Has anyone tested if speed running normal makes deep poison Java viable with the current patch buffs. I know the current meta is a poison Java fire bow hybrid just wondering if anyone has tested a full poison build. Then swapping to LF at 34.

Bump

I would assume its a bit slow vs bosses.
Also, why not have another attack meanwhile?
At least like jab meanwhile. Or CS.

That beeing said, i dont speedrun, I enjoy a walk true^^

I've done it and it works very well. Yes, bosses are a bit slow, but everything else is reasonably fast. Faster than a bowa.

That’s what I figured. I can see it being solid. Do you bother getting charged strike at 24. I could see that being extra damage while the poison does it’s thing.

Probably. Especially against undead, which have poison resists. So yes, that is most likely a good idea.
