PoE Herald of Agony, League Starter builds

Hey there, weary exile. I hope you're as hyped for league start as i am. I've thought about league starting Poisonous Concoction Pathfinder, and came up with this PoB. I'm wondering what you guys think, and if there's a better angle to approach it. Damage seems to be okay (?) if calculating with the 300% increased damage mastery and an conservative approach of 3 poison hits/"shotgunning". 36k Poison DPS \ 3 \ 3 = 342k DPS 133k Total Damage Per Poison (3.6s duration) \ 3 \ 3 = 1.2m DPS My defenses however, are all

Hey guys - I've been messing with the idea of a poison TS assassin to league start. POB is at the bottom. Seems like it should be solid, but I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts. It's around 500k Sirus DPS per arrow, so you should hit 4-5x that with the initial arrow + secondary. This gear is kind of mid range scaled. Can add dying sun and +1 arrow quiver as well. I'd think TS should clear well with +1 pierce from a quiver, but you can easily add +1 or +3 pierce on the tree if you want with 2 or 3 points. Most of the wheels are pretty flexible in terms of what you take, except you defin

Looking for some discussion on this theorycraft and its potential as a league starter. PoB: For the most part, this is a fairly typical Poison Pathfinder build. In that sense, I think this (or any other Poison) build will do well at league start. Especially so with the new Mastery node for Poison that grants 300% increased damage on first application. I've also looked into some synergies for this build to grow into that I'd like to discuss. Lethe Shade Lethe Shade seems like a fairly mediocre node which gives a small upside

Config: Intimidate and negative resists is from Belt of the deciever+Eye of Malice (Animate guardian) Playing around with the resist-shredding capabilities of elementalist. Any thought? Anyone tried this? Is just Occulist better? Edit: My gripes with this concept are elemental ailments and the loss of something like The Stampede. But I consider doing this in softcore to switch things up abit.

POB pastebin: Build: spellslinger bladefall/blade blast I have 2 sets of gear, everything with starter_X is for leveling/early game, should be stuff really cheap and easy to get a hold of. things listed as target_X are the crafts that I'm going to be working towards obtaining. Nothing ridiculous checked, should be pretty solid DPS, clear will be meh until explode chest, but boss damage should be very good. I'd like to get feedback on it if people have suggestions or things I overlooked.
