Arcane Hierophant Uber Elder Killer - Volatile Dead Poet's Pen



Full video guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmgSTtXn_m8

This is the best build I have played so far for killing Shaper and Uber Elder. While Bodyswap is slightly annoying when mapping (Unearth can't go over high ledges), it is perfect for bossing.
Why?
- You can keep large distance from the boss
- VD has autotargeting (killing portals is very easy)
- You are moving (bodyswapping) while dealing damage, so you can dodge everything

Remember you don't see spell damage bonus from Indigon in POB.

Which body armor is best?

If you go CI getting elemental resistances is tough, but doable. Cloak of Defiance is good DPS option until you get 2% mana regen enchant on boots. Otherwise Incandescent Heart is better for DPS and defense (25% elemental damage reduction on top of resists).

With Shavronne's Wrappings you can go low life and reserve life of elemental purities to get resists. Pain Attunement is really good for dps.

I personally prefer CI + Incandescent because of its insane defensive potential.

Pretty much with the same build, Poet's Pens are the best leveling weapons in the game. However grab some life nodes and damage nodes because you don't get the scaling from Indigon early on and Also you can't go Shav's / CI from start. You can also use Arc + Lightning Warp instead of VD (even in the endgame version if you prefer better clear speed).
Would it be possible to go with lightning warp and blade vortex instead of arc?
Always wanted to play a mobile blade vortex Char, and with poets pen it should be quite possible to keep all stacks up warping through the map or around the boss. Even without any duration notes that would fuck up warp.

I'd even consider going juggernaut with shapers touch for both accuracy and additional mana/es scaling through strength because I love that tankiness. But thatwould be another build I guess...
