. dont have a dying sun. it doubles up as stibnite and a damage boost.


I already have 2 curses I prefer over despair, so I think another affix would be worth it over a witchers, I just need to do some testing.
Hey, would anyone mind helping me on what I should work on upgrading next or what I should do xD Loving this build! doing mine a little different but I'm in Betrayal Hardcore. working on T11-15 maps now
Any advice would be awesome!

Trying this build in HC betrayal,

Do ppl use cold snap or is it there just for vaal cold snap?

Also what makes this build tannky? ( never been an ES player) over a jugg?

Ty
This is my first true ES build and the tankiness I find comes from the fact that I have 11.5k EHP and super fast regen when it kicks in. And your regen doesn't stop when you take damage if it has started recently.

I don't know what prices are like in the HC league, but I was able to buy a 715 ES chest, uncorrupted, with 6L already on it for 4 ex. Those chests can get up to 900 or more, so that would be a really big EHP boost for you. It might require you to rebalance your resists though, with Lightning Resist on your chest. Other than that, you have good enough gear to do most anything in my opinion. Keep farming fossils and someday craft a weapon that has both minion damage and damage on full life. Getting both of those was a significant boost to my DPS.
Can this build use only Cold Snap? Too much active buttons.

?? not really, no. And not really no.
Craft my chest few days ago with Dense + Prismatic + Shuddering. Sadly, i didn't hit a prefix %ES to go over 650 ES on the chest but it seems pretty good (and my divine orb doesn't get a perfect flat ES but the rest is perfect).


Now, i have to go for a weapon (and Spider Aspect on my belt) but it's very hard without "multi-mod" to out-perform the cold dot multiplier. On PoB, you need +150% inc damage (minion, full life, spell, cold) to out-perform 25% cold dot multiplier.

What do you think about annul (and prey to hit suffixes) on this weapon ?
First of all i want to thank you for the guide, i love the fact that you include how to craft your own gear, that ends up saving people alot of currency.

Yesterday i got my first uber kill with this build, had no ideea what was going on but i never even got close to dying, so having as much es as i do was not even necesary for a deathless kill.

I am abit lost now as to where to go from here, been trying to make small improvements but aside from a new weapon and chest i dont know what else to aim for, and those would be very costly improvements. I have been bouncing between a 2nd curse with solstice vigil, enfeeble with aspect of the spider and frostbite with aspect of the spider.

My question is what is the best curse setup between enfeeble, aspect of the spider, frostbite and temp chains (solstice vigil). I also want to add that mana regen is no issue for me.

Spoiler


also if anyone can give me any pointers to what i can improve, anything is welcome, its the first char i complete the game with and i still feel like a noob in some areas. (i know i can get more es if i enchant quality on chest but the instant heal is too op and saved me alot of xp in close to death situations)

Not sure why you'd use Frostbite. Pen only affects hits.
