Does anyone of you guys play this in Beyond?

Just reached 51 and slowly feeling the weaknes of this build. It is prone to high hit attacks that go through Eva. Since block is rather low and no AA or MoM(Cloak) you take alot of damage.


I'm level 75 doing maps and I still feel squishy. I'm trying to prioritize block chance atm and I need to upgrade some of my gear.

Currently running Grace/Hatred + Herald of Ash + Tempest Shield.

I hope that when I get more life on some pieces of my gear combined with Wall of Thorns + Vaal Grace I'll start to feel safer but right now It's scary. Would buying a Belly of the Beast be worth it? Lightning Coil is a little bit out of my price range just now and I'm looking for a new dagger with higher crit/phys.

Thank you both for the advice!

I went and got myself a new dagger which increased my dps from 3.3k to 4.1k:



Only "downside" is that I have 5% less crit chance but that is more than made up for with the faster attack speed. I realize it's not super endgame but it was the best I could afford for now. Should also get the 5L soon.

The doryani's is something I hadn't thought about and since I am looking for a new belt I might just go for it once I've gotten the fusings for the 5L. With it I could probably change my shield to be evasion based with more life and less dependant on high ele res.

Was also thinking of ditching the LGoH as I can easily run blood rage and should have enough life leech to sustain myself. Will try it out and post here as soon as I can tell how it works.

Anyway, thanks again for the input.

Yes once you hit a certain point you don't really need LGoH anymore. It's a good idea to use in a HC league but between leech in passives/on gear/blood rage, it definitely isn't necessary.

I'm extremely surprised you feel squishy like that, with those stats you should be fine. I would guess it's mostly a positioning/playstyle thing.

darreso's defiance for acro/ondar is good?

Well It's not like I'm facetanking everything but I don't have much range on ST since I haven't taken sniper or ballistic mastery, probably should. Very fun build though. Would switching to a Belly of the beast be a good move? I'd probably have to drop power charge on crit until I 5L it and I lose some evasion. I'm thinking of saving for a coil as well but balancing the resists is a pain.

BoTB on Acro is better than coil. I think Coil is only suitable for IR. (Reason behind it is, you barely get hit as Acro as it is, you won't be able to take advantage of Coil's mitigation) That's just my opinion though
This is actually my argument for using Coil. When you do get hit with acro, it's gonna hurt. Coil is there to prevent one-shots from happening by providing a large amount of mitigation. That said Belly of the Beast is also good for this!

Level 85

40.8k DS and 6.6k ST in town

50.7k DS and 8.2k with power charges (5 total)

Gear:
Spoiler



So there's some room for improvement. Working on a 6l and upgrading my gloves / rings, which should do a lot.

All levels after this one will either increase my damage or my life pool, which is somewhat lacking. Also, my gems have not tipped over 20 yet, so I don't have any gem quality benefits.

Went for a dodge build, but if I had to do it again I think I would start ranger and go for IR.
