[Music] No matter how many times I try to put this video together and find the words to pretty much put it together, I think I've done it. I think I've settled on what I want to play for 3.25. 3.25 is literally 24 hours away or some number of hours away from when I decided to record this, but I've spent the last 2 days pretty much playing poison concoction of bouncing on an assassin, and it has been absolutely crazy out of this world. The first thing you're going to say is, why the heck are you playing assassin? What is going on? Why are we not playing Pathfinder? And well, a couple of things. One, this is your disclaimer of why I'm doing things, and two, we're just kind of kind of go into it. First and foremost, I want to play Assassin 'cause Assassin offers me a really easy way to get crit cap because I want to play with perfect Agony. Perfect Agony in 3.25 is being redone and rewarded to

say damage over time multipliers and some stuff and some hoot Annies and I don't understand how it fully works, but it pretty much just scales your crit multi to the Moon. It makes you do a whole lot of damage and um, you know, damage over time multiplier for elements is equal to your Critical Strike multiplier, so your critical strikes deal no extra damage. Your non-critical strikes can, you know, add elements. And pretty much what it means is when I throw my poison concoction of balancing and it hits, it has to crit. If it crits, it applies poison, and that poison can be scaled with Critical Strike multiplier, which becomes a lot easier to scale than damage over time multiplier in PoE. And through some testing and working some numbers and stuff, it really looks like Assassin is a really easy way to get the dot cap with, you know, little gear. Um, and I played it and it was fun, and it really just crushed the campaign, and overall, it was fantastic. Now I have an entire PoE, and before I really get into it, I'm going to say a couple of

things one I know. I'm swapping off of LA hit of the spectrum and I want to try this, and I really want to play this two. This suits all of the needs of what I want to do. I want to play a mapping character. I'm not interested in bossing. I don't want to boss. I'll be able to get my two stones, maybe three and four with this setup. If I'm feeling adventurous, I might actually try to three and four stone myself with this build. This build has done and performed beyond just amazing and fantastic and wonderful. It is going to take a little bit of finessing if you're going to start it, and you're going to copy it. I have included step-by-step instructions if you choose to copy it. These step-by-step instructions are mostly for me because I'm an airhead, and I'm going to need my handheld. And honestly, I wouldn't be here, and this wouldn't exist without the help of my wonderful twitch chat, my buddy Blossom, and a few other people I've

actually included them here and a big shout out to them. Also, I watched a video of Jung do a four-stone with it, and it looked insane. I really didn't watch or look at his PO or what anything, but I pretty much just watched him crush things with it, and it looked great. So big shout out to Jung, and you know, thanks for like putting this out there so I like saw it and looked at it and peaked at it and was like I want to play that. And then I worked with the community, and we put this together. This build, um, we'll go back into the p a second. This build I played in Solo self-found. I did a two-stone run. It took me, I think it was like 12 or 13 hours to do it. If I type my slash play right now, my slash plate is 18 hours. Four of those hours were spent, uh, in Labs hunting down poison concoction of bouncing poison concoction bouncing was the hardest, most tedious thing to obtain out of labs ever, and I'm never, I, bro, I

don't know how ussf guys do it, bro. I'm buying this thing on trade. I will be live searching this and buying this as soon as it's available. I never want to do labs again for an ALT quality gem ever, but overall the build plays really good. It plays really well. Um, I know I said I have 18 hours. Four of those were spent in Labs, two of those were spent inside of Po, and in the game, so about 12 and 1 half hours to get two stones. My Atlas, relatively not too bad. 47 Maps completed for two void stones. And you know, we pretty much got 1, 2, 3, four favorite map slots. I was not able to unlock the second atlas tree in this run, which I thought was fine, but I did the typical blight Atlas that I talked about in my video. If you haven't seen my video, I have a video that I just released about this atlas tree and the progression that I took and how I did all this and why I'm taking

the nodes the way that I'm taking them. But overall poison concoction and bouncing plays really well. It just you throw a poison concoction and it just bounces all over the screen, and it pretty much hits the whole screen. The only downside to this build is it is a DOT build, so when I go attack things, it is going to need to dot them. Dots take time to tick, ticking is really annoying, some people like it, some people don't like it, and overall I don't know. I really really really enjoyed it. The build has been able to do and handle a lot of really cool map modifiers. It has pretty good sustain in life. It's able to do a whole lot of wild things, and overall I really liked it. In my testing, I found a pair of tanu AIS. I do plan on League setting these. These are in the early game description of the PO. These usually fingers cross aren't too expensive, so when I found them, I kept them on. The rest of the gear is really bad. The tanu AIS have a flame Dash in it.

