Notes
Core Mechanics and Playstyle:
The heart of the Poison Seismic Trap Assassin lies in its ability to capitalize on poison damage over time (DoT) and efficient trap placement. By utilizing poison mechanics, you'll steadily erode your enemies' health while maintaining a safe distance. The core clear skill in this build is Exsanguinate, linked with Chain, Unleash, and Faster Casting. This combination ensures efficient AoE damage output without sacrificing casting speed. Blade Vortex with Unleash can also be used for clearing, though it may not be as optimal as Exsanguinate.
Ascendancy Choice:
The Assassin ascendancy stands out as the clear choice for this build due to its incredible damage potential. Compared to other options, especially Pathfinder, Assassin brings about double the damage output, making it an ideal pick for the early game. Noxious Strike, an Assassin ascendancy node, is the linchpin for early game poison scaling and power.
Clear Skill Options:
The primary clear skill for this build is Exsanguinate. When paired with chain, unleash, and faster casting support gems, Exsanguinate offers efficient and satisfying clear potential. While there's another option in the form of Blade Vortex linked with unleash, Exsanguinate takes the crown for its superior early-game poison damage scaling.
Skill Gem Setup:
Here's the suggested skill gem setup for Exsanguinate:
Exsanguinate (main skill) + Chain + Unleash + Faster Casting
Build Progression:
The leveling process for this build involves transitioning from Spectral Throw to Poisonous Concoction to Exsanguinate, gradually picking up key nodes and damage-boosting skills along the way. Leveling is relatively smooth, with Blade Vortex being an alternate choice for AoE damage as you progress.
Passive Tree:
The passive tree centers around key nodes for poison damage, trap scaling, and survivability. The choice between damage and utility nodes depends on personal preference and the type of content you're tackling. With the addition of "Battle Rouse" notable this patch, make sure to balance mana cost with Energy Shield (ES) reserves, especially if using Eldritch Battery.
