Drop Deep Thoughts, it's not needed with CwC.

Replace that jewel near VP with Fertile Mind ASAP. You really want to convert all those Dex nodes to Int.

Your rare jewels are very weak, you can find much better for like 5c.

Where is Doedre's Damning? Your resists can't be that bad to require both rings and the belt to cover for them. At worst, you may need a rare ring with 50+ Int and high resists, that's 1-3c usually.

Take Diamond Skin! With those points from Deep Thoughts. That's why your resists suck.

17% WI? But 18% cost nothing in this league. 1% isn't much but it's almost free.

If you have a Blessed orb, apply it to the Astramentis.

500 ES chest is an obvious upgrade candidate. Boots, gloves too. Especially the boots. Start with the chest. Then craft a belt. Then look for boots and gloves. It usually takes a couple rounds of upgrading to better items until your stuff is good enough for the endgame. Get something better, sell your old stuff.


Added Diamond Skin, my resists are bad because most of my gear has lightning resist, which yeah, I couldn't get any better so far, an ingame friend has helped me alot with most of it. It's a matter of time, I'm grinding alot but RNGesus isn't really with me.


Equipped Doedre's Damning, But why tho? Since I don't have a 5L chest to have 3 curses yet nor looking into investing 5L into the current one.

Rerolled Astramentis, got +15 on the last Blessed Orb which is nice.

About the 17% on weapon idk, I was dumb when I bought it like that, I realized a bit late, aswell with the helm. Now the helm is pricey as fk.

Thanks for the advices!

Why 2 sulphur flasks?
Or do you just love having 3 uses on it.

^ exactly. I didn't bothered about 'em since I'm not doing endgame stuff yet.

Thank you very much!

Since I've met a few people kind enough to donate their old items, my time to do the same hoping it may help someone.

Kelvynn, thank you for awesome build.

Lvl 92

1723 Int
8600 ES
6738 Dps in hideout with 2 golems

After 88 i took socket near Whispers of Doom with Brute force solution, and still need to replace one rare jewel with Turmoil.


What jewel nodes are you using for brute force, I assume:
1 near Elementalist
1 near Diamond Skin

thanks!
heres another question that might be silly but im not a veteran. why not just focus on the cold damage of icestorm instead of changing it to fire

Because it allows you to benefit from both cold and fire elemental damage. So Snowforged gives 50% increased damage rather then 25, and you can use a wider range of jewels, and the easy fire and cold damage nodes are both useful, like Fire and Frost walker.

Another question - I know I'm only lvl 53 during making this post but I've tried keeping my resists to the cap (75) is it important or should I focus more so on int and keep my resists around 60ish?
whats the best color/gems for the helm?

always try to keep your resists capped. yes, this build is so freaking tanky that it can get away with noncapped cold- or lightres (fire should really be capped all the time due to reflect), but it isnt worth it to squeeze some few int or ES on your items at the cost of not having capped res.

you dont have to fully overcap for ele weakness though. but you really should be at 75% res in a merciless non-ele-weakness maps.

Thank you very much - currently they're all capped with a 950(?) int. However I've been dying lately and not sure what the reason to that is. Just started act 4 cruel - any tips you could give me?

Tanksitall is the character I'm using for this build.
