The best mechanism to pair with PP is Indigon,https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2255866but since it's nerf I have been told multiple times it can't live up to the expectation anymore Now I've made enough currency with my Cold DoT Occultist https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2274340, why not just go normal increased damage coupled with Occultist's ultra survivability? A'ight people let's do this one last time (Spider-Verse)  DPS = 0.16 * 4.5 aps * 4 balls (enchant) = 2m (with Vaal RF) 1/5 of what it could be but acceptable Build Theory
Offense
Do we still need Poet's Pen mechanism explanation? Without Indigon restriction, any ES helmet with VD 1 additional corpse gives 33% more damage that you can't miss. With the enchantment you don't want to waste half of main hand triggers on Bodyswap but instead Innervate for shock and some added damage With Onslaught and the best dual wielding nodes on the tree, we only need a little more attack speed from quality of green gems to cap attack time to 0.24-0.23s depending on the Cooldown Recovery Speed on your belt. Faster Attack is not needed
Defense
The 4 ways of recovery are ES recharge/regen/on hit/on kill Recharge and regen each comes from an ascendancy. On hit and on kill each comes from Watcher's Eye (icing) and the new flask designed for Volatile Dead They are more than enough when mapping but in bossing you may sacrifice half of recharge for leech and add Warlord's Mark curse on hit in chest, and even better on an Elder ring Passives
Ascendancy
 Typical Occultist ascendancy Bandit Alira Pantheon Major God - Solaris for bossing / Lunaris for clearing and Uber Elder Minor God - Abberath for burning ground immunity or Gruthkul for phys reduction POB 1 https://pastebin.com/QSZ8iL75 2 https://pastebin.com/ZTVLeVGk (leech with Warlord's Elder ring) Final Gear

does the " nearby enemies have xx% fire res " really needed? how is it compared to the one without that mod? im kinda tempted to try this build since i just got the enchant on 400+ es helm. thanks

" Enchant is everything. You can enter -9% Fire resist in Config tab in POB and see the difference And actually VD build shouldn't have "nearby enemy" when mapping Last edited by Arthur606#6148 on Jan 6, 2019, 9:32:11 PM

" first thanks for the reply, yeah i wonder that too since u dont rlly stay close to mobs when mapping and its prob unecessary for map bosses. just wanna hear ur opinion about it like for example against guardian and up. anyway ill give this build a try soon as i gather enough currency. got the helm enchant while looking for molten strike for my CI jugg Last edited by itsmetian#5343 on Jan 7, 2019, 4:26:59 PM

" Molten Strike is this (o)powerful it can go CI now? |
|
" ikr? yeah it is theres a CI jugg HoWA ver of it. but melee build didnt last long for me so i decided to go back playing tecslam for mapping for currencies. anw how much currency do you think i need to play this build properly consider i alrd have the helm + enchant? |
|
" I thought HOWA was for witch or shadow The big thing other than helmet are Watcher's Eye, Warlord's Elder ring, CDR belt and chest, each can range from 1 to 10 to w/e ex so I don't know what you want to afford |
|
" tbh im pretty lost to what build im gonna play next, the strong point im leaning toward this one is solely because the helmet is an ES base and had the enchant. got 16 ex so far but cant decided yet still looking around for some decent build that might fit my playstyle |
|

dont play this build unless you have 30+ ex to invest into it, tried doing it on 18 and constantly died to uber elder no matter what i tried
