Incinerate/Vaal Molten Shell - 11K ES

This build is based on the work of ogrec
"


It is more defensive. Have less damage in normal situations (ie when it is not important). White monsters die with 2 hits. Rare, with a little more. However, in situations of risk, they get immense defense, immense damage and near immortality for 25 seconds.
If you do not kill the Boss in this period, you need to have the ability to finish the job. Normally the Boss kill yourself, even if you do nothing.

• Resistance: fire (75%) Lightning (76%) Cold (75%) Chaos (100%)

Against:
• Can't do blood magic maps.

Equipment:
Spoiler

Initial:
Level up with flame totem or Ice nova.
Incinerate is a late game skill

Middle game:

So, get any piece of chest with 4 link and:

• Incinerator (Blue) + Life leech (RED) + Spell Echo (BLUE) + LMP (GREE)
• Vaal Molten Shell (RED) + Increased duration (RED) + Life Leech (RED) + Spell Echo (BLUE)
• CWDT + Immortal Call + Tempest Shield + Warlord's Markl
• Clarity + Discipline
• Whirling Blades + Fast Attack + Fortify
• Fame Totem + Fast cast + Fast Projectile

Have some chaos? Buy jewel. They will serve you very well.

Use "Energy from within to transform life in energy. You will use one Right-up scion and the other Down left scion.


Have 1 exalt? Time to play!

Needed to transform 75% of its damage in Chaos. You are 75% imune to reflect.
Have more chaos?
Buy:

Needed to transform 25% of its damage in Chaos
Cost: 4L 1 chaos
5L 1 ex (i strongly suggest you to make it 5L, will be cheap)
Don't need corrupt one!
I will change my chest for this one:

More ES. If my mana goes down, no more problems.


Have more exalteds?

Necessary to auto-explode Vaal Molten Shell. Its mandatory to use Molten Shell as active skill. Without it, Vaal Molten Shel is a very good defensive skill. You don't need it. Vaal Molten shell is a good defensive tool. But with it, VMS becomes a Offensive skill.
Cost: 7 ex


Necessary to increase the power of your Elighten and reduce the mana reserved. Could be alpha Wolf? No, because we need +1 level to elighten gem! And this helmet is EV/ES, and we need a lot of ES.
Cost: 1ex


The +2 level of vaal molten shell is fantastic. More 20% damage!
Cost: 10c

Buy i drop it to have more ES and i use:

Cost: 40c



You don't need yey of chayula. So you can use a large ES amulet, with damage, mana, cast speed, etc.
Cost: 1 ex



You DON'T needed to end Stun. Droped!
Cost: 1 ex


More damage and Str
Cost: 1 ex

Flasks:

Your life leech, freeze saver, bleed saver, block/armor


Need to be AR/ES for socketed collors
Cost: 20 chaos


Craft yourself your rings !!!
The better is you have elreon ring with Slot. So you could use Vaal Haste too.


With a Huuuuuge ES
Cost: this one cost me 2 chaos... but you probably pay 2 ex.

Map 71. With MF itens. So, low ES, without stun free. I'm leveling some gems. So low damage too.
With my leveling gear and my 21/20 gems, could better. :-)

Map 76 - Pieta - 6 seconds DOWN!


Crating process:
Spoiler

Lets play with craft.
Buy a ultra large E.S. for you (prefix)
Suffix is not important (normally good prefix come with bad suffix).

Now, use Haku lvl 8 craft.
Then Scouring it.
Then use Elreon lvl 8 craft.
Now craft 2 res.

You have 2 res large ES chest!

AFTER SCOURING

Okay so if I don't have majority of these items, should i not bother trying this build?
You can do this build.

But your damage will be FIRE. So, you will have reflect elemental problems.

If you choose not use CHAOS DAMAGE you could add FIRE PENETRATION with incinerator for more damage (remove iron will).


To do this build you only need Infernal mantle (1 fusi most cheap) + 4 socket it + 4 Link ti
Plus the dagger (it is expensive).

One guy is follow this build on warbands.
I suggest him use spring wand and after cybil paw while lvling
I did a similar build (close trees), but not CI, life/es hybrid instead. 95% life, 200% energy shield. Didn't need unwavering stance since I had 3k life, and I took the stun avoidance nodes. Managed to do uber, so stun avoidance is fine. IMO infernal mantle is just bad compared to a 800 ES armor. In total I had 3k life and 6.5k ES (with scold's). I think with CI you reach higher overall EHP thanks to not needing chaos res on gear. Also I'm thinking iron will is a weak link in your 6L.

Overall you should just clarify that this is a VMS build that needs scolds. Your post talking about being weak and then strong makes sense to me, but might be confusing to new players.

Could post your Skill tree, please?

I think about remove C.I.
My rings don't have any resistance. So i can get chaos res from it.

Some times i change Iron will to Empower. But i have 236 str. So iron will give me increased 47% spell dmg. It loose for little to empowerer lvl 3. Withou mana multiplier.
So, low mana regen: iron will.

My tree/items/videos are here.

You could replace iron will with faster projectiles or culling strike. I personally really like faster proj. But I guess it's not bad if you have 240 strength.
