PoE 3.27 - A Risky Start: Poison Blade Vortex Assassin League Start Build Concept

//Notes// This build will be solid for more experienced players, but is a riskier start that has some major issues namely to do with Poison Proliferation which I discuss in the video and further down. We essentially have no prolif until we get Bino's, which is a T0 Unique (as rare as Mageblood) and need a few (*very common) Uniques to get this up and running Also: waiting on confirmation whether or not the Oshabi Ascendancy will work with BV (not 100% sure - some people say it won't because of how BV interacts with the less damage on Unleash) !! IMPORTANT STUFF!! //Poison Proliferation - MAJOR ISSUE// Our Explodes cannot Poison because they're not Critting (we can only apply Poisons with Crit, and we can only make Explosions Crit with base crit, which we don't really have). Might result in it feeling kinda crappy for clear - no prolif or pseudo prolif Might be worth running Cold Iron Point instead, or maybe even just a +1/2 Crit Cringe but might actually work: Bino's (T0 Unique Though). Will have 12.3% Base Crit next league (effectively +6.3% to Critical Strike Chance on BV), meaning we can drop Ungil's easily, use Replica Dragonfang's instead and solves for Poison Prolif //BV SWAP GEARING PRIORITY // DO NOT SWAP TO BV UNTIL YOU HAVE AT THE VERY LEAST 1. Dendrobate with 300 Dex + 150 Int on Character 2. Ungil's Harmony (With Anoint preferably - Clear, Amber, Black) 3. Rune Dagger with +1 Phys and (Benched) Increased Critical Strike Chance (aiming for base Crit of ~10%) 4. First 3 Labs Minimum 5. Vaal Blade Vortex (try to get one with 20% Quality ASAP) 6. ~Level 70 with the Unleash Mastery 7. 95%+ Critical Strike Chance (with Power Charges) Then get 4. Leper's Alms 5. Ming's Heart Obliteration: Without Poison Prolif, I'm really not sure how worth this is. It can help but I think a high Crit Dagger/Wand with +1 will be better, but the Explosions might still feel worth it //Mana Issues// If you're struggling with recovering enough Mana to use your BV effectively: -> -7 Mana Cost Ring bench craft -> Bit of Mana Regen on gear -> Early, might need to use Enduring Mana Flask, esp for bosses -> More Reservation Efficiency // Leveling // Going to go Poisonous Concoction - will update soon //BV Swap// Don't try to swap to BV too early - it will be absolutely miserable ____________________________________________________________________ GENERAL INFO //Ascendancy// 1. Toxic Delivery 2. Unstable Infusion 3. Mystical Infusion 4. Oshabi - The Primal Owl //Mitigation// Phys Max Hit is decent for SC since we have decent HP/ES pool with good recovery Defs better with with Endurance Charges Up + Steelskin (turned off in config/skill section btw) Ele Mit is basically just Res lol //Endurance Charges// Most forms of generation are kinda cringe - can use Enduring Cry/Overcharged/Enduring Composure. With the 100% Charge Duration Mastery, slightly less cringe at least. Immortal Call with Overcharge //Avoidance// Evasion seems okay-ish with Flask up. Defs would nice to be higher Tiny bit of Block Shared Suffering nice for Ailment Avoidance early //Recovery// We have great recovery in Maps from Toxic Delivery (Life) + Soul Thief (ES) + Mind Drinker (Mana) Bossing: Leech on Gloves, use Void Manip instead of Deadly Ailments so hit Damage is higher = better leech 1 ES Leech Node to help with ES recovery in bosses Ghost Dance not amazing but worth for 1 point //HP// Can go Hybrid ES/Life and get a decent amount to compensate for lack of mit //Crit// Going Perfect Agony too early will be a disaster - really need super high crit chance. Can probs make the swap when you have Dendro/Merc Lab/Ungils //Wither// Set to 8 in Config Unholy Might - Sin's Rebirth, Corruption on Oblit (mapping only), Balance of Terror Despair Early: Wither Totems/Withering Step/Chaos Mastery? //Whispers of Doom Dual Curse// Probs only for Pinnacles early tbh Can Anoint later Impossible Escape Chaos Inoculation is MVP //Grafts?// Probably some cool stuff there //LEVELING// Probs just Rain of Arrows - will find a PoB and link Build gonna feel bad until you get Unleash Mastery + Dendro 4L with 300 Dex at the very least
