What to do vs vaal boss? He doesn't move so puncture is useless there. Switch to frenzy?
just because he doesn't move (and he does move, btw) doesn't mean puncture is useless. the initial hit does loads of damage.
Why not the piercing shots passive? 30% chance.

Edit: Nwm it was taken in the lvl 80 tree. Not the lvl 50 one i was looking at.

Looking for advice on how what to improve next on my gear. Also wondering when I should try Atziri. I will also link my passive tree, I think I might want some changes, perhaps get the node that makes my traps invulnerable for 5 sec before I try her. Also missing lots of leech. Got a Meginords in my stash.

Is vaal pact mandatory? Don't really like that keystone all that much. Is it really needed for normal mapping? Or is it for atziri?

I feel ya on that one.
You waste so much points to simply get vaal pact right.
It is to counter reflect.
I guess u sacrifice a few points to get it but you can spec out of it when you get atziri acuity.

when i get Atziri's Acuity... I don't know if you are serious now. There are a grand total of 2! for sale on rampage. And one of them has a price tag of 150 exalted orbs of which i have exacly 0.

I think it's safe to assume i will never get those gloves.
Agree it's a lot of points to get vaal pact though :)

I will postpone getting vaal pact until reflect becomes a problem. How does that sound? It's not in the 50 point tree anyway so i assume it's not needed until mapping the earliest.

Let me ask this instead: Is anyone playing without vaal pact. Is it feasible?

Another question: I startd as a shadow. It's not worth traveling all the way to ranger start right? I was thinking of stopping at aspect of the eagle.

I played without vaal pact to start. I was miserable and stuck in the high 80's. Switched to vaal pact, and pretty much leveled to 92 with only dying a handful of times. I would NOT ply this build again without vaal pact or those gloves.

Thanks! Sitting in town my tooltip dps is 19,073 DPS, and the trap is 11,096 DPS. With charges up it's 22.5k for ice shot and 13.3k for trap.

Gear for uber atziri kill
Spoiler
okay i finally managed to get drillneck and reach level 81, here's my gear:
Spoiler


and my tree
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYAAx4FtQYjDkgVIBa_Gf4bAR9BIXYj9iT9JT8mlSoLKk0qWyzpMHEwfDH6MpQ1kjY9OdQ6Qj8nSn1KyEt4TZJN41FHUuxVS1b6W69d8mHiYqxnoGqMbIxuqm_ycFJw1XaCdvd3138CfyuCXobOh0GHdonTjAuMNo19jb-VBZ2qoJ-i2aOKpuCnNKfUsNi0GrTFtNG1SLXyuXzAnMEzwuzEosgMyBTUI9aK2L3ZxtqN3BXdDd2o44TnVOyw8-r1b_lj_MX-j_7I

out of curiosity i tried atziri, died twice from dual vaal boss because i couldn't kill the other one fast enough, had no problems with tri-boss, and managed to get atziri to 50% hp until i ran out of portals because she keeps 1-shotting me with a quick undercharged flameblast, 3.2k hp here, any suggestions on what i should do? should i changed my gear? or alter my skill tree? or wait until im lvl 85? any/all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. cant lose carnage heart, otherwise my strength/int would be too low for my gems/gear
