Thanks for your help!

Friend your items are fine, but you need the most important. The helmet with the enchant. atm my damage of VD is 45k in ho.

don't use chromes. Go to vorici bench, make it 2 socket, buy 2 green. Then alternate buying the 3 socket craft and the 2 socket craft until you get 3 green. The two green you originally crafted will always stay so you'll just need to hope that you luck into a green on the 3 socket craft. It'll cost you like 20 jewelers tops.

To the other guy - 3 green is needed for the culling strike alternative as recommended in the OP's guide.

Can you explain to me why an additional corpse is better than extra damage? Without the enchantment, we can cast 3 Volatiles per Frenzy and with the enchantment we can cast 4. In my view, it is an increase of 33% damage against 40% of the extra damage enchant. I'm in doubt about that and I'll be grateful if you explain.

Thanks again!

ty for this guide, very fun build!

so i have a queston: can i use essence drain in poet pen with gmp and unearth? or is a bad idea without dot dmg

1 extra corpse is 33% more damage, whereas the other enchant is only 40% increased damage.

Do actually make it more clear. There is a difference in PoE between "increased" damage and "more" damage. "more" acutally really means more damage. "increased" doesn´t mean you do xx% more damage. So it can happen that 40% increased damage is, eg. only 10% more damage. Depends on your other stats.

additive vs multiplicative brother, thats y ppl prefer more projectiles/inc aspd over inc dmg when its vailable

Ive got a head scratcher maybe you can help me with. I see you run to get Whispers of Doom, but looking at your gear i dont see where youre running a second curse (let alone why). After watching your a video i see you have Warlord's mark worked in. My question is how and is it massively important to run?
