Updates:
1. Pathfinder Spark is only ~1.5x (3x in standard) less dmg than Blood Mage. See updated POBs.
2. Using a 5% life cost Rathpith, 12% cost efficiency in helm, and 25% cost efficiency in gloves makes life cost much smoother, which mitigates some downsides of the build.

Also, Stormweaver is bad.
Also, on a lower budget, another damage support can be used instead of Mobility.

![[3.23] Vaal Ground Slam - Newly Buffed Build Vs 1,000+ Mobs Per Minute Farm](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t3wbXbaKgCo/mqdefault.jpg "[3.23] Vaal Ground Slam - Newly Buffed Build Vs 1,000+ Mobs Per Minute Farm
In this video, I wanted to showcase my newly buffed Vaal Ground Slam in an extremely juiced 100% delirium map. These 100% maps have on average over 6,000+ mobs in them and can be cleared in 5ish minutes (depending on build), so for all you magic find enjoyers, why have 100% quant on gear when you can just add 100% more mobs to the map?
The 3.23 buffs to this build were pretty substantial with Vaal Ground Slam getting a 13% buff in damage with the new quality and the Warcries getting a 100% cooldown reduction buff, which allows for 4 slams to be done in 4 seconds with each for 50+ million damage. I would estimate overall, the build got a roughly 30% damage increase in 3.23.
Unfortunately, this build is created from some of the most expensive uniques in the game, so a budget option doesnt really exist, but the build is worth saving up for.

In this video, I revisited my 120% Quality Bladestorm build and converted it into physical impale, which scales damage better in the duelist starting area. I have not min-maxed the build, but the build is viable enough to do all content in the game.
DPS:
Bladestorm x9 - 5.8 Million
Rage Vortex - 2.8 Million

Additional Changes:
1. Rework how loot conversions work. Convert to high level scarabs, currency, or div cards.
2. Remove ascendancy trials from T16 maps.
3. Significantly reduce amount of gear drops as map tiers go higher, while chance at higher quality bases goes up. (10,000 items to 100 in fully juiced T16 map?)
4. Remove loot bonuses from Delirium Orbs. Move difficulty and bonuses to chisels up to 100% on maps. (Im tired of playing the game in grey fog.)
5. Add Kirac map crafting system. Example: 8 Chaos will roll map into 6 mod map. 16 chaos will roll map into 6 mod map with 3 originator modifiers. 20 exalted and 20 vaal orbs will give you 8 mod map with 6 originator modifiers.
6. Add unique crafting system using disenchanting dust. Example: Divine uniques, add 30% quality to uniques, and double corrupt uniques.
7. Add shortcut in scarab tab to 3:1 reroll scarabs.
8. Buff atlas keystone Twist of Fate to be 12 mod map with random modifiers, but unable to use scarabs and extra content cant appear in the map.
9. Change atlas keystone The Paths Not Taken to Gold drops disabled. House of Mirror drop enabled.
10. Change atlas keystone Thorough Exploration to Final Map bosses have a chance of dropping Wisp enchanted map equal to 20% of total mob kills. 50% less Map drops.
11. Remove portal scrolls. Have infinite use.

Here is a video comparing my current builds in Standard League. All builds can run all map mods except for charge stealing for Discharge and Flask Effect for Vaal Spark. While Bladefall is the fastest, Discharge and Vaal Spark has more coverage and is able to kill straggler mobs like beyond resulting in more mob kills per map, but those mobs arent very profitable anyway.
These tests were done on T16.5 maps with 50%+ pack size and 100% delirium using Plenty Divination Scarabs.

![[3.21] Raider Spectral Shield Throw - Lightning & Energy Shield Version - Build Guide](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uKvMwmsKVEk/mqdefault.jpg "[3.21] Raider Spectral Shield Throw - Lightning & Energy Shield Version - Build Guide
In this video, I showcase a some gameplay clips of me using my new Raider Spectral Shield Throw. I created this build to see what all the hype is about with SST in Crucible league and while it is a strong build, I dont think it is historically OP broken as many people would suggest it is.
That being said, I created the build for mainly mapping purposes, thus I have a lot of investment into defenses as I dont need more damage, but since the build is strong, it can do all content in the game including Ubers.

Additional Note: The cheaper the farming method, the stricter the loot filter you can run since you do not need to recoup a higher cost per map to profit. In this video, I am assuming 2 div profit per map with very strict and 1 div profit per map for apex strict, but this is not representative of current fortunate farm prices. It is just an example for simplicity. There are better cards to farm at this point than fortunate. Ask Redviles what is best cards since he follows in-league prices.

![[3.22] Earthquake Elementalist - Melee Ignite - Conqueror Showcase - Updated w/ Doubled DPS](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uojL_HPVlvM/mqdefault.jpg "[3.22] Earthquake Elementalist - Melee Ignite - Conqueror Showcase - Updated w/ Doubled DPS
In this video, I showcase my updated Elementalist Ignite Earthquake build I have been slowing working on. For mapping, this build feels good just like most ignite proliferation builds, but single target DPS seems to be hard to get as a melee character even with 3.22 changes.
From my previous video, I roughly doubled the budget from 10 divine to 20 divine resulting in doubling the DPS to roughly 3 million, which is getting close to the acceptable level of DPS to kill all non uber bosses especially since it is a consistent 3 million DPS. Also, we can get really lucky with the Elemental Mastery we take and apply a 8 million DPS ignite, but that is only a 3% chance that has to line up with a ruthless hit.
I weapon swap to Bladestorm on long bosses to keep up power charge and frenzy charges, but also to easily refresh my largest ignite through a fire mastery on the passive tree.

I would estimate this Blight of Invigoration farm at 100+ Div per hour in Standard. Price accounting for in league, but dropping 2-3 T1 currencies per map plus bubble gum plus scarabs seems good.
I also cant run Beyond on this strat because the game lags too hard. If you have a proliferate or explode build, this may be viable.
You also get an insane amount of gold in this farm.
