Build of the Week: Iva's Vaal Ground Slam Build

I'd like to see that applied to Vaal Reave.

A majority of HC melee builds are Resolute Technique. It's just too difficult to invest in crit as melee and expect to survive. Melee builds can crit extremely hard and die to reflect. It's just safer to go Resolute and focus on survivability.

To me, It seems very un-hardcore to not take on a dangerous challenge. Isn't that what HC is all about?

Suit yourself, exile!

Playing high level maps with 6k life and Fortify and a lack of whoops-instant-reflect-death is still dangerous, so there's nothing un-hardcore about his statement. Dying instantly the moment a well-hidden or ultra fast moving reflect rare gets mixed into your AOE, or dying without time to respond when a surprising amount of shit hits the fan and you haven't designed your character around that possibility, do not equate to "challenge". There's a fine line between enjoying the risk of losing a character (thrill seeking), and enjoying regularly re-rolling because only slightly more than zero fucks are given about survival (masochism).

Really cool build ! Much more effective than the previous auto-caster which delivered none DPS and just effects.

I played a similar build during beta and it was great fun! Sadly I didn't manage to get a Hegemony's before wipe. Perhaps I will try it again the next challenge league.

Cool build for showoff...

Few things im worried:
a) Just wondering how this build kills end-game map bosses if you rely on a Vaal Skill.
b) Survivability... seems that in present condition of game - anything below 7k hp will get oneshot.


just my thoughts

I made a similar build which focused on the maximum possible AOE for both Vaal Ground Slam and Herald of Ice . Only thing is the game immediately crashed when I use Vaal Ground Slam on too many mobs in certain maps like Sea Witches or Fracture. Had to abandon it for now (but I still have all the gems and gear).
