[3.13 UPDATED] gr0bbs | Poison Blade Vortex | Budget Viable | Endgame 50Mil+ DPS | Video Guide
" First of all, I'm not a guide writer, and I'm not the end all be all for sure, but I'll try to answer what I can from my experiences. 1) I run kintsugi so couldn't comment to much, but you'll need significant resists on the chest if you want to run 2 rings. 2) It is really hard, I run only one. 3) PoB says 6.7% vs no implicit. 4) I don't run one, would really like to switch to one, 100+ life and 12% max life would give me an extra 100 life on top of my 5.5k. A little more damage, and that's all before you socket a jewel. That being said, that belt is 15-30ex depending on the day. 5) There is a 3.11 updated PoB by someone who isn't the OP of the thread back around 250ish pages on this thread? TL;DR cluster jewel isn't worth it from what I've tried. The damage is enough on this build to easily rush clear any map which just leaves bossing which needs survivability. This is a link to my PoB tree, which I could probably optimize a little more if I tried, but will depend on your exact gear choices so explore PoB and go from there. Wind dancer and kintsugi make an incredible difference. Also so does 5K+ life. So take the life nodes and skip the max DPS at the expense of survivability and you'll have a better time. Going to experiment with a mistwall in the off hand and see how that feels on bosses. Will be a very large damage loss, but also a big survivabilty gain. I saw another poster talking about Apep's Slumber and MoM. Haven't had time to dive into how much damage loss would occur to repath tree to MoM but could be very nice. Dunno if that's with a cloak of defiance or a skin of the lords and not repathing or what. Overall, I think w/o a shield the build has no problem in softcore taking on very difficult content, however you have to know the fights and you have to know how to move through packs of mobs and not stand around while they whack you waiting for their deaths from your poison. I'll post back after I've had a chance to explore higher end content with a weaponswap to a shield for the bosses. แก้ไขล่าสุดโดย battousaii#7009 เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2020 21:08:23

Doing some informal testing with apep's, I can't get the 3% max resist to hit w/ WE w/ unaffected by poison. Will screw around with Mistwall because if you can't get the 3% max resist, I really don't see the point in apeps. Not sure if they patched/nerfed it or something of I'm doing something wrong.

The extremely limiting testing I did tonight w/ a shield says 2 COTD corrupted cold points is probably going to be more survivable than a shield due to simply less time at risk because of the higher damage. Will try to test over the next couple of days any see if that holds true.

" are you using golden rule for the combo? |

Wait I shouldn't be using the PoB skill tree from the guide? Rather someone posted one around page 250 thats better?
Cluster jewels not worth it then? |

" If you're new to crafting, it's probably not a good idea to start crafting it yourself. It's pretty easy to craft if you know what to do and if you have a lot of seeds / augments / remove-augment-mods stored in your Horticrafting stations. You don't need to buy them 6-linked. If you find a cheap one with an open suffix. Then you can bench-craft "+18% quality" on it, so the chest has 38% quality. That way, you only need 600-1000 fusings on average to 6-link it yourself, unless you're very unlucky. 650 fusings = 1ex, so if you find a 6-link chest which is more than 2ex more expensive than an unlinked one, it's cheaper to 6-link yourself. Getting resists IS challenging. If you don't have a lot of currency to buy a top notch belt + two-toned boots with at least Triple T2 resists, i'd recommend to only wear one Circle of nostalgia. " Not that important. It's only the icing on the cake, nothing build-defining. " Stygians are always the more expensive ones, but they're not really needed. Another icing on the cake, compared to a normal belt with the same stats. " I'd wait until level 80 or 90 to start with cluster jewels tbh. Really good cluster jewels do cost a few ex, which you could spend on your other gear slots. You CAN craft them yourself, we talked about that a few pages back. " None. Since we got cluster jewels last league, regular jewels are pretty much a waste of talent points for us. " Empower 4 is not needed. The awakened gems WE need are pretty cheap, 50-60 chaos i think. Totally worth it, since Awakened level 1 gems are already more powerful than their counterpart on level 20. Enlighten 4 is needed, if you want to run all Auras (Malevolence, HoA, FaS and Skitterbots or Aspect-craft). " If you want to play this build, i'd recommend sticking to the original PoB. if the PoB on page 250 is the one without cluster jewels, i wouldn't recommend it. Whoever says cluster jewels aren't worth it, clearly didn't do the math... " You need a watcher's eye with "unaffected by poison" + golden rule + Apep's slumber to make it work. |

@HornedTerrorist
Thanks a ton for the reply and info, yeah I don't plan to craft the chest but do plan to buy one tomorrow whenever I'm on. I was planning on grabbing one with: +1 curses, Explode,max life, and a resist or possibly two. Hopefully that isn't too expense and I figured I could try to get some of the crit mods and such as well. I was just wondering what would you list other mods as priority too? Just trying to figure out which crit mods were best or even the one you have the power charge if thats much better? Also I will continue to follow the guide and the PoB, I had already adjusted my tree towards a cluster node at 70 but I guess I will fix that for now. I saw the guide only had two awakened gems, yet you and other players are running awakened void manipulation is that better? I will try to level an enlighten to 3 then vaal one to 4 or may just buy one if needed. Thanks a ton again, I mainly am just wondering how to go about grabbing my chest which is by far the most expensive piece. I will also look for a good belt hopefully soon. |

" I played around a bit and seems doable. I rolled T3 life and just did a quick follow up and got the 3 resists on it. Should I continue with this and replace the life with a T1 roll via harvest craft or scour it and try again to get T1 flat life? This is what it is now: You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing.

@inocent
Try to remove both resistance modifier on your body armor, that way you have two open suffixes and could try to use a crit-harvestcraft for spell-crit + power charge on crit. Also, switch out Sin's rebirth flask. You already get Unholy Might via cluster jewel @frost Main priorities for body armor are +curse. Explode is nice, it stacks with Asenaths. +Spell Crit is awesome too, and power charge is a decent boost too. Awakened Gems aren't a must have, but they are better. So yeah, also get the third awaken gem if it's cheap. Awakened Blasphemy doesn't hurt either, if you have the currency. |
