Hi, i'm trying to do something like this:

What do you say??

Thanks for sharing your builds guys. It's good inspiration!

I'm having a lot of fun running ele ST for the first time since Ambush. I chose Beserker for the extra life leech and Assasin for the extra crit. Right now, I'm lvl 82, 35K ST, 83% crit (with crit support gem and 4 power charges), and both Izaro merciless and Atziri normal are fast and easy to clear.

After reading def7ant's post, I will probably respec into the duelist tree to benefit from the second static electricity jewel slot. Also, I'm curious to know if anyone is theorycrafting interesting ascendency combos and gear?

Gear:

I've went with Berserker and Deadeye. The 6th projectile row really speeds the already fast clear up speed.

Im lvl 84 atm, took off Vaal Pact as I got fed up with it. Added Master of the Arena, and Heart of the Oak for the regen, went blood rage on everything and filled up my mana with herald of ice, herald of thunder and wrath.

It's partially this build, partially what Mathil had in 2.0 and a bit of what I saw as viable. What mostly kills me is the LAG, especially if golden coin guys show up. In tabula, without leveled up gems, no quality, mid 250dps weapon and around 3.6k hp, t7-8 are a breeze, id try higher if I had any high map drop.

Attempted Atziri last night, didn't kill her, but it's actually the 1st time I see her. Wiped too many times on the Vaals, killed the 2nd 3 guys without dying and yah I need more runs to see what exactly Atzir does.

One thing is for sure, Im never going back to Vaal Pact

How are you getting 3 auras and why don't you like Vaal? Mind linking your passive a and gear? I'm interested in that build

Hi this is the build atm: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAABAADBAO4DHgOWBS0FtQYgBqIPqxBiES8RgRUgFr8X3BmKGbQfQSPTI_YkiyT9JpUqCypNLOktgy5TMHw1kjY9Oyg_J0MxR35KyEz_TZJOKlFHVUtW-lh1WlJfsGBDYeJirGNDY6dlTWwIbIxtbG49bqpvJ2-ecFJ0oHTtdct3B3fXe25_K4MJhFOExYTZhrOHB4cTidOMC4w2jX2Nfo2_j2CXBpchmmqbXZu1nKSdqqiatMW18rl8u-O9Nr6nwXzC7MM6xKLKSs2Y02_UI9aK2L3awdvn3UbnVOpi62PssO_98Yryl_66_94=?accountName=xecutable&characterName=Leekz

It takes 100% of your mana, therefore I have blood magic on my 6link and ive combined ice golem + blood rage + blood magic.

I dislike the whole vaal pact for several reasons. First and foremost is heaving hitting boss fights like Izaro. I swear I couldn't do anything vs him on Merciless, especially with flasks running out.

With regen and no mana requirements, it just allowed me to constantly move and cast. I didnt even have to stop for more than 1-2 seconds. Blood rage takes almost nothing, which again allows me to having higher attack speeds.

Another reason is moving around empty spaces and having to constantly use flasks, as whirling blades is also connected to blood magic in the guide. I guess it's personal preference, but I find myself prone to dying a lot more, when my hp is constantly low in empty areas.

Yes, vaal pact is quite nice in crowded spaces and reflect damage, but I have to rely heavily on flasks and MANA steal. Now I don't have to really on almost anything but avoiding hits and constantly moving.

I had over 11 unsuccessful runs on Merciless Izaro, when I did the switch. Perhaps my damage wasn't enough, but with the same amount of dmg, I completed it on my 1st try with this.

Yeah I'm really unsure what is the best out of the following:

2 Heralds + Wrath
Spectral Throw with Blood Magic
Drop Mana Leech nodes on tree for more damage node
Rat's Nest
--------
Highest crit, highest attack speed, probably lowest ele damage
--------

1 Herald + Wrath
Spectral Throw with a full 6L (no BM)
Mana Leech nodes on tree
Rat's Nest
--------
Middle tier on all levels
--------

2 Heralds + Wrath
Spectral Throw with a full 6L (no BM)
Mana Leech nodes and some aura reservation nodes
Alpha Howl
--------
Highest ele damage, lowest attack speed, lowest crit
--------

I just found out this: EnchantmentSpectralThrowDamage2 75 40% increased Spectral Throw Damage

Suddenly the end game Labyrinth farming became a totally different game :)

About the setups, I think there's no right or wrong. We all have different playstyle and concept of what's 'fun'. For me personally worrying about hp and mana constantly, was a struggle and no fun AT ALL.

By all means, I'd be willing to sacrifice dmg for QoL if it comes to that. Anyone has any idea what this enchant does: EnchantmentSpectralThrowProjectileDeceleration2 75 30% reduced Spectral Throw Projectile Deceleration

What about elementalist and inquisitor? Isnt it a good combo? On deadeye only additional projectile is tempting ;/

I might try that blood magic setup. I find managing mana annoying when you have so little and I also don't use Vaal haste and Vaal grace nearly often enough.

You could also slap on that Essence Worm ring with Wrath and end up with only 70% mana reserved. That gives you plenty of space to manage leech but you are trading almost an entire ring slot, which can have GG stats (WED, Crit, etc.) Might be a good budget option though.
