because of how stupid the base damage of VMS is, you can make it work non crit, but with crit you get 100% crit chance which means absolutely insane damage.

@the other guy who thinks he's got higher clear speed with non crit. I doubt that lol


You didn't see Baked's previous build? Lol


I just jump into packs with whirling blade, the chaos + bino's makes the rest. I use flameblast for bosses (same cast speed as incinerate). That's it.
Reflect is not a problem anymore.

You can trust me, I tried your build.

Flameblast is actually a pretty sweet idea.

Just check my character ;)
https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/JobiEl_Pfiff/characters

Chaos vaal molten shell, better clear speed since i respect from crit. Oh, and deathless ;) Whirling blade is enough to clear packs.
I can clear Tier 12,13,14 maps without any probs in less than 5minutes . Blood Magic is the only map mod i skip. I can do all others combinated or not. Just care with global elem ref.





Seems good, but I'm in temp league so no legacy consuming dark and can't afford 6L shavs so I can't really use your build right now. Thanks for the input tho!
where the fuck did you get your life?



i got nearly the same life on my items but i would never reach 4k life like in your video^^


and one question why tireless and not devotion?

devotion 20% life 4 passives
tireless 20% life for 7 passives
for the mana reduce?

which skills would be affected?

and why no spelldmg for pwercharges?

Can use these for this build?
Don't have much currency to invest in Perandus.

That's a nice corruption on the tabula. It would work, you'll just get less AoE. You're gonna get a ton of extra damage from that corruption tho.

Might wanna check again for the life.

The mana reduce is pretty useful to not hit yourself for as much damage while gathering souls and also to have very little cost (so you can save on mana regen).

So what is actually better? Crit or no crit? Incinerate is equal to flablast with proccing VMS? cos they have the same base cast time (o.2 sec).Is arctic armour really that good for us? this build is kinda moving all the time isnt it?

Crit is better for boss kills.

Non crit is better for survivability.

Yes incinerate and flameblast both proc VMS at the same rate.

Arctic Armour is a good option because you're not actually running, you're mostly whirling and casting. If you don't want to use AA, just use a defensive curse and go back to dual cursing.

Could this build work with as an elementalist? Thinking of going full chaos with 2 daggers and using the elementalist passives to still get (and spread) all status effects. Seems really strong to me.

you would loose pcoc and dualcurse to get conflux and some %inc. damage

to sustain powercharges you'd have to get assassins mark or link pcoc
if you go assassins mark you loose warlords mark, you have to link life leech and find a way to sustain mana

in the end, you have to go noncrit or loose a link on vms aswell as other stuff (endurance charges/defensive curse) or a ton of skillpoins to make this work. also, this build seems to be made to slap bosses and you will most likely not have conflux up for these.
ofc it would make clearing packs safer but most of these die to whirling through them. while building souls for vms it might be nice tho.
