This I believe will be my final version of this build. I will be trying to get to a headhunter next.

My PoB for other stuff https://pastebin.com/Jt1ceYJ2

TLDR: VD 440k DD 700k

Going to crit was a huge boost in damage. I really don't notice the difference between having the 30% cdr on the helm enchant and not having it.
I am however experiencing a huge amount of lag, way more than when I was playing with Elemental Overload. Any idea why that is?

Also is there a better gem configuration? Any idea how I can fit some power charges in there?

Also using Barrage instead of frenzy+barrage support helps a lot for the mana regen/use. My barrage+ awakened curse on hit uses 7 mana

Don't see the reason you check Frenzy charge on your pob ?
How are you able to reserve everything ?

Thanks !

ZZang,

Quick question, where are we getting chilled from in this build?

Also, I've taken your advice and made some updates to my build mainly adding some awakened gems (now I've got to level them up) and swapped to essence gluttony because even without spellslinger on helm I found myself occasionally without mana for a blink in a tight spot.

I ended up crafting this weapon after a lot of scorched fossil spam to start. I've spent 4 more ex trying to craft a new one (sold a few decent ones in between) but haven't gotten lucky enough to get an upgrade. Should I take a different approach to crafting? Is this wand good enough to slam? That crappy spell damage makes me think not.

I assumed my weapon is the problem but I'm not really that sure. on wave 19 and 20 simulacrum I'm struggling to clear and my balls ain't really hitting all that hard. I absolutely MELT all other content in the game though.

Corpse Pact chills and shocks enemys.

Gear looks good so far try to get a Wise Oak for 15% fire penetration and get immune to corrupted blood on energy within so you can replace Quicksilver. Also i would not waste a very useful gem slot for a portal. Immortal Call really helps giving a huge survivability boost for 2 seconds linked with second wind has roughly only 3 seconds cooldown.

Wand is decent i think its not always worth to go all out for a few % more except if you have currency to spare.

Also try to hit the 38% CDR cap at least if possible (18% belt 20% from Spellslinger lvl 21) will be huge damage boost overall.

Other than that i see no issues in gear on first sight. Will have to check PoB after work for details. You should be melting Kosis Wave 20 Simulacrum very easy.

Edit: Pastebin doesnt work for me. You need to make a new one.

Yop,

Tested with Detonate Dead + VD on spellslinger (because I could afford the enchant of spellsplinger reservation, only 5 ex, when the one with cdr reduction is at 50 ex actually...)

It's good. Very good, mapping, and bossing are easier everything melt. I did Shaper, Elder, Uber Elder without dying. Sirus 8 I died, but I killed him, and I'm very bad at this fight (only 3rd times I tried him). Simulacrum 20 is a joke most of the times unless there is mod reducing fire damage taken by mobs (then it's possible, but I died a few times to kosis or big spawning pack). I can basically stand in the middle, even in waves 20.

100% Delirium T16 map can be done, but I have to be careful, and imo, it takes too much times to be profitable. Better do a bunch of 60% summit, easy and clean.

Thanks a lot, Zzang and Clockwise chaos, definitily bring my character up.

Here's my POB : https://pastebin.com/ALPJ2dfg (510K on detonate, and 319K on each ball of VD, 7K4 shield, one cluster jewel, fire/cold resist at 75, lightning at 76 and chaos at 0).

It is a really fun build to play, the gameplay is active and smooth. I had a blast all the league with it. Almost certain you could league start with it easily, and get to T8 map with no investment apart from a tabula and good (but not greats) rares items.
