[3.2] Viper Strike / Blade Flurry Poison Trickster, CI - 1 mill dps, affordable (50c), build guide
Where are you pulling enough dex to equip hyrri's?
At level 65, taking all the dex nodes in the tree + effigon, while also having dex on one of my rings, I'm still short 12 dex from equipping Hyrri's. Looking at the gear and skill tree listed in the guide, and also whats in the pob link, there isn't enough dex to be able to equip it. Unless I'm missing something? |

" Hyrri's has itself 40-50 dex. those only "count" once the item is equipped. you can swap in a belt or some gloves with dexterity on them and thus allow you to equipp hyrri's. once you are wearing hyrri's, you get the 40-50 dex bonus from the item itself and you can swap those dexterity items out again. (it's a bit silly item equipping works that way. GGG could just subtract the flat DEX on the item from the dex-requirement for wearing it, but I guess it is such a minor point to them, they won't change that.)

It’s a nice build.I can't wait to try it.
I have some idea on this build. How about we use Fenumus' Toxins and Fenumus' Weave? |

" that's also an interesting option. it changes the build in some ways: - change the ascendency to use "swift killer" (generates frenzy + power charges, gives extra damage for each charge) - remove "prolonged pain" - you loose the five link for viper strike in the "emblamer" gloves and either want a 6-Link chest to compensate the damage with blade flurry, or swap the skills for bosses (very clunky). I didn't follow that road, beacuse I wanted to use viper strike in a five link (embalmer gloves) for strong single target damage and have another 5 or 6 link for map clearing in the chest. keeps the build rather cheap to realize, and leaves more potential to scale VS and BF when you got more money. :) you can also consider going crit and picking up the "perfect agony" keystone, but that is a different build and, most of all, a lot more expensive to get much crit and crit multi on your gear. if you try anything like that, please leave a PoB link here, or write some notes on how well it works. gl!

" " alright. I'm not a good player, so i don't like showcasing it :p but here's a random map with boss fight at the end: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/247313034 one thing to note: - poison duration is at ~13 seconds and stuff would die on its own after being hit, but I tend to overkill it. so you can play faster, if you want. |

" well, on your profile that's a totaly different build ;) looks good, thou if you want to go poison you need to invest fully into it and get all those jucy nodes with "increased damage with ailments from attack skills". with those nodes, I'm sitting at 800% increased damage with poison. did you make the switch to a CI and poison, or went for an ele-attack build right away?

I really wish you people would stop saying "1 mill DPS", when what you really mean is "I think I might have seen a crit that high once." DPS means "damage per second" as a sustained rate. I get that Number Wankers love to brag, but it's no very useful (or honest) to claim a DPS rate based off of your highest crit number.

" this build has nothing to do with critical strikes. it is a poison trickster, not a crit assassin. poison is a damage over time ailment that can stack without limit and each poison applied has a duration of 13 seconds. this actually gives you the sustain you would be worried about in crit builds. you seem to have commented on the wrong build, sir Last edited by PopeJo#5880 on Apr 13, 2018, 3:24:40 PM
