Main skill is Whirlwind, they have skills in Warmonger tree just to get enough points to use the passives from there as they're useful.

Is there a reason why most poison barbs on the ladder do not max Snake Stance but put 8 points in Eagle Stance? Is it a certain setup for bossing or is there a new variant of this build?

As of now, this build is outdated, it demands very specific scroll, obtainable only at this season and only til the end of 2024 year.

Thanks for your reply! You can still do the halloween event though and get the Amatoxin scroll (at least I got it from there). Are you playing the build with eagle stance?

Amatoxin scroll buffs INNATE damage. Snake stance for this is useless. At the same time, there is no need to try and buff amatoxin from "Amatoxin set", bonuses are way too small. Its muxh better to add to "poison spell damage" and "innate damage". In fact, pure innate damage build is stronger with amatoxin scroll than whatever you have with "amatoxin set", But pure innate damage build needs a lot of minmaxing and UMOs and occult effigies - sigils of absolutions and breath of thaumaturgies. The build with "amatoxin set" is just much easier to make: can do lab 10 easily. Amatoxin set:
