All the modifiers you listed are only affecting the jewels you'll socket directly into the weapons, so I'd say they're not that "nuts". The best mods would be spell damage/lightning damage/inc crit strike for spells/% elemental as extra chaos/penetrates ele resist/and some other betrayal mods (arcane surge, cast speed etc...) hm i worded that weirdly i guess. i meant the "statstick mods" of 1handed weapons vs 2 handed weapon mods like +2 lightning gems, socketed spells deal 20% more dmg, etc. you would socket your spark set up into the weapon anyway in that case, so it effectively becomes a 7 / 8 link depending on the rolls. im just curios what performs better in endgame scenarios	Posted by KinGGaiA#6634 on Jun 21, 2019, 4:56:29 PM Quote this Post

Respecced this character today into something else. I didn't really enjoy the soul management you had to do with monoliths. Still an insane build for general mapping though. Anyone want a -40% soul cost staff? Looking for 1.5ex or so for the one I was using.	Posted by cdnza#3561 on Jun 21, 2019, 11:11:58 PM Quote this Post
ok i went back to this build, now with chill of corruption. it is a fucking BLAST, works perfectly fine with mf gear in burials. you get souls from legion mobs after they popped if you shatter them, so its smooth sailing. no need to worry about souls anymore.

So mobs you shatter in the first phase of the monolith give souls? That sounds awesome! Didn't know it worked like that :) My builds : CoC Volatile Dead Assassin - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2742649 Vaal Spark Pathfinder - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2302486/page/1	Posted by iRa38#2195 on Jun 22, 2019, 7:05:58 AM Quote this Post
Why haven't anyone mentioned Hypothermia yet? Is it because the first hit doesn't affected it? (they have to be either chilled or frozen) it seems like it would be better than any other dps gem (controlled destruction/crit strike/crit dmg) if of course you are running brotherhood/added cold and maybe herald of ice is also enough.

Would a Zerphi's Heart be usable on this build? I got the vial for it today in SSF and really want to make a good build with it. Got the flask and a staff with the bloodstained fossilcraft as well.	Posted by Jagaimo#2993 on Jun 22, 2019, 7:58:59 PM Quote this Post

Got the flask and a staff with the bloodstained fossilcraft as well. Never tested the amulet. But I guess it could work if you can handle the increase stat requirement :) My builds : CoC Volatile Dead Assassin - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2742649 Vaal Spark Pathfinder - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2302486/page/1	Posted by iRa38#2195 on Jun 23, 2019, 4:33:50 AM Quote this Post
