How i beat an hour in the vault (also sage lv150)

[<color=#CD3210>Lunatic]

I recently was clearing achievements on the first characters and noticed one of the abilities dealt an insane amount of damage giving me an inspired idea.

So i started the vault as the sage, and decided to spec in physical and melee.

Here's what i had before i hit 1 hour :

And the vault boss literally existed for 2 seconds before it died and here is the result :

Ultimately i focused on getting attack speed for ring blades, melee, physical, i also chose 100% crit chance losing 25% multistrike, 100% crit bonus and 100% ability damage, i doubled down on 30% melee attack speed and 30% physical attack speeds.

Having 97 defense for 82% dmg reduction helped in the early game, i stayed at 500hp till lv 120.

But the real MVP is the blood catcher necklace, giving 0.2% dmg per stack, i had 2.1 million stacks at the end. 0.2% x 5 = 1%, 2.1m divide by 5 = 420k, 420k x 1% = 420k% damage.

As you can see ring blade is leagues beyond the mace, aura and fists, dealing 70 billion in an hour.

Is the vault the easiest place for lvl 150 ?

Well the blood catcher stacked so high and proc'd so often that taking consecutive hits for 50 damage twice per second did nothing to my health bar as i was healing about 400 health per second.

Without the blood catcher you wouldn't survive for very long past lvl 100 or past the 40 minute mark as the mobs start scaling pretty hard.

I was hitting those golden knights for 170k per hit around the 50min mark and they took 4 hits to die. So you need a lot of damage.

But you can easily survive for 30 minutes, and the vualt boss is really tanky if your damage isnt as buffed as mine was.

Can definitely still post 90min+ runs without blood catcher.

It's broken yes, but it isn't the only broken thing.

I did it on Chamber of Dissonance, with about 450 achievements completed, and 8-9 Artifacts enabled, and used my pots to double XP gains. I also realized ring blades are OP, and focused on those (Cyclone + Crippling) and then destroyed everything on screen for ages, but left behind all extra scrolls and chests. Finished the run at level 144, and used the half-level XP from each scroll and chest to get up to 150.
