Here’s what i’m using:

I’ve played around with a few venom share builds, they are pretty fun. I’m always super happy when I see a bunch of venoms on me at the start of a game It’s not played very often, but I still enjoy it every once in a while.

It seems to work good for team fights. If i drop in late to a 3v3 or whatever and pop all my venoms, it usually ends with 3 downed enemies.

1v1 is not as good as my other thief build. Having impact strike at the end of your burst is key

@Roc so is the build hard to master?

Not really. I use the double pistol to administer the venom and try and stay mid-range. Every time the venoms are off cooldown in a team fight, use them.
Always try and use the venoms with allies inside your radius line.
Use all your venoms right before the gate opens.

I’m sure other people are better at playing this than me, but that’s the strategy i go with.

I would add that if you still aim to be the main decapper, you may need to avoid many 1v1s (just know your limits), and don’t always share everything with whoever is close. For example, I +1 for one ally, win, and my venoms come up. I may just share one venom or none depending, leave him to cap point, then go share the other venoms in the teamfight at mid.

I see, that what I thought as well, Venom share works great in tf… but I will study your build; I am also delighted that more thieves are trying venom share.

I’m actually using mercenary amulet right now. I put sage on the build anticipating the nerf. I also switched to rune of thorns to push my poison up even farther
