I am assuming you asked someone else for help, correct? Only asking because I see a few things wrong but I don't want to step on anyone's toes :P. I have had a few people ask advice in game and I cannot remember if you were one of them or not.

i don't actually care who helps me with this build, i just want it to work.

i texted "Zirinae" ingame and told him that im way too squishy and i dont know why. (Im literally getting one shotted by T15 bosses etc) , and tbh if you can tell my anything to make this better just do it haha :D

Okay so I will try and get this started. Your Frenzy is way too high level which is making your dex requirement go through the roof. You can drop it down to level 11 or 12. Once you do this you can regain about 5 pints in your tree. To get the last 20 or so Dex/ Str that you need (assuming you don't improve your jewels), you can grab the node "Practical Application". It is a fairly small investment at 2 passive points.

Your Frenzy setup is meant for an Indigon (kind of, you're using critical damage on an ability that does nearly no damage). So you would likely want to swap that to a defensive setup. You are missing "Doom Cast", "Written in Blood", and "Influence" on your tree, things I would probably work towards.

I would also make sure that I had a jewel, belt, or ring that adds some strength/ dex to allow you to drop the other large strength node that you are currently taking.

how do we deal with chaos damage since we cant heal from leech? guess im just stupid/blind but i dont see it

Well we don't take a lot of damage from Chaos as we stack quite a bit of chaos res in this build (if you're wearing the recommended gear). But our leech would mainly come from the Warlords Mark on hit which is on our ring. On top of that you get ES on hit from the Watchers Eye and if you're using Spider Aura you get more from Fenumus's Spinnets.

just encountered the "chaos dmg problem" while leveling and was wondering since we cant heal our lifepool from leech (ghost reaver) and that was quite anoying

kinda ot: is there a way to obtain the boss souls without actually defeating the bosses? like trading or smth? i always wondered if/how people aquire those t15 souls at the start of the league and if im missing something

so guys i got help with the build.

Theres no need to reply to any of my comments anymore. Thanks for everything, take care everyone good night.

If buffer is a problem for, you can check my version of the build.
Look for my lvl100 occult in std. BUT BE WARNED IT WAS A BUILD FOR DELVE ONLY !!!!!!!! Don't copy it for mapping or bossing in betrayal without using shavronne chest.

Still, i had a decent 12K ES with this setup and managed to kill uber elder with it also (I used a shav). My build was not finished due to lack of time, you can still add corruption to gloves, and lab enchant to helmet.

Hey guys,

After some time farming up been really LOVING this build! Finally got Aspect spider on ring and ended up getting a spells % crit on the gloves and noticed a big difference in my damage. Had some questions. I do struggle a bit during bosses because of the solo mob. I have about 3EX to spare and wanted to see what way to head towards on my char. I can another dual poet for bosses, not sure if that will make a huge difference but what I been reading up on. I need a Watchers eye ES % that should help with sustain.

I do have to work on my jewels and belt but they were just placeholders till I figure the rest out. On my skill tree I had a question as well. Currently I just took points out of OverCharge to get Celestial Judgement, would that be beneficial?

Guessing the last thing to do is 6l Shav's after everything else is sorted? Not sure if that is a huge DPS boost compared to the others.

Been running x2 MS flask, x2 Crit Flask and 1 15% reduction


Tl;dr : Upgrade Order . Dual Poet's for bosses>Watchers ES %> Belt/Jewels/ 6l Shavs?

Thanks guys really appreciate it

Tl;dr : Upgrade Order . Dual Poet's for bosses>Watchers ES %> Belt/Jewels/ 6l Shavs?

Order of importance in my opinion :

1/ Get BALL LIGHTING ASAP 20/20 (or 21/20 if you can afford) + Light pen 20/20 + slower proj 20/20



2/ Optimize your potions :



3/ Change your Ascendency setup :




4/ Optimize your mana cost and utility slot gem in your shav slot :

Since you have a 5L Shav's use something like frenzy-FA-GMP-CoH-Curse (conductivity or enfeeble).

Also your attack speed is too low. That means less poet's pen procs, less ES gained on hit etc. Get frenzy, gmp and faster attacks to 20 quality, you'll be at 3.69 aps once your faster attacks gets to level 20.

I see you don't have a PP that can have a ball lightning setup. It's really recommended to have 2 pairs of PPs. At least get a 3rd one with 2B1G sockets.
Also, if you turn on all your auras, you're left with 24 unreserved mana. Get a vertex with "90% mana multiplier of socketed gems" corruption. You'll have to swap your gloves gems into the vertex and your helm gems into your gloves. Colors are easy to get.

Spoiler

On bosses, ball lighting deal more damage than arc. The chaining more multiplier with arc will not apply and your damage will be garbage.
On the other hand ball light can hit a target multiple time, it is approximately 4time/s (check engneering eternity video on youtube). Meaning the dps of your ball light will hit a significant amount of time on "big" boss, especialy if they are not moving (kitava for example).

You NEED to swap to an Arc + Ball light setup on boss

2/ Optimize your potions :

Spoiler

GET "Atziri's Prime" flask ASAP (get one close to 15% elem damage as extra chaos

If you want to min/max dps, you will need "The wise oak". If you are not sure how this work also check guide on this specific flask, but it is a must have dps flask.

3/ Change your Ascendency setup :

Spoiler

You have taken "malediction", but you only have 1 curse. It is not optimized and changing to "forbidden power" will give better result with only 1 curse.

If you want to keep Malediction, you want to invest into a second curse, either on corrupted gloves, or with blasphemy (mana reservation problem incoming)

4/ Optimize your mana cost and utility slot gem in your shav slot :

Spoiler

Using more multiplier with mana cost on frenzy is only usefull when using the helmet "Indigon". Since you are not, you can sefly remove power charge on crit from your frenzy setup.
Arcane surge could be removed, but having it on frenzy can be a good quality of life perma buff.

I would suggest to get more utility setup, especialy Vaal RF if you have damage problem. It is possible to proc it at least once on most of the boss, and the damage output given by this gem is ENORMOUS !!

If you have a hard time on a specific boss, you can also use Vaal Grace, or even a purity, it can sometimes help if you struggle.

In principle you are correct - there is false information in here though:


1. Arc hits hard against bosses as well - its inherent *more* multiplier is also in effect. It gets more *more* (heh) damage for each chain remaining. And against one enemy/a boss thats always the case. You seem to have something mixed up there. You are correct though that Ball Lightning does the most work against bosses! I think thats the important part. :)

2. Yup. Those flasks are strong. DiamondFlask as well. (though most people have that anyhow)

3. I think Malediction gives the better result anyhow - its a 10% more multiplier and you take 10% less damage. Overall I think thats better then Forbidden Power which only increases Damage.

4. Yup.
