Hey, I dont understand something. Why would a ruby flask bring all 3 resistances up to 83?

Vinktar is a topaz flask and Taste of Hate is a sapphire flask, so Ruby brings the fire up too.

Before I got the unique flasks, I ran Mana, Stibnite, Basalt, Granite or Jade, and Ruby (stupid Molten Shell on Goats is insane now).

I quickly got an Atziri's Promise to get some real leech, and then converted all of my currency to get to 2.5ex for a Rumi's. Definitely push that Rumi's asap, it makes the build go into god mode pretty quickly.


Here's my setup now, as an 86 Pathfinder on EHC:

So I played a LOT in the past 2 days. I'm at 9.1k ES, doing T8-10s and got enough currency to finally buy Vinktars once someone puts it up.

In the beginning I had some problems with the 2 BV setups, but it's just a matter of time. Once you've built up some muscle memory it's all fine.
(I charge up dps-BV and cast a WM-BV afterwards. Once I'm in the pack I spam dps-BV and re-cast WM-BV every like 5 seconds. There's no real downtime between packs most of the time. If the packs should be too strong I enter with as much charges up as possible and WB through it as many times as possible.)

When it comes to leech, yeah. Maybe I'm still too low on DPS but I can only facetank (T7+) with WM+Atziri+Basalt+Granite. Most of the time I don't have to, though. When you try to keep your charges and flasks up (especially with Master Herbalist. The poison is nice) you wreck most packs before they can even do anything.

You have to be careful with certain map mods. Even something simple like Enfeeble can fuck you over because you rely on leech.

Edit: It doesn't matter too much that the WM-BV AoE is smaller. I didn't have any issues so far.

When I would enter a pack without any charges I'd cast curse-BV first, but that shouldn't happen.

Maybe you don't have enough castspeed and that's why you're having problems with the two setups? I'd recommend running a CwDT+IC+IncDur+LightGolem (or CwDT+IC+LightGolem+TempestShield if you don't get the 3R1B) setup, so you automatically get the golem buff. Vaal Haste is nice as well.

Try to always have a Movespeed-Flask up as well. I'm not sure whether or not I'll switch it out later but I really benefit from being able to run through a map that fast. There's literally no downtime between packs, which I'd otherwise have.

Also, switch out Spell Echo for Faster Casting. After someone mentioned that Faster Casting would be better I tried it myself and came to the same conclusion.
Spell Echo can even be a problem because it takes more time to fully cast with it. Before switching to Faster Casting I had the problem that my curse-BV sometimes didn't cast because I was still casting the SpellEcho-BV.

I wouldn't use Nature's Boon honestly. I just don't like relying on RNG to not consume charges and the 1 charge every 3 seconds is a little bit underwhelming in my opinion. The only reason to pick Nature's Boon would be to get the -8%Eledmg. It's up to you.
I'd pick Herb over Bowyer simply because the poison is better for singletarget. Even in maps you'll encounter a few stronger packs you can't easily oneshot. I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong.
