Well, you're in a 5link and talking about oshabi who has like the most HP of all end-game bosses pretty much:)

Granted I kill awakener on a 5L and showed it's possible to clear t16s on a 5L in previous leagues, but its still not gonna feel smooth obviously... POE is balanced around having a 6L for endgame bossing/t16 - not to mention, we're playing the biggest nerf league of all times --- all your support gems has been reduced in effectiveness, making a 5L even rougher in ALL builds across the table.

However an immediate help to kill bosses would be to exchange your elem focus for lightning pen. That should feel better and speed it up a little.

Perhaps if you have a very low mana pool, you might consider using the alternative way of cursing with arcanist brand.

For survival, you should be ok if you got 7kes + but obviously getting rumi's flask will also help you. In general, since all flask charges and flasks have been nerfed, all builds suffer having less uptime on defensive flasks.

Luckily for the most part our biggest source of survival layering comes from our ascendancy and es-on-block shields. (regen, recovery, blinding all and blocking)

If you got currency to spend, then getting a crown of the inward eye with lab enchant would also boost your dps significantly. You could prolly sell your old helmet for half or more of the investment towards an inward eye.

In 2-3'ish levels, switch alira to +2 instead and start the cluster setup which will provide you with a bunch of penetration that will help a lot vs bossing as well.

6-Link is still your biggest gain of all these things though, and in this nerf league considering the state of support gems in general, i'd say 6link is required for endgame content to feel good, a 5L can manage with good gear around it, but it won't feel great.

For the weapons, you'd have to check POB with your own character loaded up.

Hope it all helps though, Hf :)[/quote]

Hmm I see. I will try lightning pen then. Thank you. Next step would be 6link shavs. I had Crown but its very pricy with this enchant. Almost the price of 6links shaves so i bought helmet base with enchant to crusader orb it in near future and craft on it. Since this enchant helps clearing A LOT. Not sure about about it now tho.

Oh i got like 94 free mana but to cast level 20 assassin mark plus trap i need like 120 or smthing. And i got 20% mana ring plus 100 mana on wep so yeah. Im not sure increased duration is necessary here.

Hm yeah i think i kinda need cluster setup with this 2 points from bandits.


I got 8.2k ES plus 74% block and 72% spell block with tempest shield so im not sure about Rumis. I kinda feel im lacking some physical reduction since i got 0% phys reduction. Was thinking about aspect of the crab but i wont be able to fit it in. And this build kinda requires standing in one place for most dps. Hmm.

Okay. Thanks anyway.

Upon testing i think lightning penetration is by far better choice then elemental focus Stuff dies so much faster and lot of boss dps. Plus lightning trap shocks enemies up to 50% when skitterbots shocks only up to 17% or something. I might even go with crit support instead of ele focus for 6link.

On 5link t16 boss with 48% more hp and maven on it died around 20secs with light pen. On ele focus it took at least 3x times longer

Was on hybrid (3k life, 3k ES)

I managed to get a 5 link shavronne's wrapping. Mapping is feeling fine in yellow maps so far. Damage and defensively. Running with low life and about 4.5k es.

I still to farm a few items. Whats the general priority in items? I was thinking of obtaining in the following order.

Flasks (just switched over and still have life flasks)
Better wand, amulet, jewelery, belt.
Presence of Chayula
ES shield with ES gain on block?
Lightning trap enchant helmet?
Cluster jewel setup
6 link shavs?


Also thanks for the guide, lightning trap is fun to play with so far.

Great to hear it mate, I was suspecting you needed the pen in the 5L for T16's and end-game. :)

Hey mate,

I'd get a better wand asap, as you can grab them really cheap with 100+ flat% dmg and t1 or t2 added lightning to spells (for around 1-4c only)

Next i'd just try to make sure to have decent ES on all items, as you can grab items with pretty good ES for 1-2c each and it'll help you a lot. Get a shield with at least 250+ ES asap, wait with es-on-block mods.

Get a bated breath belt imo for 1 alch, a great es booster item.
Rings are about 1-2c each with 40+ raw ES and some resist.

Fix the tree a bit, drop the heart&soul, deep wisdom & arcanists and pickup arcane potency, throatseeker and doom cast.

Get a VAAL discipline, its HUGE for survival, it's literally the health-flask of an ES build. Even if you don't reserve discipline, you can still use it's vaal button to save yourself anytime you feel threatened.

Consider lvl 21 Ltrap gem, they are cheap and will be a nice damage boost.

Next "big" item is the chayula amulet --- until u get it, use brine king pantheon.

Get a wise oak and diamond flask in place of your life flasks.

Gl and have fun mate :)

Adding a new image to the leveling section which should help everyone that don't like to open POB much while leveling ;P

Heys mate, awesome guide, very detailed.

Having some trouble with my dealing damage at the moment, hard to place traps or is my damage just not enough, could you help me take a look at my character, Thanks!

Hello guys, So I have reached level 84 and yellow maps running half this build tbh. made the currency and switched to low life, so you will notice alot of low levelled gems and such.

So I have few questions right now, first: why is my attack block at 75% but spell block at 62% how do I max that too? Did I miss something?

Also, I know my weapon isnt the best, but what do you think my next upgrade should be moving forward? higher ES shield? higher ES boots and gloves? better weapon?

Also, Why does my PoB show that my resists have 40%+ extra uncapped res? ingame im 68% lighting (happened after new wepon, forgot about the 7% res there), cold on 8% and fire on 81%. so why is it so high on pob? also i feel like pob isnt calculating my dps very well? when I increase level and quality of gems like wrath, it doesnt show a dps increase

Anyway the bigger problem was that it seems like im doing ~200k per mine without flask and mark. And around 340k with. It takes ages to kill some bosses.

And today i wasnt able to kill oshabi. Wasted 6portals. Felt Zdps and i was getting kinda one-shoted while standing still. Kinda discouraged me from continuing with build. And i think i got pretty decent gear.

I fear all builds across the board have this problem. Especially early in the league this was a MAJOR problem for this build imo. Thus I went with a freeze setup variant first until I can get my hands on a 6L (which seems like a must this league for many builds in endgame).
At least the freeze provide me safety to kill things slowly while I try to make some currency and it made most excavation encounters super safe as well, off-screen freezing them.

Isn't the trigger setup really hard to pull off now? I've got 80 total unreserved mana and a lvl 1 WoC costs 29 mana with assassins mark lvl 20 costing 97, coupled with increased duration means that assassins mark will never actually cast due to the trigger changes. Do you recommend just using arcanist brand hard casting in this situation?

Hi there, thank you for your build! It's been doing great thus far, but I've hit a slight wall and wondering what I should prioritize for my next upgrade.

I'm running a low life 5-link shav with a medium cluster with set and forget and sabotage. I'm still using random flasks at this time and will eventually pick up wiseoak.
