Hi friends,

SonsOfKorhal has graced us with some gameplay footage on his very high DPS (lower def) variant: https://youtu.be/TSYJaALKWtA

In the video he is running 80% delirious T16 maps.

severely min-maxed build for anyone curious. tree pathing was also optimised for ES/hp/dps/resistances, v specific to my item balancing. i can definitely squeeze in more dps if i directly sacrificed EHP/defenses.

currently 59.2k EHP, 4750 HP, 22.9k EV, 21.8k AR, 75% all res, 6% chaos res. mainly died to stupid when looting, or when meteors fall from sky. hardly any mob deaths.

41.1m combined dps (against guardian/pinnacle boss)

15.5m creeping frost
14.8m vortex
5.6m vaal cold snap
4.5m cold snap
0.65m volatile anomaly

compared to guide video,
shield was upgraded (10d)
amulet was upgraded (6d)
watcher's eye was upgraded (7d)
chest upgraded (20d)
boots changed (3d, 1% dps increase, but big increase in health + res + QOL due to onslaught)
flask changed (11d, but not "dps" increase)



i cannot find any other shield/wep in the market with a tree that would be an improvement. given that the items were bought at extremely good values, it's also hard to justify dropping 20-80d just for a single upgrade.

Your POB does not have Vaal Cold Snap but I assume you swapped it out by mistake.

The immediate and cheap upgrade is to buy lvl 21 Vortex, Creeping Frost and Vaal Cold Snap. Your DoT DPS will immediately go up by ~14%.

The next big upgrade should be a chest that provides you +4 to vortex and creeping frost.

Other considerations:
1. 2 divines worth of 5 ways should get you to level 97.
2. I recommend using a quartz flask instead of a silver flask if you are facing issues walking pass mobs.
3. Get 20% quality on your life flask to recover more life.
4. You can get a legacy of fury with a useful corruption implicit (e.g. 6% maximum life)
5. Get 20% quality on these gems: Defiance Banner, Divine Blessing, Flame Dash, Elemental Weakness, Awakened Ele Focus, Awakened, Swift Affliction, Awakened Controlled Destruction.

Yup, this one has VCS. I saw that you have upgraded your gems to lvl 21 and you are lvl 97 now.

The next big upgrade will be a chest that upgrades the gem levels of your vortex and creeping frost gems.

You will also get a boost to your DPS when your awakened elemental focus gem hits lvl 5 as it will provide +1 to the gem levels of vortex and creeping frost.

thanks for all the advice, i got from 1m to 5m dot. btw what trees should i go for weapon and shield
This is such a nice build man. What would you do first, 5-way carry? Or go for the Skin of the Lords? I'm thinking more levels.

read this post:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3362183/page/12#p24960702

these are my weapon/shield



for shield, i think arcane sanctuary is highest dps. others will include what i have, just increased cold damage. of course, any other defensive modifiers will be welcome.

for wands/weapon, just go for what i have in the post.

i also discuss on keystones on crucible trees here:

personal preference is levels. because there are many options for chests, if you want more ehp - skin of the lords, if you want more dps, +1 or +1/+2 or +2/+2 chests (your mileage also differs between rare or uniques). these are subject to liquidity and availability and what content you plan to run.

my previous chests:

but now am using a +1 dialla's

Thanks :)

If you are below lvl 97, probably 5-ways.

The price of 5-ways will generally increase over the course of the league, while SOTL will probably dip or remain the same.
