[3.4] Zerphi Poet VD - Easiest Uber Elder build - Twinned kill - 20000+ life recovery per sec

Hi,

is there any reason to keep Immortal Call and Blood Rage on Level 1?

For IC it should make no difference but BR should be even better on Level 20 or not?

Regards,
Bushfeind

PS: And another question: Why do you choose the Quick Recovery nodes? Is the 0.8% life regenration worth? Despite of the unwanted mana regenration? How is the life reg computed with the regenration by mana spending? Or do you just want life reg independent from life reg by mana spending?

Hi,

been following this guide past few days and I got my first uber down.

I just wanted to know how you guys deal with movement speed as kaom's roots don't have built in increased movement speed?

without the quick silver flask, my movement speed is at 1%.

Also, I am working on upgrading my gears constantly. I am aware my glove is not optimal and I do have 7L glove but that glove is missing resistances I need.


Lastly, I hear people reaching APS near or above 4.00. I am by default 2.61 and with the buffs, reaching to 3.6. Is this due to the glove missing out attack speed? Any tips appreciated if I am missing out anything.

Thank you in advance.



I use culling instead of bodyswap for bossing.

This is the glove I would like to use but I cannot use if I were to use the Kaom's roots due to the resistance issue.

Koam's roots is only required for Elder/Shaper where you don't have to move around too much so MS isn't really a big deal. You can use any other boots you want for mapping.

Yes, you need atleast a 6 link with faster attacks to get higher APS. If you find hard capping resistances you can only cap fire/lightning resistances. Just get enough cold so you can cap using TOH. This way you can mostly use rings to cap resistances and get the missing bit on gloves/belt. But this needs full TOH uptime, if your flask management is weak it's not recommended.

Another easier way would be to get a belt with missing resistances and just 1 flask mod instead of 2.

Note about Incursion Flaskback league: Becase Zerphi's price is exptected to be very low, 2-5c at the start this build will be a cheap uber elder and an allaround boss/high tier map farmer (2-5 ex minimum, 3x Fevered Mind + 2x Poet's Pen based on last flashback league)

Small update:
Changed support gems:
Multistrike instead of Life gain on hit on Frenzy for more mana cost
Combustion instead of Culling strike on Unearth for the global fire resistance debuff
Elemental Focus instead of Controlled Destruction on VD for more damage

I'm having trouble with DPS. I also get one shot by Uber Elder. My goal is to get Uber Elder kills to complete my last challenge. I have about 10 ex to spare.

Any suggestions?

Looking at your pob, you have way too little life to be able to facetank uber elder completly, you need roughly 6700 life with lightning coil and toh to survive shaper slam which is most likely the mechanic you keep dying to.

You're also missing watcher's eye with atleast 1 of the desired mods.

To improve DPS get a VD Lab Enchant Helm. Damage gems offcourse should be max level.

For defense you should atleast have 6.5k HP to be on the safer side, with that much HP and considering you are using Lightning Coil and have TOH, Zerphi & DD flasks up, you should be able to tank everything including Shaper slams easy.

Your Belt and Helm provide little to no HP, so better to change them.

One flask mod on belt is more than enough rather than sacrificing more important mods like life/resis.

You don't need phys mitigation on helm with Lightning Coil. So get one with high hp/resis rolls if you can't find a decent VD enchant helm.


Once you manage all that then it all boils down to flask management.
