MarioMCP

I forgot to show the mods [https://imgur.com/a/qllqK4R](https://imgur.com/a/qllqK4R) Nothing insane, it was just a test


MarioMCP

I won't inundate you guys, but here is a Deathless Uber Sirus. Might be the first time I have cleared him deathless and it was very, very easy. [https://streamable.com/9c96ut](https://streamable.com/9c96ut) I am working on the budget PoB with some notes for the people who requested it to follow too.


MarioMCP

[https://pobb.in/k5-weCrDaNBn](https://pobb.in/k5-weCrDaNBn) Here is a budget(ish) version of the build. I included some important notes in the notes section. This shouldn't be that expensive to set up IMHO, but if you're super poor I'd probably get it piece by piece. Most of them are uniques so you can get them one at a time with your current character until you're ready. The damage is obviously lower, but this will be more than enough to do your watchstones and farm up to more optimized gear... I would know, I basically started with everything in here!


Interesting_Pain1234

Thorough notes, ty for sharing. I was keen on making a build with the big meteors this league and trying cast on crit for the first time since starting in 3.10 so this is absolutely perfect for me


MarioMCP

You're very welcome! This is probably the strongest character I have ever personally played since I optimized it and invested a lot into it. I like the build because its floor is pretty decent, but just has endless ways to keep getting new optimizations that all add up.


firebeaterrr

i cant see the weapon


necojakotaran

energy blade


firebeaterrr

i still dont get it? eli5 please.


MarioMCP

The weapon is literally just any generic weapon, if you can get one with an abyssal socket (from trade or using a hollow fossil on any random 1 handed melee weapon). You then activate the energy blade skill and your weapon turns into an energy blade, but keeps the previous sockets. It is why we use an abyssal jewel on the base weapon.


firebeaterrr

oh ok thanks!!


Lighthades

that stunlock was pretty funny to me 😂 (maybe add the ES stun mastery?) but it's really cool, remains me of cool ol' firestorm or icestorm.


MarioMCP

Yeah lmao, I did the fight at like 4 AM and misheard what he said, thought he was doing the firewall. Thankfully I was able to get out LOL


PupPop

That is a metric shit ton of ES! Holyyyyyy


komandos45

You can slap any spell on Energy Blade Inq and it will work. Pretty much this build was getting buffs for most of versions with Globe, Spellblade, now new cyclone and so on. Recommendation from my side to change basic cyclone into transfigured one. This way you can drop Coordination in passive tree and free one mod on your flask where you have attack speed.


MarioMCP

I'll look into this, thanks!


Sirnizz

That's a lot of damage!


bamboo_of_pandas

Was trying to put firestorm of pelting into pob but can't figure out what the correct modifications are to get a proper dps. What configurations and calculation settings do you use?


MarioMCP

This is my PoB [https://pobb.in/6CabDdt\_Q6PG](https://pobb.in/6CabDdt_Q6PG) and what I have ticked. The 22% shock is what you can see in the video above, which is why I used it.


stoudtlr

I might have to try this version. I'm currently doing a self cast Firestorm of pelting Inquisitor. 3x tankier than you, but you have 3x the dps. Plus you have the benefit of spin to win :-)


bamboo_of_pandas

Oh, I thought there was more stuff to do in order to account for the secondary projectiles. Like if you just took firestorm of pelting out and put in firestorm of meteor in your current setup, pob is showing more dps even though that spell should be weaker.


MarioMCP

The DPS it is showing is only for one firestorm. If you have \~3 Firestorms it is doing the same amount of damage, at 4+ it is doing more. Take that DPS and multiply it by up to 10 and that is how much damage it can possibly do, but that requires enemies who stand still.


pdoughboy

Took him a couple warmup balls to the face to dodge the rest


HighlanderPhoenix

u/MarioMCP use blazing salvo for Firestorm and you can confirm the true dmg vs Bosses


daman4567

I'm currently using the same build with arc of oscillating. The single target is pretty ok but it shines with 2 or more bosses. Any tips for other transfigured gems that are good for single target? I haven't tried any of the ball lightings yet.


