Poison/Dual Pistols: The Poison Scrapper

[SableShrike]

So I made something stupid.

 

I've always liked Poison, but struggled to get it to FEEL right across various ATs.

 

Had the concept for a Poison/DP and came up with this.  It wound up far, far tougher than I was expecting.

 

It has full-time softcap Ranged and AoE, and 32.9% Melee Defense.  With your maxed Venomous Gas, this makes even +3s whiff in melee as you bust a cap on their ass.  Note that this is WITHOUT using Envenom/Weaken, this is just on all the time.

 

Why Dual Pistols?  Two huge synergies:  Suppressive Fire with Chemical Ammo combos with Poison Trap to lock Bosses, and Chemical Ammo stacks even more -Damage on top of Poison's already crazy high -Damage.  You can just neuter the boss or even AV and shoot it in the face.

 

Been mucking about with dropping Defense levels some to fit in procs, but honestly I like the sheer stupidity I can get up to with this level of survival.

 

On teams you can wade into Melee and dramatically increase kill times.

 

Toggles: I only run Combat Jumping, Maneuvers, Weave, Temp Invuln, and Venomous Gas.  This is built to let you solo non-stop without relying on Vigilance to shore up Endurance.

• Maneuvers and Weave are overslotted. If you're going for set bonuses, there are better choices than Red Fortune (i.e., Reactive Defenses, Shield Wall).
• You're missing the Reactive Defenses and Shield Wall +res uniques. 
• Elixir of Life can mule any of the resist set uniques (except Impervious Skin +regen).
• Unbreakable Constraint or Gladiator's Net are better options for Poison Trap than Lockdown. It procs quite well, so you can slot at least 2 %dmg procs and still maintain hold duration and set bonuses.
• Don't skip Piercing Rounds. It provides 20% -res.
• 1-slotting Tactics with Rectified Reticle is pointless. It only provides +100 ft of perception, while Tactics already provides +432 ft. You need to slot end red if you want to run Tactics.
• Power Build Up is a questionable choice. While you do benefit from the +dmg and +tohit, Poison doesn't really benefit from the +special. I would go with a different epic.