a faster attacks and a shield charge. The ring is really bad. The helmet is not good. The helmet had the peacock and bouncing GMP greater volley Unbound elements. The armor was bad. It wasn't even socketed. It only had withering St in despair. The boots movement speed life. The boots were like okay. In the prefixes the suffixes were bad. This was Herald of Agony which we aren't actually even using. Uh blood rage CMA damage taken steel skin. And then the shield. The Shield just kind of did shield things. And this was haste precision and Grace. The belt was a stat stick. As far as the ascendency and stuff goes you see we're assassin. I messed around with a tree a little bit. I have refined the tree in the PO. But playing in an ssf environment trying to test and mimic a real world environment caused me to have to do a couple of very interesting things and made it all set up. Now we're going to hop this map. I'm going to show you how this works.

before I do that, I'm going to explain one thing really quick. Poison concoction and bouncing bounces all around the screen. The number of bounces are equal to the number of chains that your character has. 11 chains, 11 bounces, and it uses eight flash charges because we're playing assassin and because we crit, we gain flash charges back really fast. It is not too difficult to gain flash charges, but we'll go over the tree, how it all works, everything you need to know. When I built this in SSF before, I refined the tree with the help of Blossom and everybody. I like mess this up horribly. This tree is not refined. This SSF run is pretty much just like bare bones, barely put together, and you'll see it does like this is going to be a tier 16 map, and you saw right there we took a hit. We took a hit right away, didn't immediately die, and you can see the damage in itself is relatively good. I do have the Eater and Xar. I will link them in the

description down below so that you guys can take a look at and watch how they were done. Um, one of the things I would like to have wish I had in this was phasing at some point, but you see the damage in itself is really not that bad. Doing a map in itself ended up going fairly well. Now this map, um, has a void element which doesn't affect us. Monsters have increased accuracy. Monsters hits ignite. We have no spell suppression, and you know we're able to just like kind of work our way through it without a whole lot of problems. You see we went to go take a hit there, we almost died, and and we leeched it right back up. One of the biggest things that's really cool about poison concoction and bouncing is you see it while I'm playing it, it can bounce its life all around because peacock of bouncing is bouncing and hitting so many times so fast, and we're throwing so many vials that are bouncing. One of our biggest defensive layers is leech and life gained on hint.

instant leech so like just like how like other classes are doing it, we're really really really taking advantage of like leech and Recovery. Our defenses, you know, with better gear will get better, we will be able to take slightly better hits, we'll have slightly better recovery. But this is built to be a softcore mapper, you know, we're looking to open up maps, Blitz Maps as fast as possible and just kind of go next, you know, with also like flask and stuff and everything running smoothly, it'll be really good poison concoctions of balancing damage scales off of our life blast. So if you are going to play this and you are thinking about playing this, you need to make sure that you keep up to date with your life flas, your life flast is going to be one of your biggest sources of damage especially in the campaign so you're going to want to make sure that you spend the time to upgrade it and get it rolling. You can see on a four link with very terrible gear we're killing and clearing packs of mobs.

relatively easily. We dot them up, we keep on moving, and you know, all is really good. This version of SSF was not utilizing pretty much anything that's going to make the build good. We weren't using Perfect Agony, we didn't really have good gear, we were on a pretty bum four-link, and overall, you know, we were missing quality. We're missing better flask, we're missing quality on our flask, and there's a lot of just in this test, there's a lot of room for improvement, and you can see right away, you know, we could stand there and take relatively decent hits on our starter with pretty much no gear at all, and it ends up working out really well. I'm kind of hoping I can find the map boss in the next couple of seconds because I feel like I've been yapping for so long, and people are going to be like, Oh my god, get to the PO, explain how things work, and I'm like, You got it, Chief. I'm going to put that there because I know from

