[2.4] COLB (Cast On Last Breath) tanky, high dps, can use any spells you want

You need more than 5500 life. 7k at least. Aim for 8k.
Why you die: you are probably killing yourself. Subtract dmg dealt to yourself from your health pool: thats your effective life. If you drop below that you will kill yourself when using skill. For example 5500-2300=2200 so if something damages you for 2200 life beetwen skill uses then you die.

As for porcupines and stuff - you can try my insta 100% leech berserker from few pages ago.

ok, thanks for the advice

not sure where to take from to get more life, my whole skill tree is like all path nodes to get life. I don't have shit like ele damage....

just tried lab again, fighting izaro just feels soooooooooooo shitty with this build.
I have level 16 CWDT and the associated spell gems.....just feels soooooooooo weak.

My essence drain toon and CoCQuill toon just obliterate everything, with no fear of flasks and shit...i mean, it would be awesome if this build could like facetank uber and shit, but I'm just not seeing that happening. Ever. I mean, this shit can't even melt izaro merciless. Please show me where I'm wrong, I've invested quite a few exalted into this build, I would love to see how this build shines...yes I've seen the VODs so far, I can kinda see how this build *can* work under perfect conditions, seems like this build fails most of the time

Just get more life. You need lots, because the original build has zero mitigation. It's a somewhat "tanky" build, but it's not a facetank build. You have to get that straight. The projectile build has a very safe playstyle. Notice in the videos, you hop around bosses at a distance, not towards.

This build works very well because stuff die before they can deal much damage. You're always on the move, and Zerphi's constant heal is awesome. All you need is enough life to survive one-shots + self-damage. Enfeeble helps a great deal in higher content if you need.

And just to be clear, leech doesn't help with multiple porc explosions. It never did. You kill and leech, and then only do spikes hit you. Only shatter/armor/dodge/eva/IC can mitigate. Without any mitigation, up close with damage map mods they take you out no matter how much life you have. The key thing is killing them at a distance and/or not killing too many at the same time, which happens naturally in this build.

Edit: And good luck! Don't give up, it's worth getting right :)

I Un-privated my account.

been following this guide, gave up this week, bored with my other builds today came back to this one

cannot beat Izaro 1st aspirant's merc.
cannot beat Gorge boss

wtf

I have most of the gear from OP, lacking some lightning res, otherwise all else is good. Have 4 fevered minds, using voidbringers. Do not have the good corrupted bitterdream.

have 5500 life, level 78, few more life nodes to get

Managing the flasks is not the problem so much, it's like with gorge boss- I get 1 shotted by stuff.

any help appreciated

do you understand the mechanics here?
you take the damage of you mana cost first, so 5500 life is really low...

you say you dont have the corruption, im guessing that means that your mana cost is 478, correct?

oh wait, you use voidbringers???

do you understand that you have 0 life on gloves + amulet + not enough on belt ( and high aromur on belt... why?)

you linked that to lvl 16 cwdt (?) so if i understand correctly, you dont activate spells every jump, but only every second jump right?

if so, here is what you should do:

the best solution (for now) for you, is to remove a jewel and switch it to life + attack speed + res jewel.
secondly change gloves to gloves with HIGH life + attack speed (no armour gloves) + res ofcourse.
and third, change that amulet to high life and res amulet

this way you will take much less damage from yourself, and still manage to activate the spells every second jump.

anyway, until you have much more life, going for the 1 boss where every time you die you need to start everything from the beggining, not recommanded

Here's a T14 of my own:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAqfTA4heng

One death to boss, because I suck and derped in corner. Was the cheapest T14 map I could find lol, but it had the ele reflect I wanted. Temp chains made it really slow, but otherwise it's not a particularly rippy map.

I guess the key point is - enfeeble + eva/dodge + low self-damage lets you get away with low life pool. No rocket science there. This one feels "tankier" compared to my 7.7k life Berserker with Fortify, but that's just an opinion without numbers. I jump right into huge Perandus mob groups without any issues whatsoever, whereas the Berserker often loses health faster than can be regained and has to run out. I consider this just another viable way to build, as opposed to pure high life pool.

Chaos damage rocks (duh). No Taming/Emberwake, and it's still a 5-link. 6th link will be a ~52% more on overall DPS, but not putting much hope on getting that done. I'm stingy with currency.

It's not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome. So, maybe moving on to something else, though I'm a little bored with Perandus by now =D

looks nice, i still prefer the high mobility / movement speed leap slamming with projectiles far away, but very cool veriation (and endgame vailable)

Any chance you could un-hide your character tab?

anything related to this build is posted on page 1 :)

opened my char tab

just thought on a really good idea..
why not using in this buils Sothbound gloves?
if i understand correctly, that make you not being able to kill your self (and not being killed by reflect). the ele prolif will kill everything once its up, the only problem is to kill the enemies with DOT ,so i guess essence drain is mendatory spell to link.
that solve the 2 biggest problems of this build:
reflect and suicide
