I read through all of your posts and looked at your characters. Mind if I ask how you would improve my build? I'm following everything word for word since I don't really know too much about the game besides some mechanics. I think I need to upgrade my entire gearset besides my shavs.

The worst part is +fire damage on the dagger - you trigger fire resistance by your EE. Either remove EE or swap your dagger for a more suitable.
You gloves a kinda low ES, lot of space to upgrade.
And get at least 60% spell damage on your shield.

Thank you! I went ahead and looked up some prices for some high es shields with spell damage. Damn, are they expensive. I will definitely start working towards better gear.
Thanks :)

Yeah, gotta be a pain for all of us >.>

So what is the best ascendancy?

Currently elemenalist, 8,8k ES, 13k DoT and 22k Tooltip

Feel like elemenalist is a bit too overkill, since so much damage isn't needed i guess?

Occultist seems good... +100 ES, additional curse, ES regen not interrupted, 32% inc. ES

So you could either run a 3rd curse or drop Doedre and get a better ring.

So what's a good way to lvl this build?

More i play this buld more i feel like he isn't viable if you want to farm end-game stuff.

I'm actually running T14/T15 maps and i really don't feel confident with this build.

It relies on too many points (crit/life leech/curses) if you miss one of them, you feel really weak.

If i don't find a way to improve it i'll switch to something that can dps from distance.

True, on trash this build can just pop in t14+. But it is very effective at bosses - you just get in and melt them.

Yeah but you have to go melee..and some boss use deadly abilities in close fight...with this build based on tornado it's really hard to dodge sometimes.

This build is really good to fast clearing low-mid tiers maps up to T13, but that's all, you get stuck half a second, you die.

ps1 : this build should use witchfire brew potion...
ps2 : will try this similar build : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1746612

Can I get some jewels for critical chance instead of damage?
Cuz I always get 5-6 hit to critical , its a little slow for high tier map

Anyone tried elementalist to occultist ? i think it's a better choice...only losing elemental resistance/pen to win a lot of survivability and +1 curse.

Not just resistances, +1 golem, +100% increased buff from golems (crits & fire damage), confluxes (if you don't choose -50% of elem. reflects), plain elemental damage.

Maybe it looks not-so-good, but i tried to switch from elemntalist to ocultist on other build with one of my old arc-crit characters. I have 145k dps (tooltip, 5L, charges & buffs) on elementalist, got 80k with occultist = 45% less damage. Less damage - more damage to you (longer fights) and less life-leech.

From my perspective - it does not worth it. Better to kill things faster, than have ~4k more energy shield.
