Hello, I'm currently using your build (which is very fun) but I'm having problems in the later tiers of the game.

I did sirus AW5 with 1 death (leech saved me many times) but in maps & especially bosses I feel abit squishy and lacking damage. My friend is doing the same build but he has roughly 340k (which is roughly 100k more than me) Total DPS on POB. I have some plans to upgrade some stuff but do you have any pointers where I could progress? My plan is atm:

lvl 95, get 1 steel ring, enlighten 3 to get pride(changing precision to 1 then) & then maybe a stronger claw?
I'm abit lost atm where to upgrade, I have a few ex to spend.

Thanks for help, I'm loving the build atm :)

Thanks for the build guide OP, its a hoot to play BUT its extremely one shotable at later tiers esp in Delirium fog state (unless you are actively hitting things constantly and moving around non stop). Don't play this unless you are attentive and keep moving mob to mob constantly spinning away ;) Its not a starter build for certain.

Also, I switched out Infused channeling for Pulverize, it feels better for no net damage loss overall...

This is just not true, it is definitely a starter build, if you follow the guide. I know, because that's what I did (from league start), and killed sirus yesterday (prior to upgrading my boots).

Infused channeling also provides phys dmg mitigation, so you might find that helps with your squishyness, and I rarely die to the map based Delirium monster, usually make it to the boss, and if it doesn't have phases, will kill the boss before the delirium expires.

Sorry I wasn't clearer, I meant as a new player's first build (starter in that sense). If you aren't familiar with mechanics, notification signs and patterns of the mobs and bosses, timing the leech and avoiding aoe hits is a recipe for a certain death with a build like this that uses life leech (most importantly the instant leech component). GGG has tuned the mob damage well for all players (including new ones) upto around level 87-90. Post that the sudden spike in mob damage and player survival issues may catch more than some off guard.

As for dying to the delirium thrash - its not the thrash that's the problem - its the on death effects and the bomb spawns that are frequently invisible in a crowded screen - if you aren't actively leeching when they go off in sequence, you are likely dead (for me started becoming an issue around T14). Same with burst chaos damage (think poison conqueror mobs that spit from a distance) when you aren't leeching.

Please note, this isn't a criticism of BergerBrush's excellent guide, just a warning to stay safe - just like you would playing any other build.

The infused channeling dmg reduction only works as physical damage reduction - something my build isn't having issues with due to armor stacking. But yes, for those with lower armor figures (or personal comfort) it's an excellent option. For me Pulverize is a bigger damage boost.
