Perhaps you are simply running out of flasks? Or moving too much? Avoid tanking in a vortex, move slightly, just get out of it. Or at least hit the life flask to repair the damage.

Dying at a bad time can start a chain reaction. Unlike all other map bosses, the Shaper doesn't freeze the moment you leave the area. His arena has some kind of special property, the game never stops processing it. He regens while you are making your way back to him through the trash maze. He keeps doing his stuff while you respawn and get back. Ice balls keep spawning. Portal adds get Zana down without you. Etc, etc. So if you die and then take a minute to rebuff and get back, you can easily find the arena filled with vortexes.

This is awesome, building it up now, just about to hit Kitava the first time.

One question: cast speed. I don't see a lot of it going on. I'm not having any trouble but for now I'm leveling with spell echo because super slow casting speed was annoying me.

Is it really not a problem with this build? Are you achieving it somehow without nodes or gear? Can you just give this noob a little primer on the cast speed aspect of this build?

Thanks!

You don't need any casting speed. CwC fires at the fixed 0.35 sec intervals.

in my experience, the key to the shaper fight is to use a dream fragments ring. not being slowed down by all the fucking vortexes makes the fight so so much easier.

Hey, really like your build, having tons of fun playing it. I am level 81 at the moment, I bought Kaom's recently but when I replaced my current armour it gives me significantly lower life/es. Maybe I am wrong and I just should use Kaom's but I was thinking if I want to use my chest what other gems I could fit into it to increase my damage or defenses? Some damage taken links or something similar? Thanks for advice.
