Basically it is a "basic" Max Block Blade Vortex poison build with a Death's Oath





Level 90 PoB pastebin of the current build



https://pastebin.com/zeUcyCpe



Important Endgame gear with links/sockets



Spoiler



The goal of this build is to maximise damage around and nearby the character while being quite tanky



The hardest part to obtain will be the offcolour Death's Oath and the Broken Faith (important for 40% extra chaos damage on the bv)



Important about the death oath are at least 2b for the purpose of "abusing" the arcane surge trick to give the death aura a duration tag



best would be a 3b/2g to link arcane surge, concentrated effect, efficiacy, lesser duration, void manipulation and swift affliction, as can be seen, im still grinding to get that myself



Before one can get a +1curse stone of lazwhar, either ignore the witchfire brew (though it gives a nice burst) or path to Whispers of Doom



For leveling purposes, a cybil's paw is a must have until the scourge can be bought (120% spell damage to 160% generic damage)



The Embalmer is important to get BladeVortex 5linked with both poison and the vile toxin gem



The defense is layered between bone max block, arctic armour, coh enfeeble and fortify



Another possible upgrade is a Abberath's hooves to get an aoe detonation while shield charging into hordes



Otherwise jewel slots are mostly to fine tune resists and get some extra stats, primarily, minion damage, damage and chaos damage are desired on the jewels

This is a really really low dps, low survivability, and low consistency build.



Low mobility, very hard to get resistances, very gem heavy, just overall a poor build.



It's also not taking essential nodes, not optimized, and is strictly worse than a level 70 righteous fire build (dps-wise) Last edited by AccountNameGnoll on Oct 15, 2017, 7:17:43 PM Posted by

Greaaat criticism, eg what essential nodes?



The gems are because i have them, you dont need all the 21/20 im grinding for



The most expensive aspect is ofcolouring the death's oath



It should be obvious that any item not in the required section is free to be changed



Taking a look at your builds, none of them are remotely well pathed or layer defenses

When im satisfied with it's performance i might consider doing so



It trivialises a lot of content, though somewhat lacks against the doubled boss hp in red maps When im satisfied with it's performance i might consider doing soIt trivialises a lot of content, though somewhat lacks against the doubled boss hp in red maps Posted by

here you go. A billion times better.



Temp chains, Block, Evasion, way higher life.

x4+ ur damage

AoE Explosions. Consistency



Build does more damage with 3 blades than yours does with 20.



> Doesn't scale with a terrible chest piece for no reason

> Doesn't require an item that it cannot self-farm (You're not killing a guardian with this garbage build.)

> Will not have issues killing T5 map bosses like your build will.





>Also



Layered defenses does nothing when you have 3.7k life

You can't layer with 200% Effective HP if you take MORE damage because it takes you LONGER to kill things.



The best way to play defensively, is to reduce their attacks/spells per second and have a pool that can sustain a crit.



IE: Blasphemy temp chains - which my build uses. Yours doesn't, so your defenses are moot.

The fun part is right now



misses the point of the build, and all it does shows that your opinion and initial criticism is absolutely worthless and full of shit Posted by

^^ dont worry about seker_poe, he recently argued for 3 pages about how slower projectiles wont affect ea damage, despite his own linked raizqt video, pob, mark from ggg and the wiki contradicting him.

Just a troll who seems to miss the point a lot. Last edited by Fhark on Oct 16, 2017, 4:01:07 AM Posted by
