Hey, I'm not sure how Vaal DD works, when it doesn't have enough souls it automatically falls back to "normal" DD?

So when we hold right click (with Frenzy) you get a burst of dmg when there are enough souls and when there aren't you just get the usual DD?

imo you are right.

Its always the balance between corpses spawned and corpses consumed (by whom).

one thing i noticed while playing around in PoB (and calculating an exact DPS value in excel, taking CDR into account) and i want to know your opinions:
DD doesnt really help inside the 6 link. it takes damage away from VD, which is our main damage source (9/12 corpses taken). inside the 6-link you push the DD damage above VD, but still VD consumes more corpses and does more DPS.

Number from my PoB (assuming 3,03 APS):
6Link: VD/SS/ElemF/SpellC/ConcEf/Hypo
3Link: DD/SS/SpellC

VD Spell dmg: 115k -> *9*3,03 = 3.136m
VD Corpse dmg: 79k -> *9*3,03 = 2.154m
DD Spell dmg: 48k -> *3*3,03 = 0.436m
DD Corpse dmg: 34k -> *3*3,03 = 0.309m
Sum -> 6.035m dmg

Number from my PoB (assuming 3,03 APS):
6Link: VD/DD/SS/ElemF/SpellC/ConcEf

VD Spell dmg: 82k -> *9*3,03 = 2.236m
VD Corpse dmg: 56k -> *9*3,03 = 1.527m
DD Spell dmg: 124k -> *3*3,03 = 1.127m
DD Corpse dmg: 87k -> *3*3,03 = 0.790m
Sum -> 5.681m dmg

so ~350k dps difference, but at the cost of three gem sockets.
If we could fit a 4th gem to DD (lets assume: hypothermia? haven't run the numbers for the other support gems yet) we would increase its DPS to 1.154m, bringing the first example to 6.444m!

so, what are your thoughts? better gain 3 sockets? (cast on damage taken, immortal call, ?/molten shell/steelskin)
ignore sockets take good dmg? i really don't know it :-)

Currently, i am playing without guard/support skills and took down a8 sirus/shaper/elder without troubles, haven't tried uberelder so far.
Still, i am dying every once in a while in the maps (also maybe due to not having glancing blows :D)

How are people not overcapping mana reservation?

I have:
SS/VD/DD/Cascade/Controlled Destruction/Elemental Focus
SS/Cascade/Desecrate

And that's putting me over 100% unless I anoint with Charisma. And I do have Sovereignty in my tree.
