I'm guessing multimod, but what are your suggestions?


Also how about using a Piscastor herehttps://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Piscator%27s_Vigil

That sceptre is a nice start, that's better than craftable cast speed (And top tier crafted cast speed costs an exalt) it's the lower tier ele as chaos, but I guess in SSF you can't be too fussy!
You will need to regal it before you can multimod of course. Either get incredibly lucky and hit something good on the regal, or you will then have to annul off the other affix, which is only going to be a 1:3 chance.

That aspect of the spider ring you have is pretty epic for SSF!

Piscator gives absolutely nothing for a caster build.

Since i have too many slots...
Meet my new helmet for bosses !


16% more DPS.

My cold and lightning res are now (luckily) balanced, i can use wise oak instead of Atziri's Promise for extra min-maxing.


Unfortunately i can't use the Inpulsa against bosses yet (i miss 17 STR and 16 DEX).
I need to find jewels to fix this (or drop 2 defensive nodes to get +30/+30 ones).

I fixed my res "issue" in maps thanks to


EDIT : reached the 1M dps mark (with shock/pendulum of destruction).

Well I just regalled it and guess what:



Any suggestions on next steps?

And yes the ring is nice. If going SSF I would strongly suggest getting Jorgin into Fortification for the Bestiary drops as they can be great.

Hi. Leveled this until 95,did everything besides delve bosses (not encountered any), chayula and failed the fight against ueber elder. But it was my first try. I wait till l96 for the next fight. Also I've took second curse keystone. Lightning herald + coh+elemental weakness and warlords mark ring. Current 4.8k life, 1.7k unreserved mana, capped res and chaos resistance sitting at 0%. I think that I need more life, but not sure where to get. Also need better weapon I think.

Whoops, this post got messed up for some reason

Small essay coming...

Wow, thats really good, and saves the annul gamble, but also makes for a slightly awkward decision.
A multimod will only be 5/6% more damage, for an extra 3ex crafting costs as you can only craft 2 more mods. And I doubt you are rolling in exalts in SSF?


Yolo exalting/syndicate exalting isn't really worth, as there isn't anything good to get on a non-crit build other than % lightning damage, and that's unlikely plus the values are low. You could get some utility stuff like attack speed, stats or resists though.
A high % spell damage roll would be ok, but that would prevent crafting hybrid spell damage/non chaos as chaos damage. So even crafting don't roll attack mods, ad exalting isn't really worth.

Option could be to farm for aisling in research for double mods, but that could take a while, and need to be very lucky to get good ones offered.

Personally, I'd just single craft it. Has the advantage that you can re-craft until you hit a good/perfect roll.
You could even divine up current mods beforehand, though probably not worth it, the flat lightning is the only one that can go up.

You could then slam it later for utility mods, or eventually multimod if you really want.

Spoiler

You're missing mana on almost every slot, so there is a lot of improvement left. Plus you can enchant Life on your warlords ring.
I saw that you pathed to the Scion Life-Wheel. I don't think that's a good idea. It takes 8 nodes to get there and you receive 19% inc life and 20 +life. You could regret those 8 Points and get the nodes that are closer. Purity of Flesh & Written in Blood would be 7 Points for 32% inc life.
Scion Life-Wheel only makes sense, when you really want to invest in life and take every 5% node or if you path there for a different reason.

Im following your build and now I see the claw nodes you've specced? why? must be something wrong?

Getting mana is kind of expensive right now, cause almost all gear pieces are set now. I prioritize ele res and chaos res over mana, maybe I can drop chaos res. The Helm, amulet and both rings are kind of "set in stone" right now.

This is a great idea, I will respec, thank you.

Is there a good use of herald of lightning herald without the curse on hit? Then I would drop the second curse and get another 5 passive points for life/mana.

How important is chaos res right now? Back in like 2.0 it was a good idea to have at least 0% chaos res. When it is not important anymore, then I would enchant life on my warlords ring. So what is better, +~50 life or 0% chaos res?
At the weekend I will try some fossil craft on shaped gloves and try to hit faster casting support +life, +mana, +res. Kind of burnout on currency after the purchase of helmet, warlords ring and amulett.

Really love this build, here is the gear I have currently. Mine differs slightly in that I use two curses, a Lightning Golem, and Cold Snap for Frenzy Charges. Besides more level 21 gems, not much else I can upgrade at this point that wouldn't be obscenely expensive/time consuming. The biggest thing would be an Uber Lab helmet enchant for Storm Brand.

Cleared almost all content so far and am loving the build. Only thing left is Uber Atziri and I'm running into problems with the reflect clone. It seems like no matter where I place my brands I still tag the reflect bitch and instagib myself, even on normal atziri. I've been despawning my brands and pushing the phase with my lightning spire trap but that probably won't work for Uber. Besides respecing into paragon of calamity for the reflect immune anyone have any ideas?

For those struggling with Uber Atziri. The safe spots for Brands during her split phase is in one of the far corners. Don't recall them there, but rather place them there manually. Mine didn't attach to her when I did that.

If you are still having trouble, spec out of the attachment range nodes in the Runesmith and Runebinder circles.
