[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

Great build so far, really enjoying the endgame for the first time. I have a lot of decent stuff, but a lot is still missing. I keep dying at 93, mainly due to me being bad and getting one hit by bosses, and have stopped leveling. I do have a bit of currency saved up and am not quite sure where to go. I can lose some resistance in general, aside from cold, and go for better rings. Unofrtunately my tree is a bit messed up due to severe lack of int. Any advice on what to do/buy is appreciated. I know i have to run some lab for the helm and boots, but what else is there to straight up improve on? Should i try to get more res on the belt and drop some from the jewels in exchange for more damage? I want to try to kill shaper and uber atziri at some point, and have already easily done red elder.

Other than that, thanks for the amazing guide.

take a look at my gear + tree if you want a guide.

Ignore my right ring as i am using MF right now instead of my proper ring which is +40% ele damage with attack skills

Thanks for the great guide! Xoph's blood is so expensive so I decided to respec some life nodes into Avatar of fire. Any suggestions to my item upgrades? I know I am missing many key items (taste of hate, dying sun, xoph's blood etc) but I am not sure what to prioritise!

Thanks again!

How does this build compare to EE's Molten Strike Ngamahu?

nvm

Hi.
Need some clarifications here.
1. Watcher's eye with extra fire on Anger DOES NOT work with Xoph's Blood.
I bought one with 36% phys converts to fire damage but my DPS tooltip did not update.
However, When I removed Xoph Blood, The DPS tooltip was updated. I reckon keystone Avatar of Fire is messed up.
2. If this is a case then Watcher's eye with fire pen is only an option for someone with Xoph Blood.
Damn, Wasted 1 EX For nothing.

What you wrote isn't true. From POB tests, extra fire gives more damage on Shaper than fire penetration.

Yeah what I wrote is absolutely true. Uncheck Wise Oak. So unless you have found a way to get perma uptime on that flask, which I'd be all ears on, fire pen pulls ahead.

Wise Oak is a shit flask anyway and it depends on your reistances so if you don't have those aligned the flask, it literally does nothing. Just another burden for a tiny boost actually. A better one is Writhing Jar which you can use to proc Headsman, which gives a whopping 20% more damage multi and 15% increased AoE. In a boss fight, like Elder and especially shaper, you can't keep that up since most of it as there are no adds. And the "recently" window is tiny (4s). Writhing Jar can give you 2 full charges, that's 8s of massive damage. Pair that with fire pen and you are well ahead on damage for the duration of the fight.

I would encourage everyone not to go full retard epeening in POB. Check options that you will most likely keep up during a prolonged fight. It's one thing for a random boss, because you can melt them in literally 4s. But for elder and shaper there is no way you're keeping them covered in ash, with all your flasks up, with frenzy charges, with ECs, with onslaught and shocked, like come on. Maybe mapping sure, but again, trash explodes on a 4L, so who cares. Your clears speeds aren't better if you hit for 22m or 5m if the monster only has 100k life.

I selected covered in ash as that's most likely the only proc you'll reliably get on just about any monster. The rest are going to be small windows so you're not going to see that 20m dps all day long.

When you fail at reading lol. RIP. We've all be there tho oops :P

But I mean if you think about, what's it converting? You do no physical thanks for Xoph's providing AOF.
