Hello there,

I've been playing this build for some time now and noticed that I'm VERY squishy (I have over 200 deaths, but like 100 of them were in campaign). My dps feels alright and I think I know how to improve it. So any tips for improving survivability would be great. :)

Oh and after getting to 90 passives I noticed that the passive tree doesn't go any further so I tried to move forward with this one: https://pastebin.com/Z3yxQjeq

If anyone has any questions, feel free to reply and I’ll answer them. Have played this as league starter this league and done all content on a 4-5ex budget without any issues.

If there is a lot of interest I can write a more in depth guide. Kinda odd that this build has 2% of the player base and doesn’t have a super involved guide anywhere. Can look at my post history if you are curious on some of the builds I’ve done in the past.

Hi, so I'm just about hitting red maps (decided to take it chill this league), just defeated Black Star and Unending Hunger which dps wise, weren't too difficult, maybe due to area level but I know very quickly im going to hit a dps/survivability wall soon, especially when I eventually get to Searing Exarch and Eater of Worlds which I guess will be area lvl 84 fights.

Rng has been pretty scuffed for me, only found 1 raw ex so far which I put into my staff and a 6-link chest. Probably have around 1.5 ex worth of currency, (130 chaos and random bits and bobs like a few decent deli orbs I could sell).

What should be my priority upgrade wise with what little currency I have, or what mapping/atlas strat should I do to farm more currency that my semi-scuffed build wouldn't struggle with or doesn't require a large initial investment?

Appreciate you taking the time to do this, this build has potential, would be nice if the guide creator comes back and fleshes the original post out with gear transition goals and what content it can or can't manage at different stages, especially with the new endgame.

Pretty similar advice to the guy above. The top part of the tree is a trap - you get way more dps and survival by focusing on the bottom side.

OP has some strange choices in terms of points spent, check my tree for some better pathing and node choices.

Cheap upgrades would be amulet w/ multi, some new jewels and crown of the inward eye.

After that, either a crit chest, or Ryslatha's, both can be had under a few ex.
