[3.0] 10M DPS+ | Face tanking Shaper & Guardians | Brutus' Lead Sprinkler | Molten Strike/Sunder

Good guide thanks

Few quick questions - though I think you answered one above.

Dropping blood rage - thinking of also dropping in haste instead of flammability also. Any replacements you think could be worth the slot?
On the protector links, why do you run proloif and the resists? The totem melts either way resists or no, would you not be better teaching something else like conc for damage?
Edit: Let me actually add what I think I'm going to change -

Drop Flam and Blasphemy for Haste
Drop Blood Rage for Vaal haste
Move Leap Slam into 4 slot with Blood Magic
Drop lightning Golem for Fire Golem
Drop Ele Prolif for Rallying Cry
Still need to figure out what to drop on the minion and Totem slot
May move golem to minion slot with empower and slot Firestorm for ranged pack leech during maps

Double edit: Wont work without enlighten 4 (which I dont want to drop 5ex on). So instead keeping Flam Blasphemy, dropping rallying cry so I have Ancestral - EMpower - Lighting on 3 link. Keeping Leap on Blood for now. Loss of attack speed on Lightning seriously felt fucky.
Also realised the prolif is for the ring to spread the ailments? I'm not running the ring so feels like a dead slot

More annoying edits: that just netted me my first shaper kill!

i have a few questions.
1. How does the thing with the pastebin work?
2. how do you manage youre mana? with the buffs i have only around 120 mana any advices?

Anyone could check my profile and tell me why PoB shows only 270k dps with molten strike? Ive listened to every sugestion (except for enchancment-still in progress). Cheers

did you set the configuration to magma balls, enable your flasks, savage hit recently, hit recently, covered in ash, projectile travel distance ~10?

1. get path of building and import the pastebin link to the program to see the tree, gear, and everything

2. berserker gets 1% mana leech in the ascendancy so that should be enough to sustain your mana. my mana pool is at 145 and 6 link molten strike cost ~38 mana for me. sunder is at 51

Just did the corrupted versions of guardians for the first time. Also did shaper for the very first time and even got it down. After that I did it again (both times dropped boots..)

Fun build, works really well even with my cheap gear. I think all the items are like 1-20c except weapon(4ex), chest(110c) and amulet(8ex). Yea and the Dying sun flask is also like 110c but I bought it for my wanderer :)

Dont have enough dexterity for the highest levels of faster attack and blood rage, but maybe I dont need those. Maybe Ill try next uber atziri if I manage to get more pieces.

Wonder if I should try to divine my weapon for more attack speed. Or maybe just save enough currency for really good rings. Got about 6.3k hp now and it feels pretty much enough and dont really get one shotted that ofter.

Also CWDT+firestorm helps with berserker op leech :)

gear

That's great to hear, I'm really happy so many people have said they've done Shaper for the 1st time with this build!
I don't recommend divining the weapon it adds too little for the randomness. In saying that you can always PoB and just change the attack speed from 17% to 20% to see what the changes would add and decide if you're willing to roll for it. Yea, the occasional 1 shots are annoying, I wouldn't recommend this build for hardcore with out some changes.

6800hp, 700k shaper/guardians dps
I do not like this build and I returned back to the old one.
Weak sides:
1) very bad survival of the character, the player must play in permanent tension. if you compare the survability with the scourgeflurry, then it's like chalk and cheese
2) very expensive rings and belts. it costs 15ex+ per item with good rolls. it is difficult to purchase jewels with fire damage, a.spd and hp% right now
3) sunder is not ok for mapping, ms is so slow
4) vaal pact. it is so hard after gain life leech from hits instantly
5) blood rage can eat a big part of your life if you dont attack anymore. a little problem to start after with low hp
Strengths:
1) great damage
2) great mobility

Maybe I'll play this build again, but at the start of the league, when things do not cost so much.

