[3.13 UPDATED] gr0bbs | Poison Blade Vortex | Budget Viable | Endgame 50Mil+ DPS | Video Guide
" It's a bit more complicated than that. Mistwall is nice, since you are at max block chance (75% i think). Once every 4 seconds, that is. I played with mistwall + 50% chance to evade attacks and Withering Step as standard movement skill. Still wasn't as tanky as with 21% chance to evade, no withering step and MoM/Apeps. In addition, you can't block everything. If you got a map modifier with burning ground for example, you get dmg all the time (Awakening level 8 + high awakening completion at least, that burning ground is EVERYWHERE). So you take dmg all the time, in addition to all the other sources of dmg you can evade / dodge and block. With MoM&Apeps you practically get 250ES per second as reg, which practically is 250 Damage negated. It won't really get much better than that. So yes, Mistwall is a nice defensive upgrade for sure. But it isn't anywhere close to MoM + Apeps. |

" During mapping, BV should be up all the time. If you see one of Grobb's video, he explained how you should keep moving and cast a couple blade vortex when free. Don't wait until it all dropped as you have no DPS then. Damage not great, probably because you missed a couple important skills from the thread of hope circle? Revenge of the Hunted + Swift Venom are both really useful. In addition, you don't have additional curse so the temporal chain is a bit wasted. | |
not sure what im going too drop for bottled faith atm quartz for concecrated ground like in vid phasing is cool and if we want in mapping mistwall 1 dagger good enough so probly best choice

" Yes, I watched this video right after I post this. Just killed Drox and Al-Hezmin. Not instakill but it's something. Because of lack of skill points I have to drop one small cluster to add these points in skills you mentioned with lost of 300 hp and this is too much. Temporary I can just remove 2 SP from empty socket for watcher's eye. Think it will be easier just to level from 95->97 than from scratch :D I can put some more currency in this build but I have to be sure this is something I'm gonna enjoy and will have to create new character to kill all bandits. What else I can replace to improve my mapping? Now I'm looking at some cheap chest with hp and +2 aoe but I think I have to spend some exalts for Sporeguard What Plague Bearer do and when should I cast this skill? During left-clicking icon of this skill is changing, what that means? Last edited by mefistofx on Apr 13, 2020, 7:24:40 AM

" from 95lvl exp curve goes crazy, it will take a bit more time and effort to level to 97, thats why most players stop at 95. u dont need to make new char if u wanna kill all bandits. check wiki for that, u still exchange alira to kill all if u want to. | |
I just wanted to say thank you for creating this build. It is really fun in its original version but after switching to apep and mom it is night and day. 3% increased max resistance, high chaos resi and over 6k ehp are just crazy for the damage you can deal. This is easily one of the most fun builds i have ever played! https://pastebin.com/5NaiGPXQ if anyone is interested. Still no quality/awakened gems and much more room for improvement. | |
" I'm very patience, playing my flicker I died maybe 2-3 times during 93->94 and just one 95-96. I try to avoid big bosses and take map mods I liked to push delirum fast. As well some delving but think this VB is more squishy and can't reliable because I still learning mechanic and piano technique hehe But I didn't know that I can kill some bandits that I helped before. So it doesn't work in the opposite way and I can't resurrect them? hahaha, many thanks for this tip, most useful thing someone told me in this season and it's my second one :D But still with those 2 skill points to activate my Watcher's Eye I won't be able to add Herbalism, Will of Blades - it requires 7 points. At 95 + all bandits killed it requires 2 points more than at lvl100? Think this PoB is not balanced or I missing something? I can save 4 sp buying Sporeguard and allocates Herbalism so that could be convenient. Some of Sporeguareds are empty without allocations - is it worth buying? I will be able to put some anointment there? According to my 2 posts above I got about 15 exalts (up to 25/35 if I want to sell my flicker :() to spend to improve my build. Think it's quite fast and worth to try. Now I have to spawn Sirus and wondering if I'll be able to kill this piece of easter egg Last edited by mefistofx on Apr 13, 2020, 8:53:41 AM

2 problems
1) there is no health recovery against bosses with phases or without minions 2) resistance to states (stunning, shock) have ideas how to fix it | |
I've been playing this in SSF.
Obviously had to make some changes due to gear (or the lack of). Nevertheless, have done Simalacrum challenges, Uber atziri, Shaper, Elder & Sirus. Farming for uber elder set at the moment. I do get one shot every once in a while, but overall pretty good & speedy build. SSF Gear
Spoiler
Still unsure about Shadows & Dust. May go back to Embalmer. Have got 1 cold iron point dagger which I'm using with heartbraker for bosses with no or few adds (like Sirus). "Fixing the endgame was hard - No matter how hard we buffed red maps, people would keep spamming Gorges.
So we turned Gorge into a red map" |
