Bino's Kitchen Knife Build

I am using Bino's Kitchen knife for this kind of build. I use the skill Frenzy to buff up my alternate skill, Puncture, which works well against rares, uniques, an even map bosses to an extent. Frenzy also help synergize this build with frenzy charges giving more dodge chance, and since I have 7 frenzy charges, I get 14% chance to dodge attacks. With those + the chest armor + acrobatics, I get 60% chance to dodge attacks. I rarely get hit when all my frenzy charges are up, and on top of that, I get an additional 28% increased EV (7 FC) and 35% movement speed which is important for this type of build.



Since I also decided to included Daresso's Defiance to my build, I might as well have plenty of endurance charges, so I make Onslaught last longer. Having this build be from a Duelist, I have a +1 max EC node on the Duelist tree and helped merc Oak to get my max endurance charge up to 5. By having five endurance charges, I can have Onslaught last five seconds which boost my DPS and my movement speed even more. When I have 7 frenzy charges up and Onslaught up, my movement speed reaches up to 59% (4% from tree) making me go really fast without the need of using Quicksilver flasks.



I also decided to spec into some DW block nodes to build up some defenses, and I am currently have 41% chance to block attacks/ 21% chance to block spells (ammy), so that is another layer of protection on top of that. My build is supposed to be pure evasion, but really is not because some of my gears are hybrid; however, the mindset still has Ondar's Guile, Acrobatics, and Phase Acrobatics in the build.



Going back to Bino's Kitchen knife, I felt that Puncture would fit very well with this weapon, seeing it is bloody and all, and not a whole lot can stop bleeding damage (I think only IC can stop it, or was it both EC and IC, not sure?). It also scales well with physical damage because of the initial hit, and increasing the bleeding damage via increased DoT. Bino + Vulnerability + Growth and Decay notable (36%) provides me 106% increased DoT which makes Puncture more deadlier. I can still improve it by getting Entropy notable which will boost me up to 151% increased DoT making Puncture a sight to see if anything gets punctured by it. I can still improve my offense by getting a better dagger, but at the moment, that rare dagger I have will have to do.

Also, another thing before I forget. Since I specced into Adder's Touch, if I ever crit while I punctured a mob, the mob will bleed and get poisoned at the same time. They will not double dip, but the mob will take damage over time from bleeding, and from being poisoned with their own duration.


Sorry for the long-winded post, but I felt this was a good practice to prepare my build post once I feel it is strong to tackle harder challenges. :P


Here is my current passive tree.

Oh ya ... Does elemental damage increases the poison/regen of Bino's Kitchen Knife? such as added fire damage gem and hatred aura. (after i land a killing blow on the poisoned enemy [adder's touch] )

"Poison status, defined as a modifier of 'hit poisons enemy', deals 10% of all damage (including physical, elemental, and chaos damage[1]) of the hit that caused it, as chaos damage per second. The effect lasts for 2 seconds, dealing 20% of initial hit damage in total."

As for the regen part, it is 10% based on your crit damage, so I am kinda sure that it does include elemental damage as part of the equation. It is possible to increase the regen part.
