[3.10] BV explosion speedster assassin
 Hello everyone These are my thoughts about poison BV assassin. This is my first guide, so do not judge strictly pls)) Pls note that I'm still testing many things about this build, to eliminate some problems so it might be completely rebuilt within next few weeks Quick summary: I've started this build this league, and so far it was a lot of fun I've cleared Sirus A8 with this build as well as Simulacrum 20 waves(even with AFK partner), but I would not say that this build is great for this type of encounters This build can be used as a league-starter, due to its cheap core, but I would suggest to level it as ED+Contagion until you have Carcass jack and pair of Obliterations Pros: - Ultra-fast map clear (under right circumstances) - good single-target damage - fun playstyle - all content viable (except HOGM gue to chaos damage) - very cheap to start, and progress well with investments Cons: - Squishy - Dodge is unreliable - Not much sustain against bosses - Flasks are VERY important in this build Don't bother much that the majority of items I have is complete garbage, I'm trying to keep this build cheap, with few exceptions that I've dropped myself Videos:

Main damage:  Use awakened versions, if you can afford it Auras:  Put most expensive auras into helmet Vitality is only needed if you don't have Watcher Eye Movement:  Try to keep this UP constantly  To jump over the obstacle Utility:  CWDT + Steelskin gives some extra EHP, so keep those low lvl Golem gives some HP regen, i like it personally, for boss fights  Ramp up singletarget damage Core items:
Spoiler
You need 2 of those, for these sweet screen-wide POPs Nice to have gear: This gear usually expensive at the beginning of the league, and slowly goes down, the further league progresses
Spoiler
Body Armor It has some HP, resistance, and nice Area effect, but generically speaking is cheap garbage chest, so I'm thinking about alternative Healmet Allows you to save some points for Eldrich battery Reduced mana reservation is great +1 to gems is quite nice as well Feast of flash sometimes might save your life, but this is rather an exception For veiled mod increased Duration of Ailments you inflict while Focussed might be a good DPS option as well It is quite expensive at the start of the league, so I would wait until the price goes down Weapon Needed only to ramp up your single-target damage, it is quite expensive at the start of the league, so I would wait until the price goes down Flasks
Spoiler
Life flask with instant healing is a MUST Damage Flasks This flask is must-have, and make sure it is always up, boost your damage by a LOT Less important but still quite nice Utility flasks: There is no speedster without this flask, make sure you have Adrenaline suffix Phasing is very useful, and Dodge is nice to have as well, and you need to have freeze and chill immunity, this is the cheapest way Some luxury items can make any build viable, but this isn't our way, this build is meant to be cheap So only expensive things I've put into this build are
Spoiler
Despair ring with HP and resistances, around 1Ex And Watcher Eye  It cost around 60c now, at the beginning of the league - it cost around 4 ex It changes playstyle drastically when you have this Jewel, your run through packs, and you don't care, without it - you better run around Sextant Trick explanation:
Spoiler
For sextant trick, you need Roll sextant with those mods: Players deal X% increased Damage for each Poison on them Players have X% increased Movement Speed for each Poison on them Areas contain X additional packs of Poisonous Monsters It doesn't matter which sextant you use, the better sextant - more damage and movement speed I would suggest using Prime sextants. they are cheap, and the bonus is solid With a combination of https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Golden_Rule and this notable https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Passive_Skill:Affliction~notable~antivenom You are susceptible to poison, but don't take any damage from it If you combine it with a sextant, you deal up to 1200% increased damage, and you have up to 600% increased movement speed Work is currently in progress, I'll add Pantheons, bandits and another missing stuff tomorrow If you need anything specific to be added - pls let me know Currently, I'm planning to test if a single weapon setup DPS isn't going to be too low, and if it's not, then LL and CI versions will be added soon Dernière édition par askaal#1716, le 23 avr. 2020 05:08:59 Dernier bump le 29 juin 2020 07:40:14

Finished MoM version of the build
It is a little bit more expensive (around 5 ex total) It has less damage It is a lot more durable (+ 1.5k EHP, more reliable defenses) LL and CI version might be stronger at the end of the day, but I don't see the way to make it cheap POB of new variation is added Awakener lvl8 video added If anyone needs an explanation of the new version - let me know in comments |

Does this build still function well without the sextant trick
|
|
" Sextant is only needed for 100% Delirium maps, because of the mobs are just super fat there Any other content in the game - you pretty much just run and everything dies And if you go MoM version of the build, random one-shots are way less common |

Nerfed Antivenom - so poison immunity and chaos res is gone, sad Self poison sextant trick is gone (you can get unaffected by poison with Maw of Conquest, but it's not as efficient as it used to be with Antivenom) Nerfed MoM version of the build, since Glancing Blows is now harder to obtain Life\Dodge version is still viable |
