My Version of the Quill Rain Poison Assasin aka Poisonous Pets Build




So after Finally tweaking and tweaking and trying new gear and the whole 9 yards...

I am in no way a pro and have only played this for a few months now, but i have def. put time in to this hero. going multiple route's and 100's of Regrets, to try various things on the skill tree and lots of gear, gems and yadda yadda

I Came to this conclusion with my build .... Demolished Elder in NO time and good map clear

I call it the Poisonous Pets Build

Helmet....
Spoiler
Devoto's Devotion

4-Link all red
Gems
Cast When Damage Taken
Immortal Call
Flame Golem ( just another minion adds Damage)
Increased Duration


Chest Armour...

Spoiler
DendroBate... makes this a 7 link with Gems supported by Lvl 10 lessor poison

6-Link 5g 1b
Gems
Tornado Shot
Mirage Archer Support
Great Multi Projectiles Support
Deadly Ailments Support
Fork Support (this can be any number of gems)Vicious Projectiles is good to
Added Chaos Damage Support
(don't think you need 6 links for TS but if you got it use it


Gloves (to me this is where the build gets a lot of dmg)
Spoiler

The Embalmer Carnal Mits ( Socketed Gems Are Supported by Lvl 20 Vile Toxins)
(i have these enchanted with (Edict of War) so i get two Quill Rain animated weapons that also attack and stack poison's) as do my minions
4-Link
2b 1r 1g

Gems
Herald Of Purity = 4 minion's (GREAT defensive and offensive minion)
Herald Of Agony (1 minion who's buff is attributed by how many stacks of virulence you can attain up to 40 and with TS and Quill Rain easy to maintain at high 30's to 40....)
Minion Damage Support... Minion's Deal more dmg
the 4th Gem can be anything else to support it
I use Increased Critical Strikes for pushing and Item Rarity when MF


Weapon
Spoiler

Quill Rain (duh) this is the boss killer...

5-LInk or 6-link for more damage... Ive done just fine with 5 but 6 is def better

3g 2b and other doesn't matter as I used the extra node for a Phase run Gem

Gems
Barrage
Added Chaos Damage Support ( Max Lvl add up to 275 Chaos Damage to attacks
Decay Support (MAx Level Adds 675 chaos dmg per second for 8 sec...
Vile Toxins Support (stacks poisons)
Deadly Ailments Support

I do not Use Greater Multi Projectiles here, (reason... Skill tree gem, Barrage fires additional arrows with first and last shot, so i just mash barrage and get the extra arrows without the damage loss ( I think )


Quiver-
Spoiler
I go with Drill Neck (simply for more damage for pierced enemies, and if you read tornado shot, it pierces all enemies till it reaches the selected location and then spans out... SO giant mob aim towards the back ... also tied in extra piercing with skill tree


Amulet
Spoiler
.... Impresence Chaos type(lil Expensive BUT WELL WORTH IT)
with 100% mana reservation reduction for Despair...


Ring
Spoiler
.... Thiefs Torment (major Life and Mana Leech ON HIT)


BOOTs
Spoiler
get good move speed and Stats you may be lacking...

4 link

3b and other is whatever as i use a Portal Gem in the 4th node

Gems
Despair... Goes with The Impresence Amulet (CHOAS version)
Blasphemy ... Turn's Despair into an Aura
Increased Area of Affect ... make the Aura Area Larger
Portal


Belt
Spoiler
is for stats and resistances you may be Lacking


as far as Skill tree i can go into that if anyone is interested

I however unlike alot of the Poison assassins do not use MoM (Mind over Matter) as using the Heralds reserves alot of my mana and MoM uses 30% of mana mana before health and if you have a small mana pool then what the point ....

I have 4200 Hp (seems low right) but with the attack speed of quill rain and thief's torment ring giving me around 50 life per hit ( now think about how many arrows are flying around the screen and do the math...

LIke i said NOt a pro or claim to be but this build had been amazing
