Awakened spell cascade for volatile dead

...

Hmm ok.

Assuming 9 VDs and 15 Wither stacks, you´d be dealing 1.5M pinnacle boss dps...


You are lacking a ton of stuff and just got the basics going.
For instance: You dont have a Shaper/Elder ring, which meand you dont get the 96% inc dmg bonus for having an Elder ring. 10% inc dmg from the Harvest crafts on each Dagger, you also cant Unnerve for 10% more spell dmg and you didnt allocate Pain Attunement on your tree for 30% more spell dmg.

That alone is roughly 120% inc and 40% more dmg missing.

You are also missing the +2 gem lvl corruption on your chest incl the additional 45% inc dmg corruption. Assuming some 20% more dmg per gem lvl, thats another 40% more dmg and 45% inc dmg missing.


Now if you had 20 VDs, Pain Attunement and roughly 120% inc dmg from Harvest implicits on the dagger and an Shaper/Elder ring - ignoring the chests double corruption as well as unnerve - you´d be dealing 4.7M pinnacle dps. 5M with Atziris up.
Thats still some 8M short of the original PoB and the missing 2 gem lvls plus Unnerve wouldnt explain that.
There has to be more, like missing Shaper items to trigger the chestpiece and stuff like that.

Not sure what causes the disparity but you are missing so much stuff, you are nowhere near the original PoB just yet.
However, if you like the playstyle then stick to it. 5M pinnacle dps is enough to beat the entire game except uber bosses. But that means you have to meet the min criteria listed above to achieve 5M pinnacle dps.
Until then the build isnt going to feel good at all except for general mapping.

thanks for checking. i like the playstyle but the build is too complicated for me. i'm used to playing simple builds like cold dot or RF etc

i tried pain attunement but was dying all the time. i had less than 2k life and it was rough so i specced out of it

i looked but couldnt find a chest piece with +2 aoe that also had 5% elemental as chaos. only 3-4%

i could try the other things but i doubt it would make too much difference. seems like every single thing has to be right

Well thats what you get for not checking the build properly beforehand ;)

Just as tip for your next build: Strip all the gear in the PoB and replace it with the most basic gear you are guaranteed to get. If the dmg and survivability dont meet your min expectations, dont play that build until you got all the proper gear or not at all.


Better luck next time

i'm done with the league anyway just wanted something new to do for the last month. i have a cold dot elementalist that can do everything except ubers

BTw even with all the stuff i'm missing is it normal for single target to be so bad that i cant even kill normal map bosses in less than 1 minute? after spending around 10 divs, i should be able to kill those at least nevermind anything harder

I mean you would have 1.5M pinnacle dps with 15 wither stacks, which you didnt have to begin with and thats only if you stay close enough to apply despair all the time.

The Wither stacks alone usually contribute about half the dmg, so without them you were dealing some 7-800k pinnacle dps and without despair prolly 500k or less.

Thats why it took you so long to kill bosses and there are plenty builds that simply require a 6l setup to achieve that or perform way better.


Like I said: VD got nerfed quite hard was capable of "1 shotting" pinnacle bosses at some point. It wasnt quite a 1shot, you´d cast until you got 100+ VDs floating around (now capped at 60), then trigger the fight and those 100 VDs would just slap the boss out of existence.

but the damage still feels the same with the whiter stacks..now i got that new jewel. bosses take the same time to die. i honestly didnt notice a difference at all after changing timeless jewels. thats why i'm wondering if there is something else going on

Not that I know off.


Might wanna ask the build creator. This is pretty much all I can do.
Havent played VD in years and there might be changes or interactions Im simply not aware off.

hmm ok. i'll just run the maps and skip the bosses lol. thanks for the help

i think i figured out what the problem was. i didnt have enough mana to keep spamming the skill for a long time so not enough balls were casting. i turned off one of my auras and equipped a mana flask and now the single target is a lot better

edit- also linked clarity with arrogance so now i always have mana