I had a look and watched a couple of the scourgeflurry videos. If that's what you want to play cool go for it, to each their own. What I didn't like about it was, you couldn't face tank Shaper's laser or balls which was something I was specifically looking for as I'm a bad and lazy player.
Even though Miffy23 gave a great answer already I'll hit point by point so I'm not dodging anything:

• 1) Survival: This build can face tank Shaper's double laser or double balls. I can face tank all the guardians. Survival doesn't seem to be much of an issue imo.
  If you're saying this build isn't good for lab traps, okay I agree. This is not a lab farmer. If you want to play a lab farmer, go play a lab farmer.
• 2)If you look at my PoB, I got a 'cheaper' setup where you can run with 15c rings, amulet and belt. Sure it's not babies 1st build cheap but it's pretty reasonable imo. I didn't even use any life on my jewels because it doesn't even need it. The only thing this build really needs is Brutus' Lead Sprinkler, 5.5K HP+, max resists, any 6 link (1 did my 1st Shaper kill with a Tabular), Lycosidae, Alberon's Warpath and 2x Wildfire to down Shaper.
• 3)Sunder is the best melee skill for map clearing in terms of speed/damage so I'm not sure what you're talking about here either.
• 4)Vaal pact is the single strongest and most used Keystones in the game, so are you just saying you don't like strong powerful builds?
• 5) Blood rage is not required, it just helps if you want even more OP damage.

The reason we used proloif on totem was specifically to proc elemental ailments so The Taming gets its bonuses. If you're not using The Taming, don't worry about it. The totem itself doesn't do that much damage compared to your OP Molten strike.
This build has so much damage you can remove damage for utility, no issue there.
I also don't use blood rage most the time as I'm lazy, 100% not required.
Yay another 1st Shaper kill!
I'ma actually edit the main post to quote all the awesome people who got their 1st Shaper kills =]

1) This is Path of building:https://github.com/Openarl/PathOfBuilding
Here's a video on how to use it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCEDYJuyX6Q
In short, it's a program you use to make builds to theory craft everything from tree, items to skills and stalking other people.
2) A couple of easy options, you can trade Anger for Herald of Anger to make it easier to use.
High level Empower will help reduce the mana reserve. At the end of the day, the more playable the build the better.

A few recommendations:
1) Get Lava lash on the tree +6% damage there (bottom left).
2) Conc effect gem adds a ton of damage we're talking 20% more damage if you replace the faster attack, 15% if you replace the multi strike or 10% more damage if you replace the Fire pen.
3) Melee damage on Jewel don't add much damage to the Magma balls (which is where most of the damage comes from). You want more like fire damage, proj damage, AoE damage.
4) Don't need mana flask, if you're having a hard time with mana, change the Anger for Herald of Ash.
5) Can also replace Life flask for more damage, Sulphur and silver flask adds 16% more damage.
A) The melee damage from Spiked gloves don't add much, but the rest of the glove looks nice.

So there's about 5 things you can do to improve damage with out needing to spend much.
Also all the things RayRayx said about learning how to set up PoB.

how do u have so many skill points for the leveling skill Tree for level 17 already 38 points

Question resolved, deleting text.

okay

I have to say thank you for the build. I got my first guardian and Shaper kills tonight as well with this build and like you said, full face tank. Though wasn't deathless, had 1 portal left lol. Most of my deaths were to the silver orbs and terrible placements especially during bubble phase, really don't know wtf to do there.

I played blade flurry before this with the intentions of killing bosses but I apparently don't have the mechanical skills to play a glass cannon cause I kinda suck at dodging things and the currency to just dps through the phases fast enough.

Though I did change a few things, I'm running Arctic Armour, Anger and HoA for my auras with CWDT flammability. Mostly cause I felt squishy in maps without AA. I'm still a noob when it comes to path of building but I'm planning to craft and replace Meginord's. Just gambling to see how much damage I'm gonna lose for a faster shield charge. Also been running Uber lab on my runner for the +3 proj, no luck what so ever.
