HoI+ AM is mostly there for power charges and better vaal breach clear/shatter.
Technically something like oos-coh-
proj weakness + perfectly precast rallying cry on brinerot flag on weaponswap give a higher number but I'm not sure about the actual dps.

With pen vinktars it - might - work out (at this point of the league). I still think the number is a tiny bit too high for my taste but all the PoB stuff is highly subjective anyway (since there are no calibration standards or common practices whatsoever)

Ah yeah, if you use Vaal Breach then HoI setup is fine to keep, basically just need to know the fight beforehand and optimize for it, i don't like relying on the HoI for T16/Shaper so i just drop the setup and go for OoS-CoH-Proj.Weakness-Culling or PCoC, i just adapted to what worked best for me while trying to keep it as cheap as possible.

There's a lot of different options and playstyles that are viable and pretty good, i'm sure most people will disagree on the CoH setup, but proj weakness gives hella damage!

Nah, I'm fine with it, having used both dmg on full life as well as project weakness on a doomfletch char (on blasphemy however). So if I wanted to do a pure bosskiller I'd do something along those lines as well, it's well known and reliable, even though the exact dmg number on full is still a bit of a guessing game for me. Barrage is one of the better skills for dmg on full but there are things like shaper beam or small hits offsetting the condition. I used a small penalty as an adjustment making it 1.4xish instead of 1.51x. Still a lot better than SP but nowhere near WED-lvl.

Vaal Breach is just a good fix for mapping/utility wanders. It's annoying to get frenzies as PF and the Tempests+Eshs + vaal breach (+HH if wanted) have a decent synergy.

Thx a lot for your input/suggestions so far - I'll take a look on your POB link tomorrow (once not on mobile)

how important is to have Yriel's maim version??
Maim only reduces enemies move speed right?

Sorry for stupid question(really not trolling). Why we spend a lot of currency if shaper and guardians can be done deathless with 2-4ex budget with another builds?
p.s. in temp league most of players never achieve such budget, so they never achieve such damage and survivability

I've casually sunk 40ish exalts into this build on standard and still cant do Shaper cause i'm really bad mechanically (and also each attempt is like 1ex to get 1alch gloves, so motivation to properly practice the encounter just isnt there)

Its a lot of fun to play though because KB is probably one of the most enjoyable map clearing skills at the moment.

And it doesnt take much to make this a good map clearer. Piscators, Thunderfists, some ok jewellery (wed + crafted flat lightning), a rolled Quicksilver/ (+ Jade/Stibnite if going the QoTF route) and you can blast through maps. 2-3 ex worth of upgrades and you can blast through maps with Bisco's. Worry about bossing/singletarget later, if at all.

nice sum up...
of course with "low Budget" you can "blast" through maps.
But I guess at higher maps this "blast" won´t feel as smooth as before.
So I guess we can say... the higher the investment is the smoother the endgame ;)

and bosses ... higher maps... I guess can be painful to face them with budget builds.
Or I just dont have the skills to face them without an overpowered build ;)

low investment... high investment... at the end a build must be FUN FUN FUN to play :) seen from each persons view ;)

Thanks for the detailed guide.


Can I ask how much these are worth and would they be good for this build?

i guess they are decent well u dont need spell dmg at wand but the light dmges seems good

What do you think if skipping 3points at arcing blows and go for 3 points at charisma and run AA with lvl 3 or 4 enlighten gem? well propably you can pick arcing blow again if you level enough.
