Heyho,

first of all I want to apologize for poor formatting, language and footage. English is not my first language and making videos is almost impossible with my hardware. Nevertheless I want to share this little experiment with you.

[Edit] this is not a guide or a video showcase topic but a little more than just a picture - a little experiment. I put it here because I did not know where else to put [Edit]

recently I found

on SP and threw some items together to make an Emerald Prison - Fun/Test Build.
I used some really rare items, so its not a starter build or something like that, as I said - just for fun.

How does Emerald Prison work ?
You need an enemy to cast the spell on it. It will be surrounded by poison filled glas-globules. If a mob walks trough it the globule vanishes and inflicts the poison damage. So it is not working against static single targets but quite well against big crowds.

Example (with eye cancer TA clip and fauzt clip )

My main goal was to deal enough damage with Emerald Prison (EP) to take out non poison immune mobs quite fast and at the same time get some -efr and fsd to make the main proc usefull. Since a high Skill level is really important when using O-skills I tried to push it as high as possible.
EP can roll on amulets and gloves. After looking over my amulets in stash and a bit of crafting, I ended up with this gear:

With patience and concentration I can do TA, DCows, Dunc, Teganze, Jungles and Triune (Hailstorm Amu for spires) but Fauzt is still to hard for me. I think a more skillful player might be able to make this build really great.

Maybe someone has some ideas to improve this build or suggestions for gear/skill changes I can try out.

Also you can try the Poison Sorc set it gives you %Avoid which allows you to change to an O skill based build using Lightning+Cold or Lightning+fire spec becase Warp Armor gives you even more defensive capability!
Adria's Circle
Adria's Circle
(Sorceress Poison Set)

Dyad
Monad
Tetrad
Triad

Set Bonus with 2 or more set items:
+2 to Sorceress Skill Levels
Poison Resist +50%

Set Bonus with 3 or more set items:
+2 to Sorceress Skill Levels
Physical Resist 10%

Set Bonus with complete set:
+5 to Sorceress Skill Levels
+25% Bonus to Poison Skill Duration
+50% to Poison Spell Damage
+50 to all Attributes
Elemental Resists +30%
20% Chance to Avoid Damage

but that is a big downgrade compared to the proc based build you have going on in there ^^

I wouldn't use witchblood because you're not using any skills to benefit from that spell damage boost. you'd only be gaining life afte rkill, but yo ucan get that easily from some sockets.

Looking forward to a video showcase if you can. Pretty rare item and fun oskill to show off.

Added crappy short clip of one TA room. It lags quite hard, although it was recorded with no sound and low res. I added it just for showing the main proc in action. Sorry for the eye cancer but my hardware is crap.
