Poison builds for Legendary ?

I don't know why you think they don't. I have tested multiple times with TQLog how I can hit enemies with my staff (Shen-Nongs in it), first adding one pet-boosting ring with a monkey-kings trickery in it, then a second one and the damage output of the subsequent attacks always increased.
It really looks like it works as it should. I haven't tested this with Sapros though.

Things on non-weapon gear apply all the time (to shield attacks as well iirc), but on-weapon mods are different.

My advice would be:

Go Dreamkiller if you want to have poison in late game...Just don't plan to rely 100% of your killing capacity on it, as explained in the posts above.

Dream will offer:

ToW: 32% reduced resistance for 4.0

Psionic Touch: 94% to Total Damage

Phantom Strike: 190% to Total Damage

Total Damage means it boost all type damage you have. Both Psycical, Piercing and Poison. Focus first on piercing and then look at poison as support damage. This way you'll still deal very high poison damage, and have the psysical and piercing as a killing guarantee. ToW will ensure that monsters are more receptive to Poison even in Legendary...

Exactly what I was thinking :

:P I think I'll try this character, jus have to find some of the gear first, like all the defiled stuff.

PS: Does anyone know if any green pref/green suffix combinations can't happen? (Defiled of the Glade/Defiled of the Pegasus) They would be very nice for this build.

[Soranor]

Rare prefix and suffix can happen, but it's very rare. I have yet to find a single defiled item with a rare suffix. Good luck on finding Defiled Stonebinders's Cuffs of Guile.

[BeaverusIV]

Yeah, that and Defiled Batrachos Greaves of the Pegasus :O Now that would give me a heart attack and orgasm at the same time, lol.

Edit: For reference (I don't think Pegasus is well known) of the Pegasus is %pierce dmg %poison dmg %run speed for boots, iirc.

[Vince the Conqueror]

say, if you have a brigand, and you get a decent amount om +% pierce damage?
Will it then be feasible?

[BeaverusIV]

Yes, but then it wouldn't be a poison build.

+% elemental resistance (about 18%)
+% elemental damage (about 18%)
+% movement speed (about 15%)

It's very very rare. I've never gotten a prefix with that suffix. I'd rather farm for Sapros, Pendant of Immortal Rage and Stonebinder's Cuffs of Alacrity than a pair of boots with that suffix.

[Ruse]

Wait...are you saying pegasus suffix itself is rare, or that it's rare coupled with something else?

I've had a couple of pegasus greens drop. 18% ele resistance, 15% movement, 15% ele damage, and 20% e-regen.
