Man, can't thank you enough for this guide, so detailed!
Trying this build on the HC Essence league, only level 75 currently but it's a blast. I went for unwavering stance about ~10 levels early which may have been a mistake, but I had a super close call from a nasty stun-lock so I was a bit worried. Just using the one Quicksilver too, trying out Granite + Resist flasks with bleed, shock, curse, and freeze immunity just to be safe. Other than that though, following it step-by-step and worked perfect.

If anyone has any tips for map bosses to avoid, etc - anything to keep me alive, please lemme know :D

Kelvynn has done an amazing job to optimise this build and after it became so popular, expect next legue items to cost 100 ex :)) However, speaking of 100ex , there is also room for improvment with the tree asuming you aqure Skyforth :)

Also the emporior mastery jewel works wonders on this build aswell, even though even not with optional gear you can clear all current content.

protip for under max rolled gear and flippers - divine orb

Nah, don't bother with Skyforth. I even updated that question in the Q&A. I haven't tried it myself, but the feedback from my friends who have is negative: Skyforth will let you down too often, you will get stunned at the worst possible time. Combined with zero Int and resist, it's just not worth the 5 points you can save on it. You just spend those points compensating for the loss of Int, ES and resists and get pissed when you die to a stun.

For that amount of currency, you can upgrade your gear in much better ways.

There are not 5 but 15 points in excess to get to unwavering stance. I was thinking it could go up to heart/breath of flame and the int notes around it, also the es boost near EE. Then trow out TC and fill in flamability. With that setup you should lose 50 ish int but gain tons of dmg and es to cover the loss of TC. Astra +1curse and a 60+int/resist ring should cover resists and int loss. Then you fit in a Skyforth and rain fire with ignite dot :) Its all a theory and a much expensive one. Might test it some lovely day when I swim in mirros on standard.

And btw, I don't really understand the prices in Standard. If you can buy a Mirror for 60 ex, then why would anybody pay 150 ex for anything? But that's Standard for you.

Mirrors are 160ex in standard and you can't mirror uniques, but yeah rares worth that much don't get sold very often.
