Hey,

Infinite vaal skills are back on the menu, I'm sure most have already seen Palsteron's version of the infinite VLS Warden. I wanted to try it out too, but with STR stacking. more tank + damage right?

The main problem is sustaining massive amounts of rage to cast skills, SebK introduced how good Vengeful Cry is for that. Only problem is, you need to receive a "Savage hit" which is 15% or more of your hp. The way to do that is with Forbidden Rite. Deals 40% of hp + 20% ES as chaos damage. Only thing is, you cannot have chaos res capped with this setup initially.

The way I solved this is:

1. get a few thousand energy shield to increase forbidden rite damage to the HP pool
2. Balance out armour+chaos res so that FR does exactly 15% of your HP
3. Maintain a fun loop of casting FR -> Cast both Vengeful Cry + molten shell. Make molten shell CD match VG uptime, in my case 12 seconds.
4. Have an amethyst flask (or Progenesis) with the enchant "Used When You Use a Guard Skill" so that you can be chaos res capped for 95% of the time

Damage is just replica alberons + str stack, also need to use dagger + squire since the Vaal skill needs to be socketed on the dagger.
