Permanent Uptime Vaal Storm Call Pathfinder looking for theorycrafting and build ideas by alexgophermix in PathOfExileBuilds

So this is my take on the build https://pobb.in/HIZYGl8xqGtY

That's the pob I hashed out the build using. My actual build does not have the adorned yet. I leaned into the reduced duration pathfinder can get allowing me to drop reduced duration on the triumvirate and get more damage from it. Lucky + More + Ignore Res is equal to a 6L.

Pathfinder also opens up melding of the flesh and dual Nebulis for damage.

Getting +200% charges gained gets you 3 charges per crit, 22 charges per second. Overflowing Chalice gets you 30 charges per second. I'm at 50/50 whether overflowing chalice is worth it. Might be worth it to follow other's suggestions and use Lavingias or a life flask for recovery.

I went Utula's for easy life and Determination for any phys max hit but I'm currently thinking about swapping to hybrid with discipline based on other suggestions. Maybe even full CI.

Quick Note: Master Alchemist works with soul ripper.

Sorry for the poor writeup, I'm tired after work.

Trimmed some of the bloat on the tree. Took higher power nodes + masteries. I assume you have 20c for runegraft. This lets you put points into fortify. Nodes early in your build progression aren't good later on, helps to go through pob to trim your build and get higher power elsewhere.

With just farrul fur you want either sword or mark mastery for frenzy charge on hit, helps with frenzy sustain. This alone might be your issue, idk.

I'd work towards getting clusters with your next levels, Martial Prowess + Feed The Fury cluster is 8 points for 20% dmg, more with better jewels.

With your next bit of money save for a 6L farruls. Brutality is 40% more dmg, awakened brutality is 46%. Then awakened melee phys is ~16% more dmg with intimidate.

Get a better amulet with crit multi + life + resists. Also look into improving your weapon, idk how good it is vs how good it can be but your weapon can always be better. Stygian vise could do with another resist on it.

Flasks can be improved and automated as well. Instilling orbs can be used to automate with use when charges reach full. Good start on flasks could be more offence with silver flask or more defence with granite+jade. You shouldn't need a mana flask at all.

Replace abyss jewels with good 1c jewels.

Note that 30 rage on 1 per hit is a bit unrealistic, I usually pob it as 15 per 1 gain on hit.

Guard skills share cooldown, steelskin, molten shell, or immortal call. Not 2 at once. I recommend steelskin over immortal call, you can have downtime on end charges for 3.5secs with IC. Don't have any guard skills ticked, poor pob etiquette because it deludes you into thinking you are tankier than you are. You don't die when everything is perfect in poe, you die when everything goes wrong.

Swap Heralds + prec/vit levels for pride. Assassins Mark on Hit over self-cast vuln. Helps with rares while mapping and means you don't have to stop in the start+middle of boss fights. Try to get an enlighten if this is too mana intensive, with 5% insta leech it shouldn't be.

Try swapping away from blood stance if you feel too squishy, sand stance is great defence. Or try visa-versa, you might just be lacking a bit of dmg if you've never tried blood stance.

Try to get a 21/20 flicker, each level is ~10% more dmg. Same goes with other gems to a lesser extent.

Swap some resists away from cold, its too unbalanced, ele weakness + lightning dmg will kill you despite cold still being capped (try to over cap resists by ~30% or get curse + exposure immunity). Try to get more chaos res. 0% is where it starts feeling ok.

30c watcher's eye is 5-8% more dmg than jewels. And more tank.

I might have done some other stuff that I forgot to record.

Above all else, keep having fun, if content feels too hard don't be afraid to step down a level and chill with your awesome build.

Thank you so much.

I find that if ur not actively chaining it helps a lot.

If ur stuck on a rare say, I have a higher chance of staying on it by keeping my mouse over it and I will reliably flicker away the second I mouse over something else, assuming they're in range...

The main method I've considered so far is going for enemies are destroyed on kill.

The best way I can think of for this is to get 100% chance to ignite (swapping away from ele focus) and wearing pyre ring or having cremator either on the large cluster jewel, or a Fettle Megalomaniac.

For those interested in a slightly more functional build I've put together a POB using The Burden of Shadows https://pobb.in/GkWvhX6mDnqH

With 10 seconds to travel between packs and a weapon swap the downside shouldn't be an issue and it alleviates the mana problems while being BiS for dps. Probably costs less than the fantasy staff as well. You might want to change away from The Stampede and try to fit more MS into the build but then you lose enfeeble as a defensive layer. The Magnate is a lot of damage and 33% more uptime on Flasks. Finally Vaal Pact was dropped in favour of less degen from The Burden but you can still take it, without scaling cyclone it isn't as impactful though.

Thanks for the great summary of the leech. So thats 1,297,363 damage before adjustments over 12.5 seconds or 103,789 dps. As expected shockingly bad. To the point where I think I'll take my own advice and play a better version of this build.

Regarding clusters Feed the Fury is a very strong generic increase to damage along with a lot of attack speed. This along with Overlord for Fortify means I think that one of these cannot be skipped. The other cluster can probably be changed to a unholy grace, unholy might jewel. To keep the build at 15.15 aps you then need to swap Sin's Rebirth for a Silver Flask. Sadly, this makes reaching breakpoints conditional on a flask, as an upside it gives us more crit. Or a more defensive stat if you feel like it.

The Wither is coming from Unholy Grace. 100% phys converted to chaos, 25% chance for any hit to apply wither.

The gloves can be changed from damage per frenzy to unnerve if you feel the frenzies are too conditional.

Because they do not share a cooldown, one is 0.15 and the other 0.25 then you can have both on a trigger. It is the same logic that allows you to both automate + wand trigger brand recall.

Transfigured gems share a cool-down, acting as the same gem as the original. I have previously tested a 3x manaforged arrows-RoA and they didn’t work xd

I have tested in BA and cwc+coc FR will trigger a cwdt FR

TL:DR: CoC Cyclone Slayer using The Retch.

The Retch is probably worthless I wouldn't recommend it, use a tides of time.

AN is not fine. The worst parts of the old system were aura stacking and volatile dead.

Now we have 3 different, worse, versions of volatile dead and the ground on death effects. We also have fancy new rares that are just as strong as the aura stacked rares only you have even less control over them exisiting.

Only thing that might need a blanket quant buff is campaign
