Curses aren't resistances.
You still want over 75% resistances because map mods can have a minus to player resistances. Ideally over 90% resistances (except Chaos resistance unless you get some damn good gear lol.

But those map mods are curses, right? "Players are cursed with Elemental Weakness". And my previous characters tactic was to cap resistances to 75% and use curse removal flask (good clear speed so uptime was 100%).

So getting resistances over 75% with this build is not needed, right?

I think when you're unaffected by curses the only map mods that will actually change your resistances are the ones which reduce your maximum resistances, which unfortunately overcapping wouldn't help you with. The reason you try to overcap your resists with non curse-immune builds is because of the "Players are cursed with Elemental Weakness" mod, which obviously doesn't affect us.

I'm pretty sure this is correct.

Atziri's reflection 20ex, when i even cant afford a 6L soul mantle (but im close)
How u guys do it? I already starting yellow maps with 100\154 progress. Build just crushing everything now. Melting metamorphs in second but im aware about red maps and end game bosses. Cost of reflection is like half of headhunter lmao

You're right. I forgot how it was worded.

That's all well and good, but either you farm for Beauty through Death or spam prophecies hoping to get lucky because you still need many Exalts to get those cards.
I get it, they are worth it but how many builds actually use this mirror? I'm genuinely curious.

I've been looking for upgrades for the past two days but can't seem to find any affordable upgrades. As for wands, the ones I look at 1-3+ ex results in worse dps than these two I paid 10c for each. Sometimes I find a wand giving me 25-40k dps increase but they are too costly, and think my currency would be spent better elsewhere. Maybe I should just go for six linking my soul mantle next?

I guess my biggest upgrade was Sanctum of Thought lol

When Vaal RF is active you get a big "More" boost to spell damage (up to 28% more at max gem level). So the RF aura part doesn't do anything, but your totems get a damage boost.

Hello, is there a hardcore version of this build? or do i just have to change my items up