yapping. I'm going to end up dying, and we're going to try really, really, really hard to not die. I mean, it should be relatively easy to not die. I mean, the character ended up being like way better than I thought it was going to me. It did die a bunch 'cause I'm an idiot, but I mean, like, that's fine. And you can see as soon as we start stacking up poisons on the boss, we get some Withers going, we press our buttons, he just starts falling over, and it's not that bad, you know. We make sure we give him a little curse, a little smoochy with a little C on you know, and everything just kind of goes all right any day now. The only bad side, like I had mentioned, is it is a DOT build. We do have to scale our dots, we do have to get our dots rolling, and that can take a little bit of time and becomes, you know, for some people annoying, for others they don't mind. I know I personally don't mind, and I know that this can hit dot.

cap relatively easily so it should be relatively sweet. Okay, we're just going to get him dead and you see the map itself took is about 4 minutes with better gear this will go a heck of a lot faster. Okay, and is this it? Is this the last one? Nice, perfect, let's get out of here. All right, that's it, that's the build, this is how it plays, let's talk about the PO and everything you need to know. The PO in itself is designed to hold both your hand and my hand. I don't remember all the steps to take, I've only played it through testing for the last couple of days, and there's a lot of ups and downs and things that I want to know and I want to talk about. Step one, first things first, you can actually follow along act by act. I have pretty much with the community worked to make it as pretty much straightforward as possible. We're going to be taking assassin that we can get crit. We're going to be going right over to coordination for attack speed.

stuff like that. And we're going to maybe line our way right down right away to the flash Mastery. The reason why this is important is in act one, we don't get poison concoction until Level 12. Level 12 is when we really get poison concoction, and we can really start doing things. But regular poison concoction, depending on the amount of throws that we do, uses more flash charges. So when we pair poison concoction with LMP and volley, we get really big damage, but we really eat through our flasks. So we got to make sure that we have a way to sustain that. And that's why we go immediately for the flash charges right off the bat. When I leveled this character in early levels and early AXS, I had three FL, three Health flasks, one Mana flask, until leech nodes, and then one movement speed flask, because you just kind of burn through your health flask. And like I had mentioned, you really want to stay up to par and up to date on your Health Plus. Is going to be the most important thing.

in act one uh from what I read we will now get Shield charge at level four. If socket provide Shield charge faster attack Frost blink if not just Shield charge Frost blink. We can get withering step we can get steel skin for bleeds and until Level 12. I really love leveling spectral throw spectral throw is one of my favorite skills in the game. I am very comfortable with spectral throws so any skill that you're really comfortable with you can even like mule Lancing. I think it's Lancing steel or they one of the steel skills from dualist and move that over and even level that but I'm personally going to be leveling spectral throw with volley chance the poison and then once I get to level 12 I'm going to be swapping on over to poisonous concoction leral projectiles and volley going into act two all we're really doing is adding heral of Agony until later on we're going to be dropping haral of Agony really quick but to just to get started we're going to be

using for a little bit of extra damage, and we're going to grab Blood Rage to get us some frenzy charges to help us attack quicker. Act two, we kind of go right straight on over to poison nodes, and poison nodes deal damage, you know, faster and increased damage coming straight from these nodes to these nodes will give you tons, and I mean tons of damage. The minute you get this wheel, your damage is going to skyrocket. Poison concoction is insane, it is crazy, it is really, really, really strong, and is going to be awesome. Assuming you're playing this on League start, you're probably not going to have access to poison concoction or bouncing right away, but regular poison concoction can get you into maps and start mapping, no problem, not a big deal. Going to act three, we're going to be taking a little bit of precision nudes, taking some life. The Mastery for skills cost a little bit of life to ease up the Mana cost, some leash nodes over here, some in index, and some more life, pretty straightforward. Our skills aren't

really going to change. We're going to keep the Herald of Agony. We're going to pick up the spare. We're going to pick up haste. Haste is just going to give us a nice little quality of life moving through the campaign. If you want more resistances, purity of elements and ailment immunity from purity of elements will be top top top tier. We are going to pair haste and purity of elements together a little bit later on CU as we go through the axe and get more nodes and get more levels. We're eventually going to take this new wheel here to reduce the Mana cost of attacks, give us a little bit of Mana reservation, and Charisma. Once we compare Charisma with the Mana reservation, we can very very comfortably fit in Purity developments and haste, the 2 50% auras. We don't have to worry. We have by the time we're in act four nice resistances, ailment immunity, haste, and all the beautiful stuff that goes with it. Withering Stu for damage, blood rage for attack speed.

