I just managed to acquire a Volls and currently in my Mjolner, I have Discharge+Elemental Focus+Controlled Destruction. Just ran a few T5's/6's and got my asshole pushed in. And, RF still manages to destroy my HP, even with my resistances high and my hp regen

I just looked at you character and passive tree :

- you're missing cold damage on your rare ring, it's necessary to trigger elemental equilibrium correctly. Without it, you are just giving a lot of free elemental resistance to enemies.
- you can play without righteous fire. I don't use it yet and do tier 12-13 maps without problems
- you don't have enough endurance charges to sustain healing from kingsguard. Getting as many as possible should be a top priority with this build as it generates damage AND healing.
- your body gems seem bad. You don't need power charge on critical, but you really need faster attacks linked to cyclone to get more Attacks/second to get power charges and endurance charges, and trigger enough discharges to deal damage and heal you by consuming endurance charges. This is the core idea of the build and it may not be working well with your current cyclone gems configuration.

(most of those points are explained in the nicely written build guide by Rico) :)

Hope it helped ! In my experience, you shouldn't die in tier 5-6 maps, only to reflect mob or maybe a very nasty rogue exile. I'm having a lot of fun with this and I'm nearly 90 and grinding maps to level it up

There are people who lvled up to 100 with this buid and did all the content, Shaper included (hi redix ;) so Bartusick you're doing definitely something wrong. I didnt have time to plug you into PoB but reading from what Abrusio wrote those are all valid points.

You should have lvl 16 Diacharge and 4/4 charges by now. Rare ring with cold dmg to attacks and ele equilibrium taken from tree.

Your cyclone setup should be at least 4link: Cyclone - FA - Fortify - Blood magic. Power charge on crit with romiras ring is the worst idea ever.

As far ad ascendancy goes you should have normal and cruel lab done for undeniable and unfliching and if you have at least 4.5k life you should go for merci lab for that most impoetant unrelenting key Stone.

Than add life and endu charges as you progress.

If you don't have cold dmg on your gear I'd highly recommend to spec out of Equilibrium until you have it. You are gimping your damage otherwise.

I've got cold now on my ring. Hopefully this helps

Flask charges gained this way can only occur once every 200ms and gives a charge to one flask at a time

This would explain why I barely got "all flasks charged up" during a boss encounter. I did not know that.

I'm tending to take Alchemist for +1 max res more as well as longer duration. I'm not sure how much life with this build is needed at the end, with Starkonja as helmet I'm sitting at 5k with 87 now. Usually I feel comfortable with 6k+/7k+, but you have so much Defense with this build I'm not sure this is necessary.
Druidic Rite seems too far to be efficient. Any thoughts for 90+ points? It's nice that this build is finished mid 80.
