BUILD NEED LVL 20 DESECRATE FOR MAPS!
Oh, and spell cascade is bad idea still. You only generate around 25 corpses per second. When each VD consume 3 corpses this is more than anough, but with spell cascade you consume 9 and so half of VD proc(it can proc 5-6 times per second) do nothing(since there are no corpses to use) and you actually loose DPS, not gain it.

P.P.S. you need 14% cooldown recovery speed. Don't know exact math behind it, but found that number via testing. 12% and below CDR do nothing, 14%(or more) add around 10% more damage via more 10% procs per second. You probably should divine your belt 1-2 times to get 14% or 15% cdr.
(with exactly 13% it's inconsistent, so better have 14 to be sure)
Also found another way to add damage into build. Will write about it later this day.

Just hit lvl 24 and it's been a blast, literally!
I was just wondering, is there a reason why we don't run VD+Spellslinger on chest to add more supports? Is it because of mana reservation?

Thx for the build!

That question is so popular I should add it to FAQ. Oh, and made that FAQ in the first place.
(but short ansver is - cooldown. Poet's cooldown is 0.15 where spellslinger is around 0.5. Poet's just proc way more often and that more than make up for lost supports)

Didn't realize VD'd damage came from the corpse explosions since that damage cannot be modified. I thought most of it came from the balls. I'll try levelling it up and see how it feels. Thanks for diagnosing my build for me.

I can not even complete a blight encounter in a t16 EE map because of the piss poor damage. I have the near same DPS as your POB. I can hold down my right-click on most bosses, but it takes minutes to kill any remotely tanky boss.

You are right, i can do t13 blighted maps comfortably with this build, but not higher because of tight bosses.
For high tier blight maps and blight encounters you need minions imo.

Should we be using spell cascade in the chest links? Getting conflicting information when reading post replies.

BTW this build rocks!

I am now mapping t15/16 with this build easily. Much more easier than any build I used before.

I just get a pair of influenced gloves that give faster attack and additional accuracy support to supported skill.
I now use barrage-life gain on hit-combustion-greater multiple projectile on this gloves. The final mana cost of barrage is 4 and is still sustainable.
How would u comment on this combo? I am not sure if the combustion support is efficient as the base fire dmg of barrage seems to be too low to ignite a boss.

Thanks for the build again.
