[3.1] Volatile Berserker (Poet's Pen + Volatile Dead) | 8-9K Life | Incredible DPS | Easy Leveling

hello man,i just started the league 2 days ago, i had exams :(, and well the price of the pen are 40c each, so im leveling atm with EQ, following the tree but taking some physical nodes to do more damage, do you recommend any skill to level instead EQ?, or ill need to follow a EQ tree and then respec to your build?

Thanks in advanced, i just got in love with this build man, is awesome!

Any suggestions for easy dex and int early on? That seems to be an issue for me.

Search for cheap amulets on poe.trade!


Also, Enchant on Abyssus seems like a bad idea right?

Love the build, i dont have Kaom so using a Carcass Jack Varnished Coat and Ice spear insted of GMP in the pen works wonders , dont have the head enchant yet.
In my 5 link i have Additional Accuracy Support for the bonus to crit from gloves.
Eny tips for improvement ?

Your gear looks solid. I'd recommend getting Acuities and the helmet enchant, drop Carcass Jack for Kaoms' Heart if you want more life. Life on boots and Opal rings are also nice things to have.

Not sure how good running 2 active skills in Poet's Pen is since you're going to reduce your corpse output.

thx

when i started doing maps at lvl 67 the survivability whos realy bad whit 3.5k life , ice spear helped out realy good the first few levels.

So ive started playing this build today. And it definitely is one of the most fun leveling experiences i had. Poet's Pens are just amazing. Stuff just melts.

Unfortunately the ball AI is just utter shit. If a boss spawns lots of adds. The balls freak out and single target dps goes down the drain. I havent played much with SRS but i think it suffers from the same issues.

Just a little update for some poor people on HC like me. I am using a 40% increased dmg volatile dead mod on a Starkonja which I got for 15c. Instead of Unearth, LMP, GMP with the good enchant I am using Unearth, LMP, and Blind/Culling strike (not sure which is better). Still melting most things.

I can't afford a Kaom's yet so i am running with QOTF/Atziri Step/Grace combo and it is actually working pretty well. I picked up "Sentinal" and MOM for extra evasion/defense. So far so good. I might consider respecing into VP at some point but for now this is working out well.

Yeah im having the same issue. Im jumping up to 4.39 APS when getting hit.

I was thinking about pulling out faster attacks for now and throwing in Fortify to deal with this. Bonus for being even tankier.

EDIT: FYI, massive nerf coming to volatile dead helm. 40% damage might better. Given that we are only adding 1 volatile dead, your damage goes from 3x (x = dmg of 1 ball) to 4x. With 40%, you go to 3*(1.4x) = 4.2x.

After tomorrow's update, the enchantment will only be available from the Eternal Labyrinth and all existing versions of this enchantment will be changed so that Volatile Dead can only destroy up to 1 additional corpse, down from 2/3 additional corpses.

Hmm right now the enchantment may nerf or go legacy well wait till the patch out then we know
