One small question: i can not drop purity until i fix my res, should i use envy and drop wrath or anger?

Envy have the smallest dmg boost from auras, so you should just turn off it and use purity of elements. Side note: your wrath should be linke with generosity (in boots), and Flesh offering anywhere (also in armour in your case)

Envy should actually be one of the stronger auras due to the added chaos damage scaling with poison, and also because mobs generally have less chaos resistance compared to elemental resistance. So I'd probably drop either wrath or anger in favour of Envy.
P.s. I think you managed to miss a "quote close" Matematikas ;)

As i looked at poe wiki it have lowest flat dmg added, but with monster resistances, maybe its really worth to drop an elemental dmg aura :/ yeah i looked 3 times fo quote close and failed.. :D

Im absoloutly loving this build, I've gotten my United in dream which leaves me with 1 gemslot open (as I would remove one aura gem I assume?)

My question is, what aura do I remove and what do I add instead? (I've turned off Wrath for now)

It's never enough gem slots for us! And if you want to use envy, you should drop Purity of elements. But to drop that, you need to cap resistances without the aura :) If you can't do that for now, drop an elemental aura, as recommended at end of page 80

Edit: your characters are not visible due privacy settings. If you have somehow more than 1 gem slot empty, you can run CWDT+Immortal call, if not running it yet and some of us dropped vaal haste, to run that.

There, my characters should be visible now.
Im running Envy over Wrath atm. I can't drop the purity of elements either as I have not yet sorted my resistances on gear. Would It be better to temporarily run Wrath over Envy?

Also, I don't run IC combo, U run zombies instead (since I removed unset ring)

Edit. I'm also trying to be overcapped, enough so that I can run elemental weakness maps, currently struggling with Lightning Resist

You should support Envy with Generosity by putting that gem in the sword, so that's what you'll need the open gemslot for.

I took a look at your character and noticed that you have a lot of level 20 support gems without any quality. Vendor each of them together with a GCP to turn them to level 1 quality 20 and then level them up again. You should fairly quickly get them up to a level where the dmg is about the same as it was.

Some things about your skill tree. You don't need the Quick Recovery or the Heart and Soul clusters any more, so there 6 points for you. The Survival Secret gem is good while leveling, but now when you're BM it doesn't provide you with anything. You also have an extra +10 int node at the top of the tree that you can remove. Use the points for more Jewel sockets and I can also recommend the Shaper node for the 1% life regen.

First post in a "build-post". Did not expect much, more like my post getting buried in the masses with no response. I was happily surprised by a helpful hand! =)

Thank you so so much, that time you put into it for me is greatly appreciated and I want you to know that! :)

Ill look into more precisely how ill spend my points but I did spend some of them into the jewel slots and took shaper back (I remember removing it temporarily to grab Blood Magic at some point).

While we're at it, any cool jewel stats to look for? I couldnt find any listings of most wanted rolls in the guide (yet).

I did not know that Gems could affect auras that were on the item rather than being actually "linked" in a socket.

Now, I do have a lot to look over when I can log on the next time, guess I'll have to repaint my sockets quite a bit to be able of putting this mess I did together ;)

It was at point 4.9.9.

Thanks i am working on the 5% spend many ex trying but still no luck

The 5% Reduced mana helmet is only required if you are not running Conqueror's Efficiency jewel, which is my standing recommendation to start with. The jewel gives you 2% reduced mana, and thus you only need another 3% from the helmet.

Tahreyn is right here - the 5% helm is not required in any sense of the word. My suggestion to go for it is rooted solely in the extra jewel slot that you'll get if you have the 5% helm vs the 3% helm.

As of right now you can buy the 150% enchant for 3ex on an ilvl84+ hubris. If you're spending that much for the enchant, I guess I'm just under the impression that you might aswell go for the 5% essence and free up that jewel slot. Keep in mind that you can re-roll your helmet at a later time using scourings, and the 150% enchant WILL stay on the helmet. So if you're currency-strapped and only want to spend for the 3% essence, you can come back at a later time with some currency and re-roll a 5% helmet.

Any chance I could convince one of you fine gents to look over my gear and skill tree? I feel like with the amount of deaths I have been having I should easily be at least 90. My luck farming this league has been garbage. I have maybe netted 3ex total in my limited play time this league, a lot slower than my day 5 change of Skyforths during breach league haha. I have just been trying to stay alive really. Atoll, Shore, Strand, Pier are all great. I can cruise through those nice layout maps with the wave of SRS in front of me and maintain nicely but things like Beyond bosses, occasional map bosses, and sometimes even a dense Breach will just take me out. I feel like even with my IC setup I get oneshot sometimes.

My character should be public, I will go double check now either way. I just want to know if there is some quick cheap upgrades or some skill points I didnt correctly allocate or refund. Just need to be sure I am not doing something fundamentally wrong. I have about 55c to my name so I will do my best with upgrades as I can. Thanks all!

Three quick and easy suggestions:

(1) Get rid of the faster casting gem in your chest and replace with the "melee physical damage support" gem as per the guide.
(2) Spec out of "Practical Application" and its pre-req. You can't be stunned, so there's no use. You can use the points to go for another jewel slot, or for more ES.
(3) Fill up that jewel socket on the way down to blood magic. You have the right idea for jewels, so just get another one.

Your gear is fine for the spot you're at. You should look at upgrading to presence of chayula and a 5L or 6L shavs as your next pieces. You also need to think about getting a helmet crafted.

I think you're ultimately overestimating the power of this build with where your gems are at. You're running tier 8+ maps and talking about clearing breaches with Ephemeral Edge, Solaris Lorica, 6 (maybe 7) auras, and 19/0 gems. You need to get those gems leveled and vendored to 20% quality. You need to get to 8 auras, and a 6L chest. You need to upgrade your EE to UiD. All of these things take time, and their benefit is really huge - it just takes time. I'd be very happy running yellow maps with the spot your at - keep that up, save your currency, and make the upgrades.
