I am running this build for a long time with recent 2 month break which was initiated by countless death by desync (originally started from Sblak build)...gettin frustrated more and more, 400 ex build and I am getting randomly one shoted in maps by exiles, cant do pretty much any higher lvl boss at all or its toss up if I survive (crema boss instant dead, tried with my mate, had 83% fire res, not a single damage modifier on map or anything, still she kills me in 1 second...any map version of dominus insta RIP, havent even bothered with atziri/uber would be just waste of time/exp). Insane desync all the time, countless deaths by gettin randomly stuck in nowhere unable to move, or just flickering and "missing" then when I "resync" back I am surrounded by mobs and get one shoted.

This build is great for lower lvl maps and trash mob clearing, the clear speed is insane and also the "wow" effect, but in terms of survivability and true end game content its just horrible, at least for me.

Please dont take this as a moaning towards your build, I am just trying to figure out how to make it work for end game content as Ive invested so much effort/time/currency into this and in the end its just gettin frustrating seeing that ppl with 10ex gear have better survivability then me lol

I use MF setup (Aurseize, Wondertrap, IIQ and IIR gems) when I solo farm for currency, othervise I use full dps setup (Maligaro, Rainbowstride) and I snapshot and use high ES shield....even with that shield I have pisspoor 4.6 K ES only and that is my strongest setup with 0 MF :(

One last thing that that comes to my mind before I just sell everything and make some new build would be to to buy Acuity and get rid of VP and get more of those ES nodes from scion section of the tree but even then I just cant see how lets say 1K-1.5K more ES is going to let me survive the bosses you claim you can kill

please any help appreciated

Atziri's Acuity is pretty huge for this build. Before I got them I had gaps where I would flicker into a pack but not be able to flicker again due to mana and then get destroyed by the pack I was suddenly in the middle of. It's hard to overstate how good those gloves are, both in terms of damage and survivability.

Here are some examples, assuming I didn't screw up my math or any game mechanics:
Life/ES: In my gear, the average physical damage of my flicker with full power charges is 1944 and I flicker about 12 times per second. That's 12 * 1944=23328 physical DPS (assuming my mana can withstand it). With 15% life leech (Crown of Eyes, Blood Rage+level 2 Enhance) that means I leech back about 3500 ES per second (actually a bit less, but that's a rough average). Using Vaal Pact, that 3500 ES per second would drop to 1400 per second.
Mana: 12 flickers per second with an average cost of 109 mana means 1308 mana spent per second while flickering. Based on my physical damage listed above, my mana returned per second due to Atziri's Acuity instant leech effect and the 2% mana leech from Crown of Eyes is 467 per second (23328 * .02). I have a total mana pool of 724, so this is over half my mana per second. Using the Auxium belt with 5 power charges brings my mana leech up to about 1633 per second, allowing me to essentially flicker indefinitely (aside from having to stop and refresh my power charge stack with a Lightning Strike). By contrast, not using Atziri's Acuity means that your mana leech cannot exceed 12.5% maximum mana per second (unless you use a quality Mana Leech gem), which would only be about 91 mana per second for me.

Some of these numbers are a little off due to assumptions I made about crit and crit multi, but it should still give you a pretty clear idea about exactly how brokenly good Atziri's Acuity gloves are.

I consider Atziri's Acuity to be every bit as important to this build as Shavronne's+Prism+Crown of Eyes.

If you buy the gloves and then decide that this build just really isn't for you, I don't think you'd have trouble transitioning to something like Fyndel's Spectral Throw with your gear.

I never had issues before acuity however I would consider them a sizable advantage.

What are ur stats? Resists, Crit chance, hit chance, Es w.o snapshotting. Armor/ev?

Blessed ur prism the resist roll is rly low.

None of you flasks are rolled properly and you are missing an evasion flask. You want surgeons mod on all flasks which you should be popping constantly. I have 40 something % physical mitigation and 60 something % evasion with flasks up, which is essentially always. Can't comment on much else atm as im on my phone at work and things display weird.

He can't reroll the implicit on the Prism Guardian, non-legacy Prism Guardians are stuck at 12%.
