🐍Poisonous Concoction Bog Shaman🐍
 A showcase of the Bog Shaman variation for my Poisonous Concoction Trickster: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3444062 Overall Performance (1 to 10):
Spoiler
Endurance: 8 (very good) Map clear efficiency: 8 (very good) Single Target damage: 9 (awesome) Budget: 5 (medium) Ascendancy: Bog Shaman (Witch)
Spoiler
1. Toad Pact. 2. Vile Imprecations. 3. Pandemic. +two small points Pantheon:
Spoiler
Major: Brine King Minor: Ryslatha Both of them fully upgraded. Bandits:
Spoiler
Kill them all. Gear and Sockets:

Jewels:
Spoiler
Unique Jewels:
Spoiler
Watcher's Eye - Best ones would be Faster damage with ailments, DoT Multiplier, additional Evade, etc.; Forbidden pair - Withering Presence (Occultist); Brutal Restraint - 6428 of any conqueror is the best choice; Light of Meaning (with chaos damage). Cluster Jewels:
Spoiler
No cluster jewels required. Other Jewels:
Spoiler
No rare jewels. Flasks:
Spoiler
Note that the skill will drain your Life flask charges. It also has bonus added chaos damage based on the life flask recovery so either get flasks with more charges or with more life recovery. Detailed build description:
Spoiler
We scale up poison damage and a variety of defenses to build up a pleasant playstyle. Damage scaling:
Spoiler
The damage is mostly built up by Frenzy and Affliction charges, and efficient poison stacking. Defenses:
Spoiler
The defenses are as they follow: 75%+ chance to block attacks; 100% chance to suppress spell damage; 90%+ chance to evade; Temporal Chains curse aura Immune to Freeze Immune to Chill Capped resistances 10% instant leech Uniques:
Spoiler
We're using 5 unique gear pieces: -Snakebite: A key item that provides additional accuracy, DoT multiplier, Chance to poison and attack speed. All these bonuses are always active since we're considered at maximum Frenzy charges all the time; -Stranglegasp: In my own experience, this amulet is the best for any poison build because a lot of precious poison notables are scattered across the passive tree; -Profane Proxy: The automatic temporal chains curse aura is another layer of laziness...; -Olesya's Delight and Ralakesh's Impatience: The belt and the boots are an awesome combination that would allow you to benefit from both types of charges. While being always at maximum Frenzy charges, the frenzy charge generation will stack up Affliction charges and you will have them active all at once. All bonuses from both will apply. Rares:
Spoiler
As usual, rare pieces are only to add up generic mods. With the exclusion of the armour piece this time, which should be our Frenzy Charge generator but it will instead generate Affliction charges while the boots will take care of the Frenzy charges. You can either get a Redeemer-influenced with 10% chance to gain a Frenzy (Affliction) charge on hit or Searing Exarch implicit that generates a charge every # seconds. I'd recommend the Searing Exarch implicit because it's automatic and less complicated to craft. The Skill:
Spoiler
Poisonous concoction is an attack skill that requires the character to use no weapon in the main hand slot. It fires projectiles that hit the ground and can shotgun targets by hitting them with more than 1 projectile per attack. Increasing the AoE will ensure the projectile explosions overlap better. By default, the skill provides 20% chance to apply Withered on hit. Links explanation:
Spoiler
Helmet, Boots and Gloves: We use one of them for the Guard skill and Precision + Arrogance. The second 4L is for the main auras and Skitterbots. The third 4L is for Plaguebearer and Despair. Body Armour: We 6L the concoction here. Vicious Projectiles, Unbound Ailments, Void Manipulation, Lesser Multiple Projectiles and Deadly ailments are the best supports we can get. Shield: Flesh and stone + the movement skill go here. Ring: Temporal Chains curse here. Your choice if you want to keep the Skitterbots' shocking aura or chilling aura. I prefer the chilling aura. Keystones:
Spoiler
We don't really use any. Masteries:
Spoiler
Monsters cannot Block your Attacks Deal 10% more Chaos Damage to enemies which have Energy Shield 3% increased Damage per Endurance, Frenzy or Power Charge 15% increased Duration of Ailments on Enemies 15% increased Skill Effect Duration 10% of Leech is Instant 12% increased Mana Reservation Efficiency of Skills Poisons you inflict deal Damage 20% faster +1% Chance to Block Attack Damage per 5% Chance to Block on Equipped Shield Tattoos:
Spoiler
There aren't any mandatory tattoos. I used some Chance to blind and resistance tattoos but that's it. Gameplay: Leveling:
Spoiler
Leveling with the skill itself is very easy. Mapping:
Spoiler
You can literally play it with the mouse only. Just spam the concoction and run around. Additionally, Plague Bearer helps a lot with the clear speed and bursting bosses. Budget:
Spoiler
Shield: Rare shield with life, resistances and high roll Spell suppress can go between 3 and 10d; Body Armour: Around 10d including crafts. Belt: Around 2d with the proper corrupted implicit; Helmet: Around 2~3d; Boots: Around 3~4d for ones with +1 to socketed gems implicit; Gloves: 1d for ones with +1 Frenzy charge corruption; Amulet: Around 6d + 2d for anointments. This goes expensive as the time passes in the league. Rings: The Profane proxy is around 1d with decent rolls. The rare ring can be around 2~4d. Jewels: -The Brutal Restraint should be around 1d; -Forbidden Jewels: between 2d and 20d per piece. It really depends how you find it; -Watcher's eye can be different based on your choice of mods. I got mine for 4d. Skill and Support Gems: On average all gems should be around 2~3d. Buying all awakened gems can add up approximately 4-5 divines. OVERALL BUDGET: between 40 and 100 divine orbs. Pros and Cons:
Spoiler
Good: -Easy gameplay with high defenses; -Awesome clear speed and single target damage; -Very good for Expeditions and Heists; -Maps with Reflect don't matter; -Viable for hardcore. Bad: -Can encounter problems with modifiers that prevent you from gaining flask charges; -Poisons don't kill instantly. Videos, Screenshots and Links:

Ideas and Alternative options:
Spoiler
-Versatile Combatant and Iron Reflexes Keystones are each literally 1 point away if you want to use either of them; -I decided to go with Flesh and Stone for the less damage taken and dropped the Herald of Agony. This is a personal preference. The mana reservation is the same but I realized damage is enough and 10% won't be much of a difference; -If you're playing Heist, I recommend take Haste over Malevolence and use a Watcher's eye with Phasing while affected by Haste; -Keep in mind that there's a game limit for Damage Over Time that a target can take which is approximately 36m DPS, and damage scaling above that number is redundant; -The skill can be played with Greater Multiple Projectiles but it's recommended to switch to Lesser Multiple Projectiles when you reach the DoT threshold to avoid draining life flask charges unnecessarily; -Note that Plaguebearer cannot be affected directly by any damage support gem but rather by gems like Empower, Enhance, Increased AoE.
