Rustys 2h Vaal Earthquake
|
Hello Exiles
I'm Rusty This was my Vaal EQ Two Hand Warcry Bleed build With the Nerf to Bleeding in 3.14 the power of melee bleed was reduced in power yes it works but no where near as strong as before. The offensive power of the Seismic Cry combo into 1 shot bleeds allowed you to negative damage by killing before you were even hit. This build lost too much damage for this to be considered a viable end game option without switching to from Axes to Starves for max block and redoing the entire theme of the build. In every scenario for bleed using a one handed axe is better than any Two handed Mace/Staff as Axe tree nodes are superior and you will also have max block. Maybe in the future I will revisit this build if they buff it until then I will continue to play other builds Bandits - Kill all + 2 passives The Pantheon Major God

Vaal Earthquake is the attack gem of choice and while we do not scale this build to use attack gems we will utilize the Aftershock only to gain huge amounts of more multipliers from Normal and Vaal versions respectfully normal 150% and Vaal 350% more ailment damage at level 1. With the Addition of Heist League we now have even more ways to mid-max through the use of Alternative quality gems throughout this section you will see gems I have chosen as they were what I tested and prefer.

All-Rounder Body Start of a fresh League rush Incursion in order to get to Maximum Life to Max Life body with resistances eg Horror Salvation below. Cheap 6Ls usually are corrupted 6L or Div cards Indisponível Influenced Body Armours Astral Plate is the desired body armour however go with what you get/afford Warlord is now the ideal Influence from now on as you can gain access to -15 mana cost to attacks. +1 socketed gems will provide always give the most damage increase Helmet Whether you decide to go with Rare or Influenced Rare Helmet you will need to get an open suffix for Avoid Elemental Ailment Bench craft
Spoiler
Since I have updated the build to use fortify we no longer gain more bleed duration from unbound ailments. This means if we ran Vulnerability curse effect the duration will drop below 4 seconds this is a nerf. Below are now the best enchants keep in mind an Elder helm with -9% Take physical is just as good as an enchanted helm. Helmet Enchants 1) Increased Earthquake damage 40% 2) Increased Earthquake damage 25% 3) Attacks Exerted by Seismic cry deal 50% increased damage 4) Attacks Exerted by Seismic cry deal 35% increased damage 5) Pride has 15% reduced mana reservation 6) Flesh and stone has 20% reduced mana reservation 7) Dash has +2 Cooldown Uses | 100% Increased Travel Distance Budget Helmet High Life/ Resistances/ Chaos resistance/ Ailment Avoid Craft Elder Influence Base with Ailment Avoid Crafts Helmet must be Item level 85 for Nearby enemies Take 9% Increased Physical damage anything lower and your wasting your time. You may want to Awakener orb craft infuse Fortify increased Effect, Shock or Chill Conflux Gloves Whether you decide to go with Rare or Influenced Rare Gloves you will need to get an open suffix for Avoid Elemental Ailment Bench craft

If you cannot get a Two-tone just get a regular pair with Life/ Resistance/ Avoid Ailment with Crafted Movement Speed Blight League Anointment

Budget Unique with Anoints Carnage heart is generally dirt cheap good all rounder amulet You may get this drop by today's standards this amulet is not very good. The exceptions are if you are in SSF and have this drop before gaining access to a Vulnerability ring then this is a buff. Whether you sell or keep The Jinxed JuJu it provides high easy access Chaos resistances, Pride aura effect, Vulnerability curse effect, solid in Dexterity and Intelligence gains Budget Rare & with Anoints Crafted Life, Elemental Resistances, Attributes or Physical to attacks generally speaking these are your 1-5c range purchases | You can now get very cheap Anointed Talisman amulets if you are a smart buyer. Elder or Hunter Influenced Physical DoT Amulets Bases: Turquoise | Jade | Citrine | Onyx Life | Physical damage over time | Elemental Resistances | Physical to attacks Even after the removal of Thread of hope there it is still worth while crafting +1 minimum frenzy if you have the option to do this its 4% more damage per Hunter Influenced Amulet The Goal here is Life 16% Physical over time & +1 level of all strength gems Optional to craft +1 minimum Frenzy Bases: Turquoise | Jade | Citrine Catalyst Abrasive = Damage | Fertile = Life | Intrinsic = Attribute Belts

