[3.1]Shaper Down on budget 4-link –That Poet's Pen(“instant leech”_Glacial Cascade & Firestorm 2in1)

I went a slightly different route with this build. Only level 70 so far but it works great for now.

Biggest change: I use 6l Frenzy with CoH and Assassin's Mark. Also I use Marylene's Fallacy which gives me about 50% more damage. My crit chance hovers only at around 20% but with Diamond Flask, AM, and the many many hits we deal, I still crit a shitton.

Marylene is an interesting amulet. It also gives free Culling. Glad you find some fun in the build. :D
Thanks for the build, I’m destroying everything while leveling :)!
I’ve 2 questions:
What about pantheon?
What’s your shadow assendency ? Assassin? It seems that the point in the tree you’ve posted is not alocated...

Thanks!

Glad you like the build. :D

Yes, take Assassin. Will update the main thread accordingly. Thanks.

For Pantheon:

Major: Solaris for mapping. Brine King for Shaper/Guardians.
Minor: Use whatever fits your style. Tukohama is great for mapping and face tanking Abyss. Ryslatha is good for Lab.

Anyone else have an issue on bosses where you get 1-2 FPS?

This is with
Stib & Diamond Flask
Lightning Golem
Decoy Totem
Orb of Storms

as soon as I start attacking, my FPS Tanks to 1-2 fps for sometimes 5-10 seconds and sometimes till the boss is dead.
Hi... Is possible to use Shroud_of_the_Lightless 5L?

And a noob question... How to find this rare shaped ring?

I'm play on Xbox and this ring not exist in market :(
Play on X1X

As this build inspired mine and I really do like it, I will post my variation.

First I am not a huge fan of firestorm because of GPU lag, and there is too much stuff on screen to see what's going on the ground. I know that is a solid healing solution but I went to this below and I am more than happy with the results.

At level 83, currently farming T15 Maps with nasty mods easily, but still too squishy to go guardians and shaper. So I will wait to reach 6k life to push further.

I decided to drop the poet's pen with firestorm for a


No more attack speed cap due to frame skipping with 2 poet's pen.
The increased spell damage compensate the lack of firestorm
10% more life
25% block
12% spell block
160 ES
and 3 slots for a real fast moving ability

ok so we are now less squishy but what about heal ? is it enough ?
Not really when you are overwhelmed in a breach or with Abyss monsters ...

So finally I went with


The hits coming from spirit burst give more heal, and the spirit charges consuming give a 5% life recover... Problem solved with amazing results...
The 40% increased glacial cascade damage on my helm is not mandatory as it gives something like 2 or 3% more global damage.

Here is all my stuff :

I already had a 6l belly, but a 6 slots 4 linked will do the job


I always use hatred, dps is nice even for fast mapping. The mana left is enough.
Vaal grace + increased duration for more dodge (spells included)




I can swap for a




You can access my character for the tree wich is the nearly the same as OP.
I will now take all the life nodes I can for the next levels.

Seems like it was your computer's issue. Please check the Graphic setting.

Have no idea what the market is on Xbox...

For the Lightless armour, it doesn't benefit the build in terms of DPS. If you go full Abyss sockets on gears it provides decent HP though.
