Any reason you suggest formless flame over formless inferno? The latter has way more armor.

1. the -30% fire res means we get 30% less overall armor
2. %phys taken as fire makes us weaker because the build has strong phys reduction
3. -20 fire damage taken from hits is only available in formless flame

Hmmm, is a bit discouraging see you guys struggling with this build, I was already leveling a marauder to try out this build but at this point I'm a little bit afraid start to invest my hard earned 25 exalts on this build just to find out it just sucks...

Nobody already tried to maybe tweak it a little bit to use low life mechanics with Bloodthirst + petrified blood and maybe str stacking? I don't know, just giving out ideas about how we can make this build work without having to invest 100 exalts on it.

Any view from the build creator? Did he made any progress? I just see the 2 exalt build updated for ultimatum league, the rest is as before.

yep, in every league there are people who struggles and people who works things out, it's fairly normal.

I experimented several low life mechanics already will put that in the mid-budget update soon. This league my play time is limited so the progress is slow so please be patient

Thanks Jenno, really appreciate ;)

Hi Jenno, great build!

Unfortunately this league everything seems to be extra expensive :/ For end game which one is better - Corrupted Soul or Transcendence keystones?
Can't decide between these two.

Guys, just get tailwind\elusive boots asap. I'm sure it's much priority then anything else of high tier equipment (costs me 13 ex, i'm sure u can craft it much cheaper). These boots makes your life better for sure) Dunno why but most of tops on poe.ninja has no these.

U can use harvest reforge to obtain most of end game gear.



(don't forget to use catalyst, 4 of them used on NORMAL item gives u +20 quality)

Try to use your harvest as much efficient as possible


I didn't say that u can get all gear just by clicking few times, it can take a lot of tries (especiale for belt, i crafted it by fossil spam) but u can try. it's free)
If u have currency obtaining strategy based of these harvest reforges, i guess u should just buy all gear)

About cluster jewels - i was spend A LOT of reforges on mediums clusters (fire mod) and get non, so it's much easier just to buy cooked\smoking (for me). Phys\attack reforges slams devastator pretty often.

I'm rly love this build - for playstile, for min\max, for ONEFCKINGSHOTS BOOM BOOYA =)

If u upset cuz of prices or bad gearing expirience im'sad about it, yeah we got nerfed - exerted attacks, harvest, new meta that raised the price. But give this build one more chance - the most difficult part of this build is conversion from non crit to crit. Hit it and rejoice.

And yeah - pls read first post, there is a TONN of info u need.

Jenno - gl with deeds.
ps - sorry for english, it's not native

I'm in love with elusive + tailwind boots. Increased map clear speed drastically.

Currently level 86 and sitting at 7.4mil Sirus DPS with only 1-2ex invested and only level 19 gems, but feels sooooo squishy. I am missing some life nodes on the tree but even with them I don't think it's gonna be enough defenses.

Ultimatums on T14+ are basically impossible. Can kill map bosses but sometimes takes a few portals especially if it's a nasty boss and bad mod combos. Baran is a nightmare because of the mana draining runes everywhere, queue up the warcries and then get mana drained before you can slam. I am 1 conqueror away from spawning Sirus but I don't think I will be able to kill him :(

you can get a militant faith and start running transcendent. But from your description it seems like a play style issue too, because I was clearing corrupted t16 ultimatum using the 2ex gear. You can read the Q&A on how to be tanky, basically it involves managing your war cry, end charges, and keep moving, keep all flaks on etc.

Ultimatums are about only worth it in open areas where you can quicksilver + flame dash in the circle because facetanking is a no-no.(ive outran the fucking frenzy apes several times only stopping to smack them for more flask charges)

Even with 7 end charges up and timing the war crys, stopping for 1 second to slam the enemies in a high tier ultimatum is enough time to get killed by the mobs. The only ones that are possible are survival because you can just run around until the timer expires. Same story for some high tier bosses and conquerors, running around is fine, then you stop to hit them and get gibbed or run out of flask charges

I'm not trying to criticize the build, it is fun, and on lower tier content it facerolls everything. I just feel like it's the kind of build where you need the investment to either 1shot high tier bosses, or you die
