Now the build feels quite complete. My next goal would be to defeat the Trialmaster himself. Maybe push to level 93 or 94 if I have the patience.
PoB level 92 : https://pastebin.com/1nAMMw7s

I have displayed the build on Badger's Discord for his build competition (all details here), and added a new video to showcase it in T16.
This time, our little viper is facing huge threats. But remember : the bigger they are...

#5 : The Harder They Fall

Hope you like it :)

Your two rings are really good ! 19% inc effect of Malevolence, 1 min frenzy, frenzy on kill, dmg recouped as mana...

Also congrats for the Glimpse of Chaos without 0 chaos res :)

You can add an anointment on your amulet : Corruption would be the cheapest, or if you have a golden oil : Atrophy or Disciple of the Slaughter.

For your next 3 levels, get the Acuity cluster on the tree to get 100% hit chance. Or try to add a large cluster jewels with Gladiator's Fortitude and Martial Prowess.

You can save 2 pts already : one in Fatal Toxins cluster and one before Claws of the Hawk (this notable is not very useful IMO).
Then 2 pts by removing a jewel from a normal socket.

I have just reworked the skill tree : https://pastebin.com/Nn3x0XMr

Two corrupted jewels would be good : one with cannot be hindered, one with anti-corrupted blood. Very useful for Ultimatum.

Also, if I were you, I'd try to get more chaos res on the boots and the amulet, so as to remove the small cluster or replace it with Born of Chaos (+3% max chaos res).

Hope this helps, good luck and have fun :)

Hi rahsaan

Great build!
Do you think a cast on stun with glancing blow will work? Along with Fenumus' Spinnerets ES on hit and watcher eye.

Next on damage reduction
Nature's Patience
Gain 2 Grasping Vines each second while stationary
2% chance to deal Double Damage per Grasping Vine
1% less Damage taken per Grasping Vine

Doppelgänger Guise
(15-25)% less Physical and Chaos Damage Taken while Sane

Good question.
What I'm gonna do is mix both, by adding K1y0's best stuff in my PoB.
His rings are clearly better.
For the helmet : K1y0's one gives a shitton of life, while mine gives res and less physical dmg taken.

/!\ There is a problem with the implicit corruption of your shield K1yo : you take 6% of phys as cold, which makes you take more dmg ! You want phys as fire.

Which skill do you want to cast when stunned ?

For Fenumus boots, you have to reserve Discipline lvl 1 in this case. Doable if you get Despair on hit gloves or if you use Witchfire Brew flask.

I have already tested Nature's Patience with another build, and the hindrance is a real pain. Especially in Ultimatum, where you have to run like crazy !
To prevent it, you'd need either Kaom's Roots or The Stampede.

Doppelgänger Guise, yes absolutely. By staying sane all the time ("still sane, Exile ?") because we don't really need the buffs while insane.

Thinking of using Nature's patience since we are stun most of the time, combie with Immortal call, Doppelgänger Guise to reduce physical damage.

With divine flesh + tempered by war I can just skip getting cold and light res right?
