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

I was taking a closer look at the tree in general when resetting for 4.3 and noticed that there's an alternate route you can take (near Elemental Overload) for 10str instead of 10int. (For that extra, uh, 17hp.) Also, for a 2pt investment on the right side, you can reroute for a 35%evasion/20%ES/5%life/8%eleres, by Coldhearted Calculation. Considering that the tree in the original post has a 2pt endpoint for 16%evasion/8%life, I think it's a fair trade.

Beyond that, what are some interesting places to spend your last few points? (And if you need to remove a few nodes, your weakest endpoints are probably 5-6%life or 8%evade/4%life.) I'm ignoring the enormous pile of 10-12% increased damage nodes, and a handful of small +life nodes that may or may not be still open, for this.

Heart of Flame takes 6pts and is, point for point, the largest DPS boost I can find. You might also be able to squeeze in Celestial Judgement for 5pts which is the next best.

Influence is a 5pt investment for +23%aura (with CP jewel), enough for an extra 1%maxres if you use L23 Purities. (And -4%reservation, for what little it'll get you.) Alternatively, you can grab Sovereignty+Charisma for 7pts and get +25%aura/-16%reservation, which only requires L20 Purities. (And I guess you can Empower Herald of Ash with the lower reservation?)

There's a few different places for IMS: Fangs of the Viper is 1pt off my reroute for 5%IMS (and something like .3%DPS). Other nodes are probably better off taking Kraityn for the equivalent of 2pts.

Unnatural Calm is an expensive 5pt investment for +1%maxLightning. (Somewhat related, Lightning Walker for 1pt if you need 15%lRes, courtesy of Lightning Coil.)

Primal Spirit for 2pt gives +20%flaskcharges.

Method to the Madness, at the max investment of 4pts, for up to 24%chaosRes.

Jewel Socket and 12% increased damage (or 8% mana, or 10str/20dex) for 4pts.

hello everyone! I have been playing that build in incursion and crushing content with it. however I have been playing it with... indigon. why isnt it mentionned anywhere? no mana depletion pb, huge dmg bonus, synergic as fuck with everything we play. you swap in the fevered mind for grand spectrum, add in a warlord curse on hit ring and lets go? Is it just ditched away because op did not mention it or did people try it and came back to a regular version? i'm all geared up for the build now gonna reroll anytime soon.

another thread and creator had indigon-based variant of the build

So by level 87 with no Uber Lab because I forgot about it.

Uber Elder, Vaal Temple, Uber Atziri, and Shaper are down.

Also this build is ridiculous for traversing the darkness for treasure.

Nice build, Did you get inspired by this video?

I just throwed few chaos into belt and got sth likt this

Is it worth keeping? (can master craft life)

Hey all,

Quick question on the build.

I have just got to level 77 odd using MF gear but I am concerned that with Blood Rage and Frenzy Charges, having any more that a level two Faster Attacks takes you over the 4 aps cap. This would apparently make the build worse as you start skipping casts.

Does this mean that, without CDR gear, 'supported by faster attacks' gloves should be avoided? Or am I missing something?

Due to not living in a perfect world, the breakpoint is actually a bit lower: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/8z83tk/poets_pen_aps_breakpoints/ (Depending on my connection, settings, etc. my ideal is either 3.76 or 3.79.)

It's a bit of a balancing act; if you need the regen, you're better off with attacking as fast as possible, since Zerphi's effect kicks in each time. If you want the DPS, you'll want to be right under the breakpoint, so you'll want to lower your APS. Personally, my solution in Standard was to run Omeyocan and Power Siphon, so my APS never changes.

So tested

with 3 Fevered Mind on T14 Elder, almost 6k hp, except the first instant death, it seem viable.

I just did not wait until 4s of Zerphi's effect and died.


May be lv100 char with extra jewel socket for faster hp recovery (4 Fevered Mind may be) and more hp, such 60% phys conversion to lightning and cold damage received from non-legacy gear, is tanky enough for almost all content except ele reflect.

killed shaper a few times. great build. had to change it slightly, but very good.

Hi there, in the budget version video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orbRQw2eXwg

A very stupid question: HOW DO YOU USE A POWER SIPHON SKILL WITH UNEARTH TOGETHER IN ONE SHOOT, MOUSE MACRO?

Thank you.
