Vaal Spark Boss Killer In High Maps

Lightning warp should fix the trapped in a cage with the boss issue. I also suspect the synergies between those two skills will still apply in high maps.

Lightning warp is a good idea to fix that problem. However, it is still very risky to get in such close range with a boss on a map with hard mods. You have to be right on top of the boss for a few seconds in order to get that combo off which is more than enough to die. This is why I like the idea of trap.

I used it all through ambush on this setup



Well... I had been using fork instead of echo until echo came out anyway.

It's an excellent boss killer. Under the right conditions it would one-shot double shrine piety, like if I had them both in a corner. That vaal GH setup would be insane for the same reason.

That's awesome! Just the kind of explanation I was looking for. Thank you.

If your using arc why even bother with using a Vaal damage gem with a 4 link,

Vaal haste + Incresed duration. All you need , use it before it's nurfed.

I'm using Spark, swapping into a 4L (Echo, LMP, penetration) and if you manoeuvre the boss in the right spot (near walls, alcoves and whatnot) it will 1-shot or almost 1-shot map bosses up to 74 maps (only reason I say 74 is that's how far I've gotten in maps so far). Thinking of buying a cheap 5-6 link (add GMP/added chaos or w/e) white, swapping to that and sticking the gem in there for boss fights, but the time taken is too long - they'd be dead from my arc, flame totem and 4 link spark by then anyway!

Vaal Glacial Hammer - Inc Duration

Vaal Spark - Fork - Light Pen - Whatever the fuck you want

You're welcome.

i'm currently trying out that setup but the combo doesn't seem to work, sparks are going through the wall of the VGH... is it a hotfix they made to nerf the combo or is it a bug ?

Why use Vaal Spark with GMP? Considering other similiar skills wouldn't it just shoot 154 sparks? Fork sounds like a much much much better idea.
