Low budget as shown in this video:
pobb.in/u/Subt...
XTREME budget (note that it's UBER dps meaning we're actually over 116M):
pobb.in/u/Subt...
The gear here is only an example of absurd items to aim for if you want to really min max, likely go Adorned + Voices push it even further (as usual).

Well i'll be damned they really are cats

[@aldontrimble896]

Finally a build i can enjoy

[@cynart6598]

does this build still work

[@vivaldininja]

Yes but I don't think you can get 100% phys taken as anymore

[@Partikleyt]

Works, but use svalinn

[@whereisboris]

Please tell me that Soulrend of the Spiral PF will be still good after recent patchnotes...

[@zukko83]

@subtractem i have a question, is done for 3.25 and in case is in your program release a video whit this build adjust for 3.25, i find that realy good and i'm realy hiped for start this new league whit ur build

[@yt-carlo5991]

He said the build is a bit squishier but maybe he will change something

[@dth7171]

Best thing I’ve seen all day.

[@elvisman1075]

Someone bought out all dragonfang's and raised the price up to 50D :D! half way to building the build and i aint paying that much for this shit... lol

[@ogfvgaming5394]

I got one yesterday for 18 Div and there were multiple for the 20 div range

[@masturd1066]

you should probably craft +2 and dot multi amulet instead

[@TiffanyTran-n8v]

hi I just started and want to aim for this build. Do you have any other pathfinder build for mostly bossing to start? thank you

[@DylanP-pk6nz]

Following the budget setup. I'm new to soulrend and don't do much poison. Whats the best way to up single target damage. Mine is terrible lol. I have everything for the most part but still leveling.

[@ogfvgaming5394]

It is just bad until you get up into the upper 80s and can start grabbing the large chaos cluster jewel

[@NezeruGaming]

Definitely running this next league.

[@yakaze6925]

can this be a league start of some sort or nah?

[@OtterSeaborne8901]

If you're inside the target, all the outgoing projectiles should hit one target too. There's some testing video using the Golden Rule on the wiki.

[@subtractem]

I just tested, you're right! I read somewhere that the outgoing can only hit once but that's wrong. With that said, it was _very_ hard on a regular sized boss to get all projectiles to hit. With 10 proj I was getting 3-4 poisons on outgoing only on average per cast so I'm ok with a conservative setup in PoB. Good to know though thanks!

[@pops6336]

@Subtractem , Why is there 24 projectiles linked to Soulrend in the Uber build PoB , wouldn't it only be 2 projectiles for the one outgoing and the returning projectile ? Makes a HUGE difference in the dps numbers so curious.

[@chrishobart5420]

Because you hit once with the first one coming out in the spiral form. The returning projectiles take the straight line back, ignoring the spiral. All those projectiles hit.

[@MGMarkov]

why dont just awakened CWC for stuns?

[@subtractem]

I am, but you're not _always_ channeling so a cheap jewel is a good way to just make it more comfortable when you do end up walking a bit. It's not mandatory at all though.

[@marty1230-o4m]

I don't understand the Immutable Force if you are using awakened CWC. It should give you stun immunity while channeling.

[@ElMotorr]

Yeah, was thinking about this too lol

[@subtractem]

It's really for when you're walking around and not channeling. Absolutely optional though!

[@dth7171]

Also, more horrible T17 drops.

[@Calabrel]

I instantly fell in love with this build upon seeing it, I want to do it for 3.25, but with the emphasis on phys taken as elemental and also divine blessing malevolence.... Is this build dead?

[@RickReasonnz]

Hm. Sad that you couldn't find a decent spell to channel with. Honestly surprised you didn't go in to a Poet's Pen/Squire combo.

[@subtractem]

I considered that but for pushing the budget poison dps i really needed something to level up the soulrend gems. i tried some funny things with channeling incinerate and other spells and the grasping vines boots for more poison but Cyclone just felt so much comfier to get around with (also we get the poacher's mark life on hit which is nice).

[@RickReasonnz]

@@subtractem Fair. I simply have horrifying memories of being slam blasted out of existence because I got stuck in Cyclone animation way back in the day :P Let's hope that one day GGG gives us a cool casting channel spell. (One of my fav builds every was an Incinerate Volatile Dead Chieftain - wasn't super effective, but so much fun to play.)

[@thaessaepwot5830]

3.25 viable?

[@NoobVisions79]

As a noob watching this: Pohx - Use this 1 skill and 1 button. Subtractem - I just use this, this, this, these and then this and then these skills here. Thanks for the guide Sub - Putting the build together now! Really missed a cyclone build! I have it doing yellow maps now - will push on.

[@nightgoths]

now peeps are selling the Replica Dragon Fang for 50 divines =( feels like I`m late to the party lol

[@natemoone1]

Ok so what do we level Enfeeble, Frost Sheild, Immortal Call and CWDT to? Looking at the pob is tripping me up

[@rvkkaaa]

hello this build can work 3.25?

