[3.3] CI Wandcultist - League starter - Fast mapper - Guardians on a 5L - Shaper down

Yes, respec into life build but using Occultist Ascendancy for clears would be great.

My suggestion would be taking most of the flask mods in the ranger area if you're planning to do that, since your main purpose is MF-ing instead of doing Reds while MF-ing.

Was wondering how Blood Rage is meant to be used exactly. Do I just need the Arakaali base pantheon or do I need to capture the bosses too before using it?

Also BR is just used to increase the speed of ES recharge? Why do we want to then put it on a CWDT setup instead of self-casting it so we can make sure it's always up?

In regards to mf, I was thinking about adding 2 new variations, but will need some feedback, so tell me what you think.

First one is heavily focused on movement speed, but both dps and survivability is quite lacking. Probably only good for fast chaining of low tier maps, it also uses relatively cheap-dirt cheap equipment.
It's a life/ES hybrid with Power Siphon: https://pastebin.com/mWpHACuw
Overall it should be more tanky then typical Ranger wander due to extra recovery on kill and overall higher eHP pool.

My second idea was stacking some sort of quantity, but it probably won't be cheap since Shav's is pretty much mandatory if you want to stay ES based. As any wander, it relies heavily on jewels to scale dps, but I tried not to go overboard.
Movement speed is pretty low, and survivability isn't also the greatest due to low ES amounts, but, at least it can get up to 36% quantity plus Bisco's Collar: https://pastebin.com/wwheqYYB
I'm not terribly happy with this variation so I will probably try to theorycraft something hybrid or life based for comparison.

You need the first upgrade. You want Blood Rage in one of your weapons so you can easily turn it off on demand with weapon swap. It should be higher level then your CwDT so that you have complete control over it being on and off. I have CwDT together with it since that's how I've managed my links.

Anytime your Immortal Call triggers while you have upgraded pantheon and Blood Rage on, the pantheon bonus should activate and increase your leech rate, which is a great defensive boost.

Uber Elder viable?

I won't claim it is UElder viable since I've never tried it, but imo you will need very good gear and good experience with both the Shaper and Elder fights. Other builds can do Uber Elder a lot more comfortably.

I tried to do with my current gear, i suppose its my lack of experience with the fight as i find it hard to clear adds when they start flooding your screen with degen ground.

The damage is not enough to clear adda, probably because im not using ele weakness on hit but enfeeble.

I suppose i would need to sacrifice more ES and get more damage.

OR use a tri res rare glove with ele weakness to compensate my rings as im gonna use dream fragment for easier movement through the whole progress of the fight.

I got to T12 maps but having problems bossing. My next step is to 5-6link my chest piece. I enjoy this build a lot as it's the one I've played most this league. Big thanks to OP.

Yep, not having a dedicated Barrage setup will hold your bossing back. You can cheaply use the Jeweller's Touch prophecy on another piece of armour to get a 5L, and you can still manually try to 6L your current chest.

You also won't need Poacher's Aim anymore since you have Pierce gem in KB setup and one of your other jewels could be replaced for a better one.

Other then that everything looks fine :)

a glass build where just two strokes of the Golden monster to kill you, very expensive because of the gold things with good characteristics, little damage to a single target even using the "queue", collected almost everything you need and do not recommend repeating my mistakes playing this build. Yes, it is possible to clean up the card level 15 but it is the ceiling, the keepers are killed unrealistically hard and only with the perfect equipment, uber elder she just did not kill ever.

Awesome build! Currently leveling at the moment....quick question on the shield. Wouldn't a lycosidae be a huge damage increase vs the ES spirit shield? Just curious on the reasoning for not using one if you can res cap through the armor/jewelry.
