poe - 3.27 Phrecia - league start - architect of chaos - permanent vaal skills - storm call

login youtube video: https://youtu.be/d8UDSwWNqmI #intro This will be my league starter. And not because it is the best, but because it is something new and I really want to test the vaal arctic armour tech later on. So I need to play a templar. I am using storm call, for various reasons, but the biggest is I can league start with storm call and not be too miserable (maybe) You can plug in "any" vaal skill into the build and do good damage though. Ultra tanky, cause life stacking + max life as es + huge regen Good dps, not amazing. Depends how many storm calls can be active at one time. Should be able to sustain 2 - 3 vaal storm calls on bosses at all times. On mobs it should be spammable. To calculate the dps multiply the average hit by 4 then multiply that by the amount of active storm calls. #notable tech runegraft of the witchmark (added chaos based on life) 100% soul gain prevention duration (start generating souls right away) 2 vaal souls per second to all vaal skills hits ignore monster resistances (all added damage is good) #loadouts - League Start I am going to try to play storm call / vaal storm call from the beginning. Very high chance I will regret this. Need to rush over to the reduced skill effect duration wheel so storm call feels playable. Also it will help vaal storm call uptime. I didn't really put any items in the league start PoB... Just gonna pick stuff up and pray. I will create another PoB like I always do on league start that will have my gear / skill / passive tree at the end of each act and various stages of mapping. - Life Stacking Yes life stacking again... Glimpse chaos makes getting a large amount of life pretty easy. And rathpith is busted (don't tell ggg) - Life Stacking Adorned It's the same setup as Life Stacking just using 5 passive voices and an 86% adorned. It is a minor improvement (30%) over the above. But there's a lot of room for improvement. Higher % adorned, implicits on corrupted magic jewels, 3 passive voices... Yeah it get's stupidly expensive. Probably worth swapping to mageblood before getting super deep. #experimental Use two triumvirates and have vaal blade vortex in the other one (might double dps). Could also mess up being able to sustain souls on bosses. cowards chains + blood barrier (can be low life and full life at the same time, and blood barrier 100% uptime) - we lose 50% regen for both es and life though. I guess before getting flesh and flame it could be really good. #Questions - How come config has +150% all resistance? I was too lazy to put res and stats on gear. There's plenty of room for it 3 rares, some jewels, untouched soul, corrupted implicits... - Does the triumvirate ring have to be exactly that one? No. Here are the best nodes to get starting at the top. 150% more damage 30% reduced soul gain prevention ignore enemy monster resist 30% less souls used
