PoE Plague Bearer, Shadow, Area builds

Perfect Agony Pneumatic Dagger Molten Strike Crit Poison Assassin Very cheap build for early league

This league, I took HackerGooby's Poison Blade Vortex from the archives, and improved on it, I did a little bit of re-thinking, and so it's not 100% his build. So I think I can say it's my own. I made my own build guide here talking about how to implement it. Obviously I am showing the end game gear because that's what I have currently, but it should be pretty straightforward on how to start low and improve as you go. I will update it as I go, and I'm thinking I may add some vide

PoB: This build uses Kinetic Blast to Cast on Crit Dark Pact + Chain. I threw this together since I got a minion life relic and always collect CoC poison gear for fun to try stuff. The idea is that KB might sometimes look like a real CoC skill if you chain it off a Tornado. We create Tornadoes and skeletons using Poet's Pen. This build slapped way harder than I expected when I equipped it, so I thought I'd share. I'm wearing literal random gear. The core of the build can be considered poet's pen + watcher's eye + rings.

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 da

Ventrua had put out a poison BV occultist for league start but I also like to play Assassin and it's more point efficient (though potentially still worse than Occultist), so I thought I'd share my work. All of these PoBs are built on top of Ventrua's PoB. These builds will focus on incorporating alternatives to Profane Bloom as a priority. Level as PConc, poison traps, or I can recommend cobra lash + tornado if you know what to do with league starting claw/daggers. League Start Target lvl 88 Obliteration setup: Post Start Target
