Hello thanks so much for this guide I'm having lots of fun but with 1 problem. I keep dying to bosses at from t14. I can't really face tank them I always take a huge chunk of damage and cannot out regen the damage. I'm level 84 with 5.2k hp and using wither with firestorm. I assume I'm either not supposed to take so much damage or my regen should be higher. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? I'm using the set up in your guide.

Your gears are fine (although total life is a bit low, but from your discription you didnt die from one shots).

You should replace ele focus in your helmet with combustion. Ele focus is more damage but prevents VMS to ignite (hence regen).

It then comes down to fight style. Does the boss do a lot of fire damage? Does the boss have crit + gain ele damage mods? Also remember to always disable RF when it's not needed - RF only buffs VMS, not HOAG.

thanks for the response! really appreciate it.

i would sometimes die from one shots but that's understandably from my low hp. It's the part that I'm not out regening when I've not been one shot that's really frustrating me. I watched your videos and you could face tank even shaper so I assume any other bosses would be a walk in the park.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm going to try it and hope it works xD

Vaal Molten Shell (VMS) and Vaal Rightous Fire (VRF) are abused for boss fights. Every time you ignites and enemy your VMS will pop, dealing some 70k dmg per hit. With all the duration nodes VMS lasts 9.5 seconds. In theory you are igniting 50-100 times per second, but in reality Shaper DPS (tested with Guardian) is more like 2-3M. The lost damage is possibly due to internet tick delay or server side.

From the description of CWDT, it doesn't support Vaal Skills, so in effect only normal MS will trigger and not VMS. Doesn't this contradicts your statement?

From Juggernaut Ascendancy, there is chill immunity, but no freeze immunity.

Thanks for quick reply.

Btw, I just tried using VRF and it made me cry. As soon as the mobs were dead (which was impressively fast), I poped dousing but the hp still drained down to 1 hp. And while at it, an unknown ranged devil sent me to my oblivion on 1 hit. How do you handle that?

Hi there, dousing (removes burning) is only in this build to stop RF not VRF. I'd only use VRF for very tanky bosses (eg guardians) for the 39% more spell damage buff, and your 30% HP removed should heal back almost instantly. For most other bosses (eg HP < 3Million) just VMS itself should melt them down.

It might be something else that drains your HP, since VRF only removes 30% of your HP, there is no degen effect attached. Did you accidentally press RF after poping your flask?

Edit: I had a look at your character, interesting choice to go for Scion...

Your VMS is underleveled. Did you keep it low to be able to trigger by Lv1 CWDT? VMS should be as high level as possible, if you want auto trigger MS you can link it to a level 20 CWDT.
