES, but it doesn't matter because with Acrobatics we only get 50% of it. - Both easily gives us 100 % poison chance we need: Dendrobate via its pseudo-7-link, Cospri via 60% chance to poison against cursed enemies (we are melee, so the enemies are always near us, so they're always cursed). - Both chest have no + max life, which is the same drawback of both.

Overall I think Cospri synergizes with this build really well, so I used Cospri and two curses (Temporal Chains + Despair).
