[3.2] Voidforge Crit Cyclone | 100% Pure Ele | Shaper Viable
|
Hello Everyone,
This is my Guide for those that want to build around Voidforge. Pros: + Can do every Boss in the game + Very High Damage & Fast Clear Speed + Can do almost every map mod + Fairly Cheap to get started, only expensive item early on is Voidforge + Spin to Win Cons: - Can't do elemental reflect maps - Can be expensive for end game GG gear - Not a League Start build Required Gear: Why Crit? No reason not to with Champions Taunt ascendancy, "Hits cant be evaded against taunted enemies." Why not use Elemental Focus? It provides higher damage but you must shock enemies by other means Bandits: Alira for all res and extra crit multi
Acendancy
 Unstoppable Hero > Conqueror > Worth Foe > Fortitude / First Strike, Last to Fall I personally prefer Fortitude over First Strike, Last to Fall as it provides permanent Fortify and maintaining both Fortify and Adrenaline can be a pain in the ass especially on difficult boss fights, however taking First Strike, Last to Fall is a massive boost to damage If you do take First Strike, Last to Fall, having a curse, blood magic and blasphemy on a weapon swap is an easy way to trigger Adrenaline My recommendation is to only take First Strike, Last to Fall for mapping
Passive Tree
My Gear
Recommended Gear
Helmet
Preferably enchanted with Cyclone attack speed or damage Alternatives:
Gloves
Tombfist are best in slot, free intimidate, ias and life and an abyss socket Note: Elemental Weakness on hit is not required but provides a really nice boost to damage Oskarm are nice for easier power charge generation and increased critical strike chance Alternative:
Chest
For Mapping I use: For Shaper & Guardians you'll want: Alternatives:
Belt
Looking for Life, resistances, & elemental damage with attack skills Alternatives: Provides permanent Onslaught if you've chosen the Fortitude Ascendancy or have Fortitude Global Phys damage, resistances, flask charges gained & Crit chance if you have over 200 int
Boots
Necklace
Looking for Life, resistances, adds physical damage, attributes, & Crit multi if possible Alternatives: Provides resistances, attributes, increased attack range and increased damage at full life
Rings
Looking for Life, phys damage, resistances, elemental damage with attacks, & attributes if needed Alternatives: Shaper ring with Curse Enemies with Assassin's Mark on Hit
Jewels
Abyss Jewels: Life > Flat Physical To Attacks/Swords > Attack Speed > Crit Multi > Res Note: Blind is great for QoL as it greatly increases your chances to evade attacks Jewels: You want %Life > Physical Damage with Sword > Attack Speed > Crit Multi > Area Damage > Res
Potions
Pantheons
Major Soul of Solaris - fully upgraded Minor Soul of Ralakesh - fully upgraded, helps mitigate Blood rage damage or Soul of Shakari - fully upgraded for poison immunity You can do Soul of Yugul but I do not recommend doing ele reflect maps
Gem Links
Sword: Cyclone - Melee Physical Damage - Elemental Damage with Attacks - Increased Critical Strikes - Increased/Concentrated AoE - Damage on full life Helmet: Cast when damage taken - Immortal Call - Increased Duration - Molten Shell (If not using kaom's) / Ancestral Protector Gloves Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Vaal Haste Boots: Hatred - Summon Ice Golem - Blood Rage - Lesser Duration Note: Lesser Duration is if you have Aspect of the Cat on your boots as it reduces the Buff duration down to 3 seconds Chest: A few Options here: Ancestral Protector - Faster Attacks - Elemental Damage With Attacks - Melee Physical Damage - Increased Critical Strikes Or you could swap in Vaal Haste with Increased Duration as well as Enduring Cry Or if you take First Strike, Last to Fall Ascendancy you'll want to swap in: Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Fortify
Video's
Full Shaper Run Died once because I left Zana's bubble early and died to a purple ball Shaper Guardians: Chimera Kill Phoenix Kill Minotaur Kill Hydra Kill Ill add more video's as I go, I haven't been able to spawn Uber Elder yet as I am still missing a memory fragment
Generating Power Charges
There are a couple of ways of generating Power charges though they aren't needed: We can use However a long fight or with nothing to curse can be problematic Is another option, socketing in the Scion res wheel is the best location but also requires you to kill For long fights I personally prefer using on weapon swap to quickly generate charges: Alternate Classes Champion isn't the only class you can play this build with but I find it is the most balanced when it comes to both damage and defenses
Juggernaut
https://pastebin.com/UhHgDWhM Probably the most defensive option as it provides almost permanent immortal call but is the lowest damage choice
Inquisitor
https://pastebin.com/8MQka6mA A slight edge over champion in terms of damage and you can use another curse instead of Elemental Weakness
Raider
https://pastebin.com/YFEhhKSm Less damage then champion but provides free Onslaught which frees up a flask slot and easier frenzy generation allowing you to drop blood rage if you choose. Also has the highest movement speed and attack speed
Assassin
https://pastebin.com/UsV1FFux Similar Damage to champion and easiest class to generate power charges but severely lacks the defense the champion provides
Scion
https://pastebin.com/XxSidC2i Number of options for classes to choose from, personally I would go Raider & Assassin Last edited by Srid#2430 on Apr 21, 2018, 7:58:36 AM Last bumped on Apr 21, 2018, 8:16:51 AM

Your Voidforge in POB is wrong.
It is AN element (Gain 300% of Weapon Physical Damage as Extra Damage of an Element) but yours in POB has; Gain 100% of Weapon Physical Damage as Extra Cold Damage Gain 100% of Weapon Physical Damage as Extra Fire Damage Gain 100% of Weapon Physical Damage as Extra Lightning Damage If you correct the weapon your DPS is only 900k and not 3M with your optimistic configuration. At least I am never seeing any lightning damage on my cyclone in game. Last edited by Keshr0#4911 on Apr 20, 2018, 8:06:04 PM

it's look like interesting. I try now with a Duelist.
I have a first question, maybe there will be more later : What is your second aura you use ? Now, i try with blasphemy + Enfeeble for more survivability. I will try another thing later. |

" PoB doesn't simulate random elements. Alternatively you can split up the 300% into 3 mods each of 100% to an element like I have done. Your not seeing lightning damage on your cyclone in game on your tooltip because it's a on hit effect and its random which element you hit with. Last edited by Srid#2430 on Apr 21, 2018, 7:51:14 AM

" My second aura is Aspect of the Cat from: You can use Enfeeble but I would have that setup in a cast when damage taken and run either Arctic Armour for more defense or Herald of Ash for more damage Last edited by Srid#2430 on Apr 21, 2018, 7:52:30 AM

" Hm okay. Have you tried Ele equilibrium? I would think it would be strong if it sorta cycles through the elementals. Also I would think Elementalist sounds fun to try. Might give it a go later if I got one I can reset. :) |

" Yes I was originally EE but I switched when dropped for me When I was EE I was using Grace Last edited by Srid#2430 on Apr 21, 2018, 8:18:59 AM
