[3.0] Non-crit non-Vaal Dark Pact Berserker 9.5k hp Shaper down
 Preamble
Spoiler
It seams that I'm addicted to creating new builds in PoE.
That combined with the fact that I had a month free from work resulted in 8 characters this league. It's my pleasure to share them with you. Also a disclaimer, I'm not saying that these builds are only done by me, only that I have created them by myself and are my take on the skill presented. As always I enjoy improving my builds, so if you have any suggestions or questions please write them down bellow. Introduction
Spoiler
This build is Berserker named _Death_Pact_ focusing on new dark pact skill gem.
It's non-crit also not using vaal pact, instead focusing on increased leech per second. I've killed most bosses with it, excluding vaal temple(almost done...). Also all guardians with no problem and shaper with some deaths. It's my most powerful and first build I have done this league. Skill tree

First go for Cloaked in Savagery and then and only then for Aspect of Carnage. Your survival depends on it. Pantheon
Spoiler
Soul of Arakaali with reduced damage over time, avoid lightning damage, reduced shock and all other upgrades is the best. For the minor i went with Soul of Garukhan for evade and inc movement speed especially in towns. Current Equipment

hello,
9.5K life is pretty impressive ! don't you think it would have been more interesting to get a little less life but higher damage and aura/curses ? can you survive the shaper slam or uber atziri blasts with 9.5k ? |
|

Actually what aura? :/
For curses i get, enfeeble, but it works quite well with cwdt and inc AoE/duration. also without use of auras we can use something like Clear min. It is almost 60% inc spell damage right from the start of the league, when there is a much smaller pool of jewels to choose from. Ah and at the same time if we get an aura, we loose a ring or have to balance our mana so we don't run out of it. edit: for shaper and uber atziri you want to avoid almost everything on all builds so I won't even try :) Last edited by SmoczyArchaniol#5013 on Sep 3, 2017, 9:55:00 AM

something like arctic armour, herald's aura (i personally liked the ice one for extra clear speed/shatter porcupines/dwellers), enfeeble in blasphemy etc...
auras were not the core of the question, i wondered if you thought it was worth it to get that mutch life at the cost of some additonal damages in tree and auras/curses reducing incoming damages. clear mind is a good reason ;) i'm genuinely interested to know if you can take a shaper slam or uber atziri medium blast, let me know if it happens ;) (don't do it willingly :) ) |

I'm more of a theory man :P
Taken down Shaper for the first time and I really don't think I will try that again in the near future. That being said, a more skilled player would kill him with ease :) Also remember that life is base damage for dark pact Last edited by SmoczyArchaniol#5013 on Sep 3, 2017, 12:43:11 PM

Hi, thank you for coming up with this build.
At what level do you suggest we start using dark pact and with what gear combo? Any leveling tips? I'm currently level 45 in a5 and it's still easy with a tabula and sunder. I die sometimes to bosses but all mobs are one shot or 2 so far with leveling gear and all health and strength nodes. Last edited by leeyd111#5823 on Oct 26, 2017, 2:06:58 AM
