Hi,

I started playing again after almost 4 years. I've enjoyed this build and I'm now at the point of changing to the 'end game' skill tree since I am now high level with a good amount of currency.

However, I don't understand the "MoM has to go because Aspect of the Spider is available again and it is too good to miss out". Where am I getting the aspect of the spider as from my little research it seems to be from gloves? Yet bis gloves show to be the dual crafting mod of phys converting.

Can someone please explain that line to me in further detail, or how I obtain aspect of the spider?

This is my first league (and first time playing PoE), and liked the look of this build.

Great success so far.

Managed to highroll an insane foil, got crit multi and damage as extra, then regaled into the 2nd damage as extra.

If anyone has doubts about this build, as I said, this is my first league and so far I've managed to do:

- Uber Elder (Loads of practice attempts and about 4ex in bricked shaper sets, but eventually got it down with 4 portals left)

- Uber Atziri

- Hall of the Grandmasters (I don't know which part of this build works against the block dude that my friends warned me about, but everything melted).

This is my main gear:

But for boss kills, I found it much easier to swap out Inpulsa for:

I tried Purity of Ice for a few sets, but losing so much mana was an issue, it was hard to keep 10 stacks of BV up so I couldn't phase the bosses quick enough on Uber Elder. This build isn't the best at sustaining that fight so keeping 10 stacks is much more important in my opinion.

My talent tree is also a little different, because I don't really see a lot of value in 2nd curse, dps is no issue and there are better options for survivability.

Gems are a bit of a mess right now, and I have spider craft ready so might give that a go.

Finally a few questions:

- Does that Stygian Vise look good enough for the spider craft? It's got a few low rolls and I'd rather have global phys damage on my end-game belt, but it's good enough right?

- Whirling Blades is not great. On Uber Elder it leads to huge overcompensation in movement and is the cause of a lot of my deaths in later runs. I don't really want to run Kaom's roots because my resistances are only just capped. Does anyone have any experience with using a leap slam variant for better movement?

- How good is orb of storms really? I never use the storm brand set up I currently have on (and it's not good anyway because of the gem levels). Any ideas for replacements? So many empty gem slots I need to fill.

Is decent enough to craft the aspect of the spider on if you not looking to sell the belt.

Part of the reason why you might feel whirling blade not that great is due to the delay after casting it. Having lightning golem up really helps reducing the amount of "delay" and thus make the animation a whole lot smoother. You may consider crafting a +1 Minimum frenzy charge to your ring too so that you have permanent 1 frenzy charge on you at all time. This benefits help whirling blade a lot and also increase your DPS on single target boss such as uber elder/shaper as we have no other way of generating frenzy charge except through mobs of monster.

For now storm brand is currently better than orb of storm in generating power charge.
