Can't afford to get even 2 jewels with 2 meta dps and max life rolls atm check path of building and see if the poison rolls are even relevant. unwavering is a good node, nothing wrong with taking it until you get higher life (or just use cyclone) 🥚 IGN: demigodking \| Creator of Demigod's Wager 🍋 twitch.tv/demi \| youtube.com/demigodkinglol 🥔 Mirror Thread (400+ Services): pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1753977 🍋 #1 Items, IIQ MF Item Duplication Services, Carries and More! 🥚 TheSpiderQueenByDemi - Hall of Grandmasters	Posted by DeMiGodking102 on Jun 11, 2018, 2:38:56 AM Quote this Post
Thank you for this build. It's the first build I play to level 90 in this game. Really fun to play with. :) :) :) Last edited by Beli1990 on Jun 11, 2018, 3:21:42 AM	Posted by Beli1990 on Jun 11, 2018, 3:19:57 AM Quote this Post

Not familiar with PoB and it does not look newbie friendly. Can anyone let me know if poison damage on jewels is any good?	Posted by ChewablePeak on Jun 11, 2018, 5:11:00 AM Quote this Post
I can still use some upgrades, but can clear everything as is. Thanks for the fun build Demi.	Posted by Dannyftw on Jun 11, 2018, 5:37:27 PM Quote this Post
I'm having trouble clearing incursion encounters in time, as well as being overwhelmed some time die. I can face tank merc Argus, but if I get overwhelmed by mobs or stunned, I die near instantly. Not sure what to upgrade next, or if my tree needs to be adjusted?	Posted by aucran on Jun 12, 2018, 6:03:04 PM Quote this Post

It seems like my sheet DPS in game is roughly doubled when using Vaal Double Strike over lacerate. Just about to finish A10, been a slow start as I am super busy IRL, but is DS just that far superior to everything else this patch? I prefer the clear speed of Lacerate but the dmg feels notably weaker than DS and the single target on VDS is just gross.	Posted by Aestartes on Jun 14, 2018, 8:53:38 AM Quote this Post

I prefer the clear speed of Lacerate but the dmg feels notably weaker than DS and the single target on VDS is just gross. It's been talked about a little over past couple of pages. This build allows you to comfortably run two setups - lacerate for clear and vaal double strike for single target.	Posted by Hanokano on Jun 14, 2018, 10:31:10 AM Quote this Post
I fully understand I can run and swap out both I am more curious if VDS is just flat out better even if I personally prefer the aesthetic and range of Lacerate. It just seems odd that the DPS difference between the two seems so large.	Posted by Aestartes on Jun 14, 2018, 11:30:18 AM Quote this Post
Still went and facetanked Kitava with Lacerate without even a scratch!	Posted by Aestartes on Jun 14, 2018, 12:24:32 PM Quote this Post
