[3.1] Volatile Berserker (Poet's Pen + Volatile Dead) | 8-9K Life | Incredible DPS | Easy Leveling
" Sounds like a solid choice, still Aim for Vaal Pact and MoM? |

hey eJonKou, amazing build. I'm level 80 currently and only died once which for me is amazing. Clean speed is good and killing bosses is sooo easy. Is it normal to have low defense in this build? (which we compensate with 8k+ life? I have 2k defense)
The vaal pack tree is out of date for me. Thanks Last edited by qIta#1739 on Dec 26, 2017, 11:33:18 PM

" The build is similair to the pre-3.0 ES builds, where we have very little in terms of layered defense but we compensate by having a large life pool and great leech. Armour and Evasion/Dodge are very meh unless you actually build around those mechanics, so there's little point on focusing on those defenses. I'll check out the VP tree. |

" Life with 2 Damage modifiers is what you should aim for. Volatile Dead has the tags: Spell, AoE & Fire. Which means that modifiers to spell damage, fire damage, elemental damage and area damage will impact Volatile Dead. You can generally pick these jewels up for pretty cheap. " I definitely wouldn't recommend Berserker for HC. I think if you're playing HC then you're probably better off choosing a defensive class like Champion(Permanent Fortify, close to VP and has good generic damage and Taunt buffs), Occultist/Trickster(If you're playing a Low Life or CI version of the build), Hierophant(You go Life MoM or Hybrid MoM with mana stacking + Sanctuary of Thought + Mindspiral), Gladiator(Aim to max block, damage will suffer but your defenses will be amazing). VD is really strong at the moment which makes it work on pretty much anything. |

I'm running strong with a modified version of the build. I took out all the crit and added in elemental and fire damage. The DPS is similar without items, and it's cheaper to gear up when you're not worried about stacking crit. Maybe my damage is suffering, but my survivability is top notch (near 7k HP without a Kaom's Heart, 100+ uncapped elemental resists, Devoto's with 40% Volatile Dead damage).
I've also theory-crafted an Inquisitor version of this build, for more crit synergy. You lose the built-in leech and about 40% max life, but the DPS is much better. |

Hey I was told about this build and link I was wondering how this is strictly speaking from a farming end game and bosses content perspective. Love to hear back thanks

reflect should be in the conz list
never rly thought bout till i tried a phys refl map i knew i cant run ele, but phys i figured should be okish, but nop not with my current gear at least anyways overall iam fairly happy 85 atm doing up to t10 just fine with the setup i threw together gear: trying a movespeed build with qotf atm, aiming to run alot of evasion % while running jewels instead of max life%, obviously this will result in mutch lower life, but should be still enough for the purpose of running the easier maps quickly ps ignore the gemsetup, still thinking bout uses for the open slots
Spoiler
let me know what u guys think and how i could imnprove Last edited by Rufnet#0344 on Dec 27, 2017, 7:40:52 AM

Anyone have an updated Vaal Pact tree version? I'd like to roll this later today when I wake up but the tree given is horribly out of date.

" Volatile Dead will proc EE, so it's not adviced. " The VP version was updated. |

Hey - I have been playing with an Inquisitor and happen to have the funds to purchase the life leach on anger jewel. Do you think that you could possibly post tree that makes sense for Inq. or am i better off just flat rerolling? Would like to compare what you come up with to what I have.. Thanks a ton!
