Hi there ! First of all I'd like to thank you for this awesome build, I'm really having fun sweeping everything to death.
But I have some questions ! How far have you been able to go ? So far, I only solo'ed uber Izaro on Essence League, and I am now wondering how far have you been able to go ? Well, which map tier are giving you big troubles or are too hard.
And of course, if you had any new ways to improve this build.

Thank you, and keep up the good work !

EDIT: by the way, I am not using WM since I have gears with very high mana/life leech and high mana regeneration, so I was wondering if Vulnerability would be nice. What do you think ?

Hmm I like the aoe sweep can get. There is this new weapon starforge that I would love to try with this build.

Since it cannot stack any elemental dmg there would be more mana for defensive stuff and maybe turn it into a more bleed oriented build? (With voidhard and vulnerability blasphemy). I've been farming endgame lab for the past couple day to be able to afford a 6l starforge and your build might just be the good candidate.

Do you have any thoughts on that?

I mean, i know that it would mean passing on the shock portion of the blade, because you use RT, but I'm sure the dmg would still be here there.

I've thought about not using the knockback gem and instead use increased critical strikes, replace abyssus by Rat'S nest (wot m8), take the crit wheel near RT instead of RT to have some ok crit and hope I can shock an ennemy relatively quick (With 10 aps, my guess is that it would be feasible).
That would be things that I could test at relatively low cost since it requires only a few changes to tree/gems, but I would certainly go and see if my idea works as non-crit first.

I just wanna make sure i'm not missing anything that would just not make my idea working (I'm not aiming for stellar results) (I'm aware of the properties of your weapon fire dmg's for each red socketed gems). I'm not a super fan of abyssus so I would prolly swap it for a good rare helm or devoto's if I don't go crit. Voidheart would take the slot of Pyre (I guessed you used pyre since on your screenshot u have no cold dmg despise having hatred on.)

Hi, glad you enjoy the build! :)

Currently I'm doing tier 12-13 maps, with no major problems. Highest map I did was lvl 14 Shrine map. DPS-ed Piety with conc. effect. No big deal.
All depend what mods you get on maps. Maybe the toughest map so far for me is the new Gorge map and that huge goat Rektar. He deals tons of phys. so Arctic armor is a must and wouldn't recommend Abyssus. If you manage to get into rhytm with his leaps (and maybe Temporal chain or Enfeeble him), he's not that hard to overcome.

I'm really hoping this build can go as far as being able to kill the guardians. My personal goal is to nail Guardian of the Minotaur once I get to him, and see how the rest goes.

As for improvements, nothing big is planned. I'm currently experimenting with less Endurance charges and higher life pool on the tree. Think it might be beneficial at boss fights.

I got pretty good leech for life and mana from gear too, so using WM mostly for endurance charges generation and extra stun possibility while Leaping. Vulnerabilitiy would be perfectly viable too, especially with Enduring cry combo.

Well, that Starforge certainly looks nice. Ton of phys., extra attack speed and life. That extra 5% more AOE is pretty sweet too. It is a bit expensive though.

As for crit, dunno really. Never tried going that way on this build, but you can certainly try it and see how it goes in synergy with Starforge. Bleeding might be viable with Voidheart. Though not many options tree-wise. I guess you'd take Bloodletting instead of Fending on the tree?

Lately I don't use Knockback gem either, since with Fending notable and high attack speed I already get solid knockbacks on Sweep and can further enhance it with Lion's Roar. So using Added fire damage instead for extra dps. Also since i dove into higher lvl maps 11-12+, I'm using Devoto's Devotion instead of Abyssus for extra safety in high phys. boss fights.

Yeah, it was Pyre..using it here and there.

If you're gonna try Starforge and go with your crit and/or bleed plans, please let me know how it went!
I also think a bigger HP pool would be very nice ! High AoE damage monster are really threatening, but at least, Leap Slam allows us to escape it.
And yes atm I use Devoto's Devotion instead of Abyssus, it's too life-threatening in high end tier maps. Arctic Armor ftw !
I really hope you will manage to kill Minotaur and upload a video of it hehe.
I will try Endurance Cry and Vulnerability, it seems nice, thank you !

Keep up the good work !

Video is coming up for sure, I just need to land a few lucky map drops and I'm there.

Would you mind posting your gear here? I'd like to see what a fellow Sweeper uses for the job.
