Hollow Palm Poison Assassin

This is probably one of the best builds I've theorycrafted.

I wanted to make a hollow palm build and found an impale slayer build guide, but I don't have a duelist (standard) so I tried to make the build with another class (I don't have any marauder either). I decided to try assassin for crit but the dps with impale was capped at 1-2M dps. So I theorycrafted a poison version and oh boy was it better. Currently I have around 12M total dps (7M sirus) and at lvl100 around 15M total dps.

PoB: https://pastebin.com/mvrrxsKQ (includes a lvl100 tree)

Pros:

• fairly easy to gear (mostly uniques)
• cyclone (smooth clearing)
• poison is fun
• good single dps

Cons:

• annoying to get res capped (mostly uniques... with 2 rare rings haha)
• squishy (3k hp, 54%/24% dodge with elusive, 50% evasion, fortify)
• few gem sockets

​

Possible upgrades:

• high res rings (currently I use 4 skill points to cap res) with either %dex and/or curse on hit despair
• brutal restraint with better nodes (currently have no good ones)
• there's probably a better body

​

Unfortunately I can't really play this build because poe lags too much and I just die which is no fun. I was able to full clear 1 t16 map without dying and have done several t16 bosses (no guardians, sirus, etc). The little I was able to play was really fun (except the lagging and dying part) and hope others will be able to enjoy this build!

Ps: if you try out the build, could you give me some feedback on how it manages with end-endgame bosses, cuz I wont be able to try...
