Gonzo's Death Mage (Poison Aillment)

My Transmog: https://i.redd.it/i3u5vvighoi41.jpg

My Build: https://tinyurl.com/r96k2th (Passives, Stats, and Skills) 2 extra points from the passive points project.

Gear Stats:
Defense: I focus on health and all resistances. Extra spell leech where you can find it.
Offense: Material/Ailment dmg% and ailment/material/status chance score.

Skills:
Aether Jump: Mobility and can apply stasis.
Annihilation: Applies poison ailment stacks faster than any other skill.
Anomaly: Pulls enemies into you and applies stasis. I use Rending of Matter node to cast 2 Anomalies. These can stack doing double damage and applying double stasis stacks. Great for difficult mobs.
Bulwark of Dawn: Healing and all resistances for difficult fights.
Livor Mortis: Mitigates damage from you through the Generational Grief node and has a shout to taunt enemies off of you.
Plagueburst: Causes enemies to explode and leaves poison clouds on death. This does MASSIVE damage! Poison clouds stack so kiting difficult mobs into these clouds will burn them down really fast.

Playstyle: Keep Plagueburst up at all times. Aether Jump into a pack of enemies. Anomaly twice to pull as many enemies into you as possible. Channel Annihilation until the pack of enemies explode. Use Bulwark of Dawn on difficult fights and recast when needed. Kiting a group of enemies into a boss fight will help a ton with the poison clouds they leave after death.

F.Y.I. Currently Toxic Emanations is bugged and randomly turns itself off. You have to rotate the outer passive ring once then back to tun it back on. It's annoying but worth it. I do this when I load into any new zone.

This build is very fun to play. It rips through content. Hope you enjoy!

Staff with 70+ poison ailment dmg and 5% spell life leech. Still haven't found a gg legendary staff with stats I need.

Thank you for posting this, great build. A few questions please;

1) Are you going 100% all in for Wisdom?
2) What kind of gems are you using?
3) What expedition level are you up to?
