[3.2] Indigon Poet's Pen VD

bodyswap as first gem is totally wrong as it makes u stuttering coz u waste one sequence of unearth.

unearth ----> gmp/bs

i also dont know how much aps u got but if u want to max ur dps and decrease stutter effects u should think about 1 item with cooldown recovery speed. just as suggestion dont get me wrong.

Great build, just killed Uber Elder on first ever try, thanks!

Really ?

What’s the word on swapping chain for faster attacks until one can get elder gloves with socket gems are supported by level “x” faster attacks?

Slayer gives you free cull, that's 25% more damage. You can get that on a wand but it's expensive, probably more expensive than rerolling maps. Also, unearth is phys damage so you might still have to reroll phys reflect maps instead. Life leech from slayers is great.

I see you revamped your build considerably. Do you feel Hiero/totems compliment this build better than pathfinder now?

Im going to answer my own question here just in case anyone else is curious...

I just found gloves with “socket gems supported by level 18 faster attacks” that fit into my build (to cap my res’s) and holy shit it is so much better. If you’re curious chain support increases the mana cost of frenzy by something like 50% so subbing FA for chain will get you much closer to the APS you need but decreases the cost making your DPS much lower.

We use KB as it has very high base mana cost. Frenzy is constant at 10 mana base cost, while KB has 15-16. So ramp up time is way faster.

Also, as you pick some attack speed nodes and elder gloves, frenzy will bump your aspd to higher than 4.

With ias gloves, I am sitting at 3.86 aps unbuffed. With 3 stack frenzy and using frenzy, I hit 4.2 aps which is bad. I wanna bring down my ias and actually use frenzy, as it is a 12% MORE multiplier (3 frenzy charges @4% more dmg).

My questions. Even with 3 gc jewels I am sitting at around 5k mana and it is holding me back. I am going ele slayer. Would a cloak of defiance be a better fit for this build over kaoms heart?

Can use cwdt lvl 1 - arc - curse on hit - warlords mark/flammability/ele weakness.

We can pick up additional curse amulet and run dual curse.

You need a mana leech gem in your poets pen. I run VD/CONC/Mana leech, and with 6k mana dont have many mana issues.
With indigon you gain 8% of your life any time you mana flask, and any non instant mana flasks hit your life pool as well. You can get rid of your life flask.
I went with a zerphi's, and am reconsidering Slayer ascendancy.

Will the leech from mana leech stack with warlords mark and exceed the mana leech cap (20% max mana)?

With a 21/20 mana leech gem
Supported Skills have 2% of Damage Leeched as Mana
Supported Skills have 50% increased Mana Leeched per second

I died once on uber elder, running Unearth/GMP/Bodyswap on one Pen, and conc/mana leech/vd on the other. Gear is in my profile. Character Indigonsgogo
I still need several improvements. I have 86 res all, for wise oak, my watcher's eye isnt good, etc etc.
Dropped this from Uber Elder, which isnt much use.
