What would you change for the build if you played in Nemesis? I made a shadow before I saw this guide and while I don't have the best of gear I'm having hard time dealing with reflect even when I do only 6k reave damage (8k double strike). I am life based, though, no currency to roll CI just yet.

At level 80 this is my build and gear:

Having 5k ES in Nemesis is nowhere near acceptable, which makes it tough for me to decide how much damage should I sacrifice for survivability and will I still have enough damage to solo clear maps fast while being useful in a group as well.

Get rid of carcass jack, go a 400+ es piece, preferably hybrid for the dmg reduction/evasion and you should honestly be fine. If you think you need more than that. You're doing something wrong :)

This build sucks. Level 65 and gets one shotted from everything. 72% in all res, no ci yet but got 1100 energy shield and 2k hp and 5k armor. So just delete this shit...

Find it hard to believe that you would get one-shotted from everything with those stats. Or maybe it is just because you suck at the game...

Only dominus can oneshot me, high lightning dmg bosses can kill me fast but no oneshot. (all in maps)

I have 3,7k ES, max resis and 50% reduction from armour.

I don't know how you get oneshoted at 65 with more than 3k hp/es pool. Do you use wwblades?

Does vaal pact work ok with life based build ?

With ES you are in good shape because the ES will recharge automatically.


With a life based build if there is nothing to leech then you can be stuck at 20% life until the next monster shows up- with you stuck at 20% life.

sure you can go through a portal, but that's not acceptable in maps.

You shouldn't really have a problem. The only real downside I personaly don't like, is chaos over time maps, as you have no regen to counteract.

i'd exalt the vaal claw


Which one? Both of them?

Hello guys, are there any rangers playing with this build? I'm curious about how life based version works with rangers.

Just curious, how does your armor build stand up to GMP voidbearers? I'm running this build with 5k ES, 75% fire resist, and 12k unbuffed dps (17k with charges). The 100% chill avoidance is extremely intriguing, but I probably will have to drop 3 auras (currently hatred/grace/discipline).

Been doing alright except I still die extremely fast to voidbearers, especially if they have additional projectiles. I know arctic armor is one good counter to voidbearers, but do you notice the higher block rate from talents making a difference? On second thought, spell block probably won't be much higher as I have 26%/7%, and even with 40% it would only be ~13%.
