i just gotta ask what will you replace for the tempest shield?

I have a CoDT + Ice Spear + Vengence + Power charge on crit
I will be switching Ice Spear w/ Tempest Shield

"

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

I've done this build is prior league and I've done high level maps. Trash mob dps was significantly raised by 100 - 200%. Make sure you have enfeeble. You can't expect to do higher maps without very good gear. I took Immortal call out of my build and I keep 3 endurance charges up and I seem to do better without it.

The game is harder now, if that wasn't the case, the top 50 players would not be RIP-ing every day. You must use the Mayweather Technique in the video in harder zones. You can't expect to tank a whole mob in the most difficult maps with any build. Whirl in - proc fortify - whirl out. You should be in and out before they can even think about attacking. Then attack from the outside and fire-walk in. Might even consider grabbing an extra endurance charge for bandit reward instead. I'm not there yet in tempest league so I don't know. You can swap in projectile weakness curse instead too to knock enemies away from melee distance. 6th link adds barely any dps, you can link blind in there but blind does nothing vs casters. Blind on Golem / Tempest shield would work too.


On Another note,
So. I swapped in a shield. We gain roughly 5% hp w/ a shield. While losing 22% dps. Dropped from ~18k dps to ~14k. I did not respec any points but I am even wondering if using a shield is even worth it. I did not expect such a dramatic dps drop. Seems like many times, survival is best when you can kill even faster.

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

total lie (atm on warband cheapest 6L is 20chaos (bad one corrupted)

He's play on Tempest, we talking about Tempest so why should we care about price in Warband?

Thanks a ton for the feedback YeahPete, and thanks again for the build!

How do you handle chaos damage btw? I'm currently lvl 67 on Merciless act 3 and its pretty easy, but I just recently met some Glade Mamabs, and got nearly 1-shotted. I think there's a ton of them in the Gardens so im a teeny bit worried about going in there. Were your chaos resist -60 all throughout Merciless?

Holy cow someone is raging. rofl.

Fortify reduces all damage from "hits" to include chaos dmg from Mamba's. I had self cast enfeeble at that time too. My chaos was -60 through that whole area. You can also grab an amethyst flask.

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!

Phase run is pretty useless. We have so many attacks per second and it procs so little.



The removal of CwDT enduring cry and forcing everyone to use fortify instead in kinda pissing me off at the moment. Fortify support gem as it stands is another slap in the face to elemental builds. We have no leech and it does nothing for projectiles. I did some theorycrafting in my sleep and I will be moving this build over to physical. I am sick of using whirling blades to proc fortify and when I have been stuck by a tiny rock or some other bullshit, I have had some scary moments.

I will be doing some testing before further progression. Don't get me wrong this build is not bad. it has gotten me to lvl 85 running 72 maps, but this is not the "best" and that what I am aiming for.

If you know how armor works, the higher the damage, the less effective armor is.

Wish YOU knew how armor works. If you don't stack evasion, how can you expect to evade attacks? Same with armour. So sick and tired of this old myth perpetrated by uneducated players.

Facetanking ambrius with abyssus on with 47k armor pregranite ... you go do that with your 'exponential defenses' and let me know how it goes.

Now I've seen it all folks a guy from STANDARD insulting my build.
Running around in circles is not facetanking.
Link real facetank video without running in circles like a bitch and then get back with me.
I love how the video says it's a HC char but when I check out the build/items it clearly says STANDARD. You see I am alive and well in "Tempest league" and when I get a high enough level you will see all that shit armor is useless against any type of elemental damage.
Next, the cost of that 6-L Astral Plate alone is worth more than every item in my build combined.
I wish I could afford gear like that but my build still accomplishes much without investing hundreds of hours into the game.
There are more damage types than physical that exist in this game. 47k Armour = overkill period.
Corrupted blood, Chaos Dmg, elemental dmg + shocked ground = RIP.

Oh, he RIPPED? Exactly why I state in my build it isn't worth it to invest in armor. [Removed by Support] Karma is a bitch isn't it?

In my build, on 72 maps, I facetank EVERY BEYOND BOSS. I can stand there, in a single spot eat there damage and tear them to shreds while everyone in my party runs in circles. Go do that with your 47k armor. Oh, it won't happen w/o all that hp.

PS. I am reworking my build due to the mechanic changes in 2.0 since more physical and I have something up my sleeve but will be crunching the numbers and ARMOR isn't the solution. Something I won't do is insult other peoples builds in there own threads. My build is good and effective but it must evolve with the mechanic changes that WEREN'T MENTIONED IN PATCH NOTES. I had to figure this shit out myself and yes, this causes things to change.

Tree links don't work and PoE website says it's the old tree, can i get working tree links plz?

Hey YeahPete,

I'm level 86 atm and could use some guidance. Tool tip dps is around 22kdps in my hideout with auras.
I got 5,5k hp. I don't know what to go for next. Maybe alpha's or a new claw?
You got two endgame passive trees, physical crit and elemental molten strike. Which one is the strongest?

Gear:


I'm at Warbands btw.


Edit: Weird that it showed up as the same ring.. the preview was clean. Just bought a Alpha's :)

Your gear is showing up as the same ring. Please click each piece of gear.
The higher maps are more of a gearcheck. I'm glad you've made it that far. There are many options to choose from here and the preference is up to you. The cheapest Path is to stay elemental and get around 30% crit chance which is enough to keep flasks up facing Azuri.
Physical spec is more expensive: Coil + Abyssus.
You can continue the Elemental Build the way I had it and get Belly, Alpha's, and Soul Taker Siege Axe.
You can Go Physical Reave w/ 1H + Soul Taker.
You can go Physical Dual Strike w/ dual claws.
Ele Reave w/ 1H + Doryani

The next step is acquiring the best possible piece of gear, 1 item at a time, starting w/ your weakest link.
Never get Alpha's until you have belly.
