You do not need a T1 regalia to run dual consuming dark. I facetanked Minotaur with dual consuming dark and infernal mantle at level 84. I had a 6l, but none of my gems were level 20. I don't even think any had quality.
This is definitely the best boss-killing build I've ever seen (although my old dual curse, chaos firestorm trapper was pretty close). For refernce, I have 10.1k ES running dual CD. I think my tooltip ranges from 3.5-5k depending on flask/buffs. Last edited by DrWafer#0858 on Jan 20, 2017, 8:33:55 AM

Hey guys, just wanted to follow-up and post my own findings from my gear change.
Similar to what DrWafer notes, I also went from one Consuming Dark+shield (13.5k ES) to 2 Consuming Darks (I also have exactly 10.1K ES now), and it was a huge upgrade. Melted the minotaur in less than 10 seconds. Using an infernal mantle, all the same gear as before, just a second consuming dark instead of my shield. Yes, I'm a bit more squishy and my health pool often dips below 20% if I take a big hit, but I'm using 2 atziri flasks and Ghost Reaver/vaal pact so as long as I don't die I leech back up instantly. Didn't die once on the Minotaur, was able to absorb the hits with 10k es and leech nicely thanks to all the extra chaos damage. IMO 2 daggers + leech/vaal pact is > 1 dagger+shield and any sort of life regen. The dps goes off the charts with 75% chaos conversion. Thanks all for your help, and I hope this is helpful. Best bosskiller build I've ever played personally, although I wish it was somehow faster for map clearing. Anyone have any tips as to how we can possibly speed that up a bit by any chance? :) |

" Hey, just stalked your profile and are you missing one curse? Since you got the passive + point from occultist? Also could the boss be done without that chaos leech amulet? |

" Ha, very funny. This is a typical case of "I screwed with the build too much, why isn't it as good as the original optimized version". I could write a whole essay on how to make your character endgame viable, ... but I already did that. Read the effing guide and use your brain. Just a few hints: You built a pseudo glass cannon with horrible gem setup. That's why you're getting rekt. - No WM, even though you can use anohter curse. Makes Clarity and leech amu redundant. - Shitty low level curses, no enhance, no curse effectiveness... No comment. - No chill ...

I did follow your guide. It was ok, but not as strong as similar variants I've seen. I wondered what I was doing wrong and I fixed it, with the help of kind people in this thread.
Then I made it even better by following the advice of others and using 2 daggers. I'm still very tanky. But now I melt all guardians in 10 seconds except hydra and shaper is no problem. Curses are lower level to proc more often and on smaller hits. Works well. I run 3 curse but only use 2 because I play with a friend who uses vulnerability. It works beautifully. Checkout minimzed's build for an improved version of yours, well a more aggressive version. And I tweak my profile all the time so if you're using that as a guide, I wouldn't comment based on that. Thanks. Last edited by Mopstah#1101 on Jan 22, 2017, 5:48:41 PM

Does a chaos damage amulet increase more dps than spell damage amulet?

I tried switching to VP from ZO and lost a lot of survivability, mainly because of the CwC delay, even with leech enchant on boots and atziri's promise. I didn't try leech gem, but I guess it wouldn't help since the delay is the main problem. I can't mindlessly whirl into packs or lab traps anymore, as I used to do with ZO, otherwise my es drops too quickly while leech doesn't proc.
Only benefits were higher damage (thanks to a few extra damage nodes) and ability to facetank some bosses. However, with VP misplays or lag frequently killed me, defeating the main purpose of the build, which is supposed to be tanky (ZO worked just fine tho). Therefore, I'm not sure whether the survivability trade-off is worth it. Has anyone been successful with this build as VP? Last edited by willrazen#3590 on Jan 26, 2017, 5:09:23 PM

I have played both the ZO and VP versions of the build. I think the ZO is better for farming and obviously would be better for lab (VP makes traps harder on any build). VP is superior for end game and it allows you to do reflect maps pretty easily.
I am gearing my VP toon for shaper in HC at the moment though I have switched to 2x consuming darks and a vaal regalia the base of my build is from this guide. Since no IM I run temp chains and enfeeble on blasphemy while keeping the WM CWDT. I also run another CWDT with Vuln on it as I have a +1 neck. On my ZO toon which followed this guide almost to the letter and was able to facetank minotaur and chimera just before I died at lvl 89. I tried shaper in standard without max level gems and the damage was bit weak in phase 3, quite a lot of vortexes making it a pretty rough final phase. That was why I chose to go 2x consuming darks and a vaal regalia this time. |

" Thanks for opinion! |

I wonder whats more important to grab first, Hex Master or Skittering Runes?
Probably SR, if its all about the increased effect. Is the increased duration and radius from HM needed at all? |
