you can see 0.8% mana leech dont leech enough for a boss.

Have you concidered taking the "Spirit Void" node using oils? Its 3x verdant so 3c for .8% mana leech and increased max mana leech.

We'll see later, in general Venom also works a bit better in this matter because projectile hit more times they do more dmg so leech is better. Mana on hit would be the best here.

Impatiently waiting for an update here :)

Liking the build so far, but I feel like I am hitting a wall atm, just in yellow maps. My damage is lacking. I've been using both Cobra Lash and Venom Gyre though. Don't really notice a big damage difference between the two.

Your venom gyre is on a 3-link, do you have the currency to 4l/5l your dendrobate? That'd be a decent dps increase. I also think it might be worth experimenting with vile toxins/deadly ailments as priorities before nightblade in your venom gyre setup.

Thank you for your advice :)

Planned to switch to the 5L as soon as I got it. Tried 5 linking the Dendrobate 3 times... used up all my currency 3 times. Shit luck, but I'll get it eventually.

Ah, unlucky. Jeweller's Touch is 25c but I suppose it depends on how your current currency situation is looking. I bought a garbage chest 5-linked and my clear is decent - i'm squishy af at ~3kehp, but not struggling for damage.

POB just got new skills gems today.

Seems like vicious projectiles is a lot better than nightblade(?)

Nightblade and Elusive aren't supported by POB. So are Withering Step and Plague Bearer.

Exactly, that wall hit me too around T8-9s, disappointed by far

Now with PoB updated, I think this build can still be "saved", so to say. I'm sticking with it for a while :)

Poison builds scale insanely with Delve prefix "60% chance to deal 100% more poison damage", or whatever it's worded, and high DPS/fast weapons, which we clearly lack that early in the league.


As for Dendrobate, it's really good damage wise but having no life at all on something that's already pretty squishy doesn't make it BiS, if you have the funds to replace it with a good Elder armour.

You can manually add Nightblade in PoB.
Same thing for Elusive, through getting a mean value (basically max/2 if you don't refresh it)
