heres my one question, and excuse the stupidity of it if its obvious - if awakened elemental focus stops linked ability from causing elemental ailments, would something like hypothermia not be so useful because you arent chilling enemies anymore?


The Skill "Corpse Pact" from your ascendancy handles the chill ailment.


right right. derp

so, i was using Vaal-DD as nuke, but ill swap out to hypothermia and give a map a test run
Hmm no inspiration charges when it's socketed in chest?

mapping seemed a bit slower. im not sure if that can be attributed to the gem combo or map modifiers. ill have to run a few more maps with hypothermia in instead of DD to really see whats what

I have tried both ways and mapping is most definitely better with DD. Then when you compare Bossing... well actually there is no comparison.... Bossing is orders of magnitude better with DD. Map bosses and Conquerers are basically deleted before they even make a telegraphed attack - that does not happen (with my build / gear anyway) if I just use VD on a 6l.

It does of course help with DD socketed if you at least try to be a little accurate where you aim frenzy but then again I have blind and culling linked to mine so am always aiming anyway.

i just swapped back to VD/DD and it was like night and day. Im sure hypothermia works for some people, but with my current setup, its not the optimal combo

No, the reason for that is because all the gems linked in the chest are being used by spellslinger. You see Inspiration works only if you use a spell that it is linked with it and costs mana. Spellslinger however is an aura effect, you are not "actually" using it. Thats why for Inspiration to work for your VD/DD you must also have it linked with Frenzy. That way you generate the charges with Frenzy because you are casting it, and because you have Inspiration also in your chest, VD/DD benefit from the charges, even if they dont generate them.

Yes i finally figered that.Now i start testing ice bite and drop hypothermia...
Thanks so much for this guide.

Its my first time playing on a league and I learned a lot from this build.

Here's my End game gear. I don't have much idea about crafting since I'm a newbie. I just maximize the harvest crafting.



I really love this build. was very tanky and has good amount of damage.

I am now quitting this league due to work scheds. I'm gonna leave this as it is since I don't play in standard.
Will probably use this build again in the future leagues. please keep this up!

I really appreciate you putting up this guide. Thanks a lot. :)

Interesting findings on VD solo! i'll test it on my own this weekend and i am very curious for the results. i will add one support and awakened spell casacade to use all corpses up with VD. will tell about my impressions later.

from my sheer damage numbers calculated in excel it should be better, but as i said many times - this build is so complex, maybe im missing something.

another advantage i saw when playing in PoB: when i remove DD i lower my reserved mana, which allows me to add Herald of Ash. this will also be tested on the weekend :)

Also, if you use vaal DD, nuke button :)
I will write something here when I can think of something clever and amusing.
