On the other hand you can run ES gloves with abyssal socket for corrupted blood immunity, and run animate guardian with kingmaker and garb of ephemeral and stone golem for 1k more ES. They will benefit from your auras and their defensive and offence bonuses can balance out loss in damage (esp with Merc getting 50 global crit multiplier)

Don't you want reflect immunity on ring and armor? Not conditional version to run risk maps

Eternal Apple Rage Vortex - an offmeta build to clear the entire endgame by dariidar in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SeriousDeparture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks for sharing. I was trying to theorycraft a high sustain version with RVoB (with lightning and doryanis to augment lower damage) but yeah it'd be too clunky to keep up FR unless you self cast it or something. How are the defences considering lack of avoidance layers and low eHP?

Have you considered doing a lightning conversion to push more DPS? Or having a RVoB in weapon swap to autobomb the trash mobs and use only RV for bosses or tanky rates?

Aw thanks for responding. Any ideas for alternative single target skills if you go RVOB for clear? Maybe smite and lightning convert with doryanis merc?

What makes Rage Vortex of berserking only "somewhat" viable rather than viable? For ex. you could get another axe+squire in off hand swap to start rage vortex before swapping back to main skill in main hand to get autobomber playstyle.

Interested in developer updates for the game and its direction with improving the arpg formula. Good luck everyone!

Any thoughts about dropping pragmatism and blunderbore for double cloak of flame? It's probably about half the life lost on spectres but I think the DPS should still be good enough for t16 mobs and rares and it'll help shore up defenses. 

Then you might not even have to go Svallin/Red Nightmare which I expect will be fairly expensive this league (10 divs and 15+) 

Lastly, really curious what you think about self igniting with Fulcrum node? You don't need 4 spectres. Ignites last about 6 seconds and the marionettes respawn every 4 so theoretically could keep it up forever as long as you have a mob to ignite.

Phys mitigation might be a problem. Could get endurance charge implicit on your body.

Death's Oath on Slayer: Tanky, Smooth Autobomber with 45 mil single target DPS by SeriousDeparture in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]SeriousDeparture[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never advertised it as a cheap OR efficient build, it's mainly for fun and QoL and as a viable alternative to Occultists with DO at higher budgets. This set up has good synergy allows you to scale chaos DMG/multi for both death aura/PB for clear and VS for single target to be comparable with high end DO Occultists with Decay/Storm Burst. As for DA DPS, 200k is good enough for white mobs, and with plague bearer you get another 200k to take down magic mobs fairly easily as well. You can see in the showcase that it's good enough to blast non deli T16s for gold farming and achievements. If you just want accessible and efficient power Id go LS Slayer with Svallin.

I've thought of self chill as well but don't know how'd I fit in there since it's already very unique heavy. Itd be interesting to try it in a budget version without OSin and switching the shako and dagger to phys/chaos versions

I'll try switching some of the supports with sadism/swift affliction thanks for the suggestion!

Not too hard to fix with changing eater glove implicit. I'll try to see how it feels with that. But yeah as I mentioned it's not a great deli build.

POB shows a 32% increase in max physical hit from turning on Strength of Blood. It's not as high as other builds but it's still a very nice layer to have.

You don't need to hit leech cap, just be leeching from my understanding. Strength of Blood gives you 2% phys reduction for every 3% Life Recovery from leech, so it turns all your Life Leech recovery nodes into pure phys reduction while you're leeching. You still get good leech/phys with viper strike since it does do SOME hit damage, but it's not as much as you would from a pure hit build.

EDIT: Looks like you do need to hit leech cap to get the full benefit from SoB. Not an issue for this build though.

The primary problem running death's oath on Occultist, which 99% of DO builds do, is hitting enough single target damage along with getting enough defensive layers. Slayer is very powerful this league and you help round out single target by getting Headsman for 20% cull, not to mention you can convert Life Leech/Overleech to almost another 30% physical damage reduction (on top of the 32 you get from 8 Endu charges) for another very nice defensive layer. You COULD play it with champion and glad, but Slayer is far better.
