Hi guys! Thanks for all your feedback and sharing in the nostalgia on the original thread. As mentioned the vid was more of a viability showcase than any real scaled thing and I promised I'd update it in increments. I'm updating this sub more often than the PoE sub because - well, it's build focused and I think the incremental steps will be appreciated by you guys more.

Day 2 Update in case you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_JOBYA8gK8

Thanks to some insane weedcrafting we're getting RIDICULOUS upgrades that would have easily been 80-100 ex back then for like, 8-10ex now. I must say, I can't imagine a Harvest-less world now, trading for the crafts, selling my own and working through it with guildies has been some fun.

This is our first attempt at Sirus 8 and we can definitely play more aggressive knowing double Seeker Runes is handling the fight for us.Not quite Archmage-level of power yet (and I'd know, I made an EShroud Archmager last league) - so we have to access the final form - going Low Life or using a Xoph's Blood (covered in Ash + FirePen) in our next Sirus Fight. :)

Changelog:

  1. Harvest crafted a Large Cluster Jewel - at last! for ~3ex. Brand Loyalty and Sadist is HUGE. The extra jewel slot also allows us to drop our Quartz Flask during mapping.

  2. Bought a Bottled Faith. Duration and flat crit not necessary - we are almost crit-capped and kill stuff too fast for duration to matter (my flask isn't even 10%)

  3. For 10 ex, weedcrafted a crazy chest with PCoC + Frenzy on Hit and Explosions - I will sell this off and do without the Explosions. The clear seemed somewhat similar (even if our build scales explosions way better than VDSS).

Our attention also needs to turn to GG rings and Belts as they are our only slots we can squeeze resists out of now - dropping cold res on the helm will allow us to put 3% spell crit in. Alternatively, we could go Commander of Darkness and hope our mana sustain isn't too bad now (it was previously.)We're at about 70% of the build's max DPS now I feel.

The last 5% will be stupid shit like 70ex Precursor's - but I'd rather move on to our next meme-dream build. :)

Spread the word, tell your friends! Ask your questions below! :D