Spoiler
Viridian Jewel You could also use literally any roll with leeched physical as mana to start with heres a few examples of a more end game option Generic Jewels Life & Physical DoT with Chaos resist Elemental Resist or more damage Life Attributes Resistances Abyss Jewels Since dropping Phase flask I now run 1 jewel that has Phasing on kill. It will become more expensive to also run Onslaught on kill this may be become big quality of life for map clear speed. Corrupting Blood Jewel Optional if you are not confident with Sirus otherwise Bleed Flask is fine Increased Physical Damage Large Cluster jewel Aim for 8 Passive Large This is now the backbone of the build for early game damage. I generally pick up Master The Fundamentals, Furious assault and Exploit Weakness. Physical or Damage over time Medium Cluster jewel You will want to Rush x2 Exposure therapy to get a quick +60% chaos resistance against DoT early on which will carry hard. Any combo afterwards with Wasting Affliction, Vivid Hues, Exposure Therapy, Rend, Wound Aggravation Brush with Death, Flow of Life, Student of Decay will work. Once you get more chaos resistance across gear slots you can keep 1 Exposure therapy. Aim for 4 Passive Medium Small Cluster Jewel Aim for 2 Passive Small Elegant Form (30% avoid elemental) Aim for 3 Passive Small Chaos resistance | Blessed, AntiVenom or Born of Chaos Unique Jewel To build defence you will Need not want Need +75% chaos resistance alongside Xibaqua at lvl 95+ to provide a total of +80-83% chaos resistance Intuitive Leap lvl 97+ provides the highest end game damage however it requires a passive rework and only viable option for high level character pushing a 15mil dot into 25mil+ 100% Avoid elemental Ailments This without a doubt is the best defensive layer in the game for a solo player
Spoiler
What is An Elemental Ailment Shock | Ignite | Freeze & Chill | Scorch | Brittle | Sap Shocked & Chilled ground map mods with 100% you become unaffected The goal is 100% total Avoid Elemental Ailments through Items and Bench crafting we achieve this with varying cost 1% Chance to dodge Attack Cluster Small Jewel Helmet | Gloves & Shaper Influenced Boots bench crafts Body Armour Bench Craft Above is easiest way to gain it. Below is more niche ways but require more funds Synthesis Ring Implicit Range 18-25% you will need to apply a Blessed Orb to reach maximum Crystal Skin Anoint As a Non Gladiator the 15% avoid can come in clutch however I find if you pick up this its generally for the +1 to all Maximum Resistances Flasks You will always gain more benefit from applying Glassblowers up to 20% quality per Flask
Spoiler
Without 100% Ailment Avoid set up Any combo of Flasks with Remove Bleed | Freeze & Chill | Shock | Optional Ignite X2 Life 2 Utility 1 Damage Flask With 100% Ailment Avoid set up A Huge boost to damage is a Bottled Faith you'll have to shuffle bleed immunity onto a different flask like granite or quicksilver we focus on this part only. Consecrated ground created during effect applies 7-10% Increased damage taken to enemies Do not use a Lion's Roar if you want a damage boost run Sulphur Flask or Bottled Faith. As a Ailment bleed build we gain nothing from More Melee damage this flask provides Armour and Knockback only Maps & Map Mods Will update to fit Echoes of Atlas expansion
Spoiler
No Leech Life & Mana The direction Ive taken the new Cluster jewel version this map mod isn't as taxing as it was once before. If we run Hezmana's we aren't effected at all. If we run Warlord Chest + x2 -7 mana cost rings skill mana cost becomes 0. Players cannot regeneration Life/Mana/Energy shield A lot of our defensive layer comes in the form of regeneration from both wary cry spam and basic regeneration from the tree we have a lot of life leech from the tree and Mana Leech from jewels or gear. Blood of Karui Flask keeps you on full life all the time this map mod comes down to personal choice you as when you take a hit you'll notice it. Atziri, Queen of the Vaal You will need either of these 2 options to not die to Queen Atziri both during her phase and mirror phase we deal way too much damage 1) Elder/Warlord Physical Immunity Chest 2) Sibyls Lament ring with Risk Awareness Annoint Physical Reflect Just like above if you run any of the Immune to Physical set ups work as well as sextants on watchstones Simple | Prime | Awakened Sextant Modifier use on any colour watchstone Indisponível Monsters have a %50 chance to Avoid bleeding With A8 bonus this becomes 62% the build can still do this, for the most part you won't notice much change. You will however notice it on the map bosses, you will notice it in delirium maps keep that in mind its more frustrating than a make or break for most builds. While Vaal Earthquake is active it has 100% chance to bleed and since you pop this many times in a map you won't notice the down sides 3 Month League Gear

  Loot Filters Every league I make a custom built filter so I pick up less and clear maps faster.

What do you think the gear on your 116m harvest build was worth (the first one linked)? Do you think it's gonna be more expensive to craft without harvest?

" besides the kauri and thread of hope I crafted everything I couldn't tell you how much each item piece is I don't usually play path of trade much anymore. Some of the items I made would sell for alot 20ex+ Your going back to a heavily unfavoured RNG crafting system that is about spamming to get an outcome the items you might get lucky with are weapon, gloves, amulet, belt, all jewels, flasks and hunter ring (you dont need the influence at all) now you can't copy exactly but you will be able to roll something similar since you can't just add remove life/resistances to get t1s the warlord ring, boots, double influenced helm and body will be extremely hard to copy, my budget options are a very realistic gear set with a solid dps Última edição por GrimExcuse#4461 em 16 de set de 2020 15:42:46

Really nice guide, GrimExcuse! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together :)
Going to try replicate it to the best of my ability this current 3.12 Heist league. I doubt I'll do as good a job as you but hoping to have some fun with the build. Thoughts on good unique axes to use before we can craft one with the elder mod? Thanks again 🙏 |

Could you use Kitava's Feast as a viable weapon? And if not; Why?

" Hi twistedfocus I've done my best to make it as user friendly as possible, Its still very solid choice in Heist even without the harvest crafts which my budget builds were purposely designed for a fresh league you'll do great. I personally like a Nice rare %phy,adds to phy with attack speed 350-520 pdps My goto unique would be Hezman's 440pdps then I upgrade into a rare than an elder |
