I found something interesting for my Poet pen volatile dead version

this enchant on the helmet adds +5 to unearth corpse level

and Poet's pen adds +3 to Unearth level, at lv 75.
At first I used Added Fire to Unearth, but now I put in a lv 3 Empower

Which makes the corpse lv 90, and from what I read it has like 33+ k life

This makes the Volatile dead corpse explosion base fire damage much higher, so stronger poison.
Plus Unearth also has higher base physical damage at lv 25


The damage feels higher, but hard to tell how much actual DPS I do.
I can kill the boss in the act 10 Descerated chambers, with wither totem up in a few secs, about the same as my crit ball lightning Shimmeron Trapper, who has a 7k tooltip with cluster trap

i was took a look at your charracter profile, and i think abyss jewel work not good with VD poet's pen, since the base dmg of VD really high, it scale better at %fire/%dot from normal jewel than some add fire dmg from abyss jewel (even with top tier roll)

OP, I find this thread very annoying. I tried for hours to make a nearly identical build in 3.0, and could never get enough damage for it to be worth it. I tried volkkurs pathfinder using quill rain, dendrobate, etc. All the same stuff.


Im sad i didnt give it another go in 3.1.


Im now exploring some alternative ideas. Looking to see if i can make explosive arrow work. With Anger and fire jewels, I see 600k 5 fuse explosions, which are a lot higher than the popular EA builds floaying around. The fuse arrows themselves still do 500k damage too. This gives us an explosive arrow build where the fuse arrows do even more damage than the explosion.


Problem is, its probably still better to just use ice shot.


It's unfortunate that burning damage does not apply poison stacks, so it seems that ignites don't really contribute much, other than getting some scaling from the dots.

Might be possible to use xophs bow for life on ignite (wasnt this bugged? ) and drop thiefs torment for 2 rings, but i suspect it will half your damage... But then you get 2 ring slots.
