Oh wait, I used Poison gem instead of Void Manipulation because if you don't use Consuming Dark you don't get free poison. I think ideally for your build you would want to run Cospri's Will for free poison.

And no, Bladefall can't compete because Firestorm does 200 damage a hit and hits 40 times in 4 seconds if you're using Firestorm + Increased Duration. Nothing in the game competes with the maximum damage per use of Firestorm in an ideal situation. If half of the hits of Firestorm land on a boss, that's 4000 base damage per cast, before any scaling is applied. Bladefall only does 475 phys + ~200 chaos with Added Chaos per hit, hitting up to maybe 3 times per cast on a big boss. For reference, I think the next highest damage per cast on a 2 link is Fireball + GMP, dealing about 3300 damage if all 5 hits shotgun the same enemy.

Actually going through the spells again another example of how absolutely insane Firestorm's base damage in an ideal scenario is: a full stack Flameblast only does 3600 base damage. If Vaal Flameblast was just a normal skill doing the same amount of damage, it would barely be able to compete with Firestorm on single target in an ideal situation.

I don't think I understand how Path of Building works well enough to recreate this in PoB. I tried plugging in this build's tree with a few key uniques and got a measly 63k dps, which definitely means: I hosed up. But I don't know how?

e: oh, i see the average hit is 60k. jesus christ.

If I do change from SR to SR CwC Firestorm, what links do I want? CwC, Firestorm, Controlled Destruction, Elemental Focus, ??? ?

(ed) I guess Life Leech can go in a red and Cont Dest or EF can be #6 instead, if I'm having trouble surviving...?

I am planning to do a 5B1R with SR-CWC-Firestorm. 4th link is controlled destruction. 5th link is either elemental focus or conc effect. Conc effect is a MORE damage douple dip where as elemental focus only single dips. Downside is conc effect won't help the damage of the SR itself, just the firestorm. The red socket can be life leech if needed, but top DPS would be a level 3-4 empower.

Pro-tip: if you mouseover a socketed gem in-game it'll highlight which linked gems it affects. I'm fairly confident that if you moused over Firestorm only one of the ALD gems would be highlighted (probably the left one).

And yeah, how are you going to get charges?

You have none of those right now.

I had a plan for this build, and I have no loving idea what that plan was now :p

Not even 3k/1k Life/ES is....brutal. You seem to way overly focused on cast speed on your jewelry at the expense of life as well.

You also don't have Decoy Totem. Get Decoy Totem. Let it gather up the targets for your pizza totem to aim at.

Never having done a hybrid, what's more important, ES or life? I'm looking at 6L chests. Mine is 518 currently with ~70 life. Do I get one that's like 550 es with 75 life and stay here or go with 650+ es with no life?

Edit: I think nevermind. It would be +785 ES - 190 life. Pretty clear.

I mean, every Pizzasticks build I've seen stresses the gently caress out of cast speed as the key to making them viable, but I remember finding 3k/1k a little tight in the early 60s, nevermind t6 maps, holy poo poo.

3k/1k basically means you have 3k since a single zombie slap will nuke that 1k and you have no wicked ward or vdisc or what have you

How good is a volley fire barrage build? It seems pretty decent. Can't decide on what items/damage type though. Maybe a physical one with signal fire quiver...

OK, that's a different story (and some drat good rolls). Didn't realize Belly was so low.

ilvl only affects max sockets, not max links, so you can manually 6L it...and fail to do so because this game hates you. It'd be cheaper to buy a 6L with slightly worse rolls than to buy the fusings needed to guarantee it from Vorici. Cheapest 6L Belly is 8ex, which will buy you ~1200 fusing (Legacy SC). Vorici costs 1500.


So I decided to dump 400 fusings into the belly before going to bed just for fun, ended up 6 linking it with 78 fusings



I guess the rng gods will never let me 6 link anything ever again

Lurking more.
This build uses Berserker Leech, Scorching Ray -> CwChannel -> Firestorm, and ridiculous numbers of CWDT Fire Spells, to apparently make it able to stand next to stuff while it's getting wailed on, and use the CWDT to pump out damage for the leech.

Is Mass CWDT damage through leech actually a good way to add survivability? It seems like it kind of needs to be an all-in plan to get lots of high-damage skills firing.

Ask me about spending who knows how many hundreds (though not 4k) on not 6-linking anything, and then 6-linking a goddamned Whispering Ice in 3. The one thing that 6l generally does absolutely nothing for. I'm confident I'll never 6l again. (Got cheevo though, heyooo!)
