[3.4] Zerphi Poet VD - Easiest Uber Elder build - Twinned kill - 20000+ life recovery per sec

In the video, his mana is always at 2/500 (or whatever the upper number was). I believe I read in the guide that is because of MOM + BR + RF? Could you explain how this works?

In your post you mentioned using RF on life, which kind of threw me off as well.

Those are really my big confusions at the moment. How the MOM/RF/BR + Mana + Health interactions work. It is clear now that having to manage mana to keep Zerphi up is not an issue (thank god!).

Zerphi's turns itself off when your mana is full, so you need to keep it down; there's basically three major ways to do so: MoM+BR, RF, Omeyocan, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

MoM+BR uses the least mana, gives IAS/Frenzy charges, and has a duration. In my opinion, the first two are bad, the third is good. With my setup, I get more mana back than I spend when my flasks are up, so I have to be careful about that, the increased IAS pushes me over the breakpoint so my DPS takes a nosedive, and duration is handy with bosses since it can trigger your pantheon. (An indirect detriment is that this also requires MoM... may as well reallocate the passive point elsewhere if you don't run BR.) If you build with the issues in mind, it should work out as the best option though.

RF has no duration, a comparatively massive mana/life degen, and is a DPS buff. No duration means that you're not triggering your +recovery in your pantheon, but its management is also easier since it's consistent (just keep Zerphi's on and attack every few steps). You'll never have a mana issue here, but you're also chopping off something like 1k/sec healing. Off of memory, it's also like a 25% DPS buff to VD, plus whatever damage RF is doing directly. (That RF is draining your life is a BAD thing that you have to work around.)

Omeyocan will drain all your mana, gives you +lightningres which is good if you're running Lightning Coil, +30%MS never hurts, and you'll get extra sockets over Kaom's Roots. The downside... is that Kaom's Roots are practically a requirement for Elder and you won't trigger your pantheon. Straight up mapping though? Sure; why not.

I personally use RF; I'm still working out exactly what changes I'd have to make to optimize Omeyocan and if it's worth the hassle.

What points did you take in your PF ascendancy and in which order?

LOve the build :D

Hi,

I am currently running your build in Delves, I have all the desired gear I am just curious as to how you get your res up to 97%. I have all the flask nodes, and jewels. when fully flasked up I'm at 81,91,81. Any idea's what I may be doing wrong? Cheers.

Solid 6-day mark for this build. It's been totally destroying delves, and I just knocked out uber elder a couple hours ago with a still heavily unpotimized build. Looking forward to going deep in delve and headhunting my way through maps once I can afford one. Glad I got to enjoy the brokenness before it inevitably gets nerfed into the ground.
edit:

snagged this today, super excited, jewel is nuts.

This version isn't made to hit 97%; you might want to try the one discussed on https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2183309 which, at a glance, trades a fair chunk of DPS in favor of survivability.

If you want some low hanging fruit for swaps though, you can get an easy 4% off of Purity of (whatever) and 9% from an appropriate elemental flask. Handy for, say, Phoenix.

Did anyone gear his Zerphi recently and can share the cost of it? Im farming curreny atm while mfing and im curious how much Exalts i need in order to switch.

got another one from red T11 elder


since 3.4 it just need to watch mana level more, as zero mana > basic attack > no mana use > no heal

I used 4 Fevered Mind so it start to have problem when one of the mana flask is off, may be mana consumed is larger than mana recovered?

how many hp you had? Is that better to drop Lightning Coil for Koam in softcore league, as may hp 5k something can't tank the oneshot and heal back in uber elder and uber Atziri.

And i had Koam for mapping and uber lab, much more solid survivability
