Btw,

When fighting vs a big boss i usually pop life flask with anti-bleeding, so am i losing dps? Maybe would be a good idea to put a Life flask with anti-curses for example and antoher flask for anti-bleed ?

Exactly. Theres no need for life flask vs a boss, only after the boss is dead you can pop life flask with anti bleed just to be sure.

What killed you?

Rico, can you check my items and tell me what should i improve next? I have 6,2k hp pool right now and 5.2 APS with a 18% CDR belt. Is it worth to go for Berserking (3 passive points) or the +1 frenzy at the bottom is better?

5.2 aps before or after frenzy charges? You should have 5.0 at min before.

Anyway not much to improve except maybe lvl 21 Arc. +1 Frenzy charge on the bottom is a good option. Another good option is to take 15% chance to bleed from passive tree for 2 points (near Duelist, right bottom from Unwavering stance). This is something im playing with since lvl 90 (currently at 92). It is enough for 100% up time on bosses and it is global so you will have frenzy charges with lightining strike and shield charge as well as molten strike. What is most important you can than throw away chance to bleed support and use fortify on molten to just facetank any boss.

Dunno about your Pantheon but you should have Tukohama + Tahsin and Arakaali + Armala and + Queen of the great Tangle

First, thank you for your quick answer!

I have 5.2 aps before frenzy charges. I had 5.6 with Berserking passives but i refunded those 3 points and i spent them into life nodes. I will get the 15% chance to bleed passive, thanks!

I am running uber lab for +40% Discharge or Arc damage atm.

I did some minor tweaks to the build. Still lacking lvl 21 Discharge and Arc, 40% Arc enchant, 20/20 on Heralds, lvl 4 Enlighten (saves me 3 points), 10%-15% penetration Watchers Eye, 15-20% dmg increase craft on belt and also +1 Frenzy corruption on gloves - so at the end DPS will improve greatly (up to 600k Shaper as title says).


That said heres a Classic Mjolner vs The Red Elder facetank (Betrayal league):

Gear used in the vids:





Now the main tweasts here vs the original guide are:
------------------------------------------------------------

- I took 15% chance to bleed for 2 points from the passive tree. This is global so we can now have frenzy charges with every attack, which improves overall mobility and clear speed. But most important - chance to bleed support can now be dropped and we can use GMP + Fortify + LGOH in the main link (which is huge).

- Ascendancy change from Beacon of Ruin to Paragon of Calamity. I did some math behind dmg increase with shock and other stuff on different lvls of gear and what I found out is that DPS difference is not 20% as I initially tought. This is simply because Paragon of Calamity has build in 0.5% life leech so Warlods Mark can be exchanged for Elemental Weakness to gain some DPS back. Also Paragon of Calamity offers all ress (and this saves 1 point from the passive tree) more than that - it has some temp DPS buffs like 40% dmg increase after being hit with certain element. All in all with finished build things looks like this:



Note: If I drop Warlords Mark and use Ele Weakness on Beacon of Ruin DPS difference will be greater (575k vs 615k). And this is something I will test in near future (no life leech). Also clear speed is much much better with Beacon of Ruin.

lvl 80 Syndicate's Safehouse run with Beacon of Ruin setup:

Now with Paragon's of Calamity "build in" life leech I tried to drop LGOH from the main link and failed. Well it was fine... untill end-game stuff like Elder Guardians and Elder himself. Also Syndicate on red maps with hard mods are not as tankable as with LGOH. So I will still recommend to stick with it. This is not Juggernaut nor Inyas Epiphanys based build so endurance charges alone are not enough. In summary with life regen, increased life recovery from Pantheon, 0.5% life leech, Kingsguard healing and 20/20 LGOH on a GMPed Molten - life sustain, even while bleeding, burning, poisoned and under heavy load is nothing but exceptional. In short - if something doesnt one shot you - you will not die.

That said T14 Palace Dominus Touch of God (TM) as well as T11 Elder slams are fully tankable with 5.9k life, Fortify, The Red Trails additional 10% reduction and Tukohama's 8% reduction (while stationary). T13 Elder slams are tankable with 6k life. T14-T15 Elder requires 6.2k life, I would now guess Uber Elder would need 6.3k+. For Shaper 6.2k should be enough thou.

Now I will be off for a weak (sking) so any further updates will put on hold during that time. Anyway happy farming!


Paragon of Calamity version final PoB (however im not sold on this yet...):

how come you have both molten strike and lightning strike?

Firs a vid with most current setup to demonstrate damage output with near finished build (full setup showed at the end of a vid):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJVhymJf0Z4

So after short romanse with Calamity I went back to Beacon of Ruin. It is just to good DPS wise. I also updated Mjolner setup:



Bought both lvl 21 gems for total of 70c as we dont need quality ones (Witch has build in 75% increased AoE and 100% chance to shock / ignite / chill).

Also 2 of 3 Heralds lvled to 20/20 and 2 of 3 Faster Attacks to 20/20 as well.

Also upgraded CWDT setup:



Frots Bomb is for additional -25% on cold res (which is not affected by curse effectivenes vs Map Boss / Guardian / Shaper) and since with Discharge we are doing mostly cold dmg... (4-5 frenzy charges per Discharge) it works quite well. Arc will also benefit because of added cold from Herald of Ice.

Also finally grabed an Arcane Surge setup because Im done with gem lvling (works fine on a 4link):



All in all DPS starts to feel powerfull. Now only +1 frenzy charge corruption, 40% increased Arc dmg enchant and 10-15% lightning penetration Watchers Eye are things left to finish this build.

Currenly I have reached around 530k Shaper DPS. This is my current PoB with my gear and gems if someones intrested: https://pastebin.com/FEvFVxnb

Now I will be off for a weak so happy hunting!
