I can't agree. Even if you get a good two noder large cluster, disease vector and a couple low tolerance nodes are going to be really strong I feel. Disease vector at least would be worth getting I think. Negating an enemies life regen is pretty big.

I strongly disagree. Getting a large with disease vector is going to cost you 3 passives to unlock the cluster and then at the very least 4 passives to get there. I don't believe that Disease Vector is worth 7 points at all. Health regen is only really relevant against Metamorphs and very specific map bosses. Sirius and UE don't have sizable health regen. Clusters come at a steep price to even get there.

Getting Disease Vector and 2 sockets costs on average 400alts, and getting a good regal is easily 1/10. Crafting costs for a bare minimum jewel get crazy immediately.

I'm very new to this build, and relatively new to the game. I just go to mapping and I'm having a little trouble even with t2 maps.

My resistances are all at 75, but I only have 2500 health. Should I focus on getting some currency and upping my health?

Also, I love, love, love cobra lash for the clear speed, which is working great, but I'm running into mana issues against single target bosses as my mana flask runs out. Is there a quick fix for mana issues? 18 mana per cobralash right now, which goes quick with how much attack speed I have.

Other than that, this guide was great! Slow start, but once I hit about level 30 I breezed through the rest of the acts to mapping in record time (for me).

Yeah, you need to get your life up to at least 4000 asap. Goal is 5000+.

For mana, you need to allocate passive on the tree Soul Raker. Also, don't use Culling Strike with Herald of Agony before you get Enlighten lvl 4 gem.

Why is that? They messed up clusters too?

Hey Torstein, loved your Glacial Hammer build so decided to league start this since I've never done a poison build before.

I think I just have one question. I'm using Pestilent Strike as you suggest and in the guide you list the links as:

Pestilent Strike - Deadly Ailments - Vile Toxins - Added Chaos damage - Multistrike - Melee Physical damage and to substitute Ancestral Call for Melee Phy when mapping.

In the PoB though the links use Unbound Ailments instead of Melee Phys. I'm just wondering which is correct and do we still use Ancestral Call for mapping? Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it :)

Awakened Unbound Ailment's is little better than Awakened Melee Physical.

For normal gems go with Melee phys.

Roger that... so Ancestral Call is always used for general mapping/clear and then Melee phys for tougher bosses?
