Here's my gear now:

Spoiler

I'm sitting at 8.2k ES at level 89.

Anything to improve on? I have enough to multimod my dagger if it's worth it.

I would try to get a ring where u can craft %ES on it, the same for amulet, but with the mod already on it, it will help with your life pool

I do everything like you but im still very weak.Blade fall only has 4k dmg.And this build cannot do lab anymore,only ES will die in a sec @@.

I have done the lab many times without problem, remember that all your flasks are bleed removal so they are good against the spiked floor traps.

Looking to start this build as my next character, and I am about 900 Chroms into my Vaal Regalia...

I finally landed on a 4G1B1R... is there anything I can do with this base or should I keep spamming for 4G2B?

Hey, I got it pretty easily, by just first making the Vaal Regalia to magic item and spamming alternations till i got Local Attribute Requirements -36 on the Regalia, was very easy to get the correct colors on it.

But unless u got some sick rolled Regalia that might be a different story.

My current chest

Maybe i should recommend this somewhere, I did the same thing for my own, but it still took me 1300 chromes xD

Hey, I just started out a similar version of your build, it uses life instead of CI for multiple reasons.

Since I'm using Lightning coil, it's much easier to hit that 5G 1B needed for the BF, BV, EK version.

It gives me less EHP but higher mitigation (Perma Vinktar + Coil is strong), a little bit of armor and evasion on gear and the possibility to use HP pots (which become super strong on this build) for annoying content like lab, if the chance orbs ever smile upon me and give me a Skyforth or Shavs, I may reroll on the spot to CI or lowlife.

My main question here is, are there any particular uniques you'd recommend for the life variant of the build?.

Edit: Skill tree be something like this:

For a life based version i think the biggest upside is that u can use coil which u already have nailed :) , I would remove Ming's for life based because it requires more nodes to make up for compared to ES variation.
If u want to clear maps faster i can recommend shadows and dust, but those work well regardless of ES or life variation, otherwise i think its just about getting some good rares, maybe with some added evasion if you dont have to pay more for it.

You could also consider running the MF flask, divine destillate? for some increases to MF and more importantly MAX resistances to make u more durable against spells.

Any tips on how to survive t10+ maps?

Feeling really squishy with my current setup.



Needed to take Charisma passive to run 2 auras, not sure if i should switch one of the dps curses to some defensive one.

Could make run with Elreon ring instead off Ventor, to remove Charisma but it i am getting no drops if i run with zero iir/iiq.

At the moment you have way too much overcapped Spell Block (obviously if you use a Rumi's which I hope you do) so try to drop some of it.
You should either drop your Rathpith for a better ES Shield with Spell Damage if you can or drop that Stone of Lazhwar (as hearcrushing it sounds) and run a Doedre's instead with a high DPS Amulet that has some defensive values on it like % ES, flat ES or an Int roll over like 40 I'd say. You also would need to drop your Ventors, I guarantee you it's not worth using one anyways for this build.

The rest of your is good enough to get you into endgame.

Edit:
Feel free to add me ingame if you have question since I'm neither the creator nor do I check too often here but might be able to give you some thought about passive points/gear choise or even other things.
Running Tier10 maps with they layered defense you have shouldn't be a problem.
Obviously you need the Rumi's with a very high Block roll, a Bismuth, an Atziri Flask for more sustain and damage and a Vinktar's.
You can try to get an Silver Flaks instead of your Atziri Flak if you feel your DPS is high enough and roll either resists or % increased Armour on it to improve your defense even more.

I'm running Charisma too with this Passive Tree at the moment:

You can drop Fore Shaper to grab all your ES nodes eariler.
For Jewels I'm using 2 that have 8% ES each and Energy from withing with 11% at level 88.
My current ES pool is 8700 and my Discipline is only level 19 so I'm sure you can easily reach 8000 ES with your gear which is enough for the Chest you're using.

Another thing to note I do NOT use Vaal Pact since I'm running a legacy Vinktar's so obviously if you run a non legacy one you have to put one point in for that.

Hello, guys.
Usually im not reply on forums, but this build is gg. TS is mega friendly and answered to my stupid and obvius questions with no problems, big up to him. This is my gear atm. My tooltip dps is twice lower than should be. But i didnt take phys dmg nodes near shadow. Anyway, im running thru any map with that flask. Not feeling that i need vinktors atm. Can't try mings becouse of resists, need to change alot of stuff than, becouse all peaces are connected to cap my restits. Anyway, this is next level build. Thanks

Forget about DPS,Im still very weak agianst bosses.Sometimes i die in 1 hit.I have 8k ES.And one more question,how can i maintain flask,im always run out of flask when fighting with bosses.

I'm not the build creator but here I go:

Against bosses you can change the controlled destruction gem for a conc effect one.

This is terrible for clearing but against bosses it allows you to overlap Bladefall procs as well as not reducing your crit chance, this is essential because with more crits, your flasks will recharge much faster against single targets with the surgeons ascendancy. Beware the mana multiplier doe.

Get a belt with the flask modifiers, belts can have 'Flask Duration',' Flask Charges used' and 'Flask Charges gained', all 3 would allow you to keep flasks with a much higher uptime. (It is important to note that while fraction charges aren't displayed in the tooltip, like 1.5 charges, they are calculated ingame, so increased flask charges gained works wonders with the surgeon ascendancy). You can even craft 'Flask Duration' on belts with a lvl 5 Tora.

At 8k ES, with Rumi's and a basalt flask, you should be REALLY hard to 1-shot. My recommendation regarding non-unique flask prefix would be either Inc. Duration or Red. Charges used.

CWDT with inc duration immortal call is good for surviving big spikes of damage, with Vinktars and promise, you can really leech a lot of life during those 0.6 secs of invulnerability.
