[3.0] Dark Pact Zerker - Farm shaper/guardian deathless (VIDEO) - Great clear speed

Cool, thanks for the reply from earlier. Also was just wondering if this build could also do Uber Altziri as well.

Ok thx for the answer .

Also njeed some precisions . As u can see on my skill tree , i picked Atrophy node ( near CI ) and this provide me a nice boost atm . Respect those point to get 3 jewels slots is really worth ? Since jewels can rool 12% chaos dmg max + 7% maxi life .

Last question , i was on poe trade looking for gear , and i found some nice helmets ( but pretty expensive ) with 40% increased dark pact damage .

Is there any reason to go for 12% cast speed enchant instead of 40% dmg ?


I tested atrophy on PoB earlier, it's a lot weaker than the jewels slot, at least 10% less damage and 300 less life.

jewels can roll cast speed that is a lot stronger than % chaos damage (and chaos is the weaker mod, generic damage and spell damage also scale cold damage from HoI), and you can get as mutch as 3 damage rolls on top of a %life on a very good jewel.

12% dark pact cast speed is stronger than 40% inc dark pact damage, but they are both good mods since extreme cast speed can introduce mana issues. i used 12% cast speed because i have enought mana regen/leech and 12% dark pact helmet were 20-25c backs then.

#Vemdetta sure, the build can do uber atziri. i would say it's more the player than the build since it a lot more skill/knowledge related than any other fight in the game. i've done about six or seven uber atziri runs this league. The first two went pretty bad because i had a bad strategy/knowledge of the fights and stressed out with the last portals, but other runs were a lot better, 2-3 deaths usually that were pretty obvious mistakes of my own. got bad RNG and dropped the armor and vertex everytime... so quite a lot of currency loss.
Hi, thanks for making this post - i'm having a blast playing it atm, but I cant seem to hit ur lvl of damage on PoB, im not too sure if its the jewels or the lvl or gems etc... - ive tried to mimic ur gear as much as possible but ive only reached 600k on my darkpact dmg on PoB,

If possible could u pls review my PoB and help me out ><

hello !

i just took a look at your PoB link and you seems to be on the right path to get results very close to mine. you are just underlevelled at the moment, both the character (lvl 87 on PoB vs 95 for me) and gems (you have all lvl 19/20 and i have full 21/20 sets) but everything else look very good.

i played a bit with you PoB link to match my level on both character and gems and i get 1.85 millions DPS with 20 wither stacks (i have currently 2.15m), get the helmet enchant and you are almost at 2m so very very close to my stat with a few levels up.

try to exalt your jewels if you have some exalt stock (farm shaper a bit, you'll get a few dying sun or a starforge with a little luck), it was worth it for me (you can even make some profits if you get mods that match other builds).
Hmph, I have 88 lvl of this build. 900 str, 6,5k life, 19 lv. gems, res 3x75%, 6x Jewel 6/12 life/dmg, items rolls close to max and im still can't leech from single target (Only 38k-50k dmg on Dark pact in 5L Carcass Jack) if I'm not get hit (Flask sometimes works, sometimes no), I'm still dying for one shot from Minotaur (The Pheonix is max for me). What im doing wrong guys? What should I do to progress with this build?

- Carcass jack is the best chest piece for damage/clear speed, but you'll lose some life. interesting when you gear is getting close to perfect, especially with 7% life/16 strength jewels. Brightbeak is good with this armor to run lower tier map (T11-T12) at a faster pace, you can get a Brightbeak weapon set and swap to Doon for harder content. DON'T USE CARCASS JACK UNLESS YOU HAVE A 6L ONE !!!

FAQ

I don't leech enought life when i face a single enemy / when i don't take savages hits :

Early after the respec to dark pact, you can face leech issues in single target if you gear is barely ok, your gems are low level and you have not yet taken aspect of carnage acsendency points (i did not faced this issue at all but some have). Bosses that do not deal savages hits can also be a pain in the ass (like T10-15 Port boss). there are multiple solutions to solve this unpleasant situation :

- Don't use a 5L unique armor, go for a 6L rare one (or white that you'll craft), they are cheap, they do the job just fine and are WAY better than a 5L carcass or belly.
- use Doedre's Elixir (recommanded in the build anyway). Doedre's elixir proc 100% damage leeched as life on top of giving you 1 charge of every type.
- use Atziri's promise flask, you'll get 2% additional chaos damage leeched as life.
- warlord mark could replace enfeeble, you'll take more savage hits, and leech 2% additional damages as life
- Put your dark pact link gems on your secondary weapon set as soon as possible while you level with infernal blow/sunder. you'll get lvl 17-18 gem when you transition to DP. don't wait too mutch to try uber lab, it's easy with this skill and izaro savage hits you a lot (it helps you leech your life back.

This issue, if you ever experience it, will totally dispear with better gear / higer level gems.


I've answered this issue multiple times, you must use a rare 6L chest piece if you don't have a 6L unique recommanded armor (belly/carcass/cherubin's/covenant).

Hello !

i wanted to share with you my take on dark pact. so far it's been amazing, the clear speed is really good, AoE is huge and the DPS is insane. i've been able to clear all guardians deathless and got the shaper on my first try with level 19 gems


While I certainly didn't take Shaper on my first try, I did take him on my sixth set of keys with my build mostly based on this post. I've never been able to take him before, so I would just like to give you my thanks for this guide and all the detailed information that got me there! I did luck out with an early 6L Belly o/t Beast, but can confirm the build itself works beautifully, even with a 50c 6L rare chest.
My current problem is that when my Doedres out of charges, im just not leeching enough and i keep killing myself when fighting bosses t11+. Especially bosses without savage hits, spells only.

I wont get any flask charges if the boss isnt spawning any trash mobs.

I already have a 6-link, using doedres and atziris promise and my gems are lvl 19.


Any advices?
#adeepersilence thank you for the kind words ! try to practice shaper as mutch as you can, it will become as simple as normal atziri when you know the fight ;)

#WarmUpMike do you use conc effet for boss fights ? have you tried warlord mark ? do you proc arcane surge with the golem and wither totem for the boss fight ?

you should not struggle with leech with a 6 link and lvl 19 gems, and bosses should be dead before you run out of potions. can you tell me more about the exact situations where you struggle ? what bosses exactly ?
