Recommend vaal build?

Relatively cheap one.
To specify what cheap in my opinion - 20 divines as absolutely maxed. But viable even at less than 1 divine.

I made a mistake trying to follow another vaal build, that looked quite interesting to me. Except haven't done enough research, and only later found out that just one mandatory item worth 76+ divines.... jokes on me.

Why vaal build? Well, haven't tried before builds focused on using vaal skills. If it focused on one of newest vaal skills - even better!

And just in case, to anyone with: "oh, just go farm divines, it easy!", just pass by. Don't waste my and your own time. Appreciate it.

With lack of replies, may i assume that all vaal-focused builds simply very expensive?
the only good one i can think of uses hateforge...

It's my build guide.
It's written for newbies, but experienced players can use it too.

Or you could try Ghazzy's version.
To actually play a vaal-skill themed build, and not just a normal build that happens to use vaal skills sometimes, you need expensive items like Triumvirate Authority, Soul Ripper, or Hateforge. On a low budget you are definitely looking at a build that just has a vaal skill in its setup.

I played a wave of conviction and Vaal Flameblast ignite elementalist, which I league-started with so it's very budget friendly. I can recommend it for this purpose because you use the vaal skill as your main single-target killing skill. There are other guides but start with this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqxl8UsO5Cc
If you don't mind the limits inherent to melee, I have a vaal reave block build that is lots of fun. Dharamakazi in my character list.

Thank you for explanation.

I hope GGG will bring more budget version for us in future.
And yes i know that also means no 150 million DPS. But i honestly don't care, as long as it's decent enough for endgame, and actually vaal-focused.
