What do you think of going this build as crit champion for more tankiness/reliability in actually farming in league without mirror tier items? I've been doing some theorycrafting, but wanted some input by someone who has actually used voidforge. Probably going to go infernal slam/heavy strike, though I was thinking of maybe using a different skill as my primary room clearer. This would be a boss killer.

I know you addressed classes and asserted scion (slayer/assassin) would be the best, but I was doing this for functional boss killing in league (starting out with it next league probably). I think if I can get it rolling I'll get a mirror of your sol locket.

Every class has their own things they bring to the build, but slayer's overleech is still just insanely OP for suvivability. Leeching for ~60-90sec without touching a single enemy and free cull is realllllllllly good. This also enables you to use blood rage+dmg on full life, and "abuse" the Arachnoxia (Arakaali) pantheon with lvl 1 cwdt + Immortal call to have 50% inc life recovery rate. However feel free to explore and forge your own path as the build is pretty straight forward with the damage (even without mirror tier gear). The challenge lies in not feeling squishy.

I think dropping the Kaoms for a pair of high armor titan greaves socketed with inc duration, cast on damage taken, vaal haste, vaal grace would probably mitigate most of the tankiness problems. Plus you could get 12% more ele that way

What about the Ruthless gem? combined with Double damage proc it should be really really hard hit

Ruthless is 1% more damage than multistrike in PoB, but overall I think multistrike is a better QoL and more consistent for this build. Heavy strike is not inherently a fast attack with multiple hits like barrage can be. It's a slow, huge x-y hit. Because of this, we stand no chance in tanking shapers beam or things like it even a little bit without multistrike. However, with slayer overleech it could be different, but I think multistrike would still feel better overall.

Also a ruthless hit would be awesome, but that's only every 3rd hit and only 52% of our hits do double damage. So even if it was statistically correct everytime, where it was every 6 hits dealing double damage, we would then still incorporate chance to hit and crit chance. I just think that's an awful lot of variables when you can just use multistrike for basically the same sheet dps, QoL, and more hits = more chances for BIG damage.

any chance that u can make lvl tree in POB?

Since the centerpiece of this build is a sword you can't use until later game I didn't plan on it. I would really recommend just leveling however you like and trying this build out to have some fun with later if you wanted to.

Skill tree for scion?

I guess is not worth to just take the same path trou the life wheel since we have a lot of crit nodes at the right side and some closer ways to reach vaal pact.

I guess even pure talent jewel would be nice? Is 0.5 base crit and 25 all stats if we get shadoow and scion, and 1% leech if we reach duelist too (prolly chosing duelist path and just manually reaching the shadow one)

Another benefit from Scion/Slayer overleech is you can use blood rage/dmg on full life and be totally fine.

Is not more efficient the harrier node on the right side of the scion ( even the crit and life nodes) than the berserking, so we can even connect with the shadow part of the three that way?

No, and being scion you don't have to connect with shadow.

Harrier even tho it's just 2 pts away is only 0.6% per point dps increase
berserking even tho it's 3 pts away is a whopping 1.8% PER POINT dps increase

also we have to have that jewel socket south of berserking to make out 2nd weight of the empire work. Weight jewels bring us 14% dmg just for that one jewel lol

cant understand it, harrier and the next to it point are 12% att speed (6 per point) plus movespeed. berserk is 18/3= 6% per point too but with out the move speed and forcing us to spend 3 points ant not only 2 thats why i dont understand why one is ok and not the other one

Oh derp it's because might of the meek cancels out harrier. Might of the meek op in that slot tho bc of multi/etc... Doubt it's worth giving up

Didnt thought about might of the meek, that makes sense then. Anyway my concern was coz if we leave berserker and the jewel slot under it and we take the scion-shadow conection with harrier etc maybe we could save some points and we dont have to connect duelist with the right part of the tree.

Anyway, seems like you have worked on the tree a lot so ill just follow your tree. Thanks again for your time! great job!
