hiya with the eleron -8 mana of skills is it worth looking for ones with increased fire damage? also i got 6l infernal mantle would this work for the build and great job on shaper kill


A 6L Infernal Mantle is not that great on this build. First off it has a very low ES roll which is not that great considering our ES pool is our biggest defensive layer. Secondly we will get 100% increased spell damage taken because we are all the time on low mana (below 35%). This is really really bad while fighting spell heavy bosses like the shaper and simple minus max or ele damage maps could also do a lot of harm. Therefore a vaal regalia is our current "go to" choice.

For the elreon rings you should really choose yourself which stats are mattering the most to you. I personally prefer elreon rings with a lot of defensive stats because my damage is always high enough.

If there is anything else lemme know :)
OK thanks for the reply i just have to sell my 6l im then to get a good 6l rare :) yh the eleron rings i like to get increase fire/to energy shield/max es rolls if i can :)

Hey!

Im just curious about how you can have that high str and dex. Have checked through your gear and skill tree, but im finding nothing. Im having problem with getting both of those! Also, what is it that makes my ES sustain? I have like 7-8k shield but still struggeling in breach tier 4-5. (res caped)- Thanks for sharing this build. I really like it.


ES sustain i acquired through life reg + zealot's oath and doryani's ele leech + ghost reaver.
You can get enough str and dex through your gear. If you have troubles getting those stats you will have to invest into a +30dex and +30str notable. We also get a bit of str at the templar area. I never had any problems doing breaches so i don't really know why you are struggeling so much. Maybe your damage isn't high enough yet to do t4-5 breaches.

First, thanks for this guide, very well made and detailed ! I like playing this build, but as I'm new to the game I have a few questions.

After reading the guide and some answers, I have a good idea of what gear is needed for the build. However, I am currently starting maps and I don't really have the budget to buy the two required legendaries and good rares with high ES, correct sockets and resistances. So my question is, before obtaining good gear, what cheap gear can I buy to begin maps ? Because with my current gear, I feel pretty weak with only 5k ES and I suffer from stuns because I don't have the legendary amulet. However, damage is pretty good. To give an idea of my budget, I currently have around 20 chaos and 30 alchemy.

For example, I can't survive a breach in a map around my level, or even 2 levels below. Is is normal ? Am I doing something wrong or I simply should wait for good gear before doing breaches ?

Another point I want to mention, I don't know if it is the right place, is the behavior of flame dash. I can't use it correctly in "hard time moments" when I need to get out a tricky situation because I need to click inside the range otherwise my character starts walking before casting. It causes me a lot of deaths, and I've seen on videos people using it with a good rpecision and rapidity. Is there a way to use this skill in an easier way ? Because I found myself not using it (except between packs) because it's a reliable escape.

Sorry for my "newbie" questions, but I didn't really find an answer elsewhere.


You did the CI transition to early. Whitout an Eye of Chayula CI simply sucks with this build. The stuns are killing you probably 90% of the time. Also you only got 5k ES which is way to low for playing CI without an Eye of Chayula. I would recommend farming Dried Lake merciless till you have enough currrency to buy an Eye of Chayula so you can procced with white maps. CI builds in general are not meant for new players because of those reasons you listed yourself :D

hey,

awesome build so far. I've managed to push to 95lvl in BSC, but I got few questions to ask:

1. Is there any way to squeeze more AoE/cast speed to make conc. effect not feel so clunky? I hate switching gems for bosses.

2. Is ghost reaver really worth it? We only have 0.2% leech from the sceptre, and it feels like its doing absolutely nothing. Could have 3 more points to spend on ES instead.


In my opinion ghost reaver is worth the investment. I personally tend to 10stack a lot especially in breaches which is why i really do notice the leech.

Switching gems really isn't that hard and once you get used to it you can do it while running. There is basicly no time loss so there is really no point of investing more into aoe^^
Whatch my bild, i cant kill shapers?
oh sorry i forgot to add what are best gems for 5 link till i can afford to get 6l?
