Duelist - [DECEASED] Leech-based RF+Obliteration Slayer <ExtremelyCheap> All Content and HC viable. - Forum

We should also keep the new despair curse in mind. Reduced chaos res, flat chaos dmg on hit and increased dot damage seems pretty good on paper. We should wait for the patch notes.	Posted by Atze_Whigga on Dec 5, 2017, 10:07:06 AM Quote this Post

Hi, I've held off any sort of theorycrafting for 3.1 since I don't know what changes will come with it. Once patch notes are up I'll have a better idea of what the state of the build is, if it isn't just straight-out killed. I think it's safe to assume Slayer will get a rework with the current iteration of Vaal Pact since it would otherwise make it a very broken class. I'm not sure if Dark Pact will see some toning down or if Poison will be buffed perchance? There's lots to look forwards to. I'd also like to mention that the increase to pack density mentioned in one of the announcements heavily favors this build! The one thing I can spoil you guys with though, is the interaction between a new unique and two other ones: Inpulsa's Broken Heart Berek's Respite Vessel of Vinktar Disclaimer - I don't know how they'll work exactly, but it sounds fun to me in paper :^) How else can we do lightning damage if we cant afford vinktar?

What are your thoughts on a blood magic variant? Either scion or duelist... i've been messing around a bit with a scion tree for this build now that the patch notes are out, and going VP with it we can save a LOT of unnecessary regen nodes and pathing, allowing us to get a ton more HP, among other creature comforts...

We are losing arcane surge purity of fire and blasphemy that way, so i highly doubt that this will be endgame viable. Vaal Pact is dead, long live Vaal Pact!

well we can get away with purity in an essence wurm... it wouldn't be 100% uptime but maybe a cwdt setup for curse? I'll fool around on POB tomorrow and see what i can come up with	Posted by blackfire100 on Dec 6, 2017, 2:37:21 AM Quote this Post

Cleaspeed is mostly achieved via obliterations, so you might aswell try to become a wander, lmao. https://pastebin.com/j2LkyQjg for cwc magma orb obliteraion clearing Vaal Pact is dead, long live Vaal Pact!
