Reduce mana does not work on auras or buffs why would you put reduced mana with haste and Harold of lightning? That makes absolutely no sense unless my head got stuck up my ass again

Where do you see anything about linking reduced mana with aura's?



Apparently some people question the ability of this character to do lvl 75 maps. The way I play this game is I focus on masters and trading at the beginning, then work on maps. This build is perfectly capable of doing higher level maps. I just prioritize masters early on.
I hang out in global 820 for masters missions.
I stick w/ 68 maps because I leave my map to join other peoples masters missions and I share my missions I encounter with other people. It's slower to progress upwards this way, but you get a-lot of master quests this way. Good luck chaining master missions 60 days into a league. You are on your own after the 1st month.

I'll grind up to a lvl 75 map and make a video. This build is very endgame viable. I don't really have to use fortify very often in the lower maps anymore either. I should have the video up by the Tuesday Aug 11th.

In the leveling section you say that in normal you farm docks for the claws.. but you cant do that anymore due to the fact that docks is lvl 29 or smthing like that..

Hello,

TY deleted that. We just farm Dried Lake now. TY for the catch.

Elemenatal Damage on Claws better in this Build?

Yes, because elemental damage is boosted by the more multiplier of weapon elemental damage skill gem. I had around 4K dps in cruel Dried Lake. I farmed this region until lvl 64 and completly regeared to about 8k dps. I would not advance until you've aquired the gear I specified. Stuff should be cheap as hell since we are pretty far into the league. U can prolly get good shit for 1 chaos each to get you to merciless dried lake and to get your dps up to 8k unbuffed.

Start w/ your gloves:
Gloves: >9% attack speed, >80hp > 1 resist - I've already sold a few of these at 1 chaos each. I think my old ones r for sale for 3 chaos but u can easily find better cheap ones. For an added bonus look for elemental damage as well.

Your weapons are a bit slow and physical dmg isn't boosted by weapon elemental dmg support gem.
Weapons: >1.79 aps, Weapon elemental damage, elemental damages. Search poe.trade for

Next upgrade your Helm:
Search poe.trade for hp>80 and total resists >60. Look for a helm that you can add a 2nd resist, or a tri-resist helm. Stun recovery is a plus. Just searched, a ton for only 1 chaos.. Heres 2 I have for sale for 3 chaos.

Boots: your boots seem ok for this level.
Jewelry: Hp, Resists, Weapon elemental damage. You need weapon ele dmg on that jewelry.

Not sure why you added the evasion to all your gear. I always add a 2nd resist. Getting extra armor / evasion is pretty useless until we are in high level maps. When you got plenty of resists you can then unspec those resist nodes and spec into more HP, damage, or. Maybe you can switch out GMP w/ Faster Attacks. I feel it makes the build much smoother

From my gear section in main post w/ my stats @ lvl 64:
Merciless Gear: - At lvl 64 I swapped over to Merciless Gear. You should be able to progress all the way through Merciless w/ this gear. Here's the stats:
HP: 3,582
Resists: 120,180,135,0
Tooltip DPS w/ Fire Golem Wrath, HoT: 7,994
Tooltip DPS w/ Frenzy Charges: 9,958
Estimated DPS w/ Balls: 21k.
Not bad for lvl 64.

49 Life on Hit
8 Attacks Per Second
2.3 Hits On an enemy
901 HP per second @ lvl 64
Here's what I respecced to:

im doing lvl 73-74 maps with NO problem. everything is just melting. tempest ofc.

Hey, thanks for the build!
Im currently on Merciless, and it's really easy and it seems impossible to die.
I don't quiete have the gear that you specified, however, which worries me abit.

Could you take a look at my gear and skills and suggest some improvements? I've tried to look for a 5-linked armor on poetrade, but man they are expensive.

The videos are a great addition, but I think you should look into fixing the audio. There's alot of static and it's hard to hear what you say.

You can buy nice 6l armour for 8 chaos or less and 5l for 0.5C...

