[3.17]⚡Velyna's Storm Brand Occultist⚡ 5M+ DPS Leaguestart | Hidden and Feared Viable

So, I feel like I've upgraded a lot and use a lot of what's going on in Velyna's mid-range LL PoB, and I've been working on upgrades, but I feel really, really squishy. I often lose 3/4 my health on a hit, damage isn't up to snuff...feels like I'm missing something. Can someone check my PoB and tell me what I can improve on?

Yeah me too, i've already invested a couple of exalts on the build and i still cant do confortably t13 or t14, and bosses are reaaaally hard. I regret choosing this build.

I can do like, basic T15-T16 maps alright, with some caution, but that's it. I can even scourge up to about 100 stacks, but so far, any endgame bosses seems right out of the question.

Getting more and more comfortable with the build. Just got +2 Shavs.
Wondering what kind of wand would be much better. Could somebody send me a trade search, so I know what I should look for?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, so basically I would suggest a wand with +1 to all spell skill gems, it's better overall since it's also giving + level to rest of the gems. You can take a look at my character profile, the scepeter I got cost me about 30c and it's ok for the time being. One of you is also using facebreaker which does nothing except curse with elemental weakness. Before I got vixen, I was using rare es gloves with resistances and ele weakness, at least that way you can get a little bit es or armor and maybe get lucky with the mods before you invest in templar gloves or something else. Next thing is clusters, I suggest a cold damage one with 8 passives, for the medium ones, use what you feel comfortable. First I was using grand design and holy conq, but in the end opted for critical strikes one which I still didn't quite decided if they will stay like this but the double damage one stay for sure and it's feeling great what stars align and you proc double damage on bosses. The boots I got were like 25c with 2 open suffixes so I just bought fenumus to craft aspect of the spider and crafted another suffix.
Also, I would get awakened added lightning since on lvl 5 it gives you +1 to all lightning spell skill gems. Storm brand 21/20 is about 1 ex, that's what I payed and that way you have lvl 23 storm brand. Wrath 21 is cheap, last time I checked it was about 40c, I was lucky to hit the corrupt so didn't have to buy it.
Everything on my character was self crafted and budget bought so you can make small upgrades depending on your budget.
The helmet is a work in progress, I don't use TFT so hunting for harvest to roll prefixes.
I did AL8 Sirus deathless, conq are no problem, 10 boss maven depending on the bosses and mods are either deathless or 2 deaths.
The main thing with this build is that you can't stop moving, get your brands out and run like a chicken until everything is dead. So before activating scourge put your brands out and then get in to scourge so everything near you is frozen and can't touch you.

I'll look into the +1 all gems wand. I currently have a +1 lightning with % lightning and cast speed, which is pretty good it seems. Any wand that seems like a significant improvement in PoB is looking like 20ex or so. I basically used the recommended cluster that Velyna gave in her PoB God or whatever, so I have blinding, more damage per brand attached, and generic % damage incr. Just upgraded my watchers to cold pen with hatred.

I think a main pain point for me is leech from spell damage. Sometimes it does a great job of keeping me healing, sometimes it doesn't. Also, when I'm in a large tanky group (Expedition) I barely have time to replace my brands when they expire if I want to keep moving, because I definitely understanding always moving is a huge point. With how volatile/glass-cannon it feels right now, I feel like I'm gonna get one-shot constantly with Sirus. Upgrading Pantheon helped a bit, but only a bit. I'll look into some of these upgrades, but sitting on 7ex and 400+c, I'm wondering if I should look into another build at this point to invest into.

The PoB was 969k as imported, with the changes below it goes to 1.25m

- Awakened added lightning level 5

- 21 storm brand

- Other gems 20/20

- Better wand (expensive but tons of upgrade room)


There are tons of other upgrades as well. On the defensive side you don't have the endurance charges from small cluster and are running molten shell on trigger but thats not reliable and you don't have enough armour to make it better than the end charge IC setup.

Large cluster needs to be 8 passive so you can fit in more of the setup.

If you have trouble with leech, you can use one skill point left of ghost reaver. Also if I see correctly your arcane surge is a dead gem at level 20. You are not procing it with the cost of flame dash.
When I searched my sceptre, I was filtering +1 spell skill gems, critical strike chance for spells and cast speed. You can add crafted or empty suffix to the search and just craft what you need.
