Since I'm getting a lot of comments about damage, let me try and clear some things up. -1. No, this did not get nerfed and it probably won't since it's not doing game breaking damage and doesn't use mainstream meta gear.- 2. Levels affect damage. If you're using the same exact things as me but are doing less damage, it's probably because you're a lower level. 3. The test dummy clip was me showing the higher potential damage of this build if you went Cursed Guild. I used Scholar's Guild in the showcase since I wanted to use Spin more often. Being in Scholar's guild significantly decreases the damage per tick (37.5 instead of 66.7) but I get to use Spin way more often. If you just want high damage per tick, go Cursed. If you want a more spammable weapon art to apply poison more often, go Scholar. As someone already pointed out, you can go High Elf Cursed Guild for a 100% poison uptime or you can consume some Binded Corruptions to increase debuff durations. Edit: 4/29/24 Siphoning Rot healing got nerfed from 10% of damage to a flat 1.
@@Khrkxun Alrighty, I guess Rot Wood Mage is getting it’s healing nerfed. It’s still around the same as a vampiric enchant on other DOT builds so I guess it’s not too bad. If only he added more things for poison before nerfing Siphoning Rot
I'm also trying to make a poison DOT build, and I have some questions, help me with your knowledge 🙏🙏 1.-Do you think a ninja reaper set would do more damage than fungus mage set? 2.- Eldritch or piercing affects Ghastly Rot DOT? 3.- Would it be better to use enchants like cursed, earthen or legendary than warped for Poison DOT dmg?
1. I tried Reaper Ninja before and it only got more poison damage when I stacked Ghastly Rot, Poison, Slow, Sticky and Burning. Even then, it wasn't by too much. I think applying poison through a source that you have a lot of potency in, in my case through Fungus Mage, would probably be more do more raw poison damage than using Reaper Ninja. You would probably have more basic attack dps if you were taking advantage of Reaper Ninja though. 2. Eldritch does increase the damage of your poison when you have Ghastly Rot, but Piercing won't since Ghastly Rot makes your poison do true damage which completely ignores all defense interactions. Piercing will increase your poison damage if you don't have Ghastly Rot though. 3. I think I got more damage from using legendary when I was on my Cursed slot since it already has a lot of perk potency but not too much boost. Warped might have been better on my Scholar slot since it doesn't have too much perk potency, but I don't think the difference was too much for me to worry about in either case ( I think it was like a ~5 damage per tick difference on my Cursed slot). I went with legendary so I I would have some stats (the protection is nice when blocking) and I'm pretty sure it gave me more total Earth and Hex boost than just going with Earthen or Cursed since it was on Fungus Mage.
I did this blade as a high elf and cursed guild, the dmg is a good amount better with cursed guild (as well as the heals obviously) scholar is not needed if your high elf cuz with high elf, the wepon art cooldown is lower then the during of ghastly rot (with 3 stored corruptions)
W build! but I use tentacle WA I don't know but I like it continuous poison. edit: earthquake better 1 WA 600dmg 10 sec cd and the poison 15 sec till it ran out.
Would the tentacle WA work with this build? specifically to use its low cooldown to proc poison, and would you have to be in scholars for that to work?
If you’re in the Scholar guild, it shouldn’t matter if you reverse the blade and handle. If you wanted to use this is any other guild, you would need the weapon combo I showed in the video
do u think this could work with the new draconic guild? I've been looking for a build that utilises hex as I want to go purple dragon blooded (mainly thinking about this because of the infuse ability with the draco shrine)
This build did get the healing nerfed, but that was basically it. You're not doing magic damage in spin because you're using Spectral Blade instead, which does water and hex damage, or you're not in the Scholar's guild
I'm not too sure tbh. I usually run Basic Blade and Basic Handle with Lone Samurai armor until I have enough SP to max out at least one weapon part. Sometimes I wait until I have enough for both weapon parts, but that's because I'm so used to using Basic Blade and Handle. You could try going for the hex blades first then the handle. Since the Hex Great Blade is on the same path as the Cursed Dagger, you could use the Curse Dagger for sustain until you have something else.
