Thanks for the build. This is my league starter for 3.17. Can't wait for the updated POB. :)

It's not tanky but it's not glass cannon either so you can barely afford getting hit once by a juiced boss i guess, anymore than that is pushing it.

Is replacing Zealotry with Determination worth it in that aspect?

For all it matters, with my limited game knowledge I am thinking of a small variation, with Determination instead of Zealotry and Defiance banner instead of Dread banner. This amounts to 74% physical dmg reduction which looks decent with our stats and in my eyes it's a fair trade.

Can someone explain how Dread banner works for us? I see the reduced accuracy sure, but do we hit with attacks? We cast spells that doesn't count for impale, right? Or does it work for out golems? Still, does it give so much dmg since we are not stacking physical damage anywhere?

New PoB is out, the numbers look amazing.

Thanks for your suggestion ravensoul, I believe the determination usage will make the build very viable in mapping, with the switch to zealotry for the bosses.

At everyone else, enjoy the build and leave some feedbacks here. From PoB numbers it should feel amazing this league, hope you won't be dissapointed.

Impossible for comfort mapping even with Profane Bloom. Very uncomfortable skill.

Created this build in 3.17. Everything seems to be fine, but chaos damage is a big problem.
3k-4k mana is not enough to not die in oneshot.
all dmy dead are death bt random poison spit.

Same problem for me! Thinking about respec, new items with chaos res and looking at the mana reservation. Clearly chaos is not this builds strong side. Needs to be addressed.

up my chaos res to 50%-60%

at this stats its playable, but you need to be careful with various chaos hits

aaaand, when I wanted to upgrade the build, I was crazy about the prices at traid.

The thing that I bought for 40-50с now costs under 2 ex. O_O

About the poison stuff, flask with immune to poison auto-activated when poisoned? Doesn't that help? I haven't spent time on flasks yet, so I also suffer from poison kills mostly, but I think a flask can help a lot there.

Can someone give some pointers of the wand and how to craft?
So far my best bet is to get decent prefixes and then go 'can have up to 3 crafted mods' -> 'casting speed' -> 'trigger socketed..'
I sort of loose intellect like this but how else..?

Now about getting both +1 spells and +1 lightning plus the spell power... well that looks a bit wild :D

Concerning CL and its clunkiness, I admit arc feels so much better, but single target it lacks any sort of punch. You sort of get used to it and it's fine, to actually demand some attention and brains to play over the mindless auto-casting, auto-targetting builds

I'm at 50% chaos res in red maps with an auto amethyst flask active and setting that up was a godsend.
Not far off hitting 75% chaos res with flask up which I can only assume will resolve the chaos damage issue

I've spent a few passive points on chaos res because I'm really not struggling for dps, and the only actual threat is chaos damage


Edit: Having got 40% base chaos res and near perma uptime on my amethyst flask to bring me to 75 things are definitely much better

Has anyone killed Baran with this build?
This is some kind of horror, he one-shots with every skill and does not allow you to make a hit.
I just don't know what to do with it....
