When you were using Eclipse Solaris Crystal Wand.... What Gems did you have in it.


I bought it but never used it. i blew a load of chromes trying to get the right links, and in the end, as long as you are resist capped you can normally push though with mediocre gear to lvl 72, when i can get the dagger.

I am not dying a lot, but i have been down this route before, where the build starts strong and the dps is awesome, but you die all the time endgame and con not lvl or gear up past a certain point.

Its clear that the unique flasks are the key to surviving in this build but i will need to farm low to mid tear maps for quite a while unless i get lucky. a Taste of hate is like 4.5ex and the other 2 unique are about 65-80c which is about an ex anyway(not sure of exact exchange atm). In either case i wont be using them for some time.

I cant use blasphemy as part of this builds power is the clear mind duel which requires me to reserve no mana.

Anyway, i was wondering if this build always generated just 1-2 charges or if this is the result of the changes to triggers.

I am not sure what is your problem with trigger gems since this build is using none except the CWDT - Chaos Golem - Tempest Shield setup, which is unaffected by trigger gems changes.

I think you are forgetting the fact that this build uses a 2nd Blade Vortex setup to generate power charges via PCOC and to curse Warlord's Mark for the LEECH. NOT the endurance charges. Endurance charges are a plus. You NEED the leech from Warlord's Mark as it is your only source of leech until you buy a Vessel of Vinktar (flask).

I am guessing YOU not having enough LEECH is what is killing you, not the lack of endurance charges. With a Basalt + Granite flask setup (like the OP is using) you should have enough physical mitigation to make endurance charges redundant.

Until you get your hands on a Vessel of Vinktar, I advice you not to forget about your BV setup for cursing packs / generating power charges (this should be UP always), and to have quick fingers to use an instant life flask you should be always wearing.

2nd BV for Warlords is essential for sure.

I'm not sure I like this build for HC. I'm at 4.8k HP, capped resists and -60 chaos with no 30% chaos flask resists yet (afraid to do merci labs since I haven't played in almost 2 years and this is my first time doing labs).

I'm level 82 and stuck doing most T3ish maps and nearly every map boss that does chaos damage or the channel boss almost kills me instantly.

So many T2-T4 boss fights feel like I could die at any time. I don't have any unique flasks yet, but I find myself having to roll a lot of alts just to get mods that I can do.

I partied a few times with others using totems and their clear speed is not only faster but it's way safer since they never go near the mobs and have no problem doing things like double unique bosses, etc..

I feel the unique flasks will add an insane amount of survivability to you (if you have taken the flask nodes ect). Of course that doesn't do much in regards of chaos damage taken, but I'm sitting at about ~89% phys dmg reduce, 75% dodge ect. (while all flasks are active)

In regards to chaos resist... I'm sure you can equip that for specific bosses... like just get some chaos resist gear (gloves, boots, amulets) and equip it if you know you're facing a heavy chaos dmg boss. Should be fine. :)

Also once you have the unique flasks (especially vinktar) you also have very good sustain. With warlords mark + vinktars you'll leech incredibly well. But you need those flasks for it. :)
nice build

I dont really run t1-t5 maps, even with AoW released, but the only chaos dmg boss you should care about is *maybe* Museum Maligaro and of course, Core Maligaro. With the 1st I never had any problem. 5,4k Hp 1,8k Mana, unique flask setup (no Atziri's Promise). 25% chaos res on boots. With Vinktar's I simply leech through the chaos dmg.

Maybe try switching your Essence Worm for a Ming's Heart for those bosses?

Anyway I think the build is solid enough, did corrupted t15 Overgrown Ruin deathless, +Vulnerability // +100% Dmg as Lightning Dmg // +50%Hp // +35%Boss dmg. It was somewhat tough since I was lvl 90 and barely any crit nodes, so clunky flask recharge at the boss fight, but certainly doable.
Master Surgeon is a noob trap in my opinion since master Alchemist is way better
The 10% lightning pen Vinktar flask is shit for pathfinder right? The 20% convert variant is mandatory or is the lightning damage to spells good?
