Hey man, i got to say im having mighty fun with this build, probably smoothest gameplay i had so far, no insanely priced enablers, lot of damage and after swap to daggers nice clear speed.
Im just wondering one thing, would not vessel of vinktar with lightning penatration be great here? Im sure this question has been here before, but i was not able to search trough this huge topic, so please just tell me why it is not recommended.
Also, any tips regarding what should i focus on with gearing would be great... my gear is mostly mediocre at best so far...

at that point - just craft daggers
Two good crafted daggers will give you about 60% more DPS. Other than that - your gear is fine

That is actually what i was planning to go for, thanks for confirmation.
What about that vinktar though?

I tried it, wasn't impressed. Very high charges consumption - only one use on bosses. Leech doesn't do anything, we hit leech cap with only 0.5% from paragon of calamity. Both atziri's promise and wise oak are better, and we can't replace our basalt and sulphur flasks because we need curse and freeze removal mods for maps.

Depth 470 Aul the crystal king down :D
He was oneshotting me with almost any of his abilities, you basicly have to dodge everything. Took me 5 tries to finally kill him. Uber elder feels like a kitten compare to Aul.

Any tips for this boss Tormented Temptress on the Whakawairua Tuahu map???
i can't even bring her shields down to do damage.

It's called proximity shield. You have to be in melee range to deal damage to that monster

One of several reasons I LOVE the spire add to the build is that spire is considered the source of the damage.

Sucks for leech - AMAZEBALLS for the proximity bubbles I have met. I've not seen that boss though - so it may be coded different from other proximitys (I doubt it).

Would Brand also be considered inside the shield (for shock on controlled destruction spires?)

A quick question since i am starting to think about crafting my own daggers.

To get a base, I could get a magic one, use alterations until chaos damage, regal it, annul useless with the chance of annuling wrong affix.

Or I could get a rare one, that has already chaos damage and the least amount of useless affixes and try to annul there.

So which is better depends on luck and how many alterations I use on average to get chaos versus the more annulments I use when having a rare.

And if I annul the chaos damage, do I have to scoure and start over again?

If anyone has some experience, which way seems to be better, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Annuls are almost 30c already. I don't think it's worth trying to annul even two bad mods

Does anyone murder uber elder deathless?
Lost 3 portals today.
Isnt greates result.

I do.
I even killed uber elder last 5 times with +quantity gear (goldwyrm boots and the pariah ring) with 50% mana reserved by wrath. It was the worst loot that I hard in this game from uber :D
3 quivers, 2 rings and about 8-9 shaped/elder rares. No jewel

p.s. what's the difference between killing uber deathless and with 3 deaths? Unless you are leveling while farming uber elder at the same time...
I leveled from 93 to 94 while farming uber elder and t16 maps, but it's still risky and I would not recommend doing that.

It's a pity to lose experience 8 t16 maps.
But playing without stopping for take 95 lvl is too boring.
I will try different combinations: kaoms roots + traps, roots + cwdt, no roots setup.

i was wondering how much do you guys dps and life have?

can you guys printscreen it?

i have around 65k to 130k dps

and 4,4k life.

Any innovative thoughts on improving my build version or not?

5-link lightning spire trap
single target DPS is just disgusting. I have not idea how to calculate lightning spire trap DPS, but 3 traps and casting arc on top of that feels close to 4-5 million single target DPS

I literally kill t16 bosses as fast as my 4.5 mil DPS blade flurry champion from delve league

And probably just buy +1 lvl gems inpulsa's (with lvl 4 empower), it's like 30-50ex for about 15% DPS upgrade

(Or +1lvl gems and +2lvl duration gems :D There is one on sale for 3 mirrors).

I LOVE the crazy!

The elephant in the room - I'm dying to know how you survive with that fire?

Spire definitely seems worth the gem pressure at every level - no longer a one trick pony - we now have two serious punches - spray slaughter and fireworks of bossy death, with mechanics different enough to support each other well.

As for gem pressure -

Molten shell's cast timing seems a good fit for autocast, but the actual buff (some armor, sometimes) seems weak.

Since you are an experimenter, have you considered moving Immortal call to your Surge+Increased Duration link? They synergize very intentionally if you have a source of endurance charges. And that saves a gem slot on redundant duration support (two if you choose to give up flame dash on your main weapon set, although "free" surge on movement is tough to give up).

Word of warning, I think cold snap and Immortal call on hit are not number crunchy choices but mechanical choices - when there is a a very nasty barrage of blows, or very nasty ground effects - it auto neutralizes before a human can react. Immortal call intentionally kept mostly on might be better though (it negates EVERY hit even the first). Would love to know if the ground effect thing is real.

Leech on Orb seems weak for the slots and the extra button. If I have to hit a button I want it to matter. I get my leech (and endurance charges) from warlord mark autocast... but Watcher's eye wrath leech is popular in your price range (3ex). Another option is trying alternate leech enchanted boots.

Getting culling on SOMETHING makes the last (toughest) 10% of everything just go away, and it lets some tickle spells like brand and orb get kills for Onslaught or Innervate or other on kill triggers (feels nice but probably incidental).

But these are mostly the thoughts of a crazy noob :P

Does lightning spire trap replace storm brand?
