Build of the Week: Poetry in Motion

Just a few days ago I was inspired by

Again pen is no better than those others. Same cool down. 250 ms for mjo cospris and Pen. What makes it better is you can use VD which is a OP as fuck fire spell and others you cant.

Others max about 500K DPS due to this. PP does 2 million because it's launching up to 4 of those OP balls each attack.

It's no mystery why every PP build is using VD.

VD should have about 1/4 it's damage then you'd see more diversity in guides which use PP.

Limit number of instances or make it become a single target skill
Poet's pen is a extremely fun item. It's true there isnt much variation to be had with these builds, since they all need roughly the same thing - but if you dont like it, you dont have to play it.
Only like using Poet's Pen to level sometimes, but still a shame it made it to nerf of the week.
This game needs more good builds not less.

Before submitting builds to nerf of the week, make sure you are one of the guys who looks down on people who do all the content or play efficiently. Make sure you only ever make it to lvl 70-80. Make sure your build has bad dps with too many mechanics incorporated to really work, or like you would say... that your build is "interesting" and not like all the mindless drone's meta builds.
Stupidly OP item. Cast on attack + 3 to gem level (more multiplier) + non-existent requirements + any spell trigger + high attack speed.

And this is after nerfing Mjolner (cast on hit, only lightning spells, HUGE stat requirements, low attack speed).

Great job GGG on creating new imba metas every now and then. Hypocrisy at its finest.

the most boring and vanilla version of a PP. Nearly every PP build uses these spells. Not really build of the week but obvious use of PP of the week.
Body swap & Volatile dead (+unearth) PP build would be something id like to try, maybe in Flashback, but then again how to level without PP's at the start? Hmm...
That was a terrible review of the build
rename this "build of the week" to "strong build showcase everyone knows about alrdy" plz

i start to get a clickbait feeling with these announcements

boring af builds so far this season