steel skin to remove bleeds and poison concoction should possibly. If we find a four-link, go into a four-link. Unbound elements is going to give us that nice little bit of damage to get us going. Our skills don't change until we're in act six, where we just continue to do the exact same thing and blast through the campaign. The only thing that we're doing in act six is we're going to try to do and line up our links a little. Well, we want to do the shield charge with the faster attack so we move faster. We want to do the immortal call with the more duration or the steel skin. I think we're going to stay steel skin, so we're going to update this to Steel skin. We're going to change this to Immortal call a little later on, and I'll talk about that in a little bit why we're changing it to Immortal call, but we're going to do the steel skin, the more duration, the Haste, The purity of elements, and our Atlas Tre.

is pretty much going to progress. In Act Four, we'll grab Assassin and we'll take the first set of nodes for more poison chance, so they have good poison chance going into Five. You see right away we come down here, we get a little bit of Life nodes. Over here we get a little bit of movement speed and suppression. You don't need to go over here right away and grab these nodes. I took these nodes because I wanted a little bit of extra movement speed to blitz through the campaign. The movement speed is nice. It that you go fast, you get a little bit of life, a little bit of suppression. The suppression doesn't do a whole lot, but we get a little bit of movement speed to kind of start cruising and not really thinking. Going to Act Six, we have the entire bottom side of the tree done. We grab a little bit more damage here, a little bit of damage there, a crit node there, and we're just kind of getting ready to go. Act Seven, a little bit of crit, we're starting to set up for that.

perfect agony swap as soon as we can get there. Our damage is going to absolutely skyrocket going to act eight. We're starting to work our way up the right side of the tree. We're going to eventually get on over to eldritch battery, and eldritch battery is going to allow us to continue to cast all of our skills stack on Precision without any worries and pretty much just give us a little bit of a comfort barrier to be able to constantly use our skills and not have to worry about Mana going into 10. We're just going to finish up and round out some attack speed, some extra PES pick a couple masteries, and then we're going to go into early Maps. Now when we get into early Maps, there's a couple of things you want to pick up poison concoction to bouncing as fast as possible. You want to try to get a five link as fast as possible. I did everything at a four link you see links can do it there's videos and there's there's tests and all kinds

of stuff, but if you could pick up a fifth link, it'll help a lot. You want to have the fifth link so that you can have increased critical strikes. This is going to be really important for getting us towards that crit cap. You're also going to want to pick up Assassin's Mark. Mark on hit. This also gives us more opportunity for crit, and we're going to make sure that our tree gets filled in quite nicely. For our Assassin, we're going to take Unstable Infusion as our third lab. This will give us the power charges that we need. In our second lab, we're going to take Opportunistic. This is lab two. This will give us more damage against all unique and rare monsters and pretty much just kind of set us up to go. Our skills, nothing's really changed. We are going to make the swap to Immortal Call. Now we're going to use Immortal Call because we're going to pair with an anoint on our necklace called Aggressive Bastion. As you saw while I was playing.

now I can take a couple of hits. It's not too bad. It's kind of okay. You don't immediately just flop over. And the reason we take that. We know we could do this is the reason why we take aggressive Bastion. Aggressive Bastion gives us a 10% chance to get endurance charge on kill while holding a shield. We are holding a shield. We will be killing tons of mobs. This is indeed a mapping build. We should be able to get endurance charges and cap out our endurance charges for a mortal call. So you press Immortal call when you need it. Boom. Boom. You're done. Nothing to worry about. It gives you the less damage taken. The endurance charges. Everything looks beautiful. You press it on cool down. You feel really good about yourself. But that's early Maps. That's early map skills and why we do what we do. Now in terms of how gearing is going to go for early Maps. You saw the gear that I used. Now to kill inar was not good. It was bad. It was like off the

