All content destroyer vd/Zerphi's on "budget"

What is your typical flask rotation? Just standing in hideout, I can't quite maintain full flask charges on my Taste of Hate, which is essential to fill in my resist hole.

all for + malice and over and over

make belt like main and u will be fine, and in combat u got a litle more charges

u can also try charge on crit and swap some nodes for crit chance

Hi i came across your build i have these will it work for the build well? looking to make a new build





Also could you post your items to give an item what to look out for also is the build effected by not using body swap i hate that gem :)

How to level this is it okay without the flask at start/what ascendancy to take 1st?

thank you for the build.
just copy paste your item to mine

I went for cooldown recovery on my belt. Though having a non-shaped belt would allow me to go all-in on flask mods.



Anyway, here's the rest of my gear. I think it's extremely good. I managed to assemble gear with a huge resist hole on cold that is only capped by taste of hate. That objective actually makes it surprisingly easy to gear.



The boots are sort of a placeholder right now, having 30% movespeed while mapping is a huge quality of life. I'll swap to kaom's roots when I actually fight hard bosses.

I am theoretically terrified of not having my flasks up, or getting nailed by a nullifier, but that issue really hasn't been an issue thus far.

I've worked out a decent flask rotation. What I've been doing is hitting 12345 at the start of an area, then I hit the central 234 when my taste is starting to run low. I haven't decided how much duration on my overflowing chalice I should aim for, I'll play around with it.

Another point: if you are relying on Blood Rage to drain your mana while mapping, DO NOT quality your Zerphi's or Divination Distillate. I have net -1 mana per second with those 3 things up, if it ever flips into the positive, you can't sustain zerphi's duration. When I'm up against a boss, I might use RF, because that means you don't need to constantly recast BR as its duration ends without killing an add.

So I have 50ex to spend after farming Uber Lab so much I never want to touch it again. Is it really this easy? Just get the gear pop flasks and be done. I have never done a build like this before. Is there any thing I need to be aware of as far as skills used in a certain order or flasks popped in a certain order. I don't want to spend all this currency and then feel like an idiot trying to make this work.

Thanks

Dude. I managed to upload videos of your build in action. I'm pretty impressed by how smooth I can do end game contents. Can I post some of the action here and give you credits on my videos? Thanks.

Yes sir. That's it. Get the gear. Pop flasks. Done.

Ok thanks, couple of more questions. What is the main single target skill of this build? Again, just trying to wrap my head around how it works and how the skills interact with each other before buying all the gear.

Thanks!

The main skill used here is actually Frenzy with Volatile Dead and Unearth+Body Swap on dual wield Poet's Pen. In the passive tree you should have 5 Fevered Minds to increase the mana cost of Frenzy. You should also have Mind over Matter for the Righteous Fire. RF degens so with Mind Over Matter you degen Mana fast. Your mana is mostly depleted. Zerphi's Last Breath is a Grand Mana Flask. Every time you have no mana and use Zerphi, the flask will always be up as long as you don't have mana. Frenzy has Blood Magic+Life Gained on Hit+GMP linked on it and equipped on an Elder Gloves with 3 skill gem mods to increase its mana cost. Why? the answer is in Zerphi. More mana used means more life gained. You'll be constantly firing Frenzy because of Blood Magic (uses Life instead of Mana) but tooltip will say it's Mana Cost not Life Cost. RF is there also. VD/Unearth+BodySwap will cast freely because of Poet's Pen. The other gears are of course for more Survivability and Offense.
