How To Level BV Poison Assassin?

hey,

i played bv poison in heist (my last league), really liked it and might play it in the upcoming league as well. so this isn't so much a question about the build itself, but how to level it. i tend to always level my builds asap, meaning in this case, BV once i get it in A1. which most of the time is rather slow.

so my question is: whats the fastest way to level this until i get unleash? caustic arrow? what links? puncture for single target? any guides or vods or anything that show the early leveling process?

thanks

Caustic Arrow and Toxic Rain are great, especially if you're going to chunking points towards pBV stuff early.

Caustic Arrow + Pierce + Void Manip will carry you through the early acts on trash gear, no problemo.

Toxic Rain + Mirage Archer + Void Manip will also do the job, with slightly better performance for bosses.

Get the fastest speed on a bow you can find--nothing else matters.

Once you start using pBV and Plague Bearer (I swap over with a four-link at lvl 35-40ish), the damage will blow your mind at how powerful it is, lol.

Blade Vortex + Unleash + Poison + Deadly Ailments

Plague Bearer + Increased AoE

Even on total dumpster-level gear, you'll mow through content like nobody's business.

Mule a ranger
Start with caustic arrow + puncture
Add toxic rain (Tr)
Tr + totems if ur lazy
Tr + traps if u wanna boss more efficiently for more clunk

Its the same tree as Poison BV. Keep an eye out for suitable daggers from Act 3 onwards. Then switch to poison BV while farming chamber of innocence to precap res for A6 onwards.

In BA farm some currency for a Binos, maybe a Cold iron point (depending on the price I'd defer the cold iron point till later), make sure to leave enough currency over to be able to buy some mapping currencies.

Enjoy

Edit: don't forget to abuse plague bearer early

Lvl1 - 28: CA for clear, TR mines for single target

Lvl28 - whenever damage falls off (probably when entering red maps): chaos slinger

I leveled with spellslinger bf bb. Worked reasonably well. Switched to Bv at level 90 :p

TR mines carries you easily to around lvl 40-50.

You dont get to use onslaught but mines autotargeting makes up for that and dps is 3-5 times higher than self attack because you go from 1.2-1.5 aps to 0.25 (mine throwing speed)
