Is marauder the best class for playing Volatile dead? How about duelist?
I think that Marauder, Shadow and Templar are the best classes for this build. Witch and Scion could be pretty good if you want to go a Low Life route with VD, though Poet's Pen probably wouldn't be the best choice.
Champion could work decently well, since you're right next to VP allowing you to drop Acuities, some really great Life nodes around the starting area. Champion gets permanent Fortify, which we don't have a way to proc as Wand build without weapon swapping and also gets some generic damage that will work with VD. Not the best choice if you want damage, but you could probably make it ridiculously tanky.
ohh ok. Thanks for the answer I think I will go for the marauder since there are a lot of things that is already asked in the marauder section.
Kaom's Heart and more Life nodes. At your level I would ideally be at 7500+ Life. Remember that now in 3.1 without instant leech, more life = more leech and Acuities doubles that amount.
I didn't get Acuities until level 90 and I did perfectly fine in T10-14 maps. Just play a bit safer, try to predict upcoming rippy scenarios and off-screen a lot.
I would recommend against Infernal Mantle. Not only does it give you 0 Life(ES is practically useless since we have no way of regaining it in combat) but it also makes you take 25% increased damage when on Low mana. That means that if you're using Anger + any other buff/aura/blasphemy, you will take 25% increased spell damage, this stacks additively with the Berserker node that makes us take 10% increased. So if an enemy would hit you for 1000 with a spell, you would take 1350 damage, effectively reducing your effective healthpool by 35%.
The damage gained from Infernal mantle isn't very good. It's 25-35%, lower than a Kaom's heart on the top end. Conversion is bad since it makes it so 15% of our damage isn't scaled further by our 40-100% penetration. Only thing good to say about the chest is it's critical strike chance, but gaining 5% crit while sacrificing up to 5% increased damage and 500 # life is definitely not worth it, then we also have the downside of Infernal Mantle I mentioned above.
Grand Spectrums are nice on a budget, I would ideally recommend upgrading to 2x Increase damage/crit multi + life jewels. Play around in PoB and see what jewels work best for you.
I checked out your profile, some more suggestions:
Get rid of your Hybrid and Mana flasks, you shouldn't need them. Grab a Basalt flask since that is going to help quite a bit with Physical damage. Get Oskarm gloves to replace your current rare gloves, this will help with damage and allow you to maintain power charges while clearing.
Other than that, your gear is looking solid. Just keep upgrading everything whenever you can, Opal rings are very nice for the build but Diamonds will do on a budget. +1 Enchant is a nice damage boost. Wise Oak and Atziri's Promise are nice damage flasks to have.
thx for reply
then i maybe will return to my old life rare chest , Kaoms is out of reachm since exalt doubled in price through one day
or maybe its worth to try Carcass?
as far as i understand, i dont have any penetration except one 3% node yet
i've already replaced mana flask for diamond, that were leftovers from mom sr build, from which i respecced into wander, gotta grab Oak's flask once i deal with resistances
whats deal with Oskarm? with PCoC in Unearth link i have power charges up almost all time
found nice marble ammy on trade with life/crit/multi, but im short of funds (wasted alot to respec)
about shaper/elder rings, im thinking about warlords mark one for safe purposes, but price/quality is meh
I tried this build in HC ( i only olay hc) as zerker and was at 5k life with mom and still died really fast
What class would be better for hc? was thinking juggernaut or champion for the fortify? will they still have enough dmg to do end game bosses?

If you're having that much problem with survivability, then Champion might be a good choice for you. Permanent Fortify, close to Vaal Pact(Which you would have to path to in HC anyway since Acuities are pretty difficult to come by) and offers decent generic damage.

Carcass Jack is a decent choice, not as good as Kaom's though, but better than a rare.
I totally forgot about the changes to the enchant. Oskarm aren't required anymore, but they're still pretty good since it applies Assassin's Mark which is a minor damage increase. I'd say a good pair of rare gloves with life/resists/attributes are the best choice until Acuities.
Warlord's Mark isn't needed since we get all the leech we need from our Ascendancy.
I have some issue with life leech without acuity or VP. Can’t recover life quick enough after boss’s hit, so I ‘m running temporal chain to help.
Also it’s a little slow in boss fights without moving skills. I’m so used to bodyswap, don’t really feel the damage loss on volatile .....
Im super torn between Berserker, Inquisitor, or Pathfinder right now. If I go with Berserker or Inq, ill be running kaom's heart, if I g with the pathfinder, im gonna run queen of the forest. Mind giving me a little info about the choices here, before I dive in and start leveling one. Im very worried about the lack of leech ill have on the pathfinder, but the queen of the forest + inspired learning seem very appealing.
I am also thorn on what class rto play for HC, i did poebuild and got 6k life with high evasion and dodge on a raider but duno if its enough to keep me alive vs t15+ bosses
