[3.1] Ele Crit Blade Flurry - Dedicated Uber Lab Farmer - 350% Movespeed! End Game Viable!

Did my first uber lab with 4.5k hp and 5.8k tooltip, went really smooth and managed to get 40% cyclone damage on my 198% devoto's, probably the best thing I've ever gotten from lab.

Very fun build once it gets going.

Can't tell what's better as the 6th socket, Faster Attacks or Elemental Focus. Ele Focus is 40k average damage higher, but with Faster Attacks you hit 6 stacks faster.

Judging by PoB, Elemental Focus is still higher.

Elemental focus prevents your ascendancy from generating extra flask charges from elemental ailments on enemies. For this reason I don't even consider it viable since we only have 1 ability to kill stuff with.

Faster attacks is the best 6th link for damage on paper. But I would probably do crit chance or crit dmg to make the build feel better and more bursty.

Thank you for this review! I'm glad you were able to adjust the character to make damage more reliable during some end game content because when I made this character I honestly tried really hard not to get more damage than I needed... lol

For Uber lab 200-250k dps is overkill :)

That didn't even cross my mind, thank you for telling me! Now I don't feel as bad about the 700 chromes it took me trying to get 3b-2g-1r. Even getting back to 3g-2b-1r was quite difficult.

I think I'm at 500-600 spent trying to get 4B on my helmet as well...

Perhaps getting elder ring that Curse Enemies with Level # Poacher's Mark on Hit or shaper ring Curse Enemies with Level # Assassin's Mark on Hit migt be cheaper as 3 off colour helmet is a bit hard to get UNLESS you use VORICI JEWELS crafting method to get off colors (there are youtube videos that explain how to, that is very easy honestly and saves chromes my tons)

Thanks for the advice, I'll see what I can find, I'm sure they are going to be quite expensive with the resist I need though, but I'm not too worried right now since I'm doing well without any curses.

Havent done much uber lab farming as I normally do in other leagues, but I had this char on the back burner for a while. Got bored and decided to just take my char out for a run real quick.

Level 79 with 4.3k hp and 2.7k h/o tooltip dps (most of my BF and support jewels are low level and no quality Lol) and it was a walk in the park

Well done buddy, it is sooooo easy to do bosses with this build, super decent and tanky. Just quick advise - craft your gloves with something as you are missing out something maybe even important ^^

Hi mate! Started playing this at level 84 and geared up now, love it!

Had a number of questions on this as I tried it out:
1) where does mama sustain come from? I am sure I copied your passive tree right but don’t see any mana leech nodes?
2) in your video guide, the gems you suggest are different to your written guide. For example, the video says enfeeblle in the helm but the written guide has wrath instead
3) For mapping I tried swapping in a belly with 6link reave because I don’t like the aoe of blade flurry but didn’t have much luck. Can you recommend to easily Map with the build? Maybe blade vortex? I am willing to swap in a few gear pieces if that’s what it takes, just want to leave the passive tree as is.
4) what’s the play style when running through the lab? In the video you simply seem to just pop quicksilver and run straight through traps without a care at all! Don’t you ever get caught in spikes for instance and then die?
5) how important is having the high quality flasks and extra duration? Those things seem pricey (for flasks)!

Thanks in advance for your help!

1. Double check to make sure you are using the node called "Mana Leech". It's at the bottom right of the tree. Super easy to miss :)

2. Both gem setups are useful. The difference is that in the video I was using gems that are better for mapping. The written guide has the proper gem setup if you want to uber lab efficiently.

3. I leveled with Inc. AoE in the Blade Flurry setup and I had 0 issues at all. My guess is that you're using Conc Effect still. Also make sure to equip Herald of Ice instead of Arctic Armour. It's a green gem for green gem. Super easy swap. My clear speed was insane and I destroyed map bosses.

4. I've done something like 2.5k - 3k labs this league and I don't think I've died more than once or twice to a trap. Just run through them and understand that your health flask is your primary source of survival in those types of situations. In general the movement speed you have will get you through the trap before you use all your flask. It may take practice to learn all the trap setups and how to run them. But you'll get there :)

5. The build revolves around flasks essentially. They're not mandatory but you need to understand that they make the build feel so much better. Just make sure you have at least 1 flask to remove curses and you'll be fine. Worry about the other good flasks when you have extra currency.

Hope that helps!
If you have anything else to as please don't hesitate.
