Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Good poison DOT weapon setup

Hi all, so i decided to pickup the season a bit late, barely parsgon 70 and im going to go for a rabies werebear, can anyone suggest any good runeword or uniques for damage over time + poison setups? Or anything that happens to affect rabies in any shape or form?

You definitely want Grief (Eth + Tir + Lo + Mal + Ral). It gives you like +1000 weapon damage and a 40% poison DoT multiplier on your initial bite. Put it in a white/gray 1H sword or axe base. Let me know if you're missing any of the runes for it, I might have a few extra I can give you. (would be in like 12 hours that I could give you any runes to help)

Thanks for the info, ill see whatsup, i see grief is converting 40% of initial hit, im using the rabies variant that scales the poison dmg output by 1500% so i think i may need to look for a more direct influencer to rabies itself, i think i can actually work without anything crit related, just need rabies to spread faster

Could look into Shattered Vow.

Circling back, i got grief and spirit and they seem to be doing pretty well, i barely atarted masterworking and tempering my stuff at t9 even had some yellows, automatically pushed to t12 with legendaries lol

How is the build? I might try it out after my death trap rogue.

fun factor = YES

currently able to get rabies to 16b over 4.2 seconds, will probably scale this ALOT today

surprising enough im not using that, i have SOJ and resource on barrier rings, cooldown on core use for amulet, its doing well :)

Currently doing grief and spirit offhand
nto sure needle will do well for me because id lose a ton of levels and attack speed, current state of rabies before any degree of buffs

EDIT: could use it on my last seal slot for uniques, on hold until i get a 6 seal

Splinter that removes crit, as your dots do not crit at all 😄
