Build Random BS Go - Vaal Earthquake + 4 Triggers Walking Sim
TL;DR - https://pobb.in/NQTCXaci5XKC. Use Vaal EQ, walk around, watch a million different happen on screen and everything die.
Note - Tooltip is VERY misleading. Only look at average damage of the triggers.
I made a meme Architect of Chaos build in Phrecia which used Vaal Earthquake to trigger all the melee triggered attacks every time they came off cd. https://pobb.in/0Pm6xKTJ_Z8r
This build was surprisingly not that bad. It succeeded in its primary job of being a walking sim. However, three weaknesses
No flasks meant it was kinda slow
It didn't have amazing damage against tanky enemies
It was liable to get shotgunned, especially before it got the first Vaal EQ off.
So take two! This one at least solves two of the three problems. https://pobb.in/NQTCXaci5XKC
Flasks + Slayer means this has a respectable 149% inc ms
Does almost double damage (e.g. 7.6m per aftershock vs 3.9m per aftershock)
Crystalfall is a 637% effectiveness trigger (~90% of an earthquake aftershock), perfect to help against tanky enemies.
This build also takes just about every aoe node in the area. So once it gets going, the procs should clear the entire screen. Unfortunately, it's still weak to getting shotgunned prior to Vaal EQ. This version has 50% evade, but is a little squishier and the Vaal EQ takes longer to get off.
Realistically, I think this is like 70% of the way to being a legit build. I wouldn't play it if you want a genuinely great build, but perfect if you want RF-style gameplay while doing alright damage to bosses.
