Asenath's Gentle Touch is cheap AF this league and makes PBV insane ATM for farming T16s. Ming's Heart + chaos catalyst is crazy damage for phys poison builds. Obliteration is also pretty crazy.

Arcanist Brand BFBB makes the build's bossing much more acceptable for dumb fights, and is a moderate investment gear swap.

The tree is set up for fast shield charging + QoL things like big AoE for mapping, inc. skill duration, unleash seals, charge on kill, etc. Despite all of this it absolutely slaps damage-wise.

PoBs are fluffed up a bit because of low life settings. Feel free to add '15% less damage' or so to approximate average DPS.

I would highly recommend this build as a starter to anyone if nothing gets changed for it. I completely ignored Archnem this league and was deleting them before any of the nerfs. Just spin up BV and delete the map while running through. Hillock in dunes dies before he can pull out his sword.

Random list of tips:

Assassin's Mark on hit is quite good when playing with Obliteration
Buy Asenath's as your first "big" purchase (20c lul)
Ungil's is good, but it's not cheap this league
Cruelty effect through gem quality/mastery is quite worth it if boss dps feels low (you won't be getting full cruelty)
2.9k HP is quite a lot as long as you're avoiding the big one shots
Evasion + Block + Spell block ends up meaning you can make a lot of mistakes in softcore
Shield charge quality is amazing
Shrines are great on this build, delete the entire map at warp speed
Bino's + Perfect agony is an alternate way to build this for even better clear and simulacrum-style bossing where you can abuse poison prolif + asenath's
