[3.16] LL VD Spellslinger | 8.2 k ES | 75%Block / 75% Spell Block | not recommended anymore



I do not have the flasks that I would need, On cluster jewels I only have
1 stalwart commander ,1 conjured wall , 1 thaumophage , 1 energy from naught

What should I upgrade first? Cooldonw reduction? 6 link? Something else?

Anyone who transitioned from a life build with Inpulsa's and Enduring Cry towards LL VD can comment on what type of changes one might expect regarding clearspeed, single target and defense? Especially the defense part is what I'm wondering about.


Equal clear speed and roughly 8 times more single target damage actually able to clear T19 100% delirious max juiced (the Life VD version is not able to).
Defense is a bit weaker but covered with 3000-4000 ES more than life and very high regen and leech + block you will need to use your dash more skillfully then you will be alright.

This build can handle even such map solo and I don't even know if there's any other that can do it as well. So single target and defense is amazing.

Second character of the league, going really well.

I know I need to change my rings out, but anyone see anything else that I can upgrade?
Hey zzzang, first off - I'd like to say thanks for the very detailed guide, it answered a lot of questions I had about the build, especially the mana reservation bit in the FAQ. Very informative and well-written!

I have a few questions, for anyone familiar with this build:

1. Crown of The Inward Eye with Spellslinger Reserved Enchant is ridiculously expensive. I don't want to give up HoA, or a link (I have 6l shavs) so I plan to go with the HoA on Blood Magic approach. The links are a bit tight though - is dropping Second Wind on the gloves setup viable? That will allow me to run HoA - Blood Magic || Dash - Arcane Surge on gloves. If not, where else should I fit the 2L HoA set up?

2. I plan to hit the 52% cdr breakpoint by using Spellslinger Gem (19%) + 15% boots + 16-20% CDR on belt, since again, the enchant is too expensive and I don't want to drop Crown of the Inward Eye cuz of the stats. This makes the build a bit resist-starved according to PoB since it's hard to also get high res on boots/belt with CDR already. In this case, should I drop Essence Glutton and take Commander of Darkness? Is it a big DPS drop?

3. Expanding on question number 2), aside from the ES regen, how does Essence Glutton boost dmg? I don't understand. Is it because we run out of mana without Essence Glutton and therefore miss triggers? In your OP you said "essence glutton allows us to never miss a trigger at 69% cdr", what if the CDR is at 52% instead? Would essence glutton still boost DPS? Or would 30% increased Damage from Commander of Darkness be better?

Thanks for your time and assistance! Sorry for the long questions but I'd really appreciate if you or anyone else can clear it up :)

1. As far as i have seen most people drop arcane surge. Second Wind+ Dash is your Bread and Butter dont drop those.

2. With the current version mana issues will probably make the build feel pretty bad without Essence Glutton. Go for res on boots and skip cdr for now there. You could try how mana feels without Essence Glutton but i think it will be lackluster. Also getting resist from cluster jewels is very easy these days.

3. Essence Glutton major part is resolve any mana issue we could have its second function is to provide up to 6% ES regen per second. Damage is indirectly boosted because a trigger is not missed when going for a normal attack because barrage support animation counts as attacking and therefore checking for possible triggers during the whole animation.

This build is a blast to play. I finally managed to do deathless A8 sirus last night, other bosses besides harvest are just straight up delete at this point.
Sitting on 9k ES.