Yeah, Arachnid is such a strong armor and so a ton of people use it. That’s why I was hesitant to make a fully dedicated poison build and made hybrid builds of it in my “Rotten Wood” showcase. Thankfully, this build is pretty strong by itself and can solo corrupt Frogg and Enraged Bee. Soloing 2x Bastion is probably possible with it, but you would need to switch to a speed set a lot and really know what you’re doing on the boss
Probably 3 if you haven't expunged them from the guild quest. Without any Stored Corruption or weapon art cooldown reduction, I had around a 1 second downtime with Cursed guild. If you're High Elf, you probably won't need any Stored Corruption
Usually yeah. I tried out 5x Warped on my Cursed Slot and it did like 5 less damage per tick, but had a slightly longer duration and gave more health per tick. It's mostly up to preference at that point, but it might have done more damage on my Scholar slot since I didn't have as much potency on it, but I didn't try it.
It didn't get nerfed. Levels also affect damage so maybe that's why. If you're comparing your damage to the test dummy clip, then go Cursed Guild instead of Scholar. Scholar does less damage per tick, but it's still enough to clear Corrupted Frogg like in the showcase
Warped gets rid of stats in exchange for perk potency, so I decided to use the wind ring for some extra speed and the fireball rune since I had an extra lying around. You can change them out for other rings and runes if you want to

Siphoning Rot healing got nerfed from 10% of damage to a flat 1.
someone suggested this as of 4/29/2024 and bawx saw ths

is this build still good?
@@danonsos48 The sustain was nerfed heavily but the damage is basically the same so it’s still usable
@@EggySnoodle is the sustain decent?
800 true damage poison is actually really good wth
👍I like how you dont think like regular voxlblade players, this build is really good
this guy actually enjoying voxlblade
the scholar buffs are insane with this
Bro is gonna cause the last of us
Thx to the schoolar buff you can now cast the wa TWICE, amazing buff
It would definitely help in the Bastion where the enemies aren't grouped up as much
the real plague build

A build that is poison AND doesnt need revved + emotion and it has good dps and self sustain?? On god free dps+ cheap
such low investment good build dawg
this build is one of the cheapest build but yet decent in dungeons, niceee. after this update its prob way better now
I would add in a price of profane for the bleed so you could have poison and bleed
You could also use a Sharp Ring for bleed since Spin guard breaks on the last hit
True
Another fun looking build! I'm curious, did you have any binded corruptions stored on your cursed slot?
Nope, I had no Stored Corruption on my Cursed slot
@@EggySnoodle Sweet. Appreciate all the replies ya give :) Thanks again for another fun build!
W build! but I use tentacle WA I don't know but I like it continuous poison.
edit: earthquake better 1 WA 600dmg 10 sec cd and the poison 15 sec till it ran out.
i don't know how this is possible, i thought of almost the exact same thing last night
Would the tentacle WA work with this build? specifically to use its low cooldown to proc poison, and would you have to be in scholars for that to work?
Tentacles would work, but only if you're in Scholar's guild
next patch u going to have 2 uses or ur wa so pretty nice
i have a question. i thought i had the handle but i actually have the blade. will it be fine if i use the blade instead of the handle?
If you’re in the Scholar guild, it shouldn’t matter if you reverse the blade and handle. If you wanted to use this is any other guild, you would need the weapon combo I showed in the video
@@EggySnoodle okay, thanks! i’ll be trying this build on my 2nd slot
do u think this could work with the new draconic guild? I've been looking for a build that utilises hex as I want to go purple dragon blooded (mainly thinking about this because of the infuse ability with the draco shrine)
You could, but most of the damage from this build comes from the poison so I don’t think Draconic guild would do much
how is your spin apply magic dmg? when i use mine its water and hex dmg scaling. (is this build already been nerf eh)
This build did get the healing nerfed, but that was basically it. You're not doing magic damage in spin because you're using Spectral Blade instead, which does water and hex damage, or you're not in the Scholar's guild
What handle and blade do you reccomend using before you get spectral and cursed great sword
I'm not too sure tbh. I usually run Basic Blade and Basic Handle with Lone Samurai armor until I have enough SP to max out at least one weapon part. Sometimes I wait until I have enough for both weapon parts, but that's because I'm so used to using Basic Blade and Handle.
You could try going for the hex blades first then the handle. Since the Hex Great Blade is on the same path as the Cursed Dagger, you could use the Curse Dagger for sustain until you have something else.
quick question, i did the same build but i dont have true dmg? what did u do to have true dmg? ty
Ghastly Rot from Spectral Handle turns your poison into true damage
i trying to combine with crazy hare but sadly it wont work or am just clueless idk also does warped instead of legend are better or nah
If you're using Crazy Hare, you could only proc the poison through Spectral Rot using this build.
