pob config is conservative, with conditional buffs like flasks and vaal haste it's 4mil+ dps. Shock is also higher than 30 in game but I prefer to set my pob damage lower than it is in game.

I wanted to use the Kirac battle pass skin for Devouring Diadem and the new Ranger notable - Fury Of Nature from the forbidden jewels. After some brainstorming I came up with this.

The build is played by casting Voltaxic Burst and then Lightning Warp. This offsets the delay from VB and makes clearing really fast. Phantasmal Lighting Warp is set up for speed and when you land in a pack VB goes off and explodes enemies with aoe damage. Scaling aoe is super important and the build just doesn't feel as good without it. This is mainly a mapper so boss damage is only mediocre (think CF KB, maybe a bit better) but I have killed conquerors/guardians with it.

It's not super tanky but it's not weak either. With 100% spell suppression, 50k armour and Divine Flesh +80% chaos resistance it can take a bit of damage despite only having just over 3k HP. Replica Maloney's Mechanism has Rain of Arrows linked with Anomalous Hypothermia for defence too. I'm running a notable on one of my megalomaniacs that chills nearby enemies and Fury Of Nature spreads the chill to other enemies. RoA will freeze the chilled enemies because of Anomalous Hypothermia and then the freeze spreads as well. This will occasionally freeze map bosses too.

This is probably one of the funnest builds I've played and if you like explosions it's really satisfying to play. It's also off-meta which might not mean anything but personally I enjoy playing off-meta skills.

edit: added video of Hydra. I can try making a video of no headhunter if people are interested.
