[3.0] Dark Pact Zerker - Farm shaper/guardian deathless (VIDEO) - Great clear speed

Fantastic build but one question that I couldn't see covered, how do you deal with being interrupted? I find if I'm mid cast on dark pact and get stopped mid cast (mainly stuns) in a large pack I instantly die, I've got nearly 7k health and it seems to be a repetitive problem, anytime I stop casting DP whether it's a stun or something I die.

My Gear:


Other builds to prevent this use Kaoms or Unwavering but as we use neither I can't see how to survive it.

Use the brine king pantheon to prevent multiple stuns. Normally you can tank survive the first stun, and then just cast DP as fast as possible

1) Stun Recovery
2) Damage mitigation (armor, evasion, block)
3) Cast Speed
4) Pantheons

7k is pretty good, but more life wouldn't hurt either as it makes it harder for you to get stunned.

I don't use Kaom's Roots or Unwavering either, but I don't have problems with stun.

My Doedre elixir doesn't proc the savage hit because it doesn't do enought damage because of chaos resistance on skill tree/alberon's. I didnt completed uber lab yet, so i dont have the 10% increased damage from the ascendancy. When i get the last ascendancy, the flask will do sufficient damage to proc the savage hit?

As long as you have -37% Chaos Resistance or less.

ty, so i'm fine as i have 12% from tree and 9% from alberon (resulting in -39%). Also, i think the OP should add this on the post, because if you have a 12% chaos res alberon, you would have -36% chaos res and the savage hit wouldn't proc according to your maths

Correct. It may seem a little weird, but that is how the game calculates the damage. See my quote below for more details.

Doedre’s Elixir can be used if you have -50% chaos resistance (or -37% if you have Aspect of Carnage due to how damage is calculated; max_life * 0.15 < rounddown(rounddown(rounddown(max_life * 0.1) * chaos_res) * 1.1)).

Damn! That is the crucial info dude. It should be stated in bold on top of first post from this thread. I was using 12% chaos res version of boots for long time and I didn't know that :(
May God have mercy upon my enemies; they will need it.
Amazing build! Thanks. I have 1 question, what you take 1st, Apect of carnage or Cloaked in savagery?
Killed all Guardians and got shaper to 1/4 hp left on first try. Great build! Can it clear hall of grandmasters? Anyone try it yet