[@maximepare1060]

Soo.. I'm planning to start PF BV to transition into this at some point. It seems like a decent transition as gear is somewhat adjacent, the trees are also pretty close and the playstyle of moving in real close fits... Would there be a better leaguestarter to transition from?

[@master_macros]

will you be updating this for 3.25 please (hope).. LOL

[@subtractem]

I might, I looked into it a little the other day and it should still work just be a little squishier.

[@master_macros]

@@subtractem wonderful thanks for replying. it has my favorate skill in it and if I dont have to stuttercast with the cycolone makes it a really comfortable build for my aging hands.

[@Calabrel]

​@@subtractemmy main question would be, what flask would you replace taste of hate with, which doesn't help the build anymore (presumably)

[@SaulitoNGaming]

doesnt feel like 89EHP build

[@subtractem]

Right, feels like more😎

[@the_gengar_master]

Looks like an interesting build. Damage over time is tricky. Ive done a few builds which has always kinda confused me since they dont nessisarily crit. Its just all about scaling the DOT.

[@AdamDorain]

Can this be league started? I’m starting to look towards the next league

[@wolvie90]

Huh I didn't know that trans gem behaved like that, that is so NOT a spiral...

[@stanleyaung5826]

With the price of dragon fangs being 50ish , and nimis currently 75 ish, would you recommend skipping the ammy and going after the nimis first?

hey, has anyone else had issues with their PoE randomly crashing? seems to be almost every time I try to trade with someone

[@martinoy6767]

I just spent 2 days making a CoC discharge elementalist which failed. Now. It might be cats time.

[@Chainelove]

How do you league start this build ? caustic arrow ? as long as it's not ED + contagion Kappa

[@IPAITH]

Yeah, caustic arrow would make sense with that tree, you get enough respec points if u do all the quests to even pick up DoT bow trees on the way (Aspect of the Eagle, Hunter's Gambit, Farsight) early on.

[@Hentou01]

pconc bouncing best option to start

replica dragonfang went to 45+ div XD

[@jiaxunhou242]

[@subtractem]

you have to press it every 5 seconds yes

[@waiora8387]

I was looking into crafting a CWC staff with +3 (fire) Skill gems +2 all skill gems, and open prefix for crafting +2 support gems, to link an empower for +5, that would work for this build and should be even easier to craft with a chaos tag

[@King-HenryIV]

Absolutely love this build bro! Thank you for the time and effort putting it together and sharing it Sub! ❤

[@kingzluv6359]

Man im so eager to try this build. Last thing i need to do is crafting the weapon with graveyard, been delaying it for hours but you gotta do what you gotta do right

[@redbeard101272]

In the budget build you have the "count" for soulrend at 3, but the high budget version it is 30. Can you explain how this works and why it is such a big difference please

[@subtractem]

3 is way too low, I think I was being mega conservative in that pob just to guard against people saying I was padding the numbers. The real calculation is: Returning projectiles has 60% less damage. So if you shoot out 5 proj the count is 5 + (5 * 0.4 rounded down) = 7 With nimis you get full damage per projectile and we are also using gmp and dying sun (which is 6 more stacks alone since we get 3 proj with flask effect and double hits) so you can see how quickly it stacks up.

[@redbeard101272]

@@subtractem hmmm ok. just had a big drop so can afford a nimis now. may go for that upgrade. Adjusting my pob from 3 to 7 is a huge difference in damage going from 5.9mil to 13.5mil without nimis

What map mods will brick the build?

[@dekina1198]

I would like to play the build but pressing the life flask over and over again sounds kinda annoying, i would sure forget that all the time xD

[@katmeerkats]

Yeah I'm playing a similar build and using annhilation's approach boots. Please note that while your health will sit at 1 in your hideout, you can die in both the graveyard and mining encampment (and probably the other league zones as well). I've died a couple times in the graveyard because I forgot to turn off my boots and got distracted on my second screen.

[@jamessunderlandseventh7410]

2:43 come on you calling this melee? xD

[@TheKloair23]

Hi Mr Sub, caught you on stream but you were occupied and wanted to ask a question on this build. How do you get Malevolence to work with divine blessing. It's costing me 632 mana to cast it. Is there a trick i'm missing?

[@subtractem]

You can lower the level of divine blessing or also link it with a 20/20 inspiration support to reduce the cost. How much ES you have will depend mostly on the rolls of your Dark Seers.

[@B1ackxP1ague]

Am i missing something here? How do you get to level 31 soulrend? 21 gem, +4 weapon, +1 CoF, +3 amulet.... where's the other level coming from?

Chaos mastery on tree

[@unluckyluke4359]

For what class is This Build?

[@nazik407]

Dragonfang 50+ Div ProGenesis 60+ Div Nimis ring 90 Div.

[@subtractem]

Dragonfang was 1 divine when I made the video as I showed and I warn about prices changing after the guide is posted. You can graveyard craft something just as good with a little effort. Progenesis and Nimis are explicitly in the high investment version, yes.

[@unknownexile7956]

Why do we use that weapon base in the high budget, how does it work do we randomly cast flame dash lol
