[2.2] Oro's Bridle build

first of all, i must say , the thing i love the most about poe is to theory craft builds :)

the main thing about this build is a simple yet elegant combination: oro's sacrafice and scot's bridle, with vall molten shell

not sure about the name of the build, "oro's bridle" or maybe "vaal flicker shell" what do you say?

vaal molten shell is probably the strongest spell there is.

Q : so why people dont use it more often?
A : because you need a special, not cheap uniqe in order to take make a good use of this mechanic properly. and this uniqe is

Q : there are alot of people with tihs uniqe, why vaal molten shell isnt popular even among them?
A : because vaal molten shell create explosion on yourself, so in order to hurt many monsters you need to go and be close to them. if only there were a skill that helps us get close to monsters fast enough...... o wait, yes there is, flicker strike!

in order to use flicker strike, there is a need to expand frenzy charge, to bypass this cooldown.
you can use blood dance and blood rage to achive something like this, but its not 100% uptime.
or, you can use .
this sword has perfect synergy with vaal molten shell because they both fire only skills.

but vaal molten shell is an vaal skill, that require souls to use.
to deal with that we will use two diffrent things:
1. - atm i have 3 of this, but 4 of this will guarntee that every monster you kill you gain 2 souls. (yes i tested it and the jewels are additive)
2. make vaal molten shell last as long as possible, so we will be able to gain other souls quickly
to achive that, we take all duration nodes from tree + 20/20 inc duration gem.
this is quite alot because vaal molten shell base duration is high anyway (10 sec), so we got to 25 sec uptime! that is alot of time, probably enough.
but i dtn like take chances, so i use another mechanic.
i use , as you can see its linked with vengance, that also triger every time i take a hit (from scold's for example) (even though there is a 1.2 sec cooldown, but it trigger quite often so that is good enough), curse on hit, and temp chains . temp chains make the time go slower for me, so if for example i could keep temp chains on me all the time, that will make vaal molten shell to last 1.4 times longer! so 25 sec X 1.4 = 35 sec (at max potential), that is a lot of time with vall molten shell, especially with flicker strike which is a fast skill.

after some testing, i found out that on this build, multistrike make you slower!!! thas because you trigger the vaal molten shell every 3 hits (when you use mana) and not every hit.
so to deal with that im using 2 oro's on switch:
1 - with multistrike in order to kill the first few mobs quickly before vaal molten shell kicks in
2- without multistrike but with fastrt attacks and chance to ignite in order to keep flickering fast while triggering vaal molten shell ALOT of times

+ relativly cheap
+ nice damage and clear speed
+ nice survavbility
- laggy
- sea sickness

- even 5L is good enough, only need to do enough damage to gain souls for vaal molten shell to activate

- also no need to 6L, 5L and even 4L is more than enough damage, and the fact that is vaaled only make it harder for me to gain the colors i want, just had this from diff build

- a must for this build! we need to take damage to make vaal molten shell explode

- jewellry with - to mana cost of skills, in order to take less damgae and be more sustainable on the mana part

- took this because im going acrobatics, and also have life, but any boots will be good (can have great synergy with Gang's Momentum boots! - need to test)

- use this for life and res, but also doryani's fire version can be good

- best jewel for this, increase vaal molten shell duraion (have 3 atm and need to get 4 to reach 100%)
- also very nice for this build, if you have enough sockets free after you fill the other 4

oro's sacrafice - 6L (also 5L is good enoguh) - Flicker strike + multistrike + melee splash + life leech/life on hit + WED + fire pen / fortify / blood magic (can be very good to take more auras).

switched oro's sacrafice (when molten shell is on) - 5L - flicker strike + faster attacks + melee splash + chance to ignite + fortify

chest - 6L (can be even 4L and will be good enough dmg wise) - vaal molten shell + inc duration + fire pen + life leech + spell echo (yes its work with this sepll!) + conc effect / empower (because i use vall chest and wasted too much i put mana leech, green sockets what else can i put (used blind for a while).

shekels gloves 4L - vengance + curse on hit + temp chains + inc duration / endurance charge on melee stun ( to proc endurance charges, good for survivability).

boots -4L - CWDT + flammability + ...?

helm - 4L - ?

(not sure what best for those, auras + portal + flame golem + ? would love suggestions).

another really really cool idea is to use on weapon swap another oro's sacrafic! and use diff sets for diff uses:
1 set to use before vall molten shell is on - for max dps and aoe
2 set to use with vaal molten shell on - put stuff for survivabilty (fortify), or curses or whatever, because the main dps coming from the vaal molten shell and not the sword.

this build have a really good defance, so i would say it is hc vailable!
i use acrobatics + atziri's boots + endurance charges + fortify + probabily will take soon Arctic armour + enough life +high attack speed so most mobs dont hit us anyway.
o.. and lets not forget that vaal molten shell + life leech is a great defance mechanic, all melee attack on you actually heal you :)

you can easily go for high aromour and more endurance charges from diff trees, if need help with trees contact me :) ill gladly help

will probably use anger and arctic armour, atm use herald of thunder and pueirty of elem to cap resist :) (and to have enough mana left)

there are so many options for the tree here, more jewels / less jewels, shadow or templar or marauder or dulist, life and armour or life and evasion /dodge.
i had shadow with kind of high lvl so i went with him, really not a must

my tree atm (lvl 78):

this build isn't expansive, the only expansive thing in this build is scold's bridle (bought for 16 ex in standard)
6L isnt mandatory, so 5L oro's should be life exalt or something like this (my 6L price was 15 ex, so also not much - in standard prices ofcourse)

5L belly of the beast, very cheap, around 1 ex i think

shekels gloves - 1 chaos or even less

atziri's step - only few chaoses' also diff botts the same

so really, i think it is possible to make this build with 20 ex in standard, which is fairly cheap

in all of those videos please wait for vaal molten shell to start before you gudge the build
