[3.13] Power Siphon/Kinetic Blast Poison Assassin - Very fast and tanky poison wander

Haven’t played a wander in so long. How come you use power siphon and barrage support vs straight up barrage?

PS + barrage support is simply more damage than regular barrage now (and it also has culling and power charge generation).

Hello and thanks for putting this guide together.
Im leaning towards this for my league starter on HC.
How would you feel about this build for HC, is it to squishy, are you dieing often to random burst?
And is there any changes you would suggest, for a HC version? e.g. some loss of dps for more eHP.

Thanks again for the build!

Well this is heavily dodge based build so its not that ideal for HC imo. For HC I would most likely drop some nodes and repath to Iron Reflexes and Vaal Molten Shell.

But I am usually not dying as I just dodge most of the stuff, but stuff like metamorphs can sometimes still be pretty dangerous. Also for HC I would probably go with some nice high life shield instead of Mistwall (maybe Saffels/Apep's/Ahn's).

How does this start as a league starter, Obviously it's amazing endgame given the videos, But how much investment would it take to actually hit red maps on day 1-2

I would suggest leveling with Cobra Lash until 50. It has nearly the same gems as Power Siphon.

Plague Bearer is insane! Make sure to use it.

At 50 you can equip Embalmber gloves and put your Kinetic Blast setup in it. Put Vaal Power Siphon into Tabula.

From that time on it is pure destruction.

So basically until we get lvl 50 for those gloves, the leveling process will be mediocre, How is our mapping progression without a delve crafted wand?

In your POB you have 200 poisons applied recently, is that practical?


Can you please upload a video without a explode chest equipped? I'd love to see the clearspeed, Maybe even a 5L power siphon instead of 6L to show off the bossing at leaguestart

Power Siphon and KB both slightly buffed so this build will probably still be fine right?
You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
I was planning on doing this as a league start but skeptical now. The nerf to delve crafting made making a wand really annoying.

Having to get a good ilvl Elder base Imbued wand should be rough. Not only that you can no longer get Despair on hit on the wand unless you Hunter exalt slam it after crafting the elder.

Can also get Despair on hit on a ring hunter ring as well, but still.

Just going to take a ton of investment to get a decent weapon rolling for a league starter. Forget about SSF.

Kinda bummed.

Feel free to correct or put my mind at ease if I'm wrong, but that's how I see it atm.

Yeah you are right. Upgrading from Obliteration to Delve wand will be a lot more annoying now. Despair on hit on wand is not that big of a loss imo so I don't really mind that part, but getting ilvl83+ Elder wand base for crafting will be an issue.

With spellslinger you have some good choices for a nice spell to complement your attacks right?

"
Wand attack projectiles are now considered larger for the purposes of collision detection against monsters

This is good foor KB right?

"
The Wandslinger cluster north of the Witch has been reworked. It now grants 25% increased Damage while wielding a Wand, 5% increased Attack Speed with Wands, and causes increases and reductions to Spell Damage to apply to Attacks while wielding a Wand. The passives preceding it grant a total of 24% increased Damage while wielding a Wand, and 4% increased Attack Speed with Wands.


Isn't that a big thing? Or am I misunderstanding it?

Some assassin changes but they don't do much I think. A bit more damage but 5% reduced attack speed.
You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.
