Two Delirium Everywhere build guides and Mechanical overview.

=================================Leveling================================== Level 1 Explosive Trap + Chance to Posion Level 4 Frost Bomb + Spell Cascade (This prevents Regen and gives us chil/freeze) Steelskin (put on left click make sure to check to use without attacking) Level 8 Increased Critical Strike Support + Added Lightning Damage + Multiple Trap Support (we are picking up to level these) Level 12 Blade Vortex + Added Lightning + Added Cold + Chance to Posion Clarity Level 16 Herald of Agony Level 18 Controlled Destruction + Deadly Ailments Level 24 Plauge Bearer + Grace + Temp Chains Level 28/31 Swift Affliction + Inspiration x 2 (for Blade Vortex and Plauge Bearer) Level 34 Stone Golem Level 38 CWDT + Increased AOE x2 https://poedb.tw/us/Plague_Bearer ----> Plauge Bearer Gem Info https://poedb.tw/us/Forbidden_Rite ----> Forbidden Rite Gem Info At this point start linking everything how it is in the life setup not the CI setup in the skills tab ===================================Delirum Scaling==================================== TLDR table: from https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/pkgeg8/delirium_scaling/ Delirious Increased damage Reduced damage taken 20% ~7% ~19% 40% ~13% ~38% 60% ~18% ~58% 80% ~24% ~77% 100% 30% ~96% Method: just took 1-hit skill without damage spread and went to the reflect map (without mods that could interfere with the calculations, i.e. Point blank, vulnerability) Here is skill stats: r/pathofexile - Delirium scaling the character have 90% phys overwhelm and 0% damage mitigation. 0 leech/regen. 0 tethers on target Monster's damage reduction scaling: Delirious Damage dealt Map mod reflect value Reflected damage taken Monster damage reduction 20% 2001 19% 307 19% 40% 2001 19% 235 38% 60% 2001 19% 159 58% 80% 2001 19% 87 77% 100% 2001 19% 15 96% Monster's damage scaling: Based on Goddess Beam damage (Orchard map boss) Delirious Damage taken Increased monster damage 0% (normal) 3812 0% 20% 4070 ~7% 60% 4506 ~18% 100% 4955 30% Here's dev manifesto that proves 30% inc dmg at 100% deli - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2791689 Edit 1: I just checked it out: delirium grants less damage taken, not reduced. Tested on 100% deli map with 19% phys reflect. 2001phys dmg dealt, monster was cursed by poacher's mark (40% inc proj dmg taken). Reflected damage taken = 21. 2001 + 40% = 2801 2801 - 96% = 112 19% of 112 = 21 Forbidden Rite Only =================================CI Transition================================== Before you transition over, you want to have a nice stock pile of regret orbs and at least 2.5k es in the life build setup for smooth scaling. Freeze and Stun Immunity are real problems for CI characters so be forwarned you will want some form of a solution to this. ================================Trigger/Attack Speed ========================== For triggers to have maximum DPS you want your attack speed and your effective trigger rate to match. You can lower the effective trigger rate by getting % reduced Global Cooldown Recovery (this gets expensive, don't scale attack speed if you don't have access to reduced/less cooldown recovery.)
