Heya! At the moment I'm planning on getting a Threado of hope with -10 resists and after that I'll save for a The Saviour, prices are starting to drop, so might expect to be able to grab one soon for 6ex or even less. For now try getting a Ryslatha.

Also, remember that using 2 guard skills on CWDT is unoptimal since they share cooldown.

Thanks for the tip on guard, didnt notice!

What would you suggest swapping it out for?

Another warcry?

I looked at Phase Run but it consumes your frenzy charges but does give 40% movespeed + phasing for like 5 seconds and damage increase

So I'm doing a low life champion version of the build with 100% uptime on adrenaline, it's going pretty well. https://pastebin.com/L3dTNuJa

I'm thinking about crafting a chest but I've noticed that you've suggested explode mod for chest. Isn't explode actively bad for our build since it destroys impales so we can't CoS?

Heya! I just looked at your character PoB and made some adjustments. https://pastebin.com/5tSqkSRw

Try getting a pride aura in the helmet and get the new setups i did in the links. I'm gonna update the low budget PoBs now that I saw I didn't upload the optimal PoB files to pastebin.

Appreciate all the help, brill guide so far.

Why would I take increased duration? Steelskin duration is pointless surely?

and Vaal Grace says "modifiers to buff duration also apply to this skill soul gain prevention" no idea what that means

Heya! Thanks for replying! The explode mod, as mentioned on the gear recommendations, is not a must anymore because it was nerfed and is not a guaranteed proc, before it helped with clearing because of the chain explosions, but now it only helps a little. But having that in mind, since we do not have a guaranteed explosion proc, you're not destroying all enemies' bodies and you don't need a lot of impales on enemies to regain all 12 steel shards. Nevertheless, don't go for it, it's only worth going for it in the high-end when you're interested in running 100% deli maps or simulacrums.

I see that you got the 51% unreserved life setup with petrified blood. I tried that but didn't like it, even with 90% phys dmg reduction and my current LGOH and leech rate I was still being occasionally one shot in red maps. Dropped that setup and stopped dying in situations that befor could one shot me. It's a great setup, but I think it might be better if you have more maximum life and Divine flesh with 80% chaos res. Later on I'm gonna get equips to cap my chaos res and try divine flesh, it looks life an awesome damage mitigation setup, but before then I wont be trying that again soon hehe.

Edit: At a certain damage threshold you'll not be needing to consistently keep your shards up to clear normal content(heists, non-deli maps), so it wont really make a difference destroying the enemies.

Edit²: I was using a 40% attack block setup with petrified blood.

Hmm I see, I will probably just craft a +crit body armour and call it a day for now then.

As for survivability of petrified blood, I have died a couple of times due to one shots but I usually play squishy casters so... Just don't get hit haha. I actually use splitting steel when I map since it just clears the screen in 2 hits and does really well in ultimatums.

Funnily enough I was actually considering switching off low life once I am more invested. Blood thirst doesn't seem that much better then other supports when I am going full unga-bunga damage with 4-5k life. Dreadbeak is amazing at is price point when low life but will be switched out quite soon. Bring able to use pride + HoP+ aspect of spider+banner should bring more DPS then whatever adrenaline provides too.
