Your gear and tree look ok to me. If you could find a way to squeeze in Vaal Pact you'd double your leech and it would help a lot but it's a tradeoff since oof it would take 5 points to get it. Might be worth it though.

I would get a lvl21 cyclone to do more damage to kill faster first and see if that helps.

You need to replace your gem, you do not have fortify atm...

For everybody having some problems with survivability, reached 93 on HC, running t15 right now. One thing, self cast molten shell and vaal molten shell. it's really easy to get 4k shields on the normal one and 10k + on the vaal. Rare six linked armor with high life, one minus mana on skills ring and a unique axe it's all you need to get to tier 10, you can still push up to red maps but if you are on HC i sugest to at least get a Kaom's and move your links to your weapon.

Really good for a HC character, the DPS it's enough and the amount of survivability from not stop moving and the molten shell it's nice. The sword crit version it's also good, probably even better, but this is not a cheap build to get to endgame on HC and the sword version price it's even bigger, as starforge prices are insane and exquisite blades too (even bases for crafting)
But if anyone had any experience on crit/sword i would love to hear.

is there much of a DPS loss by not crafting a Vaal Axe? I mean a few chaos vs a few exalts is the difference in an 85 elder Vaal Axe vs any other 85 elder 2H Axe. Going by PoE Wiki a Void Axe, Karui Chopper, or Sundering Axe doesnt seem that much worse than the Vaal Axe and I save 2 exalts.

Are Swords about even compared to Axes? I can get a Exquisite Blade base and thats still an exalt less than a Vaal Axe although the crit implicit is wasted.

I'm currently crafting a weapon and could use some advice. I planned crafting a Vaal Axe before but after some PoB I noticed crit could be easily better even without changing any gear other than the weapon. So, now I wonder which would be the best weapon to craft. Vaal Axe or an Exquisite Blade? I don't think I wanna stack Accuracy so it's probably gonna have HCBE.

Also, I wanna try the Soul Tether combo and crazypearce's sword build seems to have a really nice pathing for that.

Considering that, would this be the ideal (realistic) craft?:
Exquisite Blade
Foritfy
Multimod
Flat Phys
IAS
Crit/Quality
HCBE

Or can the Vaal Axe be better than the sword with better gearing, due to it's higher DPS?

I have both options available, even though the sword needs a bit more love still.


Ofc thank you Ahfack for the build and thank you crazypearce for the insight on crit versions in this thread!

BOOM! Finally done...prob should have just finished this much earlier. Great guide by Aflack as well.

If DPS is good is there a point to doing the recommended "mapping" 6 link? I was going to just go single target setup, but why put impale if you already have on your totem?
I was already destroying T16 with Sinvictas on a 4 link, so I'm sure my damage is fine for mapping would just seem overkill.

I think it is a huge difference. An Elder Vaal axe will give you a 7-link cyclone.. When I finally made the move from a Unique axe to a crafted one my DPS jumped by almost triple. I havent even fully leveled the gems yet and have not even finished crafting my axe.

I crafted this today did i do well i slammed the lightning/fire res :)

the answer is soul tether and glorious vanity (corrupted soul). The downside of the corrupted soul keystone is mitigated by soul tether belt.
With corrupted soul keystone, you just stack life as much as possible and it scale ES as well, this give much higher combined eHP. Naturally Kaom become bis chest in this set up.

So i just spend all my currency and crafted this (will multimod it later when i get money). But i notice that other ppl have starting quality of 30, and now i learn about Perfect fossils, is there any other ways to improve "base quality" to 30 without redo everything, or i stuck with 38 quality (after multimode it)?
