[3.4] Zerphi Poet VD - Easiest Uber Elder build - Twinned kill - 20000+ life recovery per sec

How is this build doing in Uber Lab? I want to farm elder, shaper, and uberlab with a build, and this one looks so good in total :D!

I managed to drop Zerphi so I decided to finally do this build. I have enough money for a ToH and have a Kaom's Heart. However , I don't know what i should get for the next gear. +1 VD helmet or a Xoph ? My guess would be a +1 VD unique helmet since its cheaper than a rare/white one but not sure.

This is my first time using Zerphi's, how do I know if it's active or not?

I don't see any buff or visual indication. :(

I love this build! Until now, i keep running Uber Lab and killing shaper here and there. But i am not sure if i am uber elder ready. Where should i improve next? Is there anything that will be a good boost to my build? Going a bit more DMG. I dont want to facetank elder 100% off the time. Just dont die if i take a hit or react slow.

You will see the buff on top left like every other flask buff or aura. You probably need to activate the visuals in the options first cause you can now turn it off and I think it's turned off by default.

Nah Zerphi doesn't have a buff icon, you can see the line under the flask itself though.

Is it just me or is mapping on this build awkward? Do I just need to practice more?

Spoiler

Just from the quick look of your gear you should easily be able to clear Uber elder. If you plan to keep Kaom's Heart during the fight then make sure to dodge shaper slam as this is the only damage output that can kill you, rest is all tank-able with it.

Zerphi's does have a buff icon.
This is not a fast mapping build so it may seem awkward as the VD balls sometimes move slower than you. Best use of this build is to farm end-game bosses.

Thanks for the response! I'm pretty sure Zerphi doesn't have a buff icon, unless I'm totally crazy.

You can even see so in any of the videos linked:

5 seconds into the video he activates it, the only buff icons shown are Anger, Vitality and Blood Rage.

Unless I'm totally missing something obvious?

The mapping is awkward to me because I constantly feel like I'm on the verge of death watching my health drop so fast.

It feels a little bit better with Righteous Fire instead of Blood Rage to me.

I don't need videos when I have it myself and can clearly see it. To prove it to you I am attaching a screenshot of my game with the zerphi's flask up.



Righteous fire forces you to keep attacking as the degen is quite high, Blood rage is much more smoother as you can stop anytime to pick up loot or scratch your butt. Only problem is you need to activate it more frequently in longer boss fights which is very manageable.

Even if your health drops to almost nothing you regain it back instantly with zerphi's. The point is unless you are not dying you are doing fine.
The only time I die with my setup is if I miss a flask timing, otherwise I can tank almost everything the game throws at me.
