My first time posting here. Was looking at Tainted Pact, and was thinking of how it could be used with golden rule and viper strike to potentially achieve... well, basically immortality? I whipped this together, and was curious what the community thought of this build.

Core concepts:

Use Mahoxotl's for overleech and ele taken as chaos.

Use maximum life leech tattoos to get fat max leech, to feed into strength of blood to basically cap phys reduction. We now no longer care about phys dots pretty much. Enduring cry + endurance charges when hit just to help finish keeping us at 90% phys reduction.

Stormshroud + flask with shock avoid and abyss jewel with shock avoid to become elemental ailment immune.

Poison heals us, and we self-poison to get up to... uh... 712,970 healing a second, if I did my math right (each poison does 7,129.7 dps to us, based on our chaos resist, and we can hit that cap pretty easily with tattooed Lethe Shade, which should boost the duration to about 17 seconds per poison).

Suppress is capped, so that's going for us, helping us not get one shot

And we run like 90% evade chance.

And we ramp to like... 8 million dps. It's viper strike, so a bit slow there, but I think the defenses should be pretty solid.

I feel like most expensive item of this build would be the amulet corruption, but we should also be able to just swap the anoint and still be > 7 mill dps. Other than that, it is really just alt quals and awakened gems driving up price of the build, but I think this should be pretty achievable.

I feel like biggest threat is taking phys damage before we start leeching, but hopefully evade should help with that.

Approaching Flames might be a little dangerous, since we'll be taking like... 700 dmg/second when we're not poisoned (Half the damage is converted to chaos, which should then be healing us), but I think it should be fine enough with our poison duration? We'll just need to remember to turn it off when looting.

Are there any other pitfalls I'm missing in this? Any ways to improve the build? Any core concepts I'm mistaken on?
