PoE Assassin, Despair, Physical builds

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

20Mil DPS, 14,7 Mil without Focus, 45k AR 45k EVA flasked, 60/45/60k max hit. Leveraging BV with Dual Curse, Dot multi with Crits and some moderate gem level scaling. Besides maybe helmet and gloves, the rares can be made in a couple of essences and a fractured mod. The militant faith is also pretty flexible, opted for aura effect and ele res to completely dodge gear pressure. This PoB is set for single target, I would probably opt for Delirium explodey boots, asenaths or even explodey body armour for clear or just a good old we

Ever since BV got buffed, I theorycrafted on the possible BV builds and ofc, poison BV has always been a staple. In this build, I tried to find a parallel to the popular nightblade poison builds and looked for an efficient way to scale spell poison. I think this efficient method could be power charge stacking with Fenumus toxins. With a redeemer chest you could later even go badge of the brotherhood for another 30% more damage and better wither uptime. On a side note: Cold iron point scales determination, defiance banner, herald of purity/agony. 60% more in the config is to account for the
