When Soulrend appeared as a brand new skill in front of the poe player, everyone was amazed by its excellent clear speed and its very enjoyable release effect. If you want to find a build that uses Soulrend as the main skill, give it a try.

Pros & Cons

  • + fast
  • + can go super duper fast as fuck or tanky as fuck
  • + starts off cheaper than dirt, can have 30+ exalts dumped into it as well

Playstyle

Run around like a chicken with its head cut off, spam your flasks and soulrend stuff until it dies. If a big tough scary ugly mob appears, drop blight totem, bane every 3 ish seconds, use vaal grace, stand still and stab the thingie to death.

Whats important on weapons?

Ghoul Thirst Omen Wand

30% increased Spell Damage
17% increased Critical Strike Chance for Spells
Adds 22 to 46 Fire Damage to Spells
10% increased Critical Strike Chance
12% increased Mana Regeneration Rate
+26% to Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier
43% increased Chaos Damage

Since were dual wands, you want spell damage, a non-ailment chaos damage over time multi roll, and ethier more spell damage or a crafted 40%-ish chaos damage increase prefix. You will probably need to go on live search and wait until a cheap one pops up, craft a 40% ish chaos damage roll and your off to the races. Spell damage and chaos damage should be the same, but crafting the chaos damage usually ends up being a higher roll especially before you get the higher tier spell damage crafts.
