POB: https://pobb.in/jAKO8se8vpSl Budget: ~80div at the time I made it
All credit goes to Ruetoo @BansheePrime for another banger of a build. This is a solid all-rounder w/ great speed, damage, clear, and defenses. Playing pathfinder with perma juiced flasks almost feels like mageblood gameplay but at a fraction of the cost.

Offensive Mechanics:
- For spark to feel good you need a number of mechanics - # proj, proj speed, duration, and pierce. For # proj, we use the +3 helm enchant. For proj speed we abuse the hell out of tattoos, grabbing 17 proj speed ones. For duration we are using efficacy in the links. Finally for pierce we get 3 on tree and 1 on cluster.
- To fully convert spark to chaos dmg we need 50% quality, so we use Ashes. There are a number of alt qual gems that synergize well with the build - divergent plague bearer gives giga dot multi, anomalous despair gives big damage taken multi, etc.
- Temp chains even after the nerf is a huge damage multiplier for poison builds. We get it on hit from Asenath's gloves, with the added bonus of small explosions.
- Dendrobate solves a lot of issues, letting us cap chance to poison, giving spark +2 levels, and giving big damage multipliers with inc damage and duration.
Defensive Mechanics:
- Triple ele flasks basically solves our ele mitigation
- Taste of Hate, Dawnbreaker, and some helm mods give us 57% of phys damage taken as ele. This means we don't really need to invest in armour.
- We're able to cap evade using evasion, a watcher's eye with flat evade chance, dread banner with awakened generosity, and blind from asenath's
- Since we rarely get hit, we can take wind dancer for a huge 20% less attack damage taken
