[1.3] Purple Rain; a shockingly chaotic Voltaxic Rift build (w/ budget version!)
|
For those who want much higher damage, you can use this same Voltaxic theme of stacking lightning damage, but using Windripper instead.
I think the key to getting very high damage on the Windripper version is to: - Get many frenzy charges - Add as many Static Electricity jewels - And then use Surgebinders If you can get 10 frenzy charges with the Windripper version you will get 40% more damage, as well as up to 70% increased elemental damage from the Surgebinders. Add in lots of lightning damage from Static Elec jewels being added as payload to your attacks, and combined with getting all the bow crit nodes -> you could start doing some very serious damage. If you want even more damage you could take out Blood Magic and just rely on surgeon mana flasks with slow mana regen.. 2 of these flasks should be enough. You can maintain Frenzy charges using Frenzy + LMP/GMP + COH + Ele Weakness in a simple 4L. Then you can have a 6L AOE in bow and 6L single target in chest. OR you could just make the Frenzy a 6L with PCOC and maybe something like Blind. And then use TS as the other 6L. For life regen - you will have to rely on pots which is not a big deal. I see Surgebinders are going for <25 chaos. You should get much more DPS from these than other more expensive gloves like Thunderfist. This is a possible Windripper+Surgebinder tree (maxed out): Key gems to use would be WED and Slower Projectiles to get the extra MORE modifiers to all your elemental and projectile damage. |

Guys, i have questions, LOTS OF questions :'O
it would be rly awesome if you can help me somehow First of all, im at 60lvl with 71points in skilltree. And its turning point for me to choose whatever build i should to pick, i used a skilltree planner and made 2(4) variations of build with same core, I planning to put voltaxic with Doryani's lightning belt and use it with LA. I love Lightning arrow but for me its first time using it with voltaxic bow so i need an advice.
Variant_1a
Just regular crit based core for bow build but with ele+chaos dmg nods and vaal pact. Overall: 145%life, 76%ele+79%chaos, Crits. Questions: - Since our Voltaxic got quite low 6% Crit chance, does we need Rat's nest + Maligaros to make it viable for crit based build? Or crit chance for LA will be enough without it, just with crit nodes from skilltree? - Chaos dmg. From what i seen - no one takes these clusters for voltaxic builds, only lightning nods. Is it that bad in comparison with lightning? or its just for being able to lifeleach from lightning dmg since its quite hard to do that with chaos lol. - Doryani's belt lightning version. Will lifeleach work with Voltaxic since all our lightning dmg is converted to chaos. Need advice. - Vaal pact. Dont know if it worth it, guess it is with Doryani. Need advice.
Variant_1b
There is also option to spec all chaos dmg clusters to nearest lightning nods (79%chaos>76lightning+a bit more crit)
Variant_2a
Bump your Lightning dmg even more at cost of all crit mods, leads us to 76%ele+74%lightning+79%chaos. Now you dont need to worry about rat's nest + maligaros, or any other expensive crit stuff, but Thunderfist...SO: - Is this trade worth in terms of dps for losing crits? Cuz crits are fun! - same topics with belt, chaos dmg nods and vaal pact.
Variant_2b
And version with even more lightning nods from witch area (inspired by OP), even more %life for losing chaos dmg and probably vaal pact (its a bit more expensive now but not rly)
overall: 165%life, 76%ele dmg, 165%lightning dmg, no crits. So, which setup is better? What advice you can give? . . . . . im so sorry for my grammar, english is not my native language, and im not even playing PoE at EU anymore since its finally published in my region. Thanks in advance. |

You can easily leech from chaos, if you get Hungry Abyss jewel. Then, you'll need to equip 5 corrupted items (for example, you can corrupt all your jewelry + quiver), and all your life leech will be based upon CHAOS damage. Best used with Bloodrage and leech mods on gear! Or you get Vaal Pact without Blood Rage, if you have tons of Life leech mods/passives, and enjoy leeching from damage dealt IDK, why no one even mentioned it! That should be insane! Surgebinders are impressive gloves for this build, and on Warbands, they cost literally nothing (1 alchemy). I think they're far better than Thunderfist. Chaos damage clusters are JUST NOT WORTH IT. Elemental or lightning damage nodes are much stronger. Chaos nodes are useful only for PA archers, who cant scale their damage with other nodes. I personally think losing crit isnt worth it. You can get decent crit chance and multiplier without much investments (just 10-15 nodes), and double your DPS easily. How many "increased lightning damage" nodes do you need for same results? And that's not even counting shock from crits!

I tried to make a voltaxic build myself today. I had the same idea as you guys but with a different execution. Instead of +light dmg I tried to get +projectile and good Static Electricity spots.
In the end i came up with this I would put Static Electricity in the 3 spots around ranger start for a total of 280 dex. Thats like a 2nd wrath aura :) Other then that i get 3 frenzy charges, ~160% Life, ~250% evasion and ~200% inc. dmg (+3 open jewel slots for ~20-40% inc dmg each) Any thoughts?

Friend traded something for a Voltaxic yesterday and gave it to me. I'm going to start a Shadow in like 5min and try this build out.
One question tho: why not pick Spirit Void since it manages to sustain Tornado Shots so good? It's really not needed in this build? Thanks, and please keep it updated. :) Last edited by Bidumandias#5694 on Aug 7, 2015, 2:39:21 AM

" You could just swap weapons to use Whirling Blade or Leap Slam. That's definitely what I am going to do. |
|
" I tried it and I just can't handle the mana that it consumes. Made some changes (Tornado Shot instead of Lightning Arrow and Spirit Void nod) and it's running just fine now. Not many mana issues. |

" After reading this whole thread I believe that your build suits more my playing style. I really prefer Critical builds, specially with Voltaxic. This is what I came up with: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYARXyXl_v1tDjlGYw2E55VS6SRYeJ-MyaVXfIWv3DVDkgDHonTEZYfQXBSk5V_xgYjKgutM6KjJ6kwW7VI8-oZ1w_ErJdtbDt8lYfndDY9uModg-jWnaqbJgW1YqxsjDIBBfmNv7IZlwZRR9Qjz3rEoudUMHwwcbvjJP2NfcjcfyvdqP66_94j9sFJOdRLeH11TZL-HW_ydvc6QtN-oJ8x-gBe73oZjvaj7YMVIAgu3Q0tg5uNW68ZtCF2DY2-p4bOh3Z1y2VNwTPjn-pivTZKfc2YR36NfkMxv9XawVO7dO0FLQ== Or this one: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYARXyXl_v1tDjlGYw2E55VS6SRYeJ-MyaVXfIWv3DVDkgDHonTEZYfQXBSk5V_xgYjKgutM6KjJ6kwW7VI8-oZ1w_EwfOsl21sO3yCHpWH53Q2PbjKFLAdg-jWnapMLZsmBbVirGyMEQ8yAQX5jb9-r7IZlwZRR9QjjRm1hc96xKLnVDB8MHHgEu9Qu-Mk_Y19yNx_K92o2V_BtP66_94j9sFJOdRLeN2MLX19dU2S_h1v8nb3OkLTfqCfMfoAXu96GY72o-2DFSAILt0Nm41bryF2DY2Gzod2wTPjn0p9rJg6WFXGg9s= Last edited by Bidumandias#5694 on Aug 7, 2015, 2:33:48 AM