For me, I had better results with Legendary
@@EggySnoodle idk my sneeze doesnt proc spectral i just test it i didnt uh max anything yet
What do you think with cursed guild and no warped instead you use dark one enchants (idk the name of it asc cursed)
Eldritch wouldn't do anything since this build doesn't debuff yourself. Eldritch only affects debuffs on yourself
Oh then nvm
why not use warped instead of legendary? legendary enchant deal more damage?
The damage was roughly the same, so I went with Legendary so I could have some stats
I am so confused I spent 10 minutes looking at handle tree and couldn't find out where it is. Any pointers?
Murky -> Spectral. Murky is dropped from Frogg Cavern
Ok thank you so much :)@@EggySnoodle
I love poison builds and all but the game is littered with arachnid users so it’s not really viable
Yeah, Arachnid is such a strong armor and so a ton of people use it. That’s why I was hesitant to make a fully dedicated poison build and made hybrid builds of it in my “Rotten Wood” showcase.
Thankfully, this build is pretty strong by itself and can solo corrupt Frogg and Enraged Bee. Soloing 2x Bastion is probably possible with it, but you would need to switch to a speed set a lot and really know what you’re doing on the boss
creative to use wind ring for mobility...
man i have the exact same build as you and im doing like barely any damage
That might be because I’m at the level cap and levels increase damage
why did u infuse two fungus mage instead of two rotwood mage? does more fungus mage make the poison do more tick dmg?
Yeah more Fungus Mage increases the damage per tick if you inflict the poison through it (which this build does a constantly)
how many corrupted binded do you think should i eat
Probably 3 if you haven't expunged them from the guild quest. Without any Stored Corruption or weapon art cooldown reduction, I had around a 1 second downtime with Cursed guild. If you're High Elf, you probably won't need any Stored Corruption
btw did u use any enchants on your infusments???
Upgrades and enchants don’t affect infusions
Bro is cooking so hard, imagine if there's a 6x omen bearer
rip to any bosses
Can i ask why not use mythical instead of legenday
I'd lose the perk, which also boosts my poison damage and gives me poison potency
removes the perk
@@EggySnoodle bro i idid the same build and still deal no dmg
@@DegenerateDevil If you’re not max level, then you’re going to be doing less damage
@@EggySnoodle what does having 3 stored corruptions do and how do i do it?
isn't 5 warped usually what you want for dot
Usually yeah. I tried out 5x Warped on my Cursed Slot and it did like 5 less damage per tick, but had a slightly longer duration and gave more health per tick. It's mostly up to preference at that point, but it might have done more damage on my Scholar slot since I didn't have as much potency on it, but I didn't try it.
How do i get spectral handle??😅
Upgrade Murky Handle. You can get Murky as a drop chance from Frogg Cavern
how did u get legendary on your fungus set?
You can transfer enchants at Magus
Could this work with divine crash?
Maybe if you used Sporeling, but it would probably be worse
is the warped ring and rune really necessary?
It increases the poison damage, but you could use Earthen or Cursed enchants instead as a cheaper but weaker option
@@EggySnoodle how much will it affect the damage? like 20%?
@@HARRAWISH I lose 5.3 damage per tick if I switch to a Cursed Hex Ring and Earthen Rubble Rune.
@@EggySnoodle alr ty
can i use snake venom pole for javelin?
That should also work, but your poison won’t deal true damage.
@@EggySnoodle Nah,i'd poison
i just need range lol
Why am i doing no damage? Did this got nerf?
It didn't get nerfed. Levels also affect damage so maybe that's why. If you're comparing your damage to the test dummy clip, then go Cursed Guild instead of Scholar. Scholar does less damage per tick, but it's still enough to clear Corrupted Frogg like in the showcase
does it have to be a wind ring??
No it doesn’t. I used Wind Ring since I wanted more speed and I was constantly using my weapon art
Why not infuse omen?
This build doesn’t have a good way to utilize Omen Bearer effectively
@@EggySnoodle ah thank you for telling me !
That build got nerf?
No and I don't really see a reason why it would
Why are you using wind ring and fireball rune and not someting that buffs earth/hex with the warped?
Warped gets rid of stats in exchange for perk potency, so I decided to use the wind ring for some extra speed and the fireball rune since I had an extra lying around. You can change them out for other rings and runes if you want to
okay thanks :D@@EggySnoodle
Why are you using fireball rune?
It was the only spare rune I had at the time. It didn't feel like the rune would have made a big impact so I decided to just run fireball
@@EggySnoodle is rage gonna work ?
@@Neiro111 Only if you use the Scourge Blade while in the Scholar guild. Then your rage can affect the poison dot
