Why'd you swap from Vaal to Regular?


Because Multistrike doesn't support Vaal skills. And we can't know for sure how much extra DPS during bosses Vaal Skellies ends up being, but in a boss fight like Sirus or Uber Elder you actually don't get too use it that often,1 use tops. I rather have the extra 300k+ extra DPS on each skelly constantly than sometimes .

Oh, duh. Thanks for the response lol. The bit about DPS consistency makes a lot of sense, too. I swapped over to your setup and I'm really enjoying the boost in damage.

Hello guys,

This is the first time i'm playing path of exile and i'm probably going to ask a noob question but why is my dps for this build only around 90k dps?

Some misunderstanding there. The Vaal skeletons don't get the extra damage from Multistrike but your normal skellies will anyway.
For those keen on min-maxing, I've achieved Lv 30 Vaal Summon Skeles with a 15 skeleton cap.

Lv 21 Vaal Summon Skele Gem, +2 from ascendancy, +2 from each wand, +2 duration gems from corrupted chest, +1 int skill gems from amulet



+1 skele crafted on chest, helm and +1 skele explicit on Amulet

Technically can push it to Lv31 Summon Skeles with a +1 socketed active gems/ +1 int skill gems chest corrupted with +2 duration gems but I've had no luck with over 10 temple runs. Lv 31 SS allows you to summon 5 Skeles with each cast which is huge as you only need 3 casts to hit the skele cap instead of 4 casts in fights like uber atziri which blow up your skeles.
Never posted in this thread before because I use a different variant, with Baron, but keep reading as many interesting thing for skeletons are posted here. Thought I would give my 5cents regarding Impale.
If you want to even further skyrocket it the POG combo is DreadBanner21/23+AwakenedGenersity+Enhance4. See your DreadBanner qual go beyond GGG limits and Impale effectiveness and damage too.
Sorry if it has been posted before. Good day all.

What can you do with temple runs (sorry for ignorance)?

Also, I see quite a few people with +2 to duration gems on body armour. What is that best way to get such an implicit. Vaaling and hope to be lucky?

Allows me to double corrupt a piece of gear for better odds of getting the +2 duration gems corruption such as the chest I linked.

Ahh, thanks. Found this post (a bit old but maybe still relevant):