I see you have a 5 link armor and looks better than mine and atm I am wrecking 71 maps.
If I was you first thing I'd do is master craft a 3rd resist.
Second thing is get new rings. In my book, hp is more important than dmg. I see your in warbands. If I was in warbands I would get more hp and just swap enfeeble curse w/ elemental weakness, assassins mark if you have high crit chance on gloves.
Next thing you need is master craft weapon elemental damage on claws. That is more damage than the added elemental damages.
Next thing I get is a good Helm. 2 high resists minimum 25 each resist and 80+ hp 1 resist must be cold because we will switch to alpha's when price drops. Get tri-resist or stun recovery.
Boots next.
then glvoes.
Then weapons. Weapons don't matter too much, mostly speed. Aura's do 9k unbuffed dps at my lvl 85 which is still plenty for the maps I'm doing.
Remember we do rings and amulet last to cover whatever resists we are missing.


Everything looks pretty solid. I'm not familiar w/ the prices in Warbands but you pretty much need a bit more hp on everything. I think I specified minimum 60 hp on each piece of gear before moving through merciless, and after merciless dried lake no less than 80 hp per piece of gear.

On buying items guys patience is key. Sometimes if I don't find what I need at the price I need it, guess what, I don't buy it. When you have minimal time to play the game you can only earn so much currency in a given time. Best bet is before you get on and before you get off, do a quick search on poe.trade for the weakest link in your gear. If nothing seems reasonable don't buy, and you can always craft that way I showed you. I already sold pretty much everything I crafted In my video even the blue items. I edited my loot filter a bit to only show quality and max socketed gear for crafting.

We don't even need a 6L for this build. 6th link only adds a about 6% dps.



ON another note. A sad note to everyone. The mechanics of dual claws have changed. I did testing today. I was feeling like I haven't been leeching as much as last league, even though the claws have more life on hit. It's true. :(. I did slow motion. We only leach on 1 melee hit and 1 ball hit per enemy with the attacking claw, even if multiple balls hit the enemy. If you look closely at the wording, it specifies 15 life per each enemy hit by "ATTACKS". SO even if they are hit by multiple balls, they only leech with that attacking claw and once. Extremely less leech than before. So what does this mean? It means we should adjust our build. It's pretty pointless to dual wield in this manner even though we're badass, and the build is still very effective, there is much room for improvement.

What attacks while dual wielding?
Dual Strike is the only attack that will life on hit from both weapons.

Offhand w/ molten strike?
A shield obviously. Any other weapon will alternate. A shield will also allow CoDT Tempest Shield.
Notable Unique Shields:
Aegis Aurora: gives weapon ele dmg.
Great Old One's Ward: Attack Speed, Physical dmg, Hp, Spell Block
Jaws of Agony: Super easy way to get power charges
Saffell's Frame: Max Resists

Also, Any Rare shield w/ life and ton's of resists will work. Then we can spec out of every resist node and into more offensive nodes. Would have to spec out of dual wielding nodes.

Elemental Reave:
Notable Unique Offhands:
Relentless Fury: Free onslaught on culling strike
Soul Taker: Free Blood Magic


I think I will stick w/ molten strike till it's nerfed. The damage is still more than dual strike because of point blank, but I will throw in a shield. Great Old One's Ward and jaws of agony looks promising. Hell I might even go for a hp / resists rare. Our build just gained more hp / block.

Hey man! i have been using your guide and i am level 79 right now and i most say i like the build! however now that claws works different and you recommend a shield with (CoDT Tempest Shield) i just gotta ask what will you replace for the tempest shield? - Also i would like to add on the question about endgame with this build, i am doing 72-73 maps right now i have 80+ life on everything however everytime i jump into a pack or 2-4 mobs start attacking me i will drop down to 50% health in a blink of an eye so you need to just pop potions 24/7 to stay alive So my real question is have you actually done 80+ maps with this build before with the proper Uniques you recommend as i can't see this working in the long run, jump into a pack get oneshotted GG

Update i went with this setup, CoDT - Tempest shield - Assassin's Mark - Immortal call and moved the phase run and blood rage to my wep and, Vaal haste in a ring. probably not the best i can do, but if you have any tips i will gladly take them!
