It is one of the aspects that I do enjoy about the build. It offers a good amount of freedom in respects to what gear to use. Congrats to the über elder kill, and to getting really nice gear early on in the league. How did the über kill go for you?

This is the first league I've played where I've been able to farm uber elder effectively. I played a lot in Abyss, lightly during Bestiary/Incursion and skipped Delve. Really I'm just excusing that it isn't a perfect execution kill, but it is easily deathless (I did die twice on my first ue - this is my fifth ue kill). Shaper is trivial.

I had just hit 96 and died five times doing HotG but got that done too. With a little practice and swapping to chaos/dot res pantheon and amethyst/ruby flasks you could probably get it done deathless with this build np.

Hello,

Principally thanks for great guide. I am currently playing this build i can say i've made almost same build.

I want to use hatred on weapon sockets but i'm not sure if 5% of mana could be enough for runs. (45% HoA, 50% Hatred). Can you give me a suggestion?

Thanks in advance

• Use a level 3-4 Enlighten.
• Pick up some of the Reduced Mana Reserved nodes close to the Templar starting area.
• Use the -# reduced mana cost to skills craft on your rings.
• Use an Essence Worm
• Get a combination of larger mana pool and %reduced cost of skills from the passive tree.

Hi. Fun to hear that you've come up with a quite similar build :)

You have multiple options on how to deal with the 95% mana reservation.

• Use a level 3-4 Enlighten.
• Pick up some of the Reduced Mana Reserved nodes close to the Templar starting area.
• Use the -# reduced mana cost to skills craft on your rings.
• Use an Essence Worm
• Get a combination of larger mana pool and %reduced cost of skills from the passive tree.

Depending on your budget you could go for any one of these or with a combination of them. In the end you should pick the one that is easiest / feels best for your setup.

The first of all is to say thank you very much for the build. Last season I did this build, and the truth is that it was great, and I liked it so much that I tried to do it again this season.

I have to say it's great with the changes that have been made this season. I managed to kill the Uber-Elder, with the average configuration of equipment, and it goes great.

I love this build. Did something similar in delve. My currency sucks: ( and I'm wondering if a five link Calamity is better than a rare six link which I have. The only expensive items I got was a level 21 agony gem and the enchant two more projectiles so I'm trying to determine if a five link Calamity is worth it. I'm not close to a six link one.

You're most welcome :) Congratulations to the Über Elder kill! Was it your first kill?

Deathless is still deathless, and if you pick a build that makes the encounter very forgiving... who can blame you? ;)

Nice videos there. Shaper is getting to that point to me too where he is pretty much trivial with any build I try it with. Lets hope that GGG makes more fun and hard encounters like the Über Elder fight in the future.
