Where should I put temp chains? Should I replace effeblee?
I'm using also aspect of the spider.
You drop phase run and run 4 auras. You need 1 reserved mana node and +mana on rings or jewels. Check out OP’s helm setup. In the end, you’ll have around 110-120 mana left over, which allows you to cast frost bomb/vortex and by the time vortex is off cooldown you should have enough mana to cast again. It’s a different play style, but more damage/survivability.
Edit: Sorry, I was assuming you were running Atziri’s Reflection. You can still use phase run, but the rest of what I said is the same. You simply run 4 auras, with blasphemy and enlighten. Phase run can actually be replaced if you’d like, and just run the flask with it. That’s what I do, and it’s up almost all the time.
Tks, but what to do about the slots? Are you running Heretic's veil for the auras?
no more purchases or recommendations til the trade system is fixed.

I’m running the same thing as the OP, enfeeble, temp chains, aspect of the spider and discipline, with Atziri’s Reflection. So I had to drop phase run. You can check out his character sheet.

I have been playing with this build and made my own version of it, and just managed to down uber elder (3rd uber elder I ever attempted with my entire time in PoE), and I got him down deathless without any issues what so ever!
This build is crazy strong!
My items are self crafted and absolutely not as good as they could be (with that said, not being cheap either!)
Thanks for teaching me how to link items :D

I would link my items if I knew how to, but I guess you can check out my character on my account, should any be interested (Character - Ocoldtits)
Just go to make a new post/reply, hit your character and left click the item, close your character and the item/s will be linked in your post.
So, being SSF, I don't like wasting anything. Especially corrupted red maps that have ele reflect on them. Does anyone have any tips on ways to run these maps? I've thought about swapping to chaos DOT skills, but the damage seems pretty low.

You don't take damage from reflected with your damage over time.
However your initial hits will hurt you!
Therefor I remove the "trigger casts" since they are all hard hitting skills, and then I've been able to run a t13 with reflect.

You still have to be careful though!
All of our dot skills (Cold snap and vortex) have an initial hit that's enough to kill you though. I'm not sure how you managed to do that. I tried a reflect map before and just instantly died the first time I popped vortex on a pack.
could you work a headhunter into this build? Just curious. What would we want to change or nothing at all? just equip it and run maps?
You can put a Headhunter into anything to be fair, but in this build, the belt is actually quite a big slot. Whether you're going bated breath for increased shield, or a shaper belt for recovery.
