Why worthless?:) It doubles LL rate, it is very good, but pre 3.1(3.0 for CI) it was much better (insta leech).


Cause my total life pool will be 1 with CI so if I understand what your saying my max life leach will be 0.4 life ? Is this really that great compared to no VP (or 0.2 life) ?

VP works with ES again (when you have Ghost Reaver). They un-nerfed it in 3.1. That's the main reason CI is great again.
New video: Uber Atziri (CI)

I went and did 2 Uber Atziri kills. On the first one I screwed up and accidentally killed the Cycloner, and then had to dodge the super-enraged Dual Striker and damage him for 5-10 sec at a time between the enrages, but still was able to finish it. This is the 2nd kill that went without any accidents.


It's easier than ever for this build. With shock and ignite immunity from Cyclopean Coil there is no need to switch flasks, gems or auras, the whole thing takes 5-6 min, add a couple more minutes if you want to clear all trash and pick up loot. Clear with SC, kill bosses with EF. Fire resist is always the highest with PoF, the Wise Oak fits in naturally. Don't stand in the Vaal's Icestorm or the Archer's spike rain and don't get hit by the Dual Striker while he's on fire. Dodge Atziri's Storm Calls and giant twin Flameblasts. Eat the regular flameblasts with Ruby flasks (of Warding, to get rid of the reflected Enfeeble) while standing still (so that AA protects you).

If you are CI, then your "life" pool is your ES, obviously. I could use term "effective life pool", but it will not be right either, because if so, then your mana will be part of it, cause MoM will be active. But mana part will not make your leech better, so i avoided that term.

It was quite obvious what i wanted to say, is there a need to nitpicking so much?

wasn't trying to nitpick mate, just thought you literally meant VP works off of only life, that's where I was confused I guess? thanks for clarifying.
I still got map crashes today, even if i just run through the map without killing anything and just kill the boss. It's so annoying ... and it only happen at chimera currently :-)

The crash is still not fixed, there was no patch recently. The crash happens if you leave the map after killing a LOT of mobs. So the easy way to avoid it is to skip most trash and go for the boss first. Then you can leave, store/sell the loot, come back and clear backwards to the start without crashing.
Yea thought the same, but i just runned to chimera without killing anything (maybe 1 or 2 groups surounded me). But after a rip to chimera map crashed. Thx for your fast reply.
One quick comment on your levelling guide -- I found Molten Strike + Ancestral Call noticeably stronger than Sunder plus a support gem.

So you think Molten Strike is better than Sunder for leveling all the way to 39?