floor like my cousin Jimmy, Johnny, sister's cousin Tony can pick up better gear and put it on. But I mean, you know, we're trying to mimic the worst possible case scenario and make sure it works. The gear in the early game section is just as bad. It's actually just the gear I was wearing. The only big difference in the gear in this section is we added Unles Harmony. This amulet is insane. It gives us 360% increased Global Critical Strike chance. Our crits don't deal extra damage, which we don't care. A little bit of life, a little bit of Mana, Dex, and end. This is pretty much going to be a big backbone of what we're doing. This amulet should not, fingers crossed, be too expensive. It should drop plentiful. Please don't buy out the market and ruin this for me. I know you're crazy, don't do it. But when you get this amulet, you really start to take off. Your damage starts to feel really good. You'll have a nice little amount of crit and you can

start to work your way into perfect Agony now. As you level, as you do things, as you go through like the whole beginning of maps, you don't really have to worry about changing your gear. You'll be able to progress. I have a nice little 85 tree that pretty much goes over a couple of things. It gives you ghost dance, soul thief, a little bit extra. You get some chaining range for some more damage until you get better links and better gear. And then eventually you'll make your way into the mid game, and we'll start to make that swap. We'll start to pick up better gear, we'll start to work our tree a little bit, we'll, you know, we're like maybe level 88, 90, maybe 91, and we're trying to make that nice little swap to the perfect Agony set up. If you're not there and you don't feel comfortable yet, I do have a level 93 for you. It does do with where a doom, so you can have the two anoints or the two curses. It has pretty much everything.

that you need to do to like pretty much make your way to that. Swap this is the tree that I should have been on when I killed eer and xar with like actual gear but you know I live in my learn when we make the swap though and we go to the perfect Agony swap you'll see. We're going to set up for a cluster but not a whole lot changes. We click on perfect Agony we get a little spell suppression a little life just to fit in until we get our clusters. We get some crit damage nodes we pick up some more energy shield and pretty much not a whole lot changes. We're going to shift around a few nodes and shift around a few points and because gold is now a factor and we can. Respec with gold it makes it really easy to make these aggressive swaps and not have to worry if you end up worrying about Respec and stuff just go kill a couple of mobs get some gold buy regrets off the auction house and if you're playing an ssf use

the vendor and and sell and trade things. Our skills in the mid game are going to pretty much change. We're going to aim for that six-link. Our six-link is going to be a big thing. Void manipulation is going to be a big source of damage. We really want to get our six-link. Everything else doesn't change. Immortal call, blood rage, withering set, more duration, haste, purity of elements, Precision, enlightened to clear up some Mana. The Enlighten you can get, you don't need it right away. You see right here we have 21% on reserved Mana. If I click, we have 15% unreserved Mana. We do have Elder battery. We don't really need the inlay in but it gives us a little bit of comfort, a little bit of breathing room, a little quality of life. It'll be something we work towards an aim for. As far as gear goes in the mid game, we're not really changing a whole lot. We're picking up a leper Ms to just get us some more damage for.

increased duration of ailments. We're picking up a lightning coil to give us more Fizz taken as Lightning. This will be really nice for defenses. We still have the angles. We still have the Tanu AIS. We will, and it's important note that we'll probably upgrade our boots. We'll upgrade our ring, and we'll probably have to change our belt to meet stat requirements and to fill in our resistances. Very important to note that the boots, the ring, the belt, and a couple other things are going to change when we go towards the mid-game, and we start putting on more uniques. More uniques means that we're going to have to address the elephant in the room: our resistances, our life, our defense. Fixing our flask. Our flasks are relatively straightforward. We're going to be using one to two life flasks. Since we're mapping, we don't need a whole lot of Life flask. When we start doing like bigger things, you want to add more life flask, like if you're going to go fight

Maven, you might want three life flasks if you're going to go fight Elder. You might want three life flasks if you're fighting like Sirus, Exarch, and Eater. You probably want two, but if you're just straight mapping and you're cruising, you're not thinking. You really only need one, but not that big of a deal coming in after the mid-game where we get this gear and we put it all together. This Parandis pack, by the way, I'm going to take a second talk about the Parandis pack, by the way. I don't know how rare these things are going to be. If you can't get it, don't stress. If you can get it, great. If not, don't worry about it. Just don't put it in there. Put anything, put a jewel in, don't matter. But let's talk about the end game. Now that we know how to level, now we know how it's going to play. Let's talk about the end game and the cluster swap. We are eventually going to swap into clusters for more damage.

