What is the best Poet's Pen build?

Thinking about doing a Poet's Pen build for Delve but not sure what will be the best variation.

I'm currently messing with "T H I C C Poet's Pen Boss Killer" on standard since I'll want to do Uber Elder at some point, but maybe there is a better variation out there, so many to pick from.

Its entirely dependent on zerphi which is entirely dependent on if it or poets gets the hammer in 3.4

I heard one or both might be destined for the bin.

I would think zerphis would get changed that thing is broke af, why im messing with "T H I C C Poet's Pen Boss Killer" atm since it doesn't rely on zerphis.

I didn't know poets pen was in the firing line also, which is a shame since I never got around to leveling one :(

It was inevitable. GGG hated trigger builds and items/skills in general. They permanently killed Cast on Crit in 2.6, and the trigger weapons are all pretty nerfed/worthless for anything but trash farming. Not even CDR stacking with some rare boots and The Flow Untethered can make them even remotely close to viable.

If it is getting nerfed you can bet it will never come back to viability; nothing else like it has/will.
An easy solution for poets pen, which would sadly also be a huge nerf, would be "can not wield an offhand item". Then you are actually a poet, with 1 pen. Not sure how many people write fluently with 2 pens, or while holding a big ass shield :P

I’ve enjoyed mathil’s glacial cascade/blade fall pathfinder but if pathfinder gets changed/nerfed or whatever it won’t b as good as it is... Other good poets pen build I’ve tried is low live volatile death from illyaink, with over 8k es is tanky enough and good dmg too;) but it’s expensive to run;)

I don’t need anger management, I need people to stop pissing me off!
Some fun trivia:

Actually the slow speed of SST can be utilized to make an EE build around it... the same as e.g. Volatile Dead and Fireball. Finally Poet's Pen is so much fun I hope GGG didn't nerf it.
Two-handed - Mop
Dual Wield - Slippers
One-handed & Shield (close combat) - Brush & Basin
One-handed & Shield (ranged) - Hair Dryer & Mirror
Main-hand & Off-hand (evil witch) - Sponge & Soap
I really like the Elementalist tri-herald inpulsa VD I'm playing. Probably not the best poet's pen (never tried uber elder btw) but fun.

Didn't know regarding SST. Seems worth trying something with this.
