Mathil's Voltaxic Crit LA/Blast Rain - Cruise control the entire game. Uber Atziri Viable 2.2 ready

For those who've played both this build and Neversink's Tornado SHot build:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1041989/page/1

Which one would you say is the most effective?

Thanks

Currently level 84 as Scion
Here are my gears

Do you think with these gears, uber is possible? I will definitely be pushing up to lvl 90 minimum.
Also, what is the best glove/boots enchantment??

Can't decide which class to use for this build.
The OP says Scion would be best but I'd have to level a Scion.
Damier seems to be having success with the Deadeye Ranger but I'd have to either level a new ranger or respec a lot of points on my Ranger.

I still have a respec available with my Shadow, more crit looks nice.

Anyone is playing this build with a Shadow?

How big a difference would it make if I use Shadow instead of Ranger or Scion?


Damn game, I'm always spending more time figuring what build I wanna play than actually playing the game lol

What would you use for 6L LA ? if you picked Chain from Deadeye tree

Faster attack / Poison / Inc Crit Strike/Damage / Added Chaos damage ?

la - gmp - added light - wed - inc crit - void manipulation

i got 66k fully buffed dps with 19 gems no quality and only 5l. with 6l and 21/20 gems i can easily go above 100k i think.

so far highest map ive done is tier 12 and ive had no problem with damage, i can still one shot everything. so even if i had 6l i think i wouldn't move la to 6l and use blast rain as 6l instead.

nvm

@Damier Do you stream?

Also, how do you deal with Porcupine?

This has always been an issue with the skill gem setup and gears on the OP build. I have tested a lot of ways to make porcupines a non issue. I use the 3 things I list below to negate Porcupines.

#1) I use Daresso's armor. It takes some good other gears to get this armor to work and max resists yet I still like this armor over pure evasion armors if you can get resists capped without armor and I even like it better then a LC armor since you give up a lot of damage in general trying to get lightning resists capped.

#2) I use a CWDT and IC gem in setup.

With these 2 items and a jade flask you can limp through porcupines with some caution yet you still take damage sometimes and it can be touchy yet without the CWDT Porcupines hurt and will kill you even when popping jade flasks if you hit the wrong grouping.

#3) In order to make Porcupines a non issue in general the last item is to swap a ice shot gem for your lightning arrow for maps that have porcupines.

That should do it for you. That's how I got around the porcupine issue to make them a non issue after a ton of testing.

GL and have fun

Could someone suggest an update path for my gear please? LA is pretty much oneshot when it chains, sometimes a little iffy on small groups when the chain won' procc.. Survivability is lacking a bit (68f/74c/75l resistances currently), I'd suspect because of low evasion and suboptimal flasks.

Regarding further skill tree progression, I was thinking Hired Killer and some remaining life nodes to get more tankiness. Then grab ranger projectile nodes, frenzy charges (these first?) and the crit nodes near Scion. I'll spec out of Life and Mana Leech and into Vaal Pact once I finish the Berserker ascendancy. Any improvements? :)

Edit: Also, how exactly does the power charge upkeep with Herald of Ice work? Because I rarely have any power charges and I suspect they mostly come from Assassin ascendancy. Pretty much all enemies shatter simultaneously, doesn't that leave nobody to hit with the HoI aoe?

Edit: working on replacing tabula

Following a bit of a hybrid between all the builds, but I've prioritized defense as I'm not the best skill wise but want to hit 100.

A couple of changes:

1) Took point in cruel
2) Took endurance charge in merc for survibability. This helps with keeping snakebite up since the frenzy charges take longer to expire than if I had an additional frenzy charge.

I think I suffer a bit DPS wise compared to others but I think my survibability is very good between atziri's step and daresso with endurance charges.

Stats:

LVl 93
5.3k Life
10.6K Eva, 47% chance to evade
46% chance to dodge
90, 107, 98. -48 resists

With aura's and 3 frenzy charges I have 51k LA and 42k BR.

I think next I'll take the 2 frenzy charge duration nodes then grab the remaining life nodes as I go.

I could use more WED on my jewelry but as soon as I change something it breaks everything else :s

Both builds are great. Neversink is cheaper, but if you put massive amounts of money on this build (lightning damage on attack and all crit chance/multi mods on jewelry and elemental damage % everywhere) this build deals way more damage.

If you don't want to spend hours on poe.trade finding prefect gear, just go w/neversink.
