Thank you for the awesome build guide

Concerning the corrupted Lighting wrap and other corrupted gems shown placed in your staff and Coat
How do you use lightning wrap and other corrupted skills repeatedly if they are corrupt, don't they cost souls and not mana (it says it costs mana)?
My corrupted (vaal-ed) LWrap needs ~16 souls to activate

Thanks in advanced

Vaal Gems are the gems that use souls. They happen to be corrupted as well. You can also corrupt a gem yourself with a Vaal Orb. There's a chance when using a Vaal Orb on a gem to increase its level by one. Doing this is how you can get a level 21 gem.

I see, so wait till the gem is 20 then Vaal it?
Also the build guide shows the gems within the Staff and coat as coruppted and says uses mana. Is that a mistake? for example the ice nova one and LWrap in the video he is using it repeatedly with the cost of mana, how is that possible when the gems are corrupted?

Corrupting a gem doesn't turn it into a Vaal gem. Its still the same gem so it uses mana. You want your gem to be level 20 and 20% quality before you Vaal it. Usually you only do this if you have a backup because there's a chance to lower the level of the gem by one or remove 10% quality from it. If the quality is removed you can't re-add it with GCPs since the gem is now corrupted.

Understood, Thank you very much

Hi!

I'm just lvl 91, don't really know what to do to be better.
I have 4285 HP, 397 non reserved mana, 59 390 dps with IN without charge/buff (only auras)
(128K full charge/buff)

I think, 6L is the next step, but it's hard (never had one)
Want to find a beter ring (for Sol Coil) but it's hard (Rez issue if i droop them, and i want Dext or Craft mod for Dext on the new one)
And a better helmet should be great (could be droop rez on one rings if i had one)

Here is the build :


And the stuff :


If you have advices?
I have 2*Empower LvL2 but when i switch Enhance (L2) for Empower (L2), i loose some dps (near 300 in the hideout)
Are you sure Empower > Enhance (with Herald of ice)

@KouboMog hey dude.

As for ur last question Empower / Enhance with HoI, I really didnt test Enhance vs Empower (lvl 3 / 4) but my estimation will be that empower wins. Checking at lvl 2 doesn't mean much, need to check from at least level 3.

As for your gear - nicely done!

Aside from the ring you mentioned, which is by the way a nice ring overall, your next steps should be (listed by priority):
6L Pledge.
6L Carcass jack.
Corrupted Atziri's step with +1 to socketed gems.
85+ life Gloves.


You still got 6L pledge to get and some more crit nodes in ur passive tree, this two things will make ur dps real high (and he's great as he is right now aswell).

Keep up the good word mate.

Hi Again!

Thanks for your reply :)

I'll work on 6L pledge, but how much Fuse i'll need (on average, take in count that i'm quit unlucky. I try to corrupte IceNova and it fail, so i buy one)

ATM Enhance seems better than Empower (lvl2) (try and i lost 300 dps, it's near nothing but...)
My Enhance is 20Q (loot with 20%) it growing faster than Empower (0%)

right now i use my Passif for some Crit nodes yes. If i check your final passive, i have to take 2 more nodes (Rangers path)
And i have this jewel, should be not bad

Hi, working on this build, looks really fun! At lvl45 I know I have a ways to go- but can anyone recommend leveling gear from 45-68?

I do have a PoH (6S/5L) but obviously can't use it for some time. I'm just using some junky uniques to help out with weapons, and tabula for body.

Suggestions on lower level gear that will help the leveling process?

Here's what I currently have:


Thanks!

Is empower lvl three still best in slot? Should i start leveling the crit damage gem now for until i can get level 4 empower or is level 3 better dps than crit dmg? Enhance sounds promising

Respecced to CI and must say its working out great, still not exactly happy with the survivability but that must be my gear. Got 7.1k ES atm and 36k tool tip ice nova. The build seems to work much better as CI then life anyway.

Super glad to hear that! Finally another CI fellow on board :D

The survivability now gets better with your dmg (and gear ofc), since vaal pact will start to work more and more efficiently.

Btw you might want to change your belt. I see you are running cold to fire and I am not sure the belt is worth it then. You might want to try Auxium belt (http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Auxium) as it gives loads of ES - up to 90 ES, and costs around zero. Or you might use the belt gain stats/resists. Myself I use doryani belt, however as I mentioned, I am pure frost dmg.

Hi,

I am playing this build on TSC and it's pretty good. Currently LVL 90.

I have a question tho. Culling strike seems superior to me before Innervate. After i switched to Innervate i only get the Onslaught like 2 to 4 times per map and i almost never have frenzy charges (one now and then, almost never two) which seems like a huge downgrade from culling strike which kept my frenzy charges full most of the time. Am i doing something wrong? Thanks for any info or explanation.

I'll also include my gear (6L'd both carcass and pledge myself at around level 85 :P call me lucky):

Is having all 7 power charges really important to dps or can I make do with 6 for awhile? I'm still planning to eventually have all 7 but I'm pretty high level and levels don't come that fast anymore. I'm torn between the final power charge and the celestial punishment passive and I can't make a decision.
