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

How do u know u have 1.7m Shaper dps?
because when i look into pob an check everything it says 47663 total dps
and somehow i cant create an starkonjas in pob wit hthe VD enchant on it because i dont get VD as an option.

I'm using the non-crit variant, and wanted to scale damage using shaped cooldown reduction. Getting the attack speed gem on shaped gloves helped get my attack speed to the right breakpoint. Working well so far.

This jewel also:

This is my current gear, currently waiting for a +1 corpse Starkonja to come on the market, looking as to what to upgrade next.

I'm only level 76 at the moment, still need to level gems etc however damage seems mediocre at best, I thought even with my current gear damage would be much better.

Rings/amulet/boots could need some upgrading. +1 Enchanted helmet is also a great damage increase.

Average hit(Which is per ball) * amount of balls / second(16)

So 70-80K * 16. 1,7m DPS was calculated with 24 balls using legacy enchant.

I really like this build. I am going to run it myself. It seems fun. Quick question, though. How would you compare this to a Templar Inquisitor? With the Inevitable Judgement, Instruments of Virtue, Righteous Providence, would those offer more damage? How does this compare to that? Thanks!

As Templar you will hit even higher DPS. With my stuff you can see below I gain about 30% more DPS as Templar Inquisitor. However it's IMO not worth it. The big pros are more DPS and more stable APS, small pro is the removal of the 10% more dmg taken from ascendancy. On the con side you lose the Berserker leech, which is a huge factor, and have a bit harder time getting your attack speed. Personally I doubt it's worth it.


As an example of what you can do (yes, in Standard, but basically the main differences are Kaoms, Acuity and the ammy, rest is also temp league available stuff):



I am at 9.4K life atm, would be at 7.9K with a nonlegacy Kaoms which is totally fine. My jewels are not optimal so there is quite some room for improvements. PoB calcs me at 3.99 APS when hit and 123K Anti-Shaper DPS per ball (spell only). I run PCoC in the 4L Frenzy setup and like it a lot. I was considering to run LGoH in Unearth but dont feel like I need it at all.

What I can really recommend for top-end is a ring like my Diamond Ring with Assassin's Mark on hit, increases your crit chance a lot, and if you have Life Gain on Spell Hit thats great too!

I have a second one I am selling now: .

Overall great ideas, I really like the build.

I think that Berserker is better, Inquisitor can get crazy on an extreme budget but I don't think many people ever reach that point.

Unearth - Lesser Multiple Projectiles - Greater Multiple Projectiles(Only required if you have the enchant)

is that suppose to mean if u dont have the enchant?

lil confused as to if i need the lmp/gmp setup now or not,
to clarify i dont have the helm enchant for volatile, using lmp/gmp atm

and if i dont need it, what should i use instead?
my profile is public any advice is welcome

I've forgotten to update that since the changes to the +3 enchant. You only need GMP now no matter what setup you're using, so you're free to use whatever else you would like. PCoC seems to be a popular option in order to generate power charges.

Sorry for the confusion, I will update the guide shortly to reflect the change.
