Wanted to share what I've crafted so far:

I don't like using Abyssus so I made that helmet.

Life rolls on the items aren't all T1 but I'm Elemental and Chaos Resistance capped and I'm using Divine Flesh so I should be pretty tanky.

I bought this secondary claw:

Testing that versus using Bloodseeker.

Let me know how it feels with 2x Imperials :)

Do you have any thoughts about what SkylerOG posted above?

I'd say just try it.
To get your health per hit up even more, you could try to get a claw with +40 health against blinded enemies.

I really do like this build. It is really a great build for people that don't want to bother with multiple builds a league, because it really is great for league starting and it also really scales really well.

I can't compete with the gear some guys here have, because I seem to suck hard at generating currency, but currently POB tells me I do something like 3,5M damage and I am very happy :)
(I am currently using Devoto as helmet, guess I will try Abyssus a bit because POB tells me that is 49% more damage. A bit afraid of the increased taken damage, though :D)

Take Wind Dancer to partially counter Abyssus, because once you start hitting mobs, Abyssus’ extra phys damage taken is a non-factor (if you have Bloodseeker/insta-leech). Divine the Abyssus down to 40-41% on extra dmg taken if it’s above that, too.

Can also consistently pop +armour flasks and vaal molten shell. Make sure CWDT is at lvl 1 to activate molten shell whenever possible.

Abyssus is a must, IMO. The insane +damage it gives is just too much to pass up.

Edit: Was also looking at your char. Since you have the Pride reduced mana reservation on your ammy (you can increase this with life/mana catalysts, btw), if you add enlighten to Pride/Flesh&Stone and maybe also need one for Blood&Sand/Precision, you could probably fit Herald of Purity in your setup somewhere and get a nice bit of supplemental damage that way. I was able to fit in Aspect of the Spider this way. But I also combined B&S with Pride+F&S and lvl 4 enlighten, and dropped Precision and maim (I have maim/intimidate on my gloves), and then put -8 mana cost of skills on my ring since the extra aura took me down to around only 25 mana.

HI, champion or slayer.. which is better?

Champion gels with this build better.

+impale hits from Master of Metal is huge, as well as 100% hit chance from Worthy Foe. The points you save not needing accuracy adds significant flexibility.

You don’t need the over-leech from Slayer if you have a Bloodseeker. It’s a complete waste.

After trying out a few end-game encounters I prefer the Bloodseeker over the 2nd claw.

Going to test out Abyssus vs my Rare helm now.

Much prefer the Rare Helm and Bloodseeker setup, had several situations where I was getting one-shot with Abyssus.

Mainly T3/T4 Blue Seeds and T16 Legion Encounters.

I also made a new amulet to squeeze in HOP and am working on a new ring.



Belt is Rylslatha's Coil for bossing and Headhunter for mapping.

Pretty happy with this setup.

Hi,

Thanks for making this post. As a new player it has been super nice and easy to use. I was wondering which ascendency points in the slayer version I should take first? Thank you.

Why Experienced player section has different Skill trees in 'Skill tree' and POB? Which one is up to date?

Can you help me please ? I'm new to this league and don't know how to spend with only 1 ex. This is my character:
