[3.2] HoWAbout Occultist. Shaper/Uber Elder, Minotaur flaskless on 1L!!

molten strike is very good with ancestral call and profane bloom ascendancy, it's not tier 1 like tornado shot etc. but still nice for clearing, I started using it from the story.
I personally wouldn't use this build in hc because you might feel squishy in early mapping until you do full transition to chaos inoculation, you'll be literally a tank in the endgame but I died a lot while I was completing the story and all the way to level 80

3)What do you think about using incandescent heart body armour on HC? It seems really nice.

Thank you!

the author of the build gave his opinion a few posts ago:

I'm trying this build right now and its awesome!

Any thoughts about incandescent heart?

You are much better off with a rare. Your total ES will be much higher, with high Int there's little to no dps difference, you can get extra resists plus, most importantly, a decent rare will be a lot cheaper then 6L Incandescent Heart.

Almost to level 80 atm, i like the build but still die a bit. Could anyone suggest on what I need to do in order to improve it more?

get sixth link on chest, 2nd ring with es, intelligence and resistances (unless you are farming the uber elder, you won't need the dream fragments for the regular content, since it's effectively a dps/es decrease compared to a rare ring with the right stats)
diamond flask will do nothing for this build since we're not crit based and the times we crit it's just to proc elemental overload, get a sulphur flask with freeze removal
a jade flask with curse or bleed removal is great since we scale a lot of % evasion thanks to shaper's touch, and a lightning penetration vinktar is cheap and effective

Uber Elder on farm! (even if I doubt it's still profitable doing it on the second month of league, but it's good to do some practice at least)





best setup I've tried is this






some considerations:
- you're unavoidably going to lose dps and a bit of ES by switching one of your rings with the Dream Fragments, but imho you can't rely on just your freeze removal flasks unless you're really exceptional at managing them, and since we can't wear Kaom's roots slows are a bit annoying.
as long as you have 10k es and your cold resistance is capped, it's perfectly fine :D
- enchant with 3 projectiles is a luxury and totally not needed since dps is not a problem, you have to focus on survivability, dodging and killing the right targets (adds, tentacles, boss)
- I find more comfortable using Damage on full life instead of Ancestral call, because sometimes you have to care a lot about your positioning and stay exactly under the Elder or very close to him.
AoE is good even with damage on full life and I never found it to be a problem against adds and portals
- even if the author of the build is taking a break and has not updated it for 3.4, nothing has changed and it's still working great ^^

Soul of Arakaali with first upgrade (mandatory to proc the increased leech with blood rage + immortal call)

as minor pantheon you can choose whatever fits best the situation, I went for Tukohama for the physical damage reduction, upgraded Yugul for the Uber elder, upgraded Shakari for poison in deep delves.

whats the best gem setup for uber elder when i have RRRRBB chest?

Which Watcher's Eye is the absolute best? I see you talking about them, but I can't figure out which is better (english isnt first language sry).

This is the strongest build I've ever played and I've already tried a few :-) Many thanks for that! <3

Regarding Watcher's Eye .. I have one with ES / Hit - Disci & Gain Max ES - Clarity.

This is the content trivial, I've been just the shaper facetankt, I stayed in the beam in there and as if that was not enough at the same time still in a pool on the ground .. and the ES did not go down! Absolutely great, I'm really impressed.

Thanks for this world-class build!

the definitive watcher's eye would be:

for damage (removing discipline and using herald of thunder + wrath)

Gain % of mana as extra ES while affected by clarity
Damage penetrates % lightning resistance while affected by wrath

for survivability (keeping both clarity and discipline)

Gain % of mana as extra ES while affected by clarity
energy shield gained on hit while affected by discipline (but increased energy shield recovery works very similar)

personally I would go for damage and link the auras with empower and enlighten, because even with 10k-11k es you're tankier enough to face the endgame content including the uber elder, because you have to avoid the stuff which oneshots you anyway, same for aul
