Hey, just a question. Playing your build right now, but I'm wondering if a Cherrubim's Maleficence wouldn't be better than Carcass Jack. 5 Off-colors would be needed, so I'm sticking to my 6 Link Carcass Jack until I can afford that


You can buy a high-rolled non-linked Cherrubim for cheap and use the jeweller's orb trick with Vorici to get 5-off on cherrubim, it will probably end up cheaper than spamming chromes.



care to explain this jeweler's orb trick you're talking about?

have a look at this video, the guy is using the jeweller's orb to get a 5-off cherrubim
May I ask what's the pros & cons of this build compared to crit DP?

Also, I find out Apep's rage is better than doon/rippling, would you like to test it?
i got it running in PoB with 2 apeps rage /1 apeps rage and my actual spirit shield (+65 spell dmg) and it does a little bit more damage on paper.
The issue you have may have are missing resistens from your offhand.
Also the biggest thing is the missing movement skill. You cant use any of them. This can be pretty dangerous in higher Tiers, or in uber lab.

And im not sure if the higher mana costs are going to become a problem.

I've personally have a problem with a Sulphur flask. I tried it once on a map boss and killed myself. Are the 40% damage also applied to myself through dark pact? If yes, should i use another flask, like a diamond flask?

Crit doesn't won't work well with controlled destruction especially since this isn't the crit build anyway. You probably need better jewels or less cast speed?

What pantheons are you guys running with this build?
Last edited by Mystadon#4365 on Sep 26, 2017, 9:40:55 PM
Soul of Gruthkul most of the time, only change to Soul of Ryslatha for lab and trials

Soul of Lunaris for general mapping and all content. Change to Soul of Solaris for Mino/Chimera/Phoenix

my castspeed is 67%. i dont think this is too much, since i only have it on my amulett. its not that it kills me slowly, it takes like 20% of my life with each hit aslong as the flask is active. i have to test it again, maybe it works better when i got the "constitution" node pack in the passive tree

Oh, I always thought that you "pay" 9% of your life as a cost and damage is separate from the life lost per dark pact so it would be 18% with spell echo per burst. The main post also says too much life/cast speed and not enough damage would affect leech on single target.

BTW, what level are you right now?
I have 2 problems with your tree:

1. In the Berserker Starter Area you take "0.8% life reg" instead of the Life and Armor node
2. Why do you use the Quick Recovery Cluster? The Melding Cluster is 1 point more and gives you more life and no unused life regen.

kind regards,
Akuma

edit: How are you working with bosses and mobs that don't manage to do a savage hit?
I have a BIG problem with those. My life goes down and even an eternal life flask is not strong enough to help me...
