[3.13] Power Siphon/Kinetic Blast Poison Assassin - Very fast and tanky poison wander

Finally managed to kill Sirus A8 in 3 ports, crafted this helm which helped,



and he only tped offscreen once to beam me, so I guess I got lucky on his ports

On another note

Small build update:

21th March 2020
- Improved Cluster Jewel tree by a bit (more survivability, possible Voices instead of Large Cluster later after PoB gets support for it)

Did you update pastebin link? Cause I see no difference between new and old one. There're 2 Wasting Affliction, HAemorrhage and Feast of flesh clusters.

Edit: Oh, NVM, I've noticed the changes at the bottom of passive tree. And I like the new tree more - these life nods near Scion are too god to skip them :)

Can i play kinetic bolt instead of kinetic blast ?

problem with sirus and golden rule is he does not allow you to get full stacks, he is constantly immune / dropping off poison, so unless you get natural 85% Choas res, you are going to have a bad time using divine flesh.

The other big issue is I think most of his beams/attacks are not dodgeable.

Did they change anything about him from 3.9? Because back then I could dodge everything he threw at me.

Of course. But I tried K bolt instead of K blast and its clear is a lot worse imo.

In p3 he heals up to 75%. In p3 his spinning quad beams now do action slow, if you get hit by it, it is almost impossible to dodge his die lazers. Last league I was able to just run through beams no problem dodging, but now I have to flame dash through with expert timing, which is the hard part. His corridor maze is also harder I think, he teleports you in deeper.

Trust me he is a lot harder, I did 75 awakener kills last league for challenge so I have experience.

Honestly the only thing that really kills me is he teleports offscreen, then deathbeam, since you don't know how to dodge that.

It's as if GGG ran out of interesting ideas to make content engaging...

oh, wait a second, that's this entire league with its on-death mechanics!

Does the "Touch of Cruelty" notable on the medium cluster jewel work with this build? I guess neither Power Siphon nor Kinetic Blast are chaos skills, regardless of their support gems?

Correct, it doesnt work. Even though you can make the 10% inc damage taken work with Aspect of Spider (as it hinders stuff).

wither totems apply hinder as well, so it is mostly for bossing
