have you picked poison passives for those runs as well, or only what's already in the tree+the different gem setup?

No poison taken on the tree, just Perfect Agony notable + gems setup.

Hello, sorry for my English that is a bad thing, is the impale version still viable? For map clear is it better ice by vile toxic and put fortify and take out melee phys?
I saw that there are several viable versions, but I would like to know the setup of gems that are more profitable in this 3.8, thanks!

Yes the 3.7 Impale version is still viable, and probably has higher max DPS.

The 3.8 has more speed and survivability. I am near Delve 400 and I can feel the difference. With Sand Stance + Aspect of the Cat, I take much less dmg.

In 3.8, I recommand Ice Bite for farming and Vile Toxins for bosses. You can put Fortify instead of Melee Phys if the map is hard, yes.
Rest of the setup is always : BF + Infused Channelling + Energy Leech + Nightblade.

Wow, just made it to Delve 400 !
Not bad, considering this build is no Juggernaut.

In 3.7, I was struggling past 350, but now, with Elusive, Aspect of the Cat and Sand Stance, it feels easier.



The encounter at depth 397 had those skeleton Rhoas that hit like trucks.

So I stood in a corner, popped a flare, then raised the three totems as a line of defense. Vaal Warchief whenever I could.
For flasks, I generally use Sin's Rebirth, a Diamond and a Silver. But this time, I replaced the Silver with the good old Lion's Roar. To hit them like a train ! Yeah, I like the sound of your bones breaking, Big Rhoa.

Is this a league start viable? i dont want to change characters Q_Q

Yes, absolutely. I have made the 10 acts in league without trading.
Cobra Lash until level 28, then BF.
A Tabula Rasa, boots with some movement speed and you are good to go.

Solo self-found (except the BF gem... couldn't wait to get it at level 28 !)

#8 : T4 Blighted Field

I did some mistakes but overall that felt easy. Gotta improve my tower management, I'm not fast enough.

Now level 89, I've completed Uber Lab and bought some stuff.
For 5c, the Shaper's gloves give more life and more DPS than the previous rares :


Tabula Rasa has been replaced with :

It's cheaper to buy a corrupted one, so I chose the exact colors I needed. 30c

Bino and Taproot as daggers


I've anointed Cloth and Chain on the amulet, for the res and evasion.


Total budget : 55c.

DPS is >600k. Enough to kill Shaper already, but I'm currently levelling in t10. Will soon begin red maps.

I was talking the other day about doing juicy maps to level.
Each time you do an Atlas mission for Zana, she refreshes her list of maps. And each time, she has at least one of those maps with like 80% quant / 100% rarity (quant mods apply to rarity).

Look at this one, T8 Graveyard which is a Shaper's Stronghold: it's close to midnight, and under the moonlight, there are undead, uncreated, Rogue Exiles, Timeless Legions, a Syndicate operation, Shaper's clone and a Blight invasion !
Does no one sleep in this Graveyard ?

So, put on your red jacket and get ready for
#9 : A Thrilling Graveyard !

With 2 Azure and a Crimson, I have anointed Holy Dominion on the amulet : +12% all res, 12% inc phys and elem dmg, 5% to freeze/ignite/shock.

Very powerful notable, and typically the one that's impossible to get on the tree for us (Templar zone anyone ?)

Bought the Ryslatha's belt for 5c


I am beginning red maps, and have no pb doing rare corrupted ones. Watch out, they buffed the big bird boss in Gardens. I was taken off guard at first.

#10 : T6 Blighted Ghetto
I looted a better Starkonja in this one, and a nice ring in another Blighted :

I've kept the ring for the elem res. I may try the Aspect of the Avian.

Atm, I am struggling in t8+ Blighted maps. But I've found this useful advice on Reddit :
Anoint the map with 3 Amber, to get 60% reduced cost of building/upgrading towers. It makes the beginning much easier and the fight overall is smoother. Now, you will see what these towers can REALLY DO !... DIVINE POWER !

Also, I'll test the Scout Towers, as the guy says they are OP with rings anointment.

In Uber lab, I have chosen Ambush & Assassinate as my last Ascendancy, but I may respec to Opportunistic, as it should give more survivability in hard Blighted maps.

I'm really enjoying this build in 3.8. The added phasing and elusiveness makes for a great playstyle--something I felt was missing before.

Thumbs up!

The map has been anointed with 3 Amber oils for 60% reduced cost of building/upgrading towers. Makes the fight much smoother.

PoB lvl 90 : https://pastebin.com/Rkddb3u5
Bought a second Bino (3c), an Aspect of the Cat ring (5c) and Lion's Roar flask (5c).


Total budget ~70c (not even half of an exalted !)
Up to 1M DPS with flasks, in Sand Stance, without Vaal Warchief and Phase Run.
Nightblade support not correctly accounted in PoB (it only adds 0.6% DPS, when it's much more actually).
Auras : Pride, Aspect of the Cat, Blood and Sand, Precision lvl 1.
