This is my first post ever in the forum, and I just wanted to say thank you so much VOC for such an amazing build you brought to us, I've never had so much fun in PoE, I'm having a blast leveling up with it, and I can't wait to get to solo mapping and bring lots of curses to group play with my friends. Thanks again VOC ♥

For sure ! - Greatly appreciate the comment

This build is probably the most fun I've had in POE for a few leagues. Really well put together. Starter gear is easy to manage with plenty of room for upgrades. Also Voc does not lie when he says he's open to in game messages to help out. In middle of crafting staff upgrade and you've been very helpful, tyvm sir.

I really enjoy support builds but everything in the past has lacked solo capability, not true here. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Start with Cane of Unraveling , it is less than 100c for a 6 linked perfect rolled one.

It takes over 10 ex to beat it and 40-50 ex to get a substantial upgrade.

When you save 50 ex saved and have every other item in your build perfected, THEN try to craft a better staff.

I recommend buying a 6 linked NON-WARSTAFFF , NON-CRIT base that is iLVL 86+ and NON-INFLUENCED.

Then you can spam abberant fossils or alt regal to hit the +3 chaos mod.

Then you can imprint and aug/regal until you get good mods.

Then you can use Beasts to gamble adding mods (Split, Pre to Suf, Suf to Pre, and imprinting)

Then you can multimod to complete.

After the multimod you can use Suf to Pre to gamble off the Multimod dead stat.

Then you can influence ex slam it.

I have spent about 200 Ex crafting staves this league and have hit about 4 good ones.

First buy a level 3 or 4 empower (this is an easy 20 - 30% damage boost)

Then Go for a chest with +5 total for another 20% boost
(Global +1 , Aoe +2, duration +2, curse +2) all work so make a live search for all combos you only need 1 red and 1 blue (to some degree the other colors can be flexible)

Then get an amulet with +1 to Intelligence gems or chaos gems AND Chaos Multi 13+% (this is another 10% boost)

Then try to improve the jewels you are using in your jewels in your tree, look for jewels with ES% + Resists + Damage or Chaos Multi you can pick up another 10% there

Then try to pick up ring corruptions to better focus your flask optimization.
(get a well rolled cinder swallow)

LASTLY follow the process to try to seek a staff upgrade.


If you complete all these steps one by one at the end your damage will be DOUBLED from what it is now.
