What wrath affix am i looking for? increased affect?

For your Essence Worm? Just buy a regular one, no need for a corrupt implicit.

The only useful one would be increased wrath aura effect, however, it's going to be expensive, there are currently none on the market even searching offline sellers, and it's not going to make that much of a difference. A max roll of 20% is a 4.5% increased in DPS.

the discord link expired, can someone create a new one please?

What is the best way to craft a good gear for this build?

I want to try this build in SSFHC or SSF.

Using Craft of exile with:
- Essence of Woe: seems a good try
- Essence of Torment: probably the best
- Fossil: Aetheri + Lucent + Metallic
- Harvest: doens't seems so good
- Alt + Transmute and so on seems a no go

Can someone know a better solution?

I've tried only for the weapon, not for all the gear, so i kinda need help for every piece.



Thanks.

Thanks.

Most of the gear is uniques. Helmet, chest, ring, amulet... so you need to craft one ring, belt, gloves, boots, and weapons.

For the endgame weapons:
- Start with a +40% elemental damage base
- Alt spam until you get T1 hybrid spell damage + mana
- Harvest craft fracture until you fracture the T1 from the previous step
- Essence craft for guaranteed spell damage, hope for T1 mana as well
- Once you get all three prefixes - spell damage, mana, and hybrid spell damage + mana, either harvest craft reforge keep prefixes, or benchcraft multimod and apply whatever 2 suffixes you prefer.

The thing is, chances of getting all of the above in a SSF league? Pretty small. I've only seen one fracture craft this entire league, and your chances are at best 1:3 just for that step.

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to ChemistHCSSF for sharing this amazing build. Definitely the tankiest/highest DPS build I've ever played. This was my first league Bossing and I'm glad I chose this build for such and endeavor. Spent most of the league farming The Feared and it has been a ton of fun pushing this build to it's limits.

This was the gear I ended on (Ring, Gloves, Crusader Sceptre, and Amulet were self-crafted):

Some notes:


-I dropped Vigilant Strike because it felt too clunky and felt dangerous to try to do while bossing. Normal mapping felt fine without it.

-I dropped Wind Dancer, and some life nodes in favor of more skill points towards DPS/Mana/Jewel Socket. I play softcore so losing this wasn't too big a deal, and haven't felt like I die more without it.

-Awakened Spell Cascade:
With regular Spell Cascade and Concentrated Effect Support you get a combined (25+30) 55 Less Area of Effect. With Awakened Spell Cascade and Anomalous Concentrated Effect you get a combined (18+40) 58 Less Area of Effect (granted you could use regular Spell Cascade with Anomalous Concentrated Effect for (25+40) 65 Less Area of Effect - but I opted for the QOL that Awakened Spell Cascades gives instead). I ended up using Awakened Spell Cascade and Anomalous Concentrated Effect, and I feel its the best of the options.

-Note I don't have a "Cannot be Inflicted with Corrupted Blood" Jewel, or a Staunching flask. Can't imagine doing that on Hardcore, but I have had no problems thus far without them with the massive amount of regen we get.

Anyway, thanks again for such an incredible build!

Sorry, I don't, I've only seen screenshots of it posted on the Discord server.

If levelling as CA/TR what would the levelling tree look like?

CA and TR both like three damage sources: Chaos damage, damage over time, and area damage. So you search the tree for some close sources of that, preferably that are easy to refund later. So you end up with the clusters Method to the Madness, Aspect of the Eagle, Avatar of the hunt, Deadly draw, Heavy draw, Far sight, Toxic strikes. All these are reasonably close to the starter tree, so can be taken early and refunded when you switch to archmage / BF / BB later.

Which endgame build is best for SSF? Should I aim for following the wrath or the clarity setup? (No HC and assuming I have no cluster setups/specific gear for either yet)
