Are you res capped with Atziri's Acuity ?

The gloves I'm using don't have resistances and I'm capped so yes it's possible. Expensive, but possible.

Even so, if you're using Wise Oak you don't necessarily need to be capped anyway.

hey man been playing your build for a few days now , it's really fun and fluid my only "complaint" is i feel terribly squishy , even in t7-t8 maps i can get one shotted fairly easily.

Can you or someone else reading this take a look at my items and point me at some needed upgrades?

You need more life on your rings. I just beat act 10 and already have 20+ more life on each of my rings. Think they only cost me 1ch each. Though I havent tried maps with this build yet so it may not help that much.

So I know I need the enchant for my helmet still, but I did something on accident the other day.

I bought a shaper ring with warlords mark on accident instead of the assassins mark lol. Decided I would try it out anyways and I actually really like it. Having endurance charges for the immortal call and having 3-ish seconds of invincibility is really nice. I was running curse on hit assassins mark in a 6 link carcass jack before I got the kaoms and I don't really find that I miss it too much. I'm up for t14 maps now and am destroying everything in 1-2 hits, and vary rarely die.

Anyone else tried the warlords mark out yet?

Thanks :)

You can go any class you want. What's best for HC though is going to depend on the currency available to you in the league and what's most defensive. I don't play HC so I don't look in to it much.

Thanks a lot for the build.

The prices for the helm enchant are going through the roof atm.

Is it worth buying a Devoto's Devotion instead of Starkonja?

Will the build still be able to kill Shaper/Elder with a few hundred life less?

Thank you very much.

Yes, Devoto's Devotion is a good helmet and will be perfectly fine to use. Starkonja is still better in my opinion because of Life + Crit, but in the end it doesn't really make that big of a difference. +1 Helmet enchant is one of the largest damage increases we get and it's only important that you get it.

Thx for the reply !

Think my next upgrade will be the shaper ring .


Btw , im also wondering , instead of going for devotion and melding in the Skilltree , why we are not going for Purity of flesh / explosive impact and maybe arcane potency ?

Is that only to help with the life or there's an other goal ?

I think the life pool will be a bit lower but since we already are near this with Light of Divinity ... Fire dmg cant be bad for this build ... and i think crit chance + crit multi for spell is also pretty good .

Because Devotion gives us a ton of life and a super efficient jewel slot pathing to it. Melding kinda sucks though but there's not really anything else within a 4 point range to grab. You could grab one of the 4 point jewels if you have an absolutely batshit insane jewel though.

It's 3 points pathing to Arcane Potency and then 3 points to grab it, it's a large investment. Pathing to Purity of Flesh sucks since it's 2 points for pathing and then 4 points for 20% inc life. It's a good node if you're at Sovereignty anyway but going up there for PoF doesn't feel worth it.

Can't really judge it without looking at your passive tree. But you're going to want Acuities and a Basalt flask will help quite a bit aswell.

Warlord's Mark is a good option, more so on other classes that don't get leech than this one. I'm going to update the guide since we don't really need Assmark anymore since a PCoC in our Unearth will generate enough charges.

Hum , i was thinking about refund the 4 points from Melding , and the 4 points from Devotion . Keep the jewel slot . So thats 8 points free , then go from Light of divinity to purity of flesh ( so thats 6 points )
With the 2 points left im already in the Explosive impact wheel . Still need to think where i can get 2 more points ...

Depends on my life pool , probably some points around Constitution ... already at 7.5k , and i can upgrade some parts of my gear and i also dont have all the jewel slots yet .

Curious what kind of jewels I should be looking for. I saw that you said damage + life but not too sure exactly what to look for.

So far I've been grabbing some cheap jewels with increased maximum life, crit chance for fire skills, global crit chance.

Anything else to look for?

% Increased damage and Crit multiplier are both stronger than Crit chance.

Wanna see a good zerker vd? Check out my character TellYouLaterMate. Level 91, 7300 hp. Got a 1.72s warcrywith my 33% cdr. Self crafted asn mark ring, elder amulet (still needs anger, and fire damage), +1 vd helm with flat fire and faster attack crafted elder gloves (could still get t1 ias too). Got room to grow but it's so safe I have only 50 deaths. Best of luck to you all.

This is what i currently have at the moment, just finished the leveling. Thinking I should grab some fire damage opal rings? Dex is a big problem due to the helm so not sure I can fit all of that in but so far, VERY fun build!
