Yes

I can't go without it, specially on single target.
But even with it, heal is still not comfortable without a life flask on single target, otherwise I can teleport right in a middle of a monster pack without any issue.

So I will try also to improve my attack speed to see how it goes.

Just hit 90 and all i have to say that build is so satisfying to play. Being super casual player builds usually bother me around mid 80's. Then I start a new build. But not this one, I want to return and sweep through maps again and again.

As for the minuses of the build, this is certainly the difficulty of recognizing the mayhem that is happening on the screen (what the hell is going on there XD), especially during the crack of the abyss, from the other side it is almost impossible to die standing in the environment of enemies, thanks to the mechanics of the build.
You can literally just stand and no press buttons at all, after a while creeps will die from cwdt setups.

Inspired by the build, i want to try to kill guardians and shaper himself for the first time ever. So I would be grateful if you would check my gear and say what things need improvement, also I have a few noob questions.

GEAR

Spoiler

1. "Frenzy (Lvl 1 for lower Dex requirement)" - Is there a difference in whether to raise the level of the gem or not, because in your gear the gem is max lvl, and dex req is not so high for me, maybe some mana issues?

2. You took precision node for dex or attack and cast speed play a role, otherwise at 91 lvl with 3 points we can get jewel socket near melding area.

3. "You are recommended to set the in-game attack speed at 0.26" - is there some option in the game settings, cause I dont quite understand how to do it?. My APS is 3.54 - is it enough or should i rise it?

TY for the build and guide, and sorry for my english :)

The construction is incredible.

I'm on level 80 now making red maps with some ease.

I made some changes to the equipment to use the new equipments in the league.

I added Volatile Dead and Cremation to the chest Shroud of the Lightless. Light poacher helmet to more damage and create a power charges.. I'm loving.

Tks for amazing build, and sorry my poor English

Been playing this, super fun but I added a few things, firstly I am going as a hybrid ES/life, currently sitting at 6.25k life and 1.75k ES and I managed to get ahold of the ES on hit with Disc and Life on hit with Vitality Watcher's Eye, I found it increased by ability to survive by a massive amount(Currently level 86 able to easily farm red maps without crazy mob damage additions).

I've been looking into switching my chest to a Geofri's Sanctuary, it gives about the same armor and all resists as Belly of the Beast but gives potential massive ES gains. I'm sitting at about 300 STR which would add 120~ES to its base of about 250, with the few ES passives I have and int it works about to be about 705 extra ES, about the same as what Belly gives me in Life, plus the chest has some base health so im considering switching over to it, theres a few easy to get ES nodes right next to the tree that would boost this even further.
