" Ohhh poop. There goes some regrets :P |

Anyone using something other than innervate? I'm using increased critical strikes and it seems to clear much faster, especially with bosses...

" Im using added chaos dmg and the dmg is pretty nuts, might be because it synergizes with cherr but the clear speed is really good. |
|
" Oooo, very nice. Can't afford any 6L except Tabula at the moment though :P Wish I could 6L the bow!! |

" 17% chaos damage is practically unnoticeable. Essentially equal to 17% increased lightning damage on a ring. The life leech is pointless since you're reflect immune anyways but I mean has life and armor. IGN: Arlianth Check out my LA build: 1782214 Last edited by Nephalim#2731 on Oct 20, 2015, 4:52:35 AM

" Does the life leech not synergise well with Hungry Abyss? But anyways the point I was making was that I think added chaos dmg is a good choice with cherrubims but I could be wrong. It seems to be quicker clearing speeds but I suppose that can always be a confirmation bias. Last edited by Dr_Mikey_Esq#5801 on Oct 20, 2015, 5:57:22 AM

" Actually you are correct about leech, I assumed most people would not be using the 5 corrupted setup but I'm not sure how useful 100% increased leech rate is on paper or in actual game. My point is that 17% chaos damage is a very minor affix and a 6 linked rare chest would have more life, more evasion and potentially 100+ resistances if you were going for optimal but otherwise its a decent chestpiece if you don't have one. Basically: 2200 evasion 109 life 45 fire 45 cold 45 lightning vs: 800 armor 1000 evasion 20% chaos damage 90 life 100% leech IGN: Arlianth

" This chest essentially gives you +100% life leech (which dont work with Vaal Pact). Let's say you had 1.2% life leech from Blood Rage and 0.4% from Blood Drinker. With this chest, your life leech will essentially be not 1.6%, but 3.2%. Personally, i find it easiler to get some extra Life leech mods on gear, if i need it, rather than wasting chest slot for it. With one exception - there is a spectacular chest piece, named Daresso's Defiance. It provides a lot of useful stats, both offensive and defensive - and life leech is one of them. I highly recommend it for Volaxic too. IGN: MortalKombat

" Cherrubim increases your Life Leech Rate, not your Life Leech. That means you get the same amount of life, but twice as fast (or 30% faster in legacy version). That's why Cherrubim is a decent choice to pair with Hungry Abyss - like a poor man's Acuity. Lighning Coil and/or Acuity are still better (and way more expensive) options, though. I've also tested both Snakebite and legacy Thunderfist and results are bad. I might try Snakebite again now it's been announced that poison will be stackable, but having 6 or 7 frenzy charges means 60/70% reduced duration, which is REALLY annoying. |

" Yeah, I'm using Hungry Abyss. The 5 corrupted setup is/was a huge pain in the ass to get situated as I ended up bricking some really good rings, boots and amulets and losing an exalt or two in doing so, I'm playing the 1 month so currency is a little tight but I think I've made it work for now.
