[3.7] Divine Ire Trickster - "Can't Touch This" - 56% Spell Dodge / 67% Evasion / 39% Block

What shield would you recommend other than the light of lunaris? Shaper/elder shield?

I'm new to crafting with that stuff any stats I should be looking for if I go that route?

It's tough to find anything else that can come close to competing in terms of the DPS that Light of Lunaris provides - the crit/mult/cold dmg all synergize well.

A crafted Rare shield however will likely provide more in terms of defense.
Personally, I'd go with a High-Armor shield. Something with at least 2000 armor, rolled with life/resists if necessary - with at least 30% block chance for your Cerberus Limb. A 2000 armor shield provides 400 additional ES with Cerberus, which will outclass most pure-ES shields you can craft - and the additional armor is not negligible at all.

With just a decently rolled Granite Flask of Iron Skin, and Vaal Molten Shell + a shield with around 2000 armor, you should be sitting at well over 10K armor. That's an 8000 absorb shield for about 12 seconds whenever you pop Vaal Molten Shell.

Thanks for the reply, I picked up a lunaris shield, was wondering if there were alternatives.

Thanks for the explanation.

Quick question, why elemental weakness, isn't most of the damage converted to chaos? Why not despair?

Most of the damage of the build is GAINED as extra chaos, not converted. There's a big difference.

You still do the majority of your initial hit damage as Cold - it's just that you have a lot of extra as % chaos, and additional chance per hit via Harness the Void to gain even more as chaos.

Either option would work fine - but if you manually import your character into PoB, and check the curses, you can see which one is better for your character. For my character, Elemental Weakness showed a SLIGHT DPS increase over Despair (minimal difference like <5%).

Sorry I meant to say gained as extra, I know we still do a bunch of cold, POB was just showing like double that in additional chaos. I guess I'll just look at what POB says in the end and not question it.

I'm still also figuring out the buff gems slightly, I'm guessing do wrath+heralds before watchers eye or clear speed in general, and switch to wrath+zeal if I get a double eye?

How to sustain Disintegrator? Its okay in actual fight where Energy and Life leech sustain us, but when move from pack to pack ES can just deplet to zero and i can't use skills, unless i get hit and procs Ghost Dance...

Just stopping by to say thanks for the build. Shaper, uber elder and uber atziri down, pretty easy going. It was my second uber elder kill ever. I'm still not used to the fight mechanics, but this build is tanky enough that it's pretty forgiving if you screw up a few dodges :) I only died once.

Thanks for taking the time putting this build together!

Is there any vid of this build in action?

I'm also very interested in a video. I've been looking for a good shadow build to take on the endgame and this sounds very good.
