[2.1] Voltaxic LA by ad1ce (Talisman Rank 3)

You say in the YouTube video that you're immune to reflect, how is this? Sorry if this is a stupid question, as I'm new to the game.

He is immune to map and champion's reflect mods, cause those dont reflect chaos damage.

And this is really the main reason to play Voltaxic builds: you can crit to your heart's content and not worry about reflect. You also don't have to worry about enemy elemental resists since you'll mostly deal chaos damage. On the other hand, Voltaxic is fairly weak despite the crits, Enfeeble is awful, Blood Magic isn't doable, and some enemies resist chaos damage.

I love this build currently lvl 84 in standard and just got most of the gear to a decent lvl still want to get a better chest but lack of funds is not helping.



I have this I am currently trying to link.



The hardest thing was getting the 5 items corrupted with out bricking it or loosing any of the modes.
lost a freakin nice belt and ring to the vaal gods. Will try and find a better chest as well but can't complain for 20c. I didn't use GMP instead went life leech and +1 arrow.

With the new Ascendancy sub class I am looking forward to getting the "DeadEye" class and its +1 chain and +1 Projectiles.

Over all a real nice build and loads of fun .... thx for the guide
Cheers

if you dont have the hungry abyss, what is the other option? life on hit gem? and in that case what would you sacrifice in 5L / 6L

Iron Reflexes would work with this build? I got around 4,5k-4,8k hp and 8k evasion atm and its sometimes hard to stay alive when something big hit me:)

ps.

And what about vaal pact? Aply leech instantly seems good i think?

IR - bad choice. I think u will die faster with it ;) 4k-6k armor is nothing. Pay attention to the armor mechanic http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Armour

if u want to absorb 30% damage from damage 3k - u need at least 15k armor ;D so I think if u have less then 10-15k armor its absolutely useless.


#2
Vaal pact = no life regen. So u will take 4% of max life damage per second from BloodRage. 10 seconds = -40% life. Do u rly want it?

why your passives has mana / reduce mana reserved node when you are using blood magic gem?

Always wanted to play with Voltaxic, and RNGesus granted me one during Warbands. Still i started following this thread only recently, and im trying to adjust it to SC. Also, I'm really thankful for your build, it's refreshing after cycloning the shit out of everything for hours.



I found Surgebinders in my stash, and decided to try them, they seem to give a lot of Edmg, and drawback is not that noticable. Still, this character is only 67, so not everything is as I want it to be, especialy the HP, only 4L LCoil and overall defences( I doubt I'll get Taste of Hate, I'm really not big on trading in poe).

He is reserving all of his mana on three auras (wrath, Herald of thunder and Herald of ice) by taking those reduced mana and mana reserve he can take all three. The Blood gem only works on the skills its connected to.

I only use life to cast my skills but my auras are all on mana. I use atziris promise and hungry abyss to leech back life plus what ever is on my gear etc. Plus taste of hate is freaking nice to have as well.
