2.2 [HC] CoC Vaal Molten Shell - 1ex 100k DPS Tanky as hell

Introduction:
Spoiler
The Knuppen Marauder utilizes a ton of mechanics to circumvent all the requirements that make CoC builds expensive and use it as a trigger for Vaal Molten Shell.
With a 5L for both setups you are at around 100k trash DPS without maxed gems.


Mechanics:
Spoiler
-Ignore crit chance: The new unique weapon (hits with the weapon always crit)
-Ignore accuracy nodes and rolls: +1000 accuracy from Undeniable
-Ignore crit multi: Elemental Overload
-Ignore reductions to your attack and movement speed: Unstopable
-Ignore Endurance Charge generation: Unflinching + Scold's

-Scold's Bridle to trigger Vaal Molten Shell with each step Cyclone cast
-Shackles of the Wretched. Curse yourself with Temp Chains > effects (VMS) on player last longer
-CoC at least one lightning and one cold skill for Elemental Equilibrium



Defences:

Spoiler
-6-8 Endurance Charges
-easily get 8k armour with VMS up
-20k+ with granite
=> possible to run Determination for 30k+ armor
-Fortify
-5.8-6.2k life on lvl 90
-if you don't need the armor you can run purity of fire


Math:
Spoiler
With some movement speed you get around 4 cyclones per second

CoC setup (4-Link):

Spoiler
The CoC setup deals around 3k per procc. 4 (Cyclones) * 0,86 (Hit Chance) * 0,67 (CoC Chance on lvl 18)= 2.3 CoC proccs per second. CoC deals 3k (damage per procc)=> 6,9k DPS
It penetrates 84% resistances (EE +Ele Weakness).
Against Monsters without Resistances you have around 13k CoC dps.


Vaal Molten Shell 5Link with Area of Effect:
Spoiler
8k damage per procc * 4 (Cyclones)= 32k DPS
With Flammability, Ele Weakness (both lvl 18) and EE you lower their resistances by 34% +42% +50% +36% penetration from the Fire Penetration gem. 165% resi reduction +penetration. Against Monsters with 0 Reistances you are now at around 32k * 2,65= 85k dps from VMS. (around 123k with conc effect)


Result:
Spoiler
While you have VMS up you have 98k trash dps and if you really wanna push it against bosses 136k dps with conc effect on VMS. Thats in a 5L with fortify.


Pros and Cons:
Spoiler
Pros:
+ Rather tanky because of life pool and armour
+ Good clearing speed because of EE and double curses
+ Really cheap
+ Leveling is a breeze
+ Destroy T11+ bosses in a couple of seconds
+ Perandus Monsters Shred themselves to bits on your VMS
+ Good mobility with Whirling Blades dual wield on second weapon slot

Cons:
- Chaos damage / degen can really hurt you
- Killing bosses without VMS is really slow
- You need quite a lot of souls
