[3.0] SonicSunder, FAST/BUDGET/BEGINNER, 7.5M DPS, FACETANK ALL BOSSES, 7 FRENZIES, VIDEOS

Well you can compare it to my berserker that I 98% based on this topic with items that are not even good nor perfect since it's just the Race league and I can say it works pretty well (I'm new in PoE, I can say I'm a noob but achieved 90 lv so fast and without problems) and if I would add there like Belly or other kind of body armour boosting my HP and defences would be perfect.

The axe I'm using when I set to "sell" on poe trade it says 342pDPS that is abit more than the unique one you using and I paid for it 15c so.

well to mitigate physical damage we need endurance charges or armor, and we don't have neither of them (shield or source of endurance charges, maybe an Enduring cry).

we can maybe work on block, dodge or evasion. For that maybe the Prismatic Eclipse Twilight Blade corrupted version with more block change could be usefull.

other than that i thought that you can use a shield with "%increased physical damage" and crafted on "add x physical attack" to add some defence point without losing all your dps from the second weapon.

Or we can just forget about Abyssus and search for another helmet..


Without touching the build we can maybe swap between herald of ash and arctic armour.

If you wanna go 1h weapon + shield I would rather go for 2h weapon like Hazmana's Bloodlust Vaal Axe, but then you have to drop the dualwielding nodes from tree.

Helmet well... yea you can change it for example for some Rare one or for example Geofri's Crest Great Crown. In my opinion Abyssus getting the lead when you get ~6k life, otherwise the increased % of dmg taken can kill you with the % from ascendancy.

Just don't know why you wanna swap herald and arctic armour if with the Charisma node (under the jewel slot left to vaal pact) you can run Hatred, Herald of Ash and Arctic Armour yet having ~100 mana for Sunder and Leap Slam so easy. Just the problem for me was the sockets so I took rare Unset ring for one with resists.

For the Endurance charges - Enduring cry is the answer. We can't connect it with somekind of "Cast on..." gem, but it's ok to click it while you jump in the mob pack getting fortify and stuff.

agree to all of that.

for the mana reservation, it's because I'm using Hatred, herald of ash and Blasphemy supp + poacher's mark!

another suggestion: molten shell and immortal call?
Xcise already said that IC it's a viable option. Even in the case we dont have endurance charges, IC still works but for a shorter period of time.
both, IC and MS, should work with CWDT, right?

I really don´t understand these damage numbers.
I have a very similar build, although I am using maces instead of axes. I did not follow any build guide but I compared the main setups and also the tree in PoB and they are very similar.
I understand you are using 7 frenzy charges, I only have 4. But my main hand weapon is much stronger than a soul taker, so this should make up for the differences.

In PoB I have slightly over 1 million dps with flasks and auras - if I use a vaal lightning trap, it goes up to 1.4 million dps.

But my ingame tooltip only shows a max of 250k dps with flasks popped and blood rage. Obviously, without any charges.

How on earth do you get almost twice as much? What kind of magic is that?

Also I am able to facetank all 4 guardians - but I cant facetank shaper, even with vaal pact. At the moment I am playing without VP as it feels better (life regen while mapping).

Here´s my current gear:


EDIT: I do sometimes swap hatred for blasphemy / warlord´s mark. But even then - no beam tanking or ball tanking. At 7k hp and all res overcapped.

Drop these Tempestuous Swords out :/ Just place non corrupted Prismatic Blade with 3x green socket and you will see the difference.
Even the Princess sabre is way better than the Tempestuous Swords. I just prefer the Prismatic blade because the atk speed then is insane and I like to be fast.



@ThoryX
Connect the poacher's mark with CWDT and you will have problem gone (keep in mind you have to left then the mark gem on some lvl, because in most builds CWDT gem is lvled max to 3-4 lvl and it support only gems up to "x" lvl)

My example are my gloves:
CWDT Lv1 - Immortal Call Lv1 - Warlord's mark Lv5 - Blood Rage Lv7 (I take off the blood rake while running lab traps)

You can also try the setup Curse on hit - Herald of Ash and Warlord's mark tho.

And last you can set your skill hotkeys like Q = Leap slam then W = Enduring Cry so you "chain" the skills with your own fingers.


@IamLoco
Why you don't have the +endurance charges in tree taken :o It's nice to have imo.

By the way.... that "locked" attack via the numpad trick is genious!!! I wish I had known that before. Wow. Sunder feels so much better in fights when positioning is important (shaper...)

EDIT: Endurance charges on the tree... I only recently got a red nightmare jewel and tried playing without EC a while. Might specc into these again, that´s a decent idea.
I was just wondering about the huge difference in ingame dps (tooltip). The tempestuous steel gives me way more dps in PoB ... tried the sabre and the prismatic eclipse. The +30% elemental damage is a lot better (for me...) than additional attack speed. But then, I also use a devotos and get AS there.

Can you explain the numpad thing? I don't get it :(

Looks great from first view. Currently still looking for my starter 3.1 build. Is this going to be impacted by any of the upcoming changes (e.g. Vaal Pact) or will it still work fine?

I've been theorizing with slayer, lycosidae crit and max block
