Version, purpose and verified scope
Dance of Knives, Poison Imbuement and Spellbound Steel form the spinning Poison setup. Cowl of the Nameless and the aspect chain support hits and Poison multipliers. Shadow Clone completes this bar; S10 Chaos Armor is not required here.
Patch family 3.1; level 70. Source variant: Default. Author revision: 2026-08-03T15:10:35. 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 complete Spellbound Steel package before isolated damage rolls. Then improve DoT/Poison multipliers, Imbuement ranks and movement speed. Evade and resource support must also function against a single boss, not only dense packs.
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.

|---|---|---|
| Helm | Ranks To Imbuements Skills · Dexterity · Maximum Life · Cooldown Reduction | Worldly Endurance Maximum Life |
| Chest | Dexterity · Maximum Life · Resistance To All Elements · Armor | Worldly Endurance Maximum Life |

| Ranged weapon | Emerald + Emerald |

Limits and safe transitions
Comfortable farming does not automatically imply maximum boss performance. Interrupted channeling and movement without hits reduce throughput.
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.