Clusters are going to be a very large or a large 12% increased chaos damage cluster. Unholy Grace unwavering even Wicked Paul if you might need resistances. That's why the resistances are there so you might need when you swap to like the juicer gear you might need a little resistances here and there. I'm a little overcapped on resistances so you might not need them but you might need to play you might need to get resistances on your large cluster just keep that in mind. The medium cluster same thing chaos resistance all resistance basics of paying quick getaway for nice crit damage more damage same thing here basics of paying quick get away a little bit of chaos resistance if we can get it if not we still should be positive chaos resistance. Our small Jewels here aren't really adding a whole lot we hit thought cap relatively easily so we don't need more damage so we just get life and resistances life and resistances and a little bit of crit multi to just make

sure we rounded out quite nicely. Overall, the build looks really good, and it's really strong. I'll talk to you about how to calculate your DPS and what to do now. The other thing to note is the LOL just resist es in life, but everything else is pretty much straightforward. I do have a Watcher's Eye in the build right now. The Watcher's Eye in the build is Flash charges with Critical Strike while Precision and crit multi will effective Precision. The really important note here is the Flash charges when you deal a crit with Precision. That is the big important one. If you can only get one mod, do that. Other mods that are really good are probably like haste, with Onslaught, but yeah, I mean single Precision flash charge on kill is going to be really important. Otherwise, I don't know what else there is. I haven't really looked around a whole lot, but this should be like pretty much it in terms of our gear. When we go to like the really expensive side of things, I'm adding in Asen's Gentle Touch. I want to

blight. I want to do blight stuff, and I think these gloves are insane. They do exactly what I want to do. They give us explosions, they give us temp chains, they give us cool curses. They pretty much fill a lot of the holes of blighting that I want. These are probably going to be one of the things that I aim for very early. Essence Gentle Touch with a corruption for a curse is going to be very strong. Ideally, the curse is Despair, and Feeble is also really good. There is a div card. I'm going to put a link to the name of the div card. I don't know where the div card is going to drop in 3.25 because all the div cards are changing, but there will be a div card where we can actually farm for double corrupt pairs of Gentle Touch, and we can maybe get a nice attack speed one with Despair or like and Feeble and Despair, but you know we have options. Now you're going to say, Hey man.

you've got in feeble and despair and temp chains and all these things working. How are you fitting in all of your curses? Well, we're going to get this probably going to be really expensive ring. We don't care about the power charge when you gain a curse. We don't care about the cast speed. The int is really nice. All we care about is your curse limit is equal to your maximum power charges. Because we have three power charges, we can have three curses. Pretty straightforward, pretty simple. This allows us to skip the whole needing of Whispers of Doom. So that's pretty cool. Something else to note, um, Blight Ravage is going to be a thing. I'm going to do a lot of Blight Ravage. There might be a world, might maybe possibly be a world where unique amulet drop with two annoyance. I don't know if that's going to happen, but there's a world. If that's a world that exists, you might want to just keep a live search going for unles.

with the annoyance on them and just see what shows up because there might be something crazy because we're mapping. We're going to be using death Rush death Rush gives us adrenaline adrenaline gives us damage and resists or damage and PDR damage and PDR where is adrenaline it does something gives us attack damage cast speed attack speed movement speed physical damage reduction. Adrenaline's really good I knew it did some good stuff I couldn't remember all the good stuff they did but I knew it did some good stuff but yeah that's pretty much everything going into the end game setup of skills. We just pick up you know awaken Unbound elements awaken void manipulation you can go awaken GMP it's probably going to be crazy expensive I'm not doing it I might do it maybe I'll do it I don't know yet I'll feel see how I feel about it but we're going to try to pick up a 2120 poison concoction of bound bouncing Boop of bouncing I don't know why that wasn't of.

