Yeay! Killed 2 Elders, almost 3 deaths in each one, because lower than 6k life...

Here is my PoB:

As you can see, I'm missing about 14%life from 2 jewels where I'm using ManaLeech and Int.
I'm doing this leech because, when I'm buffed from HH and attacking so fast the mana sustain goes away pretty fast, this still ok only affects the mapping, when I'm killing the boss if I go for blood rage I only can reach the sustain with this jewels, is this ok? What I can improve to mana don't become a problem?

In general this build is so good! and even using diferents itens from the guide, I'm killing all 16's boss with no problems, just dont put some lethal mods Kappa.

I still looking foward to put a Tombfist, but this means new rings also a 2slot tomb, also my gloves aren't so bad I guess.

Thank you very much again for the build. Its much smoother then all I had before!

I got some weird ideas about surviving and leveling. I am kinda clumsy and reckless as a player so I die a lot. I was trying to fix that and also test an absurd idea. I've put on both grace and determination auras with a determination's watcher's eye and made myself a passive tree full of +% armor and phys resist. Now I have to survive with 82 mana. This is actually not that painfull because I can always leech a bit with a leap slam. The bright side of that is having 37k armor and 89% phys resist before flasks and panteon. This 89% is a lie, since the game calculates it for low dmg stuff. But PoB shows me 57% resist vs 5000 dmg hits and I got flasks and panteon on top of that. Now I can facetank shaper's teleport attack.

The other funny thing is that I still don't have vaal pact. I have 10% life regen, which allows me to clear no leech maps. I accidenly created myself a 8 mod summit with some dmg mods, boss health mods, boss aoe mods and no leech and cleared it without changing flasks/gems. Died once to bleeding which I forgot to care about) I'd use a bleeing flask, remove bloodrage and add a vaal clarity next time I go into no leech, but I'd go there)

cyclopean coil can be a good option for Uber elder.

You gain a freeze immunity , a decent amount of stats (up to 15%) decent amount of life(up to 120 life), and between 20/25% increase damage from your lowest attribute.
If you can use it and keep your resist capped , this can be a really good option IMO.

Aight, I killed uber elder. It was horrible. Did it with Kaom's Roots, put CWDT + IC into my starforge (4 linked for leap slam and 2 linked for this and other setups, moved grace and flame golem to gloves) and used a Devoto's Devotion with Enligten liv 4 + Blood Rage + Purity of Ice + Empower liv 3 and a "20% less mana reserved for Purity of Ice" enchant.

Had 7750 HP and it was still really hard, first portal I tried without CWDT + IC and got two shot by the shaper's melee attacks, managed to get the kill when I had only another portal remaining.

Never again, but so happy I pulled it off :D Now only need to kill Uber Atziri with this character, then I'll make another one.

Build is great fun and very strong!

I'm not an expert, but thats surely not ok. I have only one 0.38% mana leech source on my ring and thats enough to sustain cyclone as long as it hits something. I have only 82 mana so I can cast only one 45mana cyclone from that and I have no mana problems.

What weapon to use when we can't afford starforge yet?

Slayer is immune to bleeding, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you are having survivalibly problems, I suggest making sure you have T1 life on every possible roll before moving on.
