Quick question, do you think its better to run IIQ support instead of IIR? (cant run both, too much dps loss). Mostly running/farming t10/11/12s right now with more or less 60/30 worth of mods.

If you have to choose in Standard then yes, IIQ is more powerful than IIR. That's why GGG discontinued that gem and made it legacy: IIQ is simply too OP.

Hi guys,

i'm returned after a long time to the poe, and i started the new essence league with firestorm. Now i'm lvl90 and using this great build :) I can easily farm all of the 1-15 maps, and über lab.
But i did some chimera runs and always failed:/ i don't have much currenies, now cca 30 chaos and 1 exalt and some or more minor currencies.
Here is my gear and flask setup (my profile is public for skill tree:

Spoiler

Gear:

Flasks:

i know the int stat stands above the others, but my budget is low now:/

what can i do for more survivability ? i use only 2 curses because of resist capping.
Stats in town:
1470 int
6500 ES
5500 avg dmg
and all res are capped( fire: 110, cold 84, lightning 75)

all in all, it is a great build and have fun to play with it:)

BR, Adam
ps. sorry for my bad english, it is not my native.

ps2: thanks for the awesome videos Kelvynn and the music are great :)

You forgot to take Snowforged. Drop the useless Shaper, drop Catalyst temporarily, get 1 more level, get Snowforged.

Your chest has ZERO Int, i.e. it's not a chest for this build.

Why aren't you using 3 curses? Yes, Chimera without TC hurts. Although not as much as Hydra without TC.

FC in the gloves does nothing. Leap Slam is an attack, not a spell.

You really need Enlighten lv 3. You really should have one after this much time in the league.

Auxium in the Essence league? Spite essences are cheap. Get an Int Crystal belt.

Sorrow of the Divine is useless. ZO doesn't work with VP.

You are capable of farming Uber Lab. Making some currency for moderately good items shouldn't be a problem. Uber Lab is always profitable if you farm it with max keys (kill Argus and let Izaro get buffs).

thanks for the advice Kel:)

hmm i'll use some regrets and reallocate skill points follow your directions:)
if i use the 3rd curse then my resist goes down under the bottom of the frog's ass:/
i know the FC is useless, i just lvl up till i can use the 3rd curse (i have the ring):)
but the chest with int and 700++ ES is more than 1-2 exalts, but i hope i'll have it one day:)))
the cold big hits doesn't stun me if i use Crystal belts instead of auxium? i have a lot of high tier essences

thank you for your help again:))

Kelvynn i try change my config to AoF with dual pernadus signet(non legacy)
and .... i got same DPS :) but resist going down...

avg. dmg in ho with golems without any flask
10792 dmg with Pyre + CD
10623 dmg with dual perandus signet + CtF + AoF
on tree i remove only Fight and Steel and get AoF nothing more change to compare DPS

so its not good for me even if i got more resist in gear
mayby on legacy signet but i cant check that now on essence league :P



PS
my new belt :)


compare to old

well, with that beautiful belt, your fire res problem should be fixed^

I assume switching to dual perandus doesnt benefit you that much since you already have unusually high amounts of +% increased int. (WI + black sun + 1 perandus ring + 2x super expensive jewels.) diminishing returns are a bitch.

Hi guys, wonna show my version of this marvelous build to you.
At first, I was following guide, but found it uncomfortable for me in that version, so.. i decided to do some changes )

WM aura was good, but in CWDT setup with CoH Firestorm it works good as well for me, even better for some situations. Also I'm good even without Fortify. Using Lightning Warp triggers MoD and Commandment of Flames enchantment when you jump in. CoF deals a lot of dmg with +25% penetration, stuns and ignites pretty often. And I just don't like Leap Slam.

I felt myself too slow, so I decided to run with Haste :) I don't know how my real dps has changed with castspeed boost, but 3.48 cast per sec is really great.

And without changes in auras I'm farming Shaper and Uber. Not deathless, but it coz of laziness. The only things that kill me - Shapers' balls, Uber double blast(Normal double flame blast is ok).. and I can't facetank Phoenix.
As the result - I survive Shaper's Teleport Slam without enfeeble, Fortify, and even witout flasks. He deals about 11k damage to me. So, no problem with defence. Jump into the T16 monstars pack without precasting even with vulnurability or ele weakness mods(with Bismuth Flask).

Why not Unwavering Stance? You cann't evade attacks, and with enfeeble enemies misses a lot.(Yes, I don't use Enfeeble atm. I've made that decision much earlier, when have been using tri-curse)
At first, I've been using Valyrium ring, then changed it to Skyforth. It wasn't really neccessary, but who cares )

Why AoF? I need a lot of resists.. and it was really pain to find this gear and cap the resists with only 5 items. In the comparison between CtF and Controlled destruction, I'd get about +1k dps for 15% more dmg, but my rings give me a little more then just tooltip dps.

Enlighten lvl 4 and ench -20% dicipline reservation aren't neccessary, but you need to get passive -4% then.

I've been thinking about dropping ES nodes for int, but it really doesn't change a lot.. It's fine as it is )

Sry for my english. I've tried to do my best ^_^

I've really loved this build, thx, Kelvynn, for your efforts.

Hi Nice Build! i hope GGG dont Nerf this Build for any Reason...I have a question: how you able to run on 3 Auras? greez

I got hold of a Signet just to see my stats and boy does it make me want to get a +1 Astramentis even more. I just haven't seen any for sale lately on Essence :(

With signet I had 1867 Int, 11948 ES. Tooltip in Town is 8824.
using a Doedre still 1,762 Int, 11479ES. Tooltip in town is 8237.

Currently level 94.

Full gear:








Definitely one of the funnest builds I've played. Once I get a hold of a +1 Astramentis I will be so hyped to go for my first 100! I usually trade my gear once I get bored with a build but I've worked on this gear all through Essence so this will more than likely be my trophy character, so if I evr do get bored with it - it'll get dusty :D

Shaper is down.


No special loot but, well, I am just happy to have finished the game. Thanks for this build!

+1 Astra makes such a big difference! Finally, FINALLY crafted one today. So many RIPs, lol...
Added my legacy Perandus Signet, and got ~130 int boost.



Now, I just have to finish leveling Haku to 8 (so close), so I can start crafting these badass boots...



If I can get T1 resists and int on them, they'll be mirror quality. Pretty excited to start trying.