bouncing. Let's fix this too while we're at it, and then check over here. Boom, baby, bouncing. This is going to be the bee's knees. Now everything else relatively same in feeble on the gloves, temp chains on the gloves, blood rage moral call more duration, assassin's Mark, Mock, and hit withering step, despair. Despair. Sadly, we're going to be self-casting. You only really need to cast despair on big mobs that aren't dying like map bosses, blight bosses, uh, simulacrum bosses, anything that just didn't immediately die. Despair does a lot of damage. Cast despair. Then we have the haste, P, elements, precision, and lighten. And this. And this is all the same. That's really it. That's pretty much everything. If you're looking to figure out how to calculate your damage with this build, you see we have some damage numbers here. Poison concoction of bouncing will bounce every time it chains. So, right now, I have it set to 11 chains. That's because GMP gives it

four projectiles, a volley. Gives it four, that's eight. This is 9 + 2, 10, 11 or 9, 10. This is plus two, that's 10. And then this is 11, 11's right here, 11's right there. So we set this to 11, we click include in full DPS. And then we go over to the calculations. We have enemies at close range. We do indeed have enemies at close range. We are mapping that matters for the attack Mastery. The attack says increase attack speed per enemy in close range. That matters. Is the enemy cursed? You will either curse them with your gloves. You will cast despair. You will curse them. Or you will Assassin's Mark and they will be cursed. The enemy will indeed be poisoned. There will be enemies that you will get 20 stacks of poison very easily. You throw one poison concoction, it bounces a whole lot of times. You throw a whole lot of them, it bounces a whole lot of times. It's very easy to get to 20 and wither.

sacks are going to be very easy as well. And if you say, how are we withering? Well, there's a 20% chance to inflict wither for 2 seconds here. Plus, withering step will give you a lot of wither. You should, in theory, be able to hit wither cap. We have power charges. We are assassin. We have frenzy charges. We have blood rage. We have endurance charges. Because we are mapping, we can actually unclick endurance charges. It will not change our DPS. It will, though, change and upgrade our effective hit pool. But we are a mapping build. We have adrenaline. Adrenaline is because we are a mapping build. And we will be mapping and killing mobs. Or we'll be blatant killing mobs. But you can easily unclick this. And you can unclick endurance charges. We should have multiple nearby enemies. Because we are mapping. If there is only one nearby enemy. Or you want to see what it looks like when only a boss is around. Changes to one. We will always have a rare unique enemy. That will be our bosses. And we

will always have applied at least 20 poisons, and there will be a guardian boss nearby. That's it. That's the DPS. That's the basic simplest way to do it and to put it on. But if you want to check all the other cool stuff, you just kind of, you know, click on endurance charges, enemies nearby, number of unique enemies. Put this to five. We have killed recently. You don't have to say you killed recently. The enemy poison is the enemy cursed. If you shut off curses and you don't have the spirit, you'll lose a lot of damage. Now, poison concoction of bouncing will look like it'll do less damage than poison concoction. Poison concoction will say it does more damage. Poison concoction bouncing will say it does less damage. This is fine. This bounces around. This hits everything. This is damage with no flask, by the way. So if you have no flask charges, this is the damage that you do. And if you have flask charges, this is the damage that you do. This is why it's important to make sure.

your flash does not suck. I always love doing that. Oh, I guess I'm out of flask. I guess I have some flask. Your damage too going from 20 to 21 will upgrade your damage by by a million so it's kind of worth it. The reason why flask are so important and the reason why we're playing Pathfinder is a couple of reasons. One, we are always going to crit and we're always going to be crit. We're 100% crit chance. This gives us flash charges from this which is going to be really really really nice. We are going to get this. You always gain flash charges from CR which is also going to be really really nice. We're going to gain flash charges from this. We're going to gain flash charges from this. We're going to gain flash charges from everything. Everything we do is going to give us flash charges because we are playing a really cool build. Our flask let's talk flask. Flask are going to be really important. You are going to want a Divine Life FL.

