For the number of skill points required to get it, I personally don't feel it's worth it. As always, try it if you want to and let us know what you think if you do.

Shaper down, image link: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/854976708544908746/9E3C38A1FF0FE812C0099EFA8E7170A5887F3DC0/

So, the bad news is that I died again in hc, because I was careless. Ordinary T12 with extra damage, got in a bad situation surrounded, didn't log, rip one more char.

But the good news is that when I tried Shaper in SC using the new variation, it worked like I had hoped. Devotos and dream fragments did their job in keeping me mobile and allowing me to get good vortex placements, the extra dps made keeping Zana alive easy, the self cast wither was phenomenal in bringing Shaper down in a reasonable amount of time, and 10.5k EHP was plenty to tank one shot of anything but the slam, which is all one should reasonably need anyway. I was not perfect-- 2 deaths in the third phase due to pilot error (first two phases were perfectly clean and not particularly difficult). But the new variant could -farm- Shaper in SC and the new variant can definitely do Shaper in hc with more practice.

My conclusion after the fight is that the skellies are not really necessary--fun, but an extra complication I would rather replace with a good CWDT setup. I would scrap these and bring immortal call back into the build. They might work with wither>CWC>summon skellies>inc dur, though it's not clear whether this would be better than wither>faster casting>inc dur--a topic left for testing.

(edit--further testing suggests that optimal set up may actually be wither>CWC>temp chains>inc dur skipping skellies entirely. Additional note--I may reroll to test ideas one more time. Having played with it some in SC now, my impression is that the impact of the self cast wither is so strong that I may be able to revert to a tankier version of the build while still burning down the top level content with significant speed. This would be ideal if it works and is what I plan to attempt next.)

Anyway, Shaper down--ambition fulfilled!

Hi again!
I did my own approach on this build.
Did like some other guy here mentioned and grab more life on the tree.

Also i picked up a

so i can run a 6 link on a 5 link and in the end 7 link.
Beacuse of how the armor work i also got these 3 to keep the cruses at bay.

Since we kill everything so fast i have no problem keeping the flaskes up att 100%.
Atm i'm at lvl 87 with 6,1k hp, 1,7 k es and 3k mana.
Don't think it works so well for shaper or guardians since the fights are rly long or i guess it could work if you use portals but for maps it's rly nice.

Cheers!
