My goal is reach deeper delves while still being able to kill bosses such as shaper/elder. Also Uber would be one of the goals too...
If someone could check what gear upgrades I should aim for it would be great.
Thanks!

Controlled Destruction, Hypothermia etc are all good options. Just check in PoB and read the skillgems - so be aware of the drawbacks of Controlled Destruction! Increased Criticals might work a lot better if you are not on top of your flask managment.

Also I really think people should stop to tryhard around.

You can run the Build as it is on the OP till Delve 700 or so fairly easily. Stop trying to be so tryhard.

I just kinda have to facepalm when I see people not even doing t16/shaper/UElder but they optimize their builds for content thats way beyond that and requires very specific gearing which also introduces a lot of drawbacks.

Your skill gems aren't even level 20!

I'm really sorry, but I am not quite sure in which direction to go to with the build currently, and I'm not too sure what to invest on. Any advice?
Atm, I'm just struggling to fit arctic armor in the mix.

If anyone could take a quick look that would be appreciated, ty.

You lack good rares. I think you went for the SpiderAura way to early - this is an EndGame optimisation thing. Certainly not a thing to try to encorporate when you cant make resists work out yet, have only lv2 enlightens etc. It will be really demanding on your budget otherwise.

As for quick fixes: Spec out of Ice/Fire walker and the node leading up to them and pick up Alira instead. That fixes your resist issues for less points and also gives you more damage + some manaregen.

Your Jewels are pretty bad and your frenzy is leveled way to high. You can leave it at lv 11 at which point it requires 111Dexterity - same as your other green support gems. That in turn will enable you to specc out of the green +30Dex node. (you might need to get a +10dex instead of a +9Dex roll on one of your rares - or just devine it). Try to pick up the other PowerCharges in the tree.

Once your BloodMagic in your Vertex gets up to lv20 you can switch the herald of thunder with the purity of elements from your gloves. That will free up additional mana. With an Enlighten in the gloves you technically have enough Mana free to work the SpiderAura in as well; though ideally you want a ManaSaving enchant on your helmet. As stated in the OP Wrath and Arctic Armor work best for this build though Herald is also okay.

Get Quality on three of your four Gems in the Frenzy Chain. You are lacking quite a bit of attackspeed.

Here is a corrected PoB:

I'm looking at your 3.4 pob link and the helmet (Vertex vaal mask) has 170% inc cast speed which isnt on any other helmet? and has 2 implicits (+1 power charges and arc chain lab enchant) what? am i missing something here?

Please read the OP:

"

Note: I included the CastSpeed/Spell Damage modifier in those builds on the helmets to represent the Attack/Cast Speed via Poet's Pen as well as the average %spelldamage gain from Indigon if applicable.

As for corruption + enchant: This is a remnant from the Incursion League where such a result was possible due to the Altar of Corruption. The Altar will be part of the core game (and all subsequent leagues) after Delve according to GGG development manifesto. For Delve specifically you can just remove the enchant - the power charge is the most useful option for us.

I read through the 3.4 changes, the FAQ, and the august changes before posting and didn't find any mention of the helm but now I see it's under the pob links heading. If it's a 3.4 pob link and the helm corruption isn't possible then imo it shouldn't be included but thanks for explaining.

Fair enough; removed it.

Ok, this build is stupid powerful. I am level 81 and far from midway of the powerlevel of the build and my resists are low, energy shield only at 6.2k but its just so strong. Great job Cyrix for designing this, refining it and bringing it to us all. Thank you!

Well I was checking all of the options, just wanted to hear an opinion of others.
Dont get me wrong, I like your build idea, but I don't want to blindly follow it, that'ss why I am trying other things which suits my play style more.
Its not trying hard its adapting for my own taste.
Guardians and shaper is not a problem with it.
Gems are on the way with level.
Thanks for the build idea once again.

Fair enough! Have fun in the Delve. :)
