Tried Vaal Pact back on page 37 of this topic if you care to look. At first I loved it because reflect was no longer an issue. But after a while you realize you can't do other maps that were no problem before (aka any with chaos DMG) because if you don't have a pack to kill for 30 seconds it gets worrisome. Also if you get low on life ever then you have to gamble and use cyclone and hope you don't kill yourself because of BM. Also, you waste 8+ points going down to VP.

In other words for most people it's a bad idea.

First of all, I'm playing Domination, as I think that this build is too dangerous for Hardcore, because of desynch.
I died few times because I got stuck inside the pack of monsters, not hitting them when I was supposed to.

I'm level 82 and the build is still in the making.

Apart from that, I don't use Blood Magic, I just run 1 aura, either Grace or Hatred.
I generally use Hatred, but I switch to grace, when playing with my friend who runs Haste + Hatred.

I use mana flask with recharge on crit, which means it's full almost all the time.
Apart from that, for heavy physical hitters I pop Granite + Jade simultaneously and for quicker boss handling I add Diamond flask to that.

I aim to have 100% crit, as the life leech will always be guaranteed.
Currently I have 86.7 on ~9.5% crit weapon, so with 10% dagger it should be over 90%.

My potential to reach 100% is based on the fact, that I can add 2 Diamond rings (which should give ~6% and I still have 3 crit nodes left available, which should give total of 45% increased crit, meaning that my crit chance would go up ~4.5%.
If that works out somewhere in the future, when I can afford this gear, I think that the build will be pretty good, the clearing speed is already amazing and I'm using 5-link with 2x EK, still at level 19, with no quality, so the DPS upside with 3 quality EKs is huge.

Only things, that will be able to kill me are desynch, 1-hit (I currently have 2800+ life, because I gave up few hp nodes to go for Vaal Pact, but several levels would make up for this) or I have to be killed before I start dealing damage.

Vaal Pact costs some skill points, but it enables +12% all res node, which is good and which I'm going to take, because I will be switching my two-stone rings with diamonds eventually, so it definetely helps.


Here's my current build.
Next points will be all res node and getting back life nodes, that I gave up for Vaal Pact.
And of course, when I get my Diamond Rings and Daggers I will take 3 crit nodes, that I have left.

I like where your head's at man I was right there with you about a month ago. There are a few flaws in your idea tho. you can't get above 95% crit even with charges. Also you are thinking perfect world right now with the "only way I die is if they hit me first" argument. I an interested in seeing VP without BM but I still think it's a waste of now more than 9 points to get there. I roll with a lvl 20/20% life leech and reflect isn't that bad anymore anyway.

I want to craft me the armor pieces but what Item base types should I use for that build version?
