Another question for those who have run with this build. How early did you notice the need for Eye of Chayula? I'm guessing it should be one of the first things to spend some currency on for that stun immunity.

Stun Immunity is crucial for this build. You can live with out it. But it is a HUGE Quality of Life improvement, and a must for end game contents (Shaper/Guardians).

Hi , i've been trying this build for the past 2 weeks, and i love it. I 've been able to 1shot bosses up to t15 until now , i didn't try a t16 yet. I was wondering if it could be worth to take ghost reaver and vaal pact following this way since i'm using a Doryani's invitation belt which grants 0.2 % fire damage leech . From fangs of the viper to entropy and coordination, i would sacrifice precision , sanctity and righteus decree on the left side. I would get 47% more dot, 6% increased cast speed instead of 9 and of course vaal pact, all of this sacrificing a 10% bonus es , lowering my mana pool a bit and a jewel slot on the top left + 8% elemntal damage.:

I'v ealready tried ghost reaver without vaal pact and i saw that the regen i get thx to the dot (i think) is quite good but with vaal pact it could be much better. Now sicne i'm quite new to the game i was wondering if the leech i was getting was all from the initial flameblast damage or the ignite too.

You can't leech from ignite at all. I used Vaal Pact, Ghost Reaver and Life Leech gem. It was succesful. I'm level 97 though, so I have spare passive points to use.

Wait i'm confused, u said it doesn't work het it was succesful?

Thank you for the build!

Im pretty new to this game but managed to kill The Shaper with it. Maps and leveling was pretty fun too :)

Going to try out this build soon. has anyone tried using Vaal Flameblast with this instead of regular flameblast? i just happen to have one lying around and was wondering if I could use it.

Thanks!

How strong is this build as a league starter? Wondering about reaching AND farming shaper\atziri relatively early.
Would Atziri be an issue because she cannot be ignited? Hmmm well maybe Shaper \ Breachstone farming would be enough, I don't know. Is this build strong\good enough for that, early league Chayula\Shaper then?


Thanks in advance.

The life leech doesn't work on ignite damage. It does work on initial blast.

Very strong. You're leveling with Firestorm so transition to Flameblast is quite seamless (you pick fire damage nodes for both). Passive points from quests are enough to revamp the passive tree when you switch to CI.

All gear is quite cheap since you won't need any chase uniques. Doryani's is not needed at all, rare wand is enough. Also Doryani's price will drop in few weeks anyway after the league starts.

You can kill shaper with 5-link so build is very budget friendly. But if you so choose, you can upgrade to high ES 6-link when you get the currency.

Thanks for your reply.

Are there any other builds that can reach + farm Shaper\Chayula\Breachstones as early+cheaply as this build? (Or at least similar in how early\cheap)

I'm sure there are. But unfortunately I'm not familiar with plethora of poe builds. This is the second league I play and first where I was moderately successful. So I'm very familiar with only this build.

What I can say though, is that HOWA will be very expensive since it's so popular and effective. Unfortunately its equipment overlaps a bit with ours. I also want high ES high int stuff, since int gives %ES. But HOWA gets offensive and defensive stats from int, hence all those equipment are super expensive in Legacy league. Also I think now is the last chance to play broken double dipping poison builds, so people are even more inclined to play HOWA than before. Although we too take advantage of ignite double dipping.
