Good afternoon!

I'd like to show my build that I played in 3.20. This build does a number of cool things that I thought the community would enjoy.

This build features very large poisons by using 6x Low Tolerance notables in our cluster jewels. We have a ton of "Faster Poison" stats across our character to bring our poison duration down to around 1 second. Alchemist Mark scales off the damage per second of the largest poison on the target which makes the ground effect do most of our damage. We are running Grace+Determination+Defiance Banner for defenses as well as being Suppression capped.

Other interesting notes:

  • Most of poison chance comes from Herald of Agony alt quality with Ashes of the Stars.
  • Leap Slam is linked to Brutality so that you wont accidentally poison enemies while hopping around.
  • I got insanely lucky with my Relic. It gives 12% mana reservation efficiency and 8% increased curse effect. This scales our Despair and boosts the damage of our Alchemist Mark. Without the relic you'd have to pick up the Grace Reservation Efficiency node in the Evasion Mastery.
  • You have to wait for poisons to fall off before hitting an enemy each time due to Low Tolerance. After a while you get a hang of how long your poison durations are.
  • To maximize DPS, I would hand cast Despair, use Withering Step to apply Wither, Cast Alchemist Mark, Hit with Vaal Cleave or Cleave. It is important to use Withering Step before Cleave so it goes on cooldown.
  • The duration of the wither stacks applied by Withering Step last 3 seconds and the cooldown is 2.97 seconds. You won't always have it applied but so long as you always hit right as you press Withering Step you can approach 100% uptime.
  • Since Echoforge doesn't allow us to do Physical Damage, we have to convert all Phys to Chaos to make use of all the Damage on the weapon. We have 100% Phys to Chaos conversion from Ascendency(40%), Chaos Mastery(40%), and Eater of Worlds Glove Implicit(20%).
  • We are immune to all elemental ailments, hinder, corrupted blood, stun, and bleeding.
  • This build would be unplayable without Poison proliferation from pathfinder ascendency.
  • All the rare items (not including jewels) were crafted by me! Let me know if you have any questions about how I made them. Oh...not the belt actually. I tried to craft it but gave up after spending way too much. Then some guy was selling this one for 3 divines.
  • This character cost a little over 400 divines.
