Hey there!

Thanks for your work! Build seems really good. I have quastion about simulacrum. How it feels there? Is it possible to facetank kosis on the 20th wave?

Thanks in advance.

I've only done Kosis with another build so I can't really say how well it would do against him. I wouldn't advise facetanking though. He has a couple of attacks that can insta-kill you no matter how much life you have. You should use hit-and-run tactics. Hit, whirl, repeat.

Love this guide. I only play as SSF. So the challenge is always gear. I'm level 85 and can do red maps reasonably.

Working my way to upgrade my claws and rings.

One question, does enfeeble not show an icon when it is triggered by CWDT? I've never seen it triggered and my skill gem levels are all aligned with your guide. What are your thoughts with projectile weakness instead of enfeeble since the damage generated is physical and projectiles?

Thanks for the guide.

Unfortunately since access to the guardians is now a lot harder getting the Scourges in SSF is a pain in the **s.
No enfeeble doesn't show an icon. No curse does since it's not applied to you. It does show a symbol on the cursed enemies though. Check the wiki to see it.
Projectile weakness is slightly better than vulnerability in DPS. If you feel that you don't need a defensive curse then you can certainly use it. However the best way to apply it would be with CoH and you can only get vulnerability on corrupted gloves. A mark of submission or a warlord ring would also work.

Hey there, this is my second ST build this league and I've got to say I enjoy it a lot more than the other one :) Nice, well written guide! This is what I'm running so far... The Goldwyrm is really just a meme right now, gonna replace it later.




Now when fighting smaller groups of monsters or solo bosses (Sirus in particular), I feel mana is very hard to come by with "only" Soul Raker. All the extra attack speed from Spiritual Command drains my mana too fast, ST can't keep up. I was thinking about getting some -mana cost on jewellery, though that would be almost unaffordable for me.
What do you think about i.e. Fuel The Fight on a cluster jewel? Which passive nodes could I leave out to put points into the clusters?

The easiest thing you can do is just grab that life/mana leech node below VP. It gives the same mana leech as Fuel the fight. You can even get more if you feel like you need it.

It's difficult to suggest something with cluster jewels. What would you get besides FTF ? If you get some damage node then you can remove e.g. depth perception. If you get life then you can remove Written in blood. It all depends on what cluster jewel you use.

Feed the Fury, Streamlined, Eye to Eye
For minions, especially with the Spiritual Command annointment: Call to the Slaughter, Cult Leader

For the impale version, I would go Deep Cuts as well.

Would really like to get me one of those, but your skill tree has so much quality of life, I'm really not sure what to dump...

Weakest build i ever played. Tier 10 Map Mobs kill me with one hit.

Yeah, it's the build's fault. I did those T16-17 in the videos with another build and then edited them in premiere to make it look like this one.

Cant see any 3.10 Video for this build.

Sure np, I'll remake all videos every league to keep you happy. Anything else?

Can't imagine why you would die with flesh and stone on? The blind it provides is just awesome. I don't even run acrobatics and just solely relying on flesh and stone for my defenses and i don't die even on sim runs.

You actually have good gears too. really not sure why you're dying. are you getting caught in the middle of a pack of mobs? you don't move around that much? what map mods did you run?
