[3.7] Perforate 'Herald of Pain' - 6.2k HP, 600k+ DPS




~ Welcome to pain infliction ~


Perforate is an incredible ability, with extremely fast change capability between fairly wild AoE & insane single target capabilities. Together with Scion it is quite tanky and extremely capable in high-tier play.

I was disappointed when exploring the very few other build examples posted for Perforate so I took some time to really dive into some theory and came out with something incredible.

Current Progress:
~Deathless Act 1~10
~Tier 13 maps cleared easily (no signs of slowing down)
~Lvl 76 (started farming t13 and delve 170 at lvl 73 with current gear)

Notable achievements:
~Defeated Lab 2 (lvl 55 area), at level 45
~Upon completing Act 10, I did a soft / entry-to-mapping refit - slayed lab 3 - then 4, tried a couple t4 maps, skipped to 7, then 11 after I finished off most gear.

Pros:
~Immune to reflect
~Super tanky
~Great league starter with wild levels of scaleability in very late game pending currency
~Automated Endurance & Frenzy charge generation not requiring curses to function
~Quite easy to cap Chaos Resist. I'm @72 in game.

Cons:
~May not reach 4~6 million dps, but being a very well balanced build with high surviveability - I don't really care.

Build Cost:
Spoiler
~I crafted most rare equipment for about 100 Chaos
~Body Piece: 350 Alt for max life roll, 1 regal luck for proc on DR, 2 EX for Multi-mod, 4 EX for Fated Connections, & 6 socket / link prophecy proc with about 200 Jewelers
~Not requiring a 6L weapon makes the Starforge more affordable. 4 Ex purchase cost, 300 Jewelers to proc 6 socket, 30 fusing for 5 link, about 200 chrome for colors.
~Build can wildly scale if you can invest in 2~3 Unnatural Instinct Jewels (4-5 Ex ea/), & if you can get a double Vitality rolled Watcher's Eye (10~20 Ex).

It's really really not.

It doesn't do off-screen kills, but 60ish% of the screen is lit up. And if I can take down t13~15 bosses so far in less than 3~5 seconds; single target is obviously on point. Don't knock what you obviously don't understand.
