[3.0] Poison Slayer - Viper Strike build (~800k dps)
|
With 3.0 patch there is many changes to poison and bleeding system. Many say that poison builds are dead. So here we are!
FYI: It is not super nuke build with flashy effects and blazing fast clear speed. This build is still in progress Intro I was looking for something new that might actually work during endgame. Till now i've killed all guardians and shaper Also thanks to my friend and his build i found out that poison build may be viable after changes. Thanks xXCerberXx!

Damage
Shaper damage with buffs that can be easily trigger with "not killing" - unholy might, 5+ poison stack, bleeding. Not frenzy charges enable as i find it quite hard during the fight to use frenzy for a while. The real DPS might be even bigger as i don't know why Path of Building do not counts bonus to chaos duration skill as the viper strike is clearly chaos damage skill and might be supported by increased/less duration.   Normal damage dring map making:  
Mechanic
In short therm, we try to stack as many poisons as possible. That is why attack speed is crucial here. Despite we use viper strike - that is melee single target skill, the clearspeed is not great but decent and reasonable. Slayer gives us most vital passives Slayer Impact - as a substitution of melee splash Bane of Legends - Onslought (more attack speed) for 20s each time we kill rare or unique monster and 20% culling! Headsman - 50% reduced reflected physical damage (we use only that and chaos) 20% more damage and 15% area of effect if we kill recently Endless Hunger - no life leech limit and 20% overkill leech - helps to survive but in fact might be useless with vaal pact With gloves we can reduce cons of single target melee skill - Booooom! You're right we lost all buffs to 2h weapons but in fact dps should be around the same with dual whielding wasp and starforge but it is much cheaper.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High attack speed and life leech - Can do all refletcs (including atziri mirror form) and almost all mods - Base build is cheap - with 5L armour i managed to clear everything to T16 - Poison everywhere!
Cons
- Can't do maps with no life/mana leech - Clear speed - Might be painfull with heavy chaos damage monster (like chimera's minion)
Gear
Core items
None! there are no "must have" but if i'd had to i would say: But each item might be changed as one prefers.
Full gear
My full gear I still try new flasks as i can not decide what set is the best.
Boss fight
It all depends on the boss, If it is solo mob, that do not has any minions etc i'd suggest to change the gloves to - We lack a nice bonus explosion from Haemophilia but still we'll be able to deal with groups of mobs. Use decoy totem to have free time to attack. If boss has a lot of minions i'd stay with Haemophilia A little less damage but much more easier pack killing ability. I still try new flasks as i can not decide what set is the best. might work during the boss fights as any kill gives us 20% more damage. The other option might be - knockback is a nice way to make pack killing safer.
Bandits
kill all or Kraityn for his movement and attack speed EDIT: Added new items, DPS screens Last edited by CichyCien#6791 on Oct 2, 2017, 4:59:45 AM Last bumped on Dec 12, 2017, 11:24:06 PM
