Version, purpose and verified scope
Dance of Knives carries the Poison package from Poison Imbuement, Bursting Venoms, Contamination and Star Shards. Chaos versions of Scoundrel’s Leathers and Fists of Fate are part of this Ubers setup. Hit and Run rewards continuous movement.
Patch family 2.4; level 60. Source variant: Ubers. Author revision: 2025-11-19T12:36:47. This page includes the complete skill allocation, bar, equipment, sockets and board/glyph list. Record and top-rank claims in the source title are not adopted as our own measurements.
Skill, item and glyph names retain unambiguous English planner labels. Numbers in the point table are allocated ranks, not final ranks increased by gear.

Stats, tempering and upgrade order
Secure the correct Chaos Armor pieces and Fists of Fate as the Vulnerable source first. Then optimize Poison multipliers, bar ranks, speed and durability. If a required piece is missing, use the No Ubers or T1 variant rather than simply substituting a name in the same slot.
The table lists attributes from the selected source, with preferred Greater/Masterwork targets first. It does not reuse present-day tooltip percentages as historical values.

Limits and safe transitions
Glove Uniques in the boot slot are explained exclusively by Chaos Armor. They must not be presented as ordinary S11+ equipment.
Verify resource sustain, protection and core items together before increasing difficulty. An author’s test with particular gear, density or boss phases does not prove identical performance on every character.
