[3.10] Storm Brand – Great League Starter – Deathless Sirus/Uber Elder - Life / LL-ES / Boss killer
" It doesn't matter but you have to spend your passive point into it in order to be able to generate that charges |

As Cluster Jewels weren't posted in the original guide I am going to elaborate them now so you know which one is best to choose for.
Cluster Jewels are good and I think you should use them to their full potential so if you are able to build full large tree do that it will boost your single target damage and clear speed aswell. Cluster Jewels sorted by their total DPS increase (always doublecheck that in PoB)
Spoiler
Large Cluster Jewels: - look on the increase lightning damage ones as they give you more DPS than the cold ones Some other stats are good aswell, find those you actually need Notable passives (sorted by DPS): Snowstorm Stormrider Prismatic Heart (resists also) Overshock Disorienting Display (really good defense ability aswell) Thunderstruck
Spoiler
Medium Cluster Jewels
On medium cluster jewels you can choose if you want to increase your single target damage or enhance your clear potenatial. For clearing I am using Remarkable and Grand Design as they increase number of brands you can summon = more clearing potential. For harder bosses (Sirus, Uber Elder) I am switching to single target clusters Chip Away and Brand Loyalty Chip Away (Best signle target DPS) Brand Loyalty Holy Conquest Remarkable Grand Design Seeker Runes
Spoiler
Small Cluster Jewels
Small Cluster Jewels are just for defense of utility. Most of the time I am playing with Energy from Naught as they increase our survivability so much. Last edited by kubicka#7729 on Apr 18, 2020, 1:38:19 AM

Before anything, I would like to thank MetalCrawler for sharing his knogledge and his build. And all players that joined this thread, especially raflikz.
I will try leave the most information that i can to help any player who try this build, i followed this guide as close as i could. The Life Build is pretty solid, and the Shield Chage gameplay is pretty fun playstyle, i played another Stormbrand build with a lot of mov speed, but this one its really great. Either version is very tank, the LL a bit more but, even the life version can handle T10 maps with. I changed for the LL level 88, With basically all gear (farmed some bligth maps) I thinks the expensive ons was the Shavrones that i payed 4 ou 5 ex (6 link) with good stats and the wand that i crafted but spent some exalteds with alterations and craft. The clear in the maps are smoth, farming some hydras and carcass, if u add Chain tip from raflikz its even better. Yesterday i beat AL 6 Sirus i think my character/gear lack a bit of damage, bosses like him, Chimera, Hydra seems a little bit tank. If someone help me with this would be awesome. A little advice for anyone who wanna try this or any other build, the game isn't only about level and skill tree, your will need to invest in your gear to achive your goals. Here's my gear: Wondering if i get a Bottled Faith or Unnatural instinct. |

hey guys, currently lvl87, and I'm seriously lacking dps and ES. Where am I wrong? Can anyone please look at my profil an help me...

Around what should my life\ES and DPS with this build be at level ~87? Feels like I'm having serious problems with it, since I'm being one shot with 70 level Atziri and 74 level Chayula again and again.

" Your damage is not too bad, you have like 1M DPS on one brand. How long does it take to kill Hydra for example? Try to find a way how to generate frenzy charges, either through gloves or timeless jewel (which good be quite expensive). Upgrade your non-unique jewels I think you can find better ones for pretty cheap price tag. Also you can switch your passive tree a bit to get more points and put them into more damage nodes. Check my character sheet. Getting bottled faith is really good, it will raise your DPS for a lot but is really expensive as well. Unnatural instinct is worth only if you can place it on good jewel node. I would rather take some DMG jewel than this one. Last edited by kubicka#7729 on Apr 21, 2020, 5:10:27 AM

I can't see which points you have allocated in cluster jewels but, you're missing some key points in the skill tree. Allocate Annihilation it will give you quite a lot of DPS. Get the fourth and fifth jewel socket.
Try to find a way how to generate frenzy charges, either through gloves or timeless jewel (which good be quite expensive). Get better jewels like good rolled watcher's eye, but always check you PoB if it'll get you better DPS. Get sulphur flask instead of quicksilver one. Get better wand, I think you can find better for very cheap. Look for stats like spell damage, spell crit, elemental as extra chaos or non-chaos as extra elemental, flat lightning to spells and cast speed.

" Being one shot by Atziri is quite normal as she has spell reflect. I would say if you have the currency then respec to LL version as it is more tankier and have bigger DPS. |

Kubicka any idea for my character? I respec by following your skilltree and character. But i'm seriously lacking some dps...
