[3.26 U/C] ðŸ’ĨðŸ’Ŧ The Blade Blast Unloader ðŸ—ĄïļðŸ”ŠðŸ”Ŧ - Screenwide 30m-55m Pinnacle DPS?

Hello fellow unloaders,


BBoU has always had a soft spot for me since it first came out.
Noticing prices were cheap I wanted to try the abyss version of the build, abusing all the new Merc techs:

Generating spirit charges/sec with Hale Negator tech,

Doryani tech, lightning damage into the stratosphere,

Coiling whisper tech, getting insane attack and cast speed makes mapping and bossing a breeze. One arcanist brand with max soul stacks generates 10 BVs as fast as I can cast BBoU.


2Soc Lightpoacher, 3Soc Shroud and a decent Darkness Enthroned plus a ton of jewel sockets on the tree carried my damage. To maintain spirit charges I went CI, archmage + lifetap in helm to force Spirit burst to cost life - makes it impossible to cast with CI


Convert all physical to lightning with phys to lightning, 40% on the tree and 10% on ring/gloves.


The biggest issue is gem socket pressure - had to craft a 3L wand although with recombs the craft was quite cheap, I landed it on second try with total cost of ~12d.


Next issue is staying alive as we are basically melee, so I leaned heavily into %ES on block and block clusters. ES overleech and instant leech kept me topped up when a hit goes through.

I haven't added any Doryani -lightning res into the pob, but it'll quadruple the damage depending on your setup.


Another cute interaction, you can give your Merc a Squirming terror ring to spawn worms - this allows you to always have on kill effects/leech/spirit charges.
Just a note if you are using doryanis, lightning exposure doesn't do anything for you because it lowers lightning res but it will be fixed by doryanis.
