Hey I was looking at a build to follow for the start of the new league and this looked fun. I'm currently level 66, just finished killing Vaal but I am definitely lacking HP. I have 736 life and 1.2k ES. My resistances are fine I think and my DPS is sitting roughly under 700.

I'd like it if you could tell me what to improve with my current gear. And if it's not too much trouble, the order of importance too.

Current gear:

Thanks for the help. :)

Also thanks for the awesome build/guide.

Hey, you are close to going for CI and got no life on gear, so of course you'll lack a bit life for now. First upgrade should be a chest with atleast 400 ES (and preferably Armour too), then shield with 200+ E. That should already make you set for going CI and farming Piety, start to accumulate either upgrades or enough currency to buy upgrades, Lazhwar/Rainbowstrides/Dream Frags should already be avaiable in Ambush by now. Try to get gloves with Dex and resistances, and a good belt with all three resistances. This will allow you to lack a bit resistances on the other gear, and focus purely on high ES.

What do you think of running arctic armour?

If you can handle it mana-wise and have a slot on gear, it'll be useful. But yeah, since i dropped all the Mana Regen in 1.1 for a more efficient tree, you are left with almost no regen and sustaining AA will be very hard.

You won't really need it though, the smaller hits are easily outregenerated and/or blocked, and with Aegis you will basically feel no difference, besides your mana pool being fucked up.

I've seen a corrupted lazhwar they are pretty cheap at invasion so i can buy many and vaal orb them. ive seen additional curse mod on it you think its worth to get it?


also aegis aurora is nerfed to 2% still worth to use it?

If you wanna squeeze in another curse, sure why not. You don't have to follow the guide 100%, try to experiment what works best for you.

I'd personally prefer +4% block chance/spell block chance or 1% fire leech on my lazhwar, gonna have to corrupt more.

Yes, it's still good. This build isn't built around Aegis, it's just another layer of defense and unfortunately needed to run this stupid No Regen mapmod.

Hi. I'm at lvl 58 with the following equipment:



I'm sitting at 537.4 dps on Incinerate. The problem I'm experiencing is that I have to run Clarity to be able to sustain my 4L Incinerate. How do you deal with this? I can't run any auras other than Clarity because of this issue.

I'd recommend to switch Faster Casting for Added Lightning/Chaos for now. It'll reduce the overall mana cost (less cast per second) and increase the amount you leech (more burst damage). Seems Lv40-60 are a very hard point for Incinerate with the new leech mechanics, but once you reached a certain amount of burst damage/leech, it'll work fine.

Hi I am lvl 62 atm doing great and about to go in the direction of CI but I want to ask you mentioned having a flask to stop bleeding but when were on 1 hp wont we instantly die from it? The same goes for poison clouds?
