What do you think about converting some of the elemental damage to chaos damage ? I know it sounds kinda crazy , but using The Consuming Dark it is possible , like you said you struggled with some bosses , maybe this could shift the build to the more ''stable against all mods'' direction? what do you think ? let me know :) , btw great build .

I actually mentioned this very briefly when talking about my phoenix kill. I used dual consuming darks vs phoenix but it still took 4-5 vaal RF to kill. The issue with this is that the poison damage will not double dip from most of my damage sources, whereas with ignite it will. For example, %fire damage will double dip with ignite and not with poison.

You could probably make a build around it, but I haven't put much thought into this. Also I don't like needing to use dual consuming darks... you lose a lot of survivability.

I played around with low life for a day with a 6L shavs. It clears trash much faster (since the vortex is getting 30% more damage) but I think overall it's not worth it. Vaal RF damage won't be too much higher since you're losing out on a pretty big chunk of ES by going low life. You do gain an aura which could be useful... I Think if I got my hands on a good +1 curse amulet and skyforths, low life would be fun to try with tri-curse.

I don't like the loss in survivability enough to warrant it. Having 12k ES and being immune to chaos damage is too delicious.

I also tried incorporating regular RF with VRF during the low life. My issues with this is that the regular RF damage can hit the boss when I'm walking up to it making it no longer "full life" for my VRF. This loses out on the assassin ascendancy which gives 100% more crit and 40% more multi against enemies on full life. I didn't like that.

what bandits did you you?

Oh forgot about that, my bad! I did skill, atk speed, and +1 power charge. I did the attack speed for faster map clear... so if you prefer a skill point there go for it!

I haven't tried one shotting hydra or mino with multiple people. I have tried with 80% fire resistance or with monster life. 80% fire resistance took 2 vaal RFs to kill... with some monster life it's still a one shot. I actually NEVER party play so I don't even know how much hp gets added lol

I'm not sure... I bet you could especially if you get better ES on gloves, boots and helm. My gloves, boots, and helm all have pretty low ES rolls.
