[3.4] Zerphi Poet VD - Easiest Uber Elder build - Twinned kill - 20000+ life recovery per sec

Just wanted to leave a quick video of my first shaper kill this league. No legacy gear (obviously), but probably above average...

Able to tank slams & balls!
Character is qwertz_the_ripper

can you up keep divination distillate to get that juicy iiq while mapping? also can you use ventors + iiq amulet on this for some mf:ing?

Yes.

Edit if you run a purity and not lightning coil you could even fit in goldwyrms

Yes.


Ty, time to start rerolling then :D
On Controlled Destruction VS Ele Focus;
I see you use the former in your PoB, even though Ele Focus seems to provide a greater hit damage. Is there any reason that I'm missing, on why you would use Controlled Destruction despite this (does the ignite affect the build?)
I really hate asking, but I'm having no luck searching for this. Could someone please direct me to a good post regarding cooldown recovery speed and poet's pen skipping? I don't understand what the CD recovery speed does or how to tell if I'm skipping casts.

I get a tiny increase with DPS with Ele Focus, but you miss out on ignite damage. You have 25% chance to ignite (and however often you crit). Both the balls and corpse explosions can ignite. Overall I suspect it gives you more damage. But I might be wrong

Today I killed my first Uber Elder, I would like to thank for the guide and leave the gear used in the conquest.


Okay, I had that one coming. But the main question of "I don't understand what the CD recovery speed does or how to tell if I'm skipping casts." is still in question.

Is it reducing the cooldown of bodyswap travel or cast time? Is it scaled by attacks per second with frenzy? How do you tell if it's skipping? Should blood rage and frenzy charges be calculated? Etc.

Ok let me try and explain...


Poets pens "trigger a socketed spell when you attack". However, they have an internal cooldown of 250ms per spell (similar to CoC, Mjolner, etc). That means you can trigger spells a maximum of 4 times per second (without any cooldown recovery).

So if you attack faster than 4 times per second you "skip" and fail to trigger the spell, even though you attack.

In reality, due to server delays, this will actually already start to happen around 3.75 APS. And yes that will be the attack speed including frenzy charges & blood rage.

If you stack cooldown recovery it essentially reduces the 250ms limit and allows you to trigger spells more frequent and you can increase your attack speed.

With 25% increased CD recovery the new cooldown would be 200ms or 5APS (again in reality a little lower due to server delays).

However, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Because the faster you attack, the faster you regen health (as you still spend mana). Damage is fine as it is.

How do you know you skip casts?
Just try it without body swap in your hideout. Get some frenzy charges with that unique flask. Then check if you trigger VD every time you attack with frenzy.
