With spellslinger you have some good choices for a nice spell to complement your attacks right?

Wand attack projectiles are now considered larger for the purposes of collision detection against monsters

This is good foor KB right?

The Wandslinger cluster north of the Witch has been reworked. It now grants 25% increased Damage while wielding a Wand, 5% increased Attack Speed with Wands, and causes increases and reductions to Spell Damage to apply to Attacks while wielding a Wand. The passives preceding it grant a total of 24% increased Damage while wielding a Wand, and 4% increased Attack Speed with Wands.

Isn't that a big thing? Or am I misunderstanding it?

Some assassin changes but they don't do much I think. A bit more damage but 5% reduced attack speed.

Well increases to attack damage do not apply to poison so Wandslinger is mostly useless for this build.
Larger collision box for KB will be very very nice.
For Assassin, Elusive got slightly nerfed but overall still good so at least that part do not really affects the build.

What's the verdict on this build as a league starter for 3.10?

Did the build get many buffs or not? If it doesn't utilise spellslinger then surely other builds will be a better option?

The build got around 9% more damage from PS buff, crafting good wand is now a bit more expensive, but Obliteration got buffed by a lot, what means it will carry the build further than it could before.

For Spellslinger, this is Attack build, and Spellslinger do not really has synergy with Poison (as Spell damage do not affects poison, so there is no point in trying to make hybrid build really). Also we already reserve all mana so Spellslinger do not fits.

I personally think that Spellslinger will be a trap in general (outside of maybe VD + Desecrate and Ice Nova + Frostbolt), but we will see.

OP Will you be playing this build as league starter and finessing it? Or will you be busy with other builds?

I like to play builds that are evolved during a league and enhanced especially with the new cluster jewels etc... speaking of which, are there many viable options for cluster jewels for this build?

Currently I am deciding between mana ele wander and this, still not sure. Mana wander is probs way too risky so I might end up with poison one anyway.

For jewels, yeah. The chaos explosion one is huge (Unspeakable Gifts) before getting explody chest/after switching from Obliteration. Antivenom is neat with Golden Rule, Born of Chaos maybe for Divine Flesh. The life gained on hit is really good as well because of how many hits are we doing (Feast of Flesh)

Ok how do we craft our wand now? Poison more multiplier is Elder.
Does this mean Abberant Fossil cannot roll flat chaos damage on wands any more at all? Maybe it means that you need Elder and Hunter and Abberant Fossil only helps crafting the Hunter flat chaos damage?

Elder has chaos damage to spells too and if you use Spellslinger that acutally does something.

Hmm no I guess that is not correct. The prefix on wands that rolls flat chaos damage is called Malicious and it can appear on any ilvl 83+ wand.

Flat chaos is mod from regular pool, so its available on any ilvl83+ attack weapon. The crafting method just changed from any ilvl83+ imbued wand to elder ilvl83+ imbued wand. Fossils used are still the same.

I tested Animate weapon on live for a bit at low levels. It felt quite strong.

My plan for early leveling is:

EK-LMP
Animate Weapon-Summon Phantasm-Added Cold-(Added Lightning)

After Merveil I will try to add in BV. Maybe instead of EK.

My idea for this build in endgame is using Spellslinger and Animate Weapon-Withering Touch-Feeding Frenzy. This should give us another defensive layer and allows us to get rid of Wither totem. I am currently debating how I will proc the weapons. I am currently thinking about hard-casting it with Unleash or Spell Echo. Currently not sure if Feeding Frenzy is needed to keep Withering Touch up of if Increased Duration would be better. It would help Withering Touch and the weapons if they so manage to stay alive for that long.

Sadly Protector totem is melee only. But we can now use any other totem, even Decoy.

The new cluster jewel notable Antivenom is insane for the build.

I think you skipped the line that explains your wands physical attack damage is added to the spell? With that damage being added to a bladefall that procs 2-4(depending on the cd that it will have) times a second the poison stacks would ramp up that much faster.

Hey, i havent played PoE for the 3 past leagues and i'm considering trying your build for 3.10.

Could you give me an approx price for the gear you have in your PoB link ?

Also, the damage seams a bit low on PS but i guess this is because barrage support doesnt work on PoB ?
