This really is one hell of a build but there is one thing I don't get. Why don't you just use some of these boots to generate the charges?


because the build already uses alot of uniques with no resist on it. blooddance is nice but they dont have life, they dont have resist on them so it will be super difficult to cap resist.

and bloodrage is way easier to use.

you degen a bit yes, but it gives extra leech, extra attackspeed and automated frenzy charge generation in maps. its a nobrainer actually

For higher tier maps you need at least one of the following:

Reach of the council + a 5Link OR
Good phys bow (e.g. Lioneye's Glare) +6Link.


How does this build go with a 5L Lioneyes and a 5 Link chest?

Unfortunately I can't afford any 6L's or a Reach of the Council. But if the build is still good with 5L's I want to give it a go!


Well its still viable with a 5L, but you will be alot slower in terms of clearspeed, i.e. you cant oneshot everything.

But getting a tabula is not that expensive, and you can get corrupted 6L chests/low evasion based 6L white chests for under 1ex, so its not that expensive


Ok cool... i actually have a tabula. Is build really squishy though at t8-t10 maps with tabula?

no, its fine for these kind of maps. For testing in standard I ran a necropolis map with a tabula, lioneyes glare, drillneck, snakebite, essence worm. The rest was cheap rares, so it was really budget. Dps felt good, boss was easy, overall nice to farm. Still reached 6000 life or so. That gear is definetely enough to get started into yellow maps and farm currency to upgrade into a 6Lqueen or reach of the council

How good of an upgrade is a +1 Drillneck with this?

it roughly adds about 20% aoe for clearing and 20% more damage against bosses with large hitboxes (malachai, uber atziri) so it has its use, but it definetely is an endgame upgrade /probably the last thing you should buy.

Hey, Im still new to PoE mechanics, but what about dropping Acrobatics and taking instead Iron Reflexes + using Belly of the Beast instead of Queen of the Forest? not a big fan of evasion type.
Great build, I'm having a lot of fun. One question, regarding uber lab, I'm a bit of a noob with labs but how do you fight izaro exactly? Usually I pop the totem just as izaro pops then run to avoid his first attack then run circles to disable his buffs. Until here I'm doing fine but what about the fight? Do you stay at distance? Or do you just facetank his melee and use your potions left and right while bursting him down with frostwall?

well its possible to do that, but i'm sure you will feel alot tankier with evasion and acro. if you havent played a character with 15000 evasion or higher, you should give it a try.

i posted a video how to take on izaro you can check it out. basicly its like you said, place totem, stay in a distance. charge up frenzy charges, then spam frostwalls on top of him and burst him down. do not tank anything. once he is distracted by the totem and attacks it, you have free time to cast frostwalls and attack with little danger

Love this build. First guy I built to level 90 in two years. I hope they don't nerf the Reach of the Council because I want to play it again next league.

Regarding end game, instead of going for that three point gem socket in the bottom right (with two evasion nodes) has anyone gone after Fatal Toxins or Dirty Techniques?
