Any changes other then the rotp + pof that would make this HC viable?
Hard to say as I haven't yet tried current setup in t13+ maps.

If anything I actually think that RF version would make it less tanky.

RF loses spell block because of no Rathpoith.

When I ran it Blasphemy didn't exist.
Now I run two curses on Blasphemy.

You can't do that with RF, at least to my knowledge.

Plus with RF you can't run more map mods than my current version.

Currently in the process of getting a few more levels, after that more videos will be uploaded with boss kills.

hi

I'm making similer build. (CI-ES version)

gear and gems

current Lv94 tree and jewel
tree
Jewel
*3
*3~5
*0~3
*0~1
Ascendancy = Occultist

Void Beacon : -20% chaos res =~ 44% more poison damage (double dip)
Wicked Ward : +100ES
Vile Bastion(defensive) : 0.5% ES regen per sec for each enemy killed recently
or
Profane Bloom(offensive) : enemy you curse take 10% increased damage =~ 21% more damage
(I currently testing Vile Bastion. I think DPS is enough high without Profane Bloom.)
stats

-9500ES
-IIR+120% (40%IIQ with culling)
-VMS duration = 26sec~ easy to keep up.
-3m~10m dps with full poison stack (VMS tooltip = 30k~100k)
-T14 map boss in few secs (haven't tested T15)
-Use Blashpemy-PoachersMark for Frenzy charge and Flask charge
-Use 3 skills.
VMS : main skill
Firestorm : backup
Incinerate : activate VMS and Cull with IIR/IIQ


CWDT - Blade vortex - (Increased critical) - (increased duration)

is very good with VMS build. (for auto Elemental overload)



I hope this will be of some help.
Thank you.

I noticed you don't have the Topaz flask - are you running around with +50% more damage taken from being shocked by Vinktar?

I'll add the link to your version to the main page.

CwDT BV to proc Overload is a nice idea.

I am personally not a fan of Conc on VMS, it reduces clearspeed from my tests, and bosses die fast enough as is. Unfortunately can't use Elemental focus like you, since I will lose shock / burn / chill effects from Conflux.

The "Quicksilver flask of Grounding" removes the Shock.
(i always use 5 flasks at the same time.)

i think so too. Conc's Less AoE is the big downside.
but its damage boost is also big. (59% more * double dip =~ 153% more poison damage)

some more info about my build

-Enlighten? Reserv?
I use Lv4 Enlighten and 1 reserv node on skilltree to Avoid Low-Mana.
(Infernal mantle has "100% increased spell damage taken while low mana")
Just use "Essence Worm Unset Ring" is cheaper way.
(put Discipline on Essence worm. dont need enlighten and the reserv node)

-Boots enchant?
The boots enchant "1.5% life & mana regen if u were hit recently" is very good.
It gives decent mana regen and a few life regen every time.
(my boots is 1.5% regen. but its displayed "2%" at my last post. may be bug.)

-Flameblast?
I use Incinerate and Firestorm becaouse,
-Firestorm is safer than Flameblast. easy to hit.
-I want to use "Incinerate - Culling strike - IIQ - Faster casting/IIR" for MF.
But Flameblast is also OK.
Gem and link will be like
Firestorm 4L ->"Flameblast - Concentrated - Void manip - Faster casting"
Incinerate 4L ->"Spell totem - Wither - Faster Casting - increased duration"

-about VMS 6L
VMS - Concentrated effect - Void manipulation - Increased duration
- Increased Area of effect (5L)
- Elemental Focus (6L)

for more dps,
Increased duration -> Empower
Increased AoE -> Controlled destruction
(use atziri's reign jewels to keep VMS duration.)

fore more AoE,
Concentrated effect -> Controlled destruction.

How do you generate frenzy charges?

edit: never mind, just read blood dance boots

Well, there are other ways, but I don't find them as good.

Blood Rage - its leech is useless, and you get high degen on ES, so you will be out of ES all the time, which kinda makes it pointless.

Replacing Warlords with Poachers - this makes linking LL to Flameblast / VMS mandatory, which means less dmg. And you lose end charges. Replacing Enfeeble I don't consider an option since this decreases survivability more than anything else.

Blood Dance reduces the damage from charges, but doesn't gimp you nearly as much as two previous options.

Great build, having a blast playing it!

What's your flask setup? I read you use Rumi, Basalt and Atiziri's promise, but what about the other two? Just two normal life flask?

Rumi + Promise. Haven't found a single Basalt yet, they are super rare or something.
Haven't bothered to buy one yet, but so far I haven't had issues with phys dmg.

2 Seething life flasks - anifreeze+staunching.
3rd one of your choice, Basalt or else. Of Warding.
