[0.2] The Fartmaster (poison spear Ritualist, all content viable)
Thank you for this build.
It the only satisfying poison build that I have found that is both viable and not busted. I made a few changes to your build that made it more fun for me but slightly smoother (imo). expensive changes tho. I used Headhunter (after I tried the Ritual Sacrifice accendancy). I removed Martial Tempo and added Caltrops to Lightning Spear. It imporoved Plague Bearer buildup fast and it's fun and funny at the same time. I used a Sacred Flame Shrine Sceptre but I agree that Palm of the Dreamer or Omen Sceptre might be better. I used Trail of Caltrops and Barrage instead of Trinity and Withering Prescence. This is because I was adding a Thorns element to the build. I intend to scale back my Spirit usage and add Withering presence for Barrage. Trinity didn't feel like it was doing much for me, maybe cause of the Sacred Flame Sceptre. I use the foloowing runes Boots - Greater Rune of Tithing x2 Gloves - Courtesan Mannan's Rune of Cruelty x2 Spear - Fenumus' Rune of Agony x2 It improved Thorns damage and made Simulacrum so so easy. Why Thorns? Just like the idea and kinda adds flavour to the build. The whole Thorns damage thingy is built into Wind dancer (underrated skill) and Trail of Caltrops. I am calling the Nightshade Ritualist!! https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/a95ec03f Thank you for the build again. I really enjoy playing Ritualist! |

HH and Sacred Flame were beyond my budget. And HH is good for mapping, but not for pinacles, so you might want to swap to ingenuity for bosses anyway. It also makes it harder to get in ssf/hc, ingenuity is rather easy to get.
Trinity is abit tricky as you have to care abit about rings to properly balance elements. Ingenuity helps if you have different bonuses for left and right ring as you can balance elements by swapping rings as each of 3 slots has different boost. Sacred flame quite breaks Trinity as it just gives tons of fire damage, so you might just swap to blasphemy with chaos resist curse. Last edited by DwaneDibbley#4615 on Jul 1, 2025, 4:51:04 AM

Nice... I will have to try this build out. Hopefully it is better than my Storm chain build in terms of dps and clearing speed!