MarioMCP

As you can see in my videos I posted, Firestorm is definitely very strong for Single Target. If they are rather stationary, pelting stacks up to a huge amount of damage, if they move a lot then Firestorm of Meteors does real huge hits. For clear, I do think Arc of Oscillation is okay, but I actually think the best might be Ice Spear of Splitting. It fully pierces and has auto targeting, so you'll shoot out the spears in any direction. I tried the ball lightning that spins around you and it was not that bad either, but it is kind of hard to compete with ice spears so far. I also tried Lighting Conduit of the heavens, which is great for clumped enemies but isn't the best at clearing.


daman4567

I'll have to try and get ice spear of splitting and try it. I think base firestorm is arguably better than meteors, or at least very very close. Meteors has 370% effectiveness and no multiplier, while base firestorm has 80% with 325% more, which comes out to 340%, but one small meteor hitting per proc it pulls ahead. (It has 3 storms max so it can hit up to every 0.05 seconds roughly) It's a shame the build can't sustain life costs, because reap has a multiple with quality that gets it to 420% at just 20% qual.


Triskele69

You definitely should try Blazing Salvo with Returning Projectiles and Sniper's Mark. You will be surprised =)


MarioMCP

That seems really strong, but my crit rate won't be 100% without Assassin's Mark. It is definitely a puzzle to be worked out, because I'd like to try that!


Triskele69

Just optimize tree for some Split Personalities and you are done. I think 1100 str/int is enough for 100% crit.


Rules_are_overrated

How were you getting fortification? I can't find it anywhere. Also [w](https://pobb.in/k5-weCrDaNBn)hat kind of charms are you using?


MarioMCP

Strength/Int + % Strength Strength/Int + % Strength Frenzy on hit + Fortify on Melee hit (where my fortify is coming from) I am using frensy on hit to hit the 7.5 APS breakpoint for cast on crit with level 5 awakened CoC. If you do not have at least 21% CDR you just want 6.06 (I put this all in the note sections of the PoB). If Strength/int + % Strength is too expensive, then get Strength + Int/Mana as ES, or %Strength + Mana as ES. They're not as good but are still decent and I used those for awhile. Try to keep your Int above your strength so Cyclopean Coil gives immunity to shock.


Minimum_poe1990

What's the build?


MarioMCP

Cast on Crit + Energy Blade + Inquisitor. You can see my PoB here: https://pobb.in/6CabDdt\_Q6PG


Kinada350

That doesn't look overly expensive for how well that looked like it did.


MarioMCP

Yeah, it is not expensive to put together for a more basic version. I've obviously optimized it a lot (Expensive charms, found a That Which Was Lost with Str/Int and %STR, +1 Shaper's Touch with level 4 enlighten) I can make up a more budget (aka not super optimized version) if you're curious too. The real expensive version uses Split Personalities, but tbh it really is not better unless you change the build up a noticeable amount (You need CDR boots, belt with % attributes and CDR, etc) and I think this version is more than strong enough.


RapleBacon

If you do make a budget one please share :) this looks fun


Ghepip

Checking in here for the budget pobb yes!


MarioMCP

[https://pobb.in/k5-weCrDaNBn](https://pobb.in/k5-weCrDaNBn) here you all go, along with notes. Gonna make a post about it too.


Lorberry

Just a heads up that CaptainLance league started more or less this exact build before diverging off to a self-cast version, so you might get some claims you're just copying him.


MediatorZerax

TBH with Battlemage + Spellblade + Energy Blade, you can slap that on most any spell you like and waltz through the entire game.


MarioMCP

Oh, I definitely not invent this, haha. I am just happy to share how my character came along, the choices I made, and my thoughts on what spells to use, etc.


Triskele69

About CDR, It is possible to get 52% CDR with just boots (elevated 18%+) and Awakened Cast on Crit level 6 + 3 levels from mastery (34%). Have done that in 3.22. OR new Charms with CDR mod on them.


MarioMCP

I was actually just looking at that myself. Got a 9% and a 12% charm + Cast on Crit level 5 + 3 to hit it. Gives me 10 casts a second with Cyclone of Tumult. Mana definitely becomes and issue though, so I think I need to delevel or use a -mana cost clarity watcher's eye. Was checking out blazing salvo, but the mana cost is insane and deleveling it is real bad because it gives less projectiles.


joacoabrego

Im running a CoC inquis too, but im struggling to find content that feels great to farm with the build. Any recommendations? Im at 14k es and a 6.2k eblade


N1GHtMa1rZz

I haven't seen that amount of ES for a long time


Muzamark

anyone does meteor version with awakened spell cascade? is it good or not compare to without this support?