going to want to try to get this thing to 30%. It's going to fall off the ground. You have to pick up flask and look for 30 Divine or 30 quality flask. You have to. It's the only thing we can do. We are going to try to increase the amount of recovery to the Moon, straight to the moon. So we want to make sure that the higher the life total is on our flast, the more damage that we do. If you can't get 30% quality flask, 20 will be fine. You can corrupt your flask to 30. I think that's how we do it. I think we get a 20% flask and then we corrupt it, and that's how it goes to 30. I don't know if it drops on the ground. I assume it drops on the ground or they change it because it used to go to 40, but I think they drop on the ground. So just, you know, if they don't corrupt your flask, literally corrupt your flask, get it to 30. It has.

to get there, you want the 5,000 life. You absolutely want it. We have a topaz flask to get us to that nice beautiful 80% resistance and to give us extra resistances. Charge recovery rate is going to be really good. These flasks have a lot of charges, they last forever, they are quite lovely and very strong. Same thing with the Sulfur flask, reduce effective curse so we can't be cursed or we have less curse effect. Charge recovery as well. Ruby flask, charge recovery, increase attack speed. And then lastly we have a quicksilver flask with movement speed and movement speed. This is a really interesting flex spot. I think there's a world where you can make this an in flask if you're doing like simulacrums or something. You could also probably make this an onslaught flask. We do have Shield charge. Shield charge makes it so that we don't absolutely positively need a quicksilver flask. Shield charge is really nice. Shield charge plus Frost blink is really nice. But you know a quicksilver flask is also nice. I do plan

on experimenting with an onslaught flask, and I do plan on experimenting with a phasing flask to see kind of like what I'm doing. You can always change your belt too off of um a heavy belt to a stiggy and ice, and then figure out how you're going to do the strength and like figure out some strength and maybe get some of these and change these up for some strength and get phasing on kill, but overall that is relatively the build. There's not a whole lot um. I really didn't add a lot of notes uh other than thank you guys and disclaimer this is just what I'm doing. Proceed with caution, that's really it man. The build is pretty straightforward, it's pretty good, it's really strong. I don't know how I'll how long I'll play it. I don't even know if I'll make it to. I'll probably actually make it to here. I really kind of really like this build. I did, I did a lot, I thought it was really cool, but I'll at least make it to here and kind of make

some changes and adjustments. If I change anything, if I adjust anything, if I make any weird changes, I will update you on a new video. I will update you on Twitch. I will update you on YouTube. So keep that in mind and keep checking back. Um, but yeah, that's about it. If you have any questions, please let me know. I don't mind helping you guys out or figuring out. Or if I don't know, I'll ask somebody. Somebody else might know. But yeah, I mean overall the damage in itself looks relatively good. You know, just make sure you have the right kind of gear on. Make sure you have the right endgame stuff on. And you should, you know, if everything goes well, you should cruise, man. I know where's adrenaline click, dude. Adrenaline's so dumb. Adrenaline is so dumb. I mean, it's definitely bait to click this though. If you're ever thinking about bossing, it's not a bossing build. Don't do bossing stuff with it. But yeah, it's about it.

it's about it. I'm just going to unclick this and unclick this so I don't get yelled at. Looks good. All right, for now friends, I'm going to get this video out to you guys. If you have any questions, let me know, but good luck on your le start. I hope you guys get many of divines and you know, see what happens. Let me know. All right, out of here. So long, have a good night. Bye friends. For this is not a battle you can win. Ling ring B pass. I think M this SI I mcable cons youting ring pass from. All right, we're going to do the incandescent invitation with the exact same setup in gear that the eater fight had. Your absurd Defiance ends here. Hatching Annihilation ination disintegration cing annihilation. Sons, you do not have the strength hatchling. That may be, but I am not alone. How pathetic incineration disintegration cing the fir of thousand Sons. Dang it, dang it. I was so close. Is he bag?

Annihilation, disintegration, cleansing. Annihilation, ination, disintegration, cleansing, annihilation. Do not ball face. Annihilation, incineration, the fire god. No, what is this? Oh. [Laughter] God, disintegration, cleansing, incineration. Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed. Easy, nice. There we go, and we got a shield. Let's go, dude. Perfect, nice.
