[2.5] (2.6) The Volcanic Eruptor! Cyclone AoF Raider | Up to 2 mil DPS | Endgame viable

So im not really sure why i should be using Vaal lightning trap in this build. I bought it and leveled it up and its really useless to boot.
How does Vaal Cyclone performs with this build ? Is it worth getting?

You use vaal lightning trap because it shocks bosses. Shock makes enemy take 50% increased damage from all sources. 50% increased damage taken is basically a 50% more multiplier on your damage.

I dunno im just not feeling it

so what flask you use versus the minotaur cause most time he is one shotting me should i avoid him? i see you use dying sun i do not that have is it good for boss fights?

Would be cool if there was a list of flask versus each boss on the op :)


Never mind went back and killed him zero deaths :) just need practise

some reason my post sent twice :)

I see you were using Hatred in the video of the fight against Hydra - is it better than Flammability?

When equally compared, Hatred will not provide more damage then Flammability as it provides more fire penetration. The extra cold damage will not provide that much damage anyway, on your sheet dps it might show more damage than the Blasphemy and Flammability combo (the extra cold damage from gained from physical damage will be reduced by a majority of most monsters and bosses in the game pre-penetration).

TL:DR Flammability > Hatred. Of course if you somehow manage to fit both of them then it would be a better option but, I do not think it will be possible. Feel free to correct me on this, as I've only gathered this conclusion through the recent meta-shift to scale physical damage using elemental auras/buffs (Hatred, Herald of Ash,etc.) but instead using Bleed and Poison instead. Hatred in my opinion be useful as a safety measure against certain enemies (Porcupines are the most obvious example) since you can shatter them (but this can only be done through crit-based builds, this build is RT so basically useless mechanic), but a more cost-effective method would be to use Taste of Hate instead which is included in this build.

G_G, managed to kill shaper with this build
was my first shaper kill ever, and 2nd set to try him, failed first in p3, its doable but not too easy cause of the melee range ^^



edit: i also use vaal cyclone actually, not vaal lightning trap, i barely notice difference with the trap up and using the slot for vaal cyclone makes breaches SO MUCH MORE fun, activate vacumecleaner + flasks -> watch everything die at any tier map ^^

I seem to always run out of mana when facing bosses, any suggestion?

i seem to have the same issue so i try to make larger cyclone movements, the leech just happens too slow even with GG dps, i don't see how OP manages to stay full all time
