[2.2] MF Vaal Power Siphon

Build is only intended to farm dried lake, though it can probably be modified to do maps as well. It's my take on recreating the vaal spark farmers of 2.1.

Unfortunately, my computer lags quite a bit while recording and casting vaal power siphon on large packs, so the video quality isn't great.

Overall thoughts on the build in comparison to Vaal Spark:
+ Can run just as much rarity/quantity as Vaal Spark
+ Required gear is quite cheap (weapon should be 10c tops, no sac harvest needed)
+ Easier to generate initial souls via KB and diamond flasks

- Boss kill is significantly slower than Vaal Spark (biggest drawback imo)
- Rares may not die to your vaal power siphon
- No whirling blades! (second biggest drawback, though we have a lot of ms)

Big ideas
Spoiler
Because wands can't use whirling blades, we need to invest heavily in movement speed. This means grabbing ms on the tree, running quicksilver of adrenaline with flask effect nodes, and using scion's raider ascendancy to gain onslaught at max frenzy.

Use vaal power siphon + added cold + chill of corruption to have 100% uptime and large screen clear.

Stack mf on every piece of gear other than your shield and wand. Your damage should not really at all on these builds.

Grab berserker ascendancy to gain enough life leech to survive reflect and some bonus damage.



Gear:

+ 1 chill of corruption

I thought Chain didn't work with Vaal Power Siphon anymore.
This is possible with another class besides Scion and Ranger? Maybe Shadow (Assassin), Marauder (Berserker) or Duelist (Champion)?
Hey,

I'm quite interested in this build. What did you take for your ascendancy points?

Cheers,

Edit: I noticed you use berserker. Is the other one sharpshooter?
Edit2: Nvm, berserker and raider, gotcha :P Love the build so far btw!
