1) Our only leech are from vitality void and atziri promise correct? Is that enough?
2) How does this build deal with reflect?
3) When does this build go online? (currently lvl 59 raider)
4) What is your total dps? We can kill bosses easily right?

Hey MIKEJONES,
1) We get a lot of leech from the duelist (skilltree), just this is more than enough.
2) So far I died 0 times to reflect, the reduced reflected damage taken pantheon and skikkpoint make it very safe. We also have vaal pact on top of that.
3) You can already start playing it, just get 2 Hand of Thought and Motions and maybe some INT gear (Astramentis), use it until 68 where you can use 2 blessing of esh's to upgrade the claws to HoWa (Hand of Wisdom and Action).
4) PoB says like 700k singletarget dps, with the helmet entchant you can hit bosses up to 5 times PER projectile, so damage is not a problem :)

any tips on how to improve my gear? my dps is very low on bosses, clear speed is good in maps t1-6 but i can't kill bosses (keep in mind i'm playing in hardcore harbinger)

Hey zjona, here are some things you could improve:
The level of your gems, a 6th link, INT on your helmet, Elemental Damage with attacks on your second ring and of course your flasks.

The Wise Oak is a very nice damage boost if your lightning resist is the highest one.
Atziris Promise just for more damage and leech (well, chaos resist is nice too).
You can also use a Vessel of Vinktar, also for more damage to nearby enemies and the leech.
Get adds dmg to attacks or 10% lightning penetration here.

Hi can you post any videos to showcase this new updated builds? :)

Build looks very interesting. I tried it on regular hc and ofc in there we can achieve a lot more ES. Like 5k hp + 5k ES would achievable I guess.
Anyways, if going to try this on HHC what do u think Arctic Armour since we stand a lot still and how about 6L Incandescent Heart Saintly Chainmail?

I've tried your build and I'm now at level 75, it's very smooth and fun to play.
but i have some questions:
1)now i have all ele resist around 80%, is that enough?
2)what if I use Atziri's Splendour Sacrificial Garb as my body armour?
thank you.

Hey Possu81, of course you can replace Herald of Thunder with Arctic Armour, that can be very helpful against some specific bosses, escpecially in HC.
Incandescent Heart is totally viable for this build, yea. You will lose some life and ES (a rare chest can have 100+ life and way more ES), well maybe not if your current rare chest is worse.
However its a nice damage upgrade but you really want some chaos resist on gear.

Hey iVista, nice to hear that :)
1) In general you want atleast 75% fire/cold/lightning resist. Due to the fact that we are using "The Wise Oak" you want to have lightning resist the highest one of all 3. Vessel of Vinktar can help with that (its a topaz flask = lightning resist).
2) Wouldnt recommend that, its just better to get a rare chest with high life, ES and INT.
Of course you can use that atziris if you have one right now, its just not best in slot.

Found this from my stash that nobody wanted:


would u generally prefer 150 life on 200 es armour or 400 es and 100 life?

Hey Possu81, I would definitely take the 400es and 100 life version for more effective hp.
Both are good :)

hey any chance you could check my gear I'm dying a lot to bosses what do I need to change @aixx on my Char Dicerning
