[2.3] "Vulcan's Exemplar" Crit Dual Strike Slayer with Bino/Catalyst by fiqst

@stambo

A Bino drop and now a Hope drop. RNG is rocking! Grats mate
Btw, you're killing atziri with a 5L, that's pretty incredible.



@VaporsIsland

Incredible gear!

For those who don't know, Horror Skewer is the absolute number one crit dagger in this game. It is crafted by AXN and the only platinum kris with 6xT1 mods.

Dragon Hunger, the dagger I use, is #2. It was also crafted by AXN.

400k @ lvl 78

I get:
363k @ lvl 92

EPIC.

Flasks I use:


VaporsIsland, have you thought about adapting the Eva/Acro tree?

25-35% evasion
46% dodge
30% spell dodge

So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.

Yeah I think I will respec. I die too often due to stun lock and projectile damage. Even with cost of damage it wouldn't hurt that bad. 1-hiting everything in game is kind of boring. Same as dying inside a big pack of roha or these exploding turkeys (forgot their name)
Im trying right now to remove the light coil because the -60% lightning is pretty huge atm...i can barely cap light resist from rings and if i can this would cost aloot..also killing atziri with 5link isnt such a big deal :P

Just passing by for an update: I've respecced to my 5k life approach. The other tree was very powerful dps wise, but lacked Stun protection and HP room to handle big hits. This one is working in a very comfortable pace. This is my current tree at 89.

I've quality-reciped 3 of my lvl 20 attack support gems - re-leveling it has being fun, but now my dps reports won't be really useful for a while.

I've tried to parse the tree but got different results between poebuilder and the offline Passive skill tree planer, so not sure which one to use for that.

This is what offline builder got me (totals), but has less crit/dmg then poebuilder one:
Spoiler

+103 to Strength
+343 to Dexterity
+54 to Intelligence

199% increased maximum Life
2% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Life

275% Crit Chance
55% Crit Multiplier

64% increased Attack Speed
62% Accuracy

253% Physical Damage
20% Elemental Damage

219% Evasion
56% increased Armour
6% Block
40% dodge
30% Spell dodge
30% Chance to Avoid being Stunned
15% increased Stun Recovery
Doubles chance to Evade Projectile Attacks
Ignore all Movement Penalties from Armour

8% chance to Avoid Elemental Status Ailments
+10% to all Elemental Resistances

20% increased Life Recovery from Flasks
20% increased Flask Recovery Speed
+5 Life gained on Kill
9% increased Movement Speed

PoEBuilder is the most up-to-date
I normally use this website for the easy cut/paste layout:
PathofPoE
But it's not completely updated.


Your version has got to be the HC variant. I'm looking forward to your results.



Side note,

Added a new vid:

Advanced Spec Crematorium

I'll be making more Bino's vids now.

BTW, going eva/acro has a little advantage that i forgot about:





+increased duration = 10.44 seconds of capped dodge
So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.
Cool find!! Awesome video as well. Crematorium boss can be a Pain!

Here is the parsed results from the 5k tree I'm using:

Spoiler
Health

201% increased maximum Life
44 to maximum Life
5 Life gained on Kill
2% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Life
2% of Life Regenerated per Second

Mitigation

154% inc Evasion Rating
60% inc Armour
10% to all Elemental Resistances
40% dodge / 30% spell dodge
6% Block

Damage

275% Crit Chance / 55% Crit Multi
236% phys dmg / 20% ele dmg
64% Attack Speed
62% Accuracy

Other

320 to Dexterity
80 to Strength
40 to Intelligence

20% increased Flask Recovery Speed
20% increased Life Recovery from Flasks

9% increased Movement Speed

30% Chance to Avoid being Stunned
15% increased Stun Recovery
12% reduced Mana Reserved
12% increased Radius of Auras



Although I'm not playing HC, you are right: this could be the HC version of the build. It has a nice tanky feeling to it (sacrificing 20% dps approximately), keeping all the essential Vulcan's gameplay features.

Nothing, its just me, i had forgotten about the skill totally and haven't used for for weeks.

Why is a higher crit dagger better than an Ambusher? The DPS difference seems rather high because those Ambushers reach really high numbers.

I'll be gathering gear over the next few days. What mods should I look for on rares outside of life and resists? Life/mana leech, Weapon Elemental Damage, Attack Speed or other things?

The tree you provided is only 7 points away from Adder's Touch. Is it not that good after the nerfs or is it just to save those points by using the gloves?

Is it possible to use Increased AoE instead of Buring Damage in the Catalyst for more Aoe clearing, or would you not get enough damage to kill the thrash mobs?

Hello, really sweet guide! I'm going to buy a Bino's I think and try this out. What would you suggest taking out if I only have a 5L? I was thinking about removing added fire? I believe I need P2L for the possibility of making HoT work. Also, Resists might be really hard for me if I use snakebites, would you advise going to adder's touch? Would really open up some room for me gear-wise maxing out my resists. I had a 'Glaciator' before patch nerfed it to the ground, so I can literally just switch his weapons! As long as going Adder's Touch doesn't gimp the build, I don't think it will.

Thanks again! Looking forward to your response. I can post the current gear I have if that helps :)
