[3.4] The Devourer of Souls - A Soulthirst Build

We are using the Unique Belt Soulthirst

for the Unique effect "Gain Soul Eater while using a Flask"
try getting one with as low reduced flask effect duration as possible

Soul Eater is a buff that grants 5% increased attack and cast speed and 1% increased character size per Soul. every Enemy you kill grants 1 Soul

We are also using a Saturated Sanctified Mana Flask
because this flask has the longest duration of any flask in the Game.

so we need to make sure to keep us on low mana so that the flask effect dosen't end early by filling our Mana up to full. for this we are using 2 copies of the unique Jewel Fevered Mind
for the 100% increased Mana Cost of Skills.

In order for us to keep Attacking we are using a Soul Taker
for the Mod "Insufficient Mana doesn't prevent your Melee Attacks"

To extend the flask effect duraion we are using Shackles of the Wretched
With Herald of Ice linked to Cure on Hit + Temporal Chains + Increased Duration to self-curse ourself with Temporal chains

and because we don't want to suffer the negative effects of Temporal chains we are using Kaom's Roots
for the "You cannot be slowed below base speed" Mod

Get the Mod "#% increased Temporal Chains Curse Effect" as your Helm enchant to further extend the Flask effect duration

Soul Taker
to susatin Attacks.
Needs to be in the Off-hand since Consecrated Path only uses the Main-hand Weapon.

2x Fevered Mind
so that we use a lot of mana to be always on low Mana

Abyssus

Extra Added Phys + Huge Crit Multi. nothing more to say.

Inspired Learning

for some mini Headhunter action

Shackles of the Wretched
to extend the flask duration with self-curse temporal chains

Kaom's Roots
to negate the downside of Temporal chains

and of cause Soulthirst

Because this is the Item the Build is built around

to level this build. just juse any melee skill / leveling items that you want till level 28 when you can use Consecrated Path. try getting a Soulthirst before level 50, so that you can equip it at level 50 when the Sanctified Mana Flask becomes available. equip the rest of your uniques as soon as they become available.

Here is my current Gear

The Only Flask needed is a Saturated Sanctified Mana Flask

The rest is optional, i suggest using flasks that help for boss fights when you dont have any Souls.

Link to the 2.6 version
in the 1.5 years that have passed a lot of things changed...
Most importantly: the (Player) Soul Eater change!

previously:
5% increased attack and cast speed, 5% increased elemental resistances, 5% additional Physical Damage Reduction, and 1% increased character size per Soul.

Now:
5% increased attack and cast speed and 1% increased character size per Soul.

This means that we lost nearly all of our Physical damage midigation and easy accsess to elemental resistances

but now we have Consecrated Path a skill that fits greatly in this build, boosting our clearspeed by a lot!
