PoE Assassin, Physical builds

This is the time of the league where I go off the deep end and start thinking of weird shit to try. Shield skills have caught my attention recently due to the fact that you can have a scaling weapon equipped (like Dreamfeather) for attacks without actually using it. Void Battery seemed interesting to me since it gives huge scaling based on Power Charges, which could be shifted to attacks with Crown of Eyes. Plugging in just gems and uniques into a reasonable tree put me at around 3.7m Shaper DPS, which means with proper investment I'm expecting this to be a reasonably well rounded character.

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

I tried to make a cheap and casual friendly build

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

Hi mates I just build my new league starter BB build, I have seen some mediocre BB builds out there, well dont do them. I Like critic, especially if it comes down to the maxblock. I did the calcs and if you are wondering about the +2 gemlevel thats what we get from 3.17 changes. I also was lazy and didnt adjust resi except form 1-hand main we go all rares(new implicit in mind) so you gotta be stupid not to max them. So here are the numbers 15kk+(a lot more on bosses) shaper dps with almost maxblock, 100% spellsurpression, 7k life, 20k eva, Immune to Shock/Freeze, No extra dps from crit, and

So far ive made some decent progress in the build, its just shy of 1mil avg hit and 7mil full dps (20 stack release), and essentially maxed block (74% attack block sadly so 1% off max.) and it has 100% crit rate. The only real issue is its going to be a pain to build, not because its made of crazy expensive items, but because its an all unique item build (minus the belt), because every piece has to be corrupted for the defenses to work and it would be a massive pain to craft and risk bricking a bunch of rares. So I'm looking for any tips or advice to better optimize this build essentially.

I am planning to league start a CoC build this league, having never played one before. Bit of a personal challenge and a project to work towards. With the help of some of the people on here, I got a lot of information on how CoC works and I've read up on the breakpoints. Now with the new PoB, I need to actually plan out the tree and skills. Initially I thought about doing Martyr of Innocence Blazing Salvo build, but that would require to path all the way to the templar side of the tree. So for now the plan is cold conversion Reap. However, after a bit of planning the damage and defenses are
