PoE Vaal Venom Gyre builds

BUILD GUIDE: -------------- SKILL OVERVIEW (READ THIS TO UNDERSTAND THE SKILL) -------------- Venom Gyre fires a returning Projectile that can be caught. Returning Projectiles deal 75% Less Damage. You can catch up to 30 Returning Projectiles. When you use Whirling Blades, you shoot out your returned projectiles. By default you have a 40% chance to keep Caught Projectiles when firing them with Whirling Blades. This can be scaled to 65% using helm enchant. The Projectiles shot out with Whirling Blades can shotgun as they are fired sequential

Priority 8: a good helmet with spell suppression Priority 9: Atziris Step boots ^x8

PoB: 80% Delirium Channel (feel free to ignore my stupid deaths :\^)) T16 Atoll Map &x200B; This entire build basically spawned on me wanting to play Vaal VG this league and wanting to try out Zerphi's Heart. Mechanics: >Doryani's Prototype, we have -150% lightning res through Melding and Thread of Hope > >Zerphis Heart giving us Souleater and insane mapping > >Elegant Hubris

This is my current build: &x200B; Would like some pointers on how i can get more damage on it

I am struggling in sanctum with this build. How can I improve it My pob:

Ever since I was talking about how Venom Gyre is probably not viable to kill Uber Bosses, I was kinda hooked to stretch the build to my limits (even more so since my Nimis Caustic Arrow build turned out to be not as broken as I wished for). Current PoB: The single target damage turned out to be absolutely bonkers at some point and has just evolved ever since until this stage. A lot of gear is self crafted, a couple of notable expensive Items: Omniscience (20 div, found it on my first Exarch) Watcher's Eye Precision AS/Anger Multi (10 div) Ele Claw (bought ba
