Can be a pain in the ass since we can't leech during his vanishing phase. You can facetank everything else pretty much if you have appropriate EHP. Just try your best to quickly get through all the clouds to find him again and spam health pot a few times during. But yea I've failed that fight before completely it's well suited to fuck this build up. Have also done it deathless but just when lucky with the phases.

You should probably explain how one would "factank it all" becuase I don't see it. It's a great build in many ways but you should probably explain the defensive capabilities of the build because with only one leech ring (you said that's all we needed) I can barely tank anything. This build for me is mostly about killing stuff off screen.

Hi
In PoB is a Rare staff we use and not Pledge of hands Unique

PoB does not have the new Pledge, so you need to edit the stats on rare to emulate it. Check wiki.

During the shrouded phase use quicksilver flask and basalt flask. The duration should be enough to find him in the clouds. Also flamedash and vaal discipline will help. Regarding the adds, I always stand in the East corner where the mini-bosses come from. They are actually more dangerous than the Chimera itself, especially, the snakes. Always have Atziri's flask for them.

Well, in the guide I wrote that two "are strongly recommended". Regarding the explanation, there is mechanics section you may want to check, and if you want more, then go to maths.

The tankiness comes gradually, and as I also wrote in the beginning you will miss some defensive aspects, which will come with the gear. There is now a cheat-sheet about the gear progression - you may find it useful. Enjoy!

Really interested in trying the build but I can't bring myself to roll a Templar (no offense to all Templars out there, personal preference). Can this work as a Scion or Trickster or other ascendancy, or is the Hierophant absolutely necessary?

Thanks for the great build.

What do you think about using devouring diadem helmet + the queen's hunger torso + wicked ward passive so that we can use ES instead of mana and it will recharge the amount we would need to without interruption, while being able to reserve a lot of auras in to mana and don't have to gather a lot of increased mana % Instead stack strength so we get from shapers touch a lot of flat mana + es% and life (with efficient training jewels we could even transfer that 3 big int nodes near witch in to strength, as well as take the 8% increased strength near Marauder, easily can have minimum of 1k str). Also the helmet + torso would give a lot of es,hp, mana gain (4k hp and es, 2k mana just from helmet, spawning corpses), blocks and atk/cast speed from time to time. To prevent chaos damage to use our mana instead of ES, we can use Esh's Visage (even reserving mana, it's not hard to not hit the low mana cap with Hieropant, Devouring, lvl3 enlight and some aura nodes, which we would already take instead of %mana). As weapon Doon, watcher's eye with 10% damage from mana mode, using lvl 1 clarity, since we don't need it, idealy on The Queen's Hunger a vieled mod "24% of Damage is taken from Mana before Life while Focussed". As soon as I saw your build, thought this could also be an option, with 85% 84% 84% res without flasks, minimum 11% phys reduction also without flasks or golems, losing the total ehp amount, what do you think, would the added mechanics be a trade vs a bigger pool for oneshoots?

This can work on Scion (with Elementalist) or Trickster, but then you loose much of the tankiness, and this build is all about it. We do not actually need more damage as long as you can deal it in reliable fashion. You can have 10 MSPS, but if your char is a glass cannon, the windows to deal this damage are very short at the end. The overall DPS of this build is quite similar then. You can always try, however.
