TheGoldenHandQuest's Notes
Hi,
So this is rather an inexpensive, Juicy T16 mapper, using Poet's Pen and Detonate Dead of chain reaction.
First things first - a super laggy showcase. Mapping is usually smoother than that, but since I'm recording, it becomes a powerpoint slideshow. But I can't say it's a juicy mapper and not showcase a somewhat juicy map.
I usually run Strongboxes + Deli + Beyond + Abyss + whatever else I can fit.Legion feels like a bad mechanic for this build, as the breakout is a bit slow. Everything else goes.
Some stats:
- 40% quant, ~250% rarity at max rampage stacks
- 95% Phys to Ele conversion
- All ailment immune (for quant/rarity altars)
- Defiance of Destiny
- -50% Chaos res (it is what it is)
- Some regen and some leech
The core of the build is the Volkuur's fire poison gloves, and of course Poet's Pen with ridiculously cheap The Squire. Volkuur's gloves allow us to Poison with DD, and since DD scales off monster life, the poisons we inflict scales with the content we're doing. With Pathfinder's ascendancy, we proliferate the poisons, as well as inflict Withered.
We spawn 9 corpses with Unearth and Spellslinger, and detonate 8 of them.
Just for fun I've added Inspired Learning, since we're killing a lot of rares, as well as an explody charm. If you want more damage, you can always add a few more "Corpses you spawn have 20% increased life" (charms & jewel)
Lastly, a +2 Levels to Projectile gems Lightning Coil (4-link) gives a nice boost to Unearth.
The gameplay is a bit weird, since you have to double-click (to spawn corpses, and then to detonate them), and it's not like DD chooses the corpses you spawn. So you basically move-click, move-click and detonate corpses wherever you walk.
All in all, I've farmed up a HH with this build and doubled corrupted it into a shiny rare. I'll quality the amulet and I think I will call this build pretty much done. Still need a couple more levels to get to 100. (I should make ES-based boots though)
21/20 Unearth's are currently overpriced, but you can buy 20/0 for 10c, quality and corrupt them yourself, as I've done with mine.
If you try this build, make sure to make it fun for YOU. Good luck, exile!
