Important update:

- Enlighten is no longer used. It was just carried over from the pre-CwC era but you have enough mana to spam SR without it. This frees up a gem socket for anything you like: Vaal Discipline (a.k.a the 'Oh Shit!' button), Vall Lightning Trap (some bosses are not immune to shock), Lightning Warp (for the lab and trials), etc. I couldn't think of any gem that would be a major upgrade. Ideas are welcome.

- This also means cheaper helm coloring (can go with BBRG and put AA in it).

- Dropped Life Leech in favor of more damage. Pain Reaver is enough, except for ele reflect maps.

The choice what to drop is between LL and WM (replace WM with Flammability). I tried dropping both but that proved to be too unsafe in high tiers with mods. But dropping one of them seems to work fine. I decided to drop LL and keep WM because it provides stun and endurance charges, and the effect of Flammability is greatly reduced against the bosses.

Now the tooltip is quite insane and this version may just be the highest DPS of them all.

Wait where was the Life leech originally linked to the gear you posted had no LL gem in it.

Changed LL to CD and tried t16 and shaper yesterday. t16 is as easy as witch WI. But failed dealing with shaper.. Have you tried fighting shaper after changing LL to CD? How was it going? (with roughly same ES and DPS with CD as yours..probably I need to watch more closely your video to understand the tricks better. :-))

Now, as I mentioned, I haven't played a whoe lot and I'm not familiar with all the mtx / outfit people are wearing, so I can't tell what kind of gear you use in your video. I really like that golden look with the cape and weapon effect, so if you wouldn't mind telling me, that would be awesome :)

Hey Kelvynn,

I am missing some ES compared to you. I know my chest could be better and the same could be said with my helmet/staff, as I am missing 6 percent int gain compared to you. Anything else I am missing that can beef up my 6.5K ES? Levels help a lot? Also gotta throw on my crystal belt so that should put me closer to 7k once I get there, but how do I make up the other 2k like what you have? :O

It's a good point though. Safety is more important than speed. Perhaps a separate staff with 4B2R for the Shaper and Uul/Chayla (those two need the 2nd red socket for Inc Duration).

The main survival trick is to always drop the Orb near the Shaper first before starting to tank. And conversely, the most common mistake is forgetting to drop or refresh the Orb.

Hi, thanks for the idea, I'm building this right now.
One question: your current items do not provide you with capped resists:

74 fire
63 cold
78 light

how does it play out in higher tiers? How are you doing in -res/ele weakness maps?

Cheers

Hey Kelvyn!
First of all congrats for your amazing build. Easily the most addicted build that I ever met. :)

Last league I tried the Templar version, but something went wrong. I died a lot of times, reflect was a serious pain, well I got a lot of frustration.
This league I started with the Witch version and the happiness back to my PoE! :)

In your opinion should I have a chance to Berserker version? How do you perform against reflect maps?
Do you have any advices to my actual gear?

Spoiler

Thanks again mate!! Cheers!!
