PoE Vaal Fireball builds without Headhunter, Mageblood

So thanks to u/HerpaderPoe whose post made me play a bit and improve my 6 link vaal flameblast. Heres my 95% complete build. I've waited to post this because prices tend to jump on well viewed builds/strategies. So now that I have all my gear and jewels I think I am good, plus everyone is jumping ship. I'll probably play this until the event closes. My current build: The build is based off of Lolcohol's Vaal Flameblast Archtiect from Phercia 1.0 which you can view here: [

Can someone check me on this idea? True Infinite vaal Earthquake soul ripper Pathfinder. I believe this build was already possible somewhat, but with that bit more "increased flask charges gained" available with the pathfinder rework makes the build that much more achievable. Here is a scaffold tree with basic pathing for attacks and no gear beyond what is needed to sustain Soul Ripper flask ( ) (Master Alchemist is unallocated to better represent flask uptime) So here is how it works: With Nature's Adrenaline, the trai

I made a thread here a little while back and got a lot of help from this sub-reddit. My little fireball build was turned around and made alive once again (sorta). I have since than continued to make improvements. Gear upgrades. Testing different uniques. But I feel as though I have invested alot of currency and time into this build and it still doesn't feel good. (I don't have a lot of time to play). I upgraded to a +5 staff, a +2 amulet, some apothecary gloves. Bunch of jewels with DOT multi. I feel like the build has run out of gas. Obviously I know with more c

As the title states. I've always had a thing for fireball and have wanted to make it work as self-cast. It's definitely not meta but I still gave it a shot. There isn't much currency put into this build and definitely room for improvement. I die ALOT. Like at least once or twice a map. I understand why I die. Mainly I'm not not running grace or determination even though I spec'ed into grace reservation on the tree. I don't have enough reserved mana so I could either save for enlighten 4 or drop a damage aura. And ultimately I don't have capped spell suppression

Is this viable for the end game? I'm currently just at the start of mapping, I think I have reached T4 and fought Baran once, but I want to respec this character into the build above, because I started to die way too often to my liking, so I adopted as much defensive layers I figured I can realistically do while still doing enough damage not to get stuck on each magic monster pack. This character currently runs pretty much all the same build, but with a different tree and different utility gem setups because initially I had a different build in mind before findi
