[3.20 POE] VAAL CLEAVE - SECRETLY ONE OF THE STRONGEST MOST BUSTED MELEE SKILLS! ALL CONTENT VIABLE

Vaal Cleave! What started out as a meme idea and inspiration from a reddit thread turned out to be one of the strongest shells for a melee build I have ever played with. Not only can I swap out Vaal Cleave for a number of melee skills but I have been able to clear all content in the game using this setup!

NOTE WHEN I RECORDED THIS FOOTAGE I WAS IN SAND STANCE I SHOULD OF BEEN IN BLOOD STANCE I WAS MISSING A METRIC TON OF DAMAGE*

ALSO YOU DO NOT NEED A MAGEBLOOD TO MAKE THIS WORK!!!

Inspiration for this build and video came from reddit user ch00chootrain link to their reddit post can be found here:
