I found some that just says for example "Adds 10-20 fire damage", neither spells or attacks mentioned. Bought one to see but atleast it didn't change the damage on tooltip.

I see, so Elemental Equilibrium is used with Orb of Storms to reset the resistance debuff to the target in between my FBs? So if I have added fire damage it will only gain weakness to cold or it alters in between cold/fire and just cold?

Hmm might read it through one more time. Still confused why spell damage is worse than elemental damage, I thought it was the exact same thing, apart from spell damage also increases physical and chaos.

Shaper down. This is the second league I play and first shaper I've ever killed. The fight was quite easy. I'd say easier than Chimera. Way less hectic. I did have luck with the guardians, they were trash tier bosses. I died once when Shaper's aoe pancakes were inside Zana's protective bubble. Otherwise no problems.

Since Shaper regens while he teleports you to other side of the map, I suggest just spamming Lightning Warp and rush to the end. I didn't use any special potions, I just grabbed three mana potions because I don't run Reduced Mana and I used Concentrated Effect as 6th link. I used Heartbreaker Dagger on swap for its "Your spells have Culling Strike" affix.

I do have pretty good gear but I expected a harder fight. If you haven't tried shaper and you have easy time with guardians, give it a try! And training harder boss fight with guardians is quite cheap, so give them a go if you already haven't.

I have this gear that costs me 6 ex (crafted regalia), with 34 ex what you think that I can do to max the potential of this build? At this moment I'm destroying everything but no courage to try shaper or guardians (uber too).
