OK, so another question. Every map I (without realizing until its too late) encounter a fkn reflect mob and instarip. Do you have a solution for that? Other than that I think I have the items I need.

Spoiler

Items look fine.

Could use crit multi on wands and a better amulet.

As for reflect...it's a real struggle. Just swap to firestorm when you see one and pop a fire resist flask. That works fine.

If you REALLY wanted to never die to those when you're going fast, you'd likely have to drop a curse for purity of fire and drop a wand/dagger for a saffell's frame. Given how much damage we're doing, you'd probably have to pop a fire resist flask on top of that.

That's the beauty of 1.8 million dps lol!

hehehe, I hear ya. Just switched to daggers. I don't even have to cast incinerate to dps the shit out of trash. Just whirling blade through them. Ain't nobody got time for that.

The thought occured to me. My yoloing luck is pitiful tho :) hehe

***Very important notice!***
Very few people know that Vaal Molten Shell's chance to crit is either 0% or 100%. It is based on your crit chance at the time you cast it. If that cast was going to be a crit, your VMS will crit for its entire duration. If it wasn't, then it will not crit for the entire duration.

This means that your most important flask should be a Diamon Flask. Popping it before recasting VMS is crucial to ensure the highest possible chance to have crit for the duration of that cast!



I added the note in the thread.

Also added a note to the wiki since it wasn't covered.

Added flasks used in the thread. Not that it matters much other than the diamond flask. Everything else should be your choice.

After some more tinkering I've consolidated the offensive build and defensive one.

Dual curse seems to be the way to go. 3-4 second immortal calls and 5 power charges up at all times.

Updated the thread.

Why not use Infernal Mantle + Consuming Dark for 100% chaos damage and a Poison gem?

Infernal Mantle gives both crit and gem skill lvl.

Poison stacks infinitely, so on bosses you can go way over your current damage.
And if you repath to Fatal Toxins its a +125% increased poison damage.

Because we're always on extremely low mana and the AoE from carcass is just too good to pass up.

However I did think about introducing consuming dark to save ourselves from reflect. I'll have to test it out, but I have a feeling this might help a bunch.


Edit: Well I just confirmed it, consuming dark fixes reflect issues. lol

I'll edit the thread.
