Hated BV, just felt that getting the stacks and trying to use spark at the same time felt like juggling chainsaws and the boss would kill me.

I used pure spark in a 6L for a long time. This sucked in the end since the mechanics of spark do not allow it to go up and over things like holes in the ground and the abyssal monster holes sucked. I started to use leap-slam when I go my Doryani's and this helped a LOT since I could just leap into areas and spark everything to death.

I started reading about the CC GC combo with the new tendrils and tried it after finding a decent pair of elder gloves for spark. Of course my spark felt weak after being in a 6L even with the gloves - I had it around 80k and was easily sparking bosses using a decoy totem. First thing I noticed was that GC goes everywhere! GC goes up and down ledges, over walls, holes in the ground - the damn ice is a 4x4. I loved this since it adds a whole new dimension to our survival, as soon as spark is stuck with once click i can GS and everything is dead. I had to make changes to my tree a bit to fit in the GC jewel, yet after that it is working great and taking down bosses fast.

I am lvl 89 and have made a ton of currency with this guy - exploding everything on maps is awesome!


btw u dont need pierce support and poacher's aim if u using voidwalkers

Good call thank you - what is the best replacement?

Also - what are the increased duration nodes on the skilltree for? Can I drop these if I'm not using BV?

Does it worth it to go from 2X Hazardous Research to 1X Hazardous Research 1X The Long Winter ?
---
Why not use 1 hazardous reach, 1 poacher's aim and 2 long winters?
🐢
Poachers Aim? Fuuuck no. Needless, waste of a jewel socket.

I'm guessing one Long Winter is good enough, with Chernobog we're at 100% ele conversion.

I'm noticed it's not self sustaining though. The cost is higher than I can regen ( I can oom my self eventually, casting Lightning Tendrils in HO)

Hi Im the guy that asked about "lv86 but i sill cant beat The Apex of Sacrifice cuz i died so easy".
my gear is the same as yours in the guide except the amulet and vessel of vinktar, i use two life flasks,one mana flask,one run speed and the overflowing chalice. if you need more info let me know.


Use a Diamond flask!

Yeah a diamond flask is really a good tip but I cannot say too much without seeing anything. Change your privacy setting so I can see your chars. Atziri is more about avoid stuff and knowing the mechanics then about tankyness.

Bashtart, im playing with LT CWD GC setup and cant test bv setup because of colors on inpulsa, so, can u please tell me is vinktar good with lt cwd gc setup? Because vinktar is about lightning damage, but if we can convert bv to lightning and get life leech by vinktar, gc 60% cold 40% phys(80 cold 20 phys with jewel), so we cant get good life leech from vinktar?

Yes vinktar is good... you will get a decent smount of additional dps and also some additional lightning dmg for leech.

Just use one hazardeous research and one long winter. Poacher aim is more or less only and option as long you dont have any piercing.

I understand the thing about different play styles and some people not liking having to build up to 20 stacks but my question is BV still better (in terms of dps) even without using Hrimburn and only having 50% phys converted to ele? Since a lot of the build is based on Inevitable Judgement and ignoring monster ele res on crits but that doesn't apply to basically half of our BV damage.


What do you think bashtart? I wanted to get your thoughts. 50% BV converted dmg (75% if chernobog) vs 100% ele dmg with LT-CWC-GC setup. I was thinking that maybe LT-CWC-GC might be better when considering Inevitable Judgement or does BV, without fully converted ele dmg, really still outperform in dps?

I think both setups are more or less even... bv will reach higher dps with 20 stacks and additional spark cast but in most situations you will not be able to sustain 20 stacks. With the LT CWC you click the button and you have the full dmg what makes it easier to time it with flask and other damage buffs.

My conclusion is that both setups are viable for sll the content and it is decision of preference and playstyle. I think I will stick with LT CWC GC setup for a while and maybe switch to BV when I wanna do mainly endgame. In PoE it is nearly never black or white... everything has advantages and disadvantages.
