Nah no adjustments really. Just save flasks for split phase if possible. Maybe vaal grace instead of taunt totem.

Works great. Surprisingly smooth for Uber Atziri, only prone to dying at trio last guy when out of flasks (usually down the first 2 during first 8 seconds). Around 9 runs down so far, still no gloves though, feelsbadman.

Thanks for the build OP, easily my fave build this league.

Will answer when I can look at your PoB. Off the bat though ur question doesn't make much sense. Re-read the guide and make sure you know the mechanics if how the build works.

I understand that the retch will deal damage endlessly as chaos damage due to the slayer ascendant...my question regards with my barrage not seeming to insta-leech even with VP..I really have no idea why that is tho? Barrage is an attack skill ergo it should insta-leech with VP (right?)...anyway ATM KB is doing fine for life-gain coz it hits alot of mobs so it helps me survive, I just wanna understand why barrage isn't leeching correctly for me..I think I'm doing something wrong..or there is an interaction between VP and barrage that I do not know.

I looked at your char. There is nothing wrong with barrage and VP interaction. Retch damage/ slayer leech scales off your damage done and amount leeched. So the bigger your damage the more noticeable it is, it is an endgame setup.

You simply dont have enough Barrage damage at this point for VP to be effective, being level 70+, wrong prioritization of passive tree, no point blank etc, underleveled gems, 5L chest etc, and incorrect gem links for barrage, and no raider ascendancy, no dying sun etc

-on a 5L ill go barrage>WED>elemental focus>lightning penetration>added lightning. We are not pathfinders so we dont need increased crit. light pen>>> increased crit in damage. Get a 6L asap and add slowe proj

-unspec all crit nodes and path southward, grab point blank ASAP its a 50 percent damage straight boost to barrage and KB. Grab primeval force. You dont have enough base dmg for crit nodes to be any effective, leave all crit nodes till last.

-do your labs and get raider ASAP. auto frenzy and onslaught on rares and bosses is huge dps boost for barrage. In fact if you ask me ill get raider before slayer.

-prioritise getting a dying sun, its another straight 50 percent damage boost to Barrage.

-drop herald of ice for herald of thunder, we only scale lightning damage on vintars/retch. add Bloodrage as it is a big DPS boost/ speed for mapping

-at this point you shd be fine, if u feel squishy still especially with vinktars down, path towards gladiator from point blank and grab a couple more leech nodes. Unspec them when you feel u do enough damage to just have 0.4 leech.
