Hi,

I built on POB a build around a poison explosion (with asenath) and Viper strike for bossing. The goal was multiple folds:

- I wanted to be able to do everything in the game. Maybe not delve 2000 or 100% deli (still hoping for 40% at least), but clear everything the game has to offer outside of that.

- I wanted to have minimal swap to do. So far, it looks like I only have to swap the quicksilver and the gloves (mostly for the ancestral call effect) while doing pinacle bosses (but I may be wrong, hence why i'm asking for opinion so i'm not surprised in the wrong way).

- I wanted to do a build for "cheap", meaning most items (outside the 6L) had to be under 1 ex. The forbidden jewels are above that (1,6 exa for both currently), but they are luxury and not needed to do the chain explosion anyway. Did I put something expensive in my setup without knowing it was?

- I wanted something fairly tanky with a high amount of recovery. While I only have 2K5 hp total (due to petrified blood), I also have 85K armour, molten shell and a recovery amounting for 825 hp each time i'm hit or I hit with leap slam or viper strike.

- While VS is obviously shit at clearing, the concept is scaling asenath to the point of doing a single kill leads to a poison doing ~55% of the target life per second in aoe, not counting curses or wither, and able to chain spreading without condition. I also have plaguebearer.
