With the sheer amount of overleech we have, we're pretty much always full ES, mapping or bossing.

Out of curiosity and the hopes to keep educating myself, why does the bossing setup use Cold Pen instead of Energy Leech if that is the case?

Thanks for the great guide!

Ending my day 3 now.

Killed Shaper, Elder and Sirus today, all deathless. Currently level 91.

Working on Maven and Uber Elder next.

The clear speed is not to my liking but if the build gets me my 3rd and 4th watch stones, it will have been a big success for me.

I think I will be able to do Uber Elder easy enough, even with a couple of deaths. I always go into Maven with only 3 portals because I can't do the memory game (outside of the first one) at all and lose portals to those automatically. Hopefully I can get her killed though.

Stayed up a little longer and killed Maven and Uber Elder. Very happy! All core bosses done at level 91. Whew. Finally have all 4 voidstones.

Thank you to the build creator @Kelvynn and a very special thanks to @WinterHiko for patiently answering so many questions.

I have seen some builds using this:

It looks like you don't need clarity in this case?

At some point, you don't need clarity one way or the other. With that said, this ring will indeed solve any mana issues and give you over 1k ES.

Awakened Cold Penetration includes Cold exposure, which works very well against single target.

Congrats on the kills!

EDIT : And -elemental resistance is worth more on bosses, as they usually have more base resistances.

Edit: Nevermind.

Hi, I have been having fun with the build but am now getting slaughtered in red maps. Just lost all 6 portals in a tier 11 map.
Admittedly its mostly league content like blight and expedition, so perhaps I just have to skip that stuff, but everything is taking so long to kill that it ends up killing me first. I might just be juicing things too much and need to scale it back a bit though!

Would appreciate a quick once over to see if I have anything set up wrong. Lots of upgrades still left to do but I don't have a ton of currency left atm.
Thank you for the build.

2 major ones are boots missing anointment (Tranquility) and belt having no int at all. Boots cannot have anointment and lab enchant at the same time. For belt you preferably want synth one with 13-15%int, but they are like 2div right now, but 7-9%int ones seem to be few chaos. Also keep in mind you cannot roll flat int to belt naturally, you need to use essences. +life on belt does nothing.

On passive tree, you have 2 jewel sockets just waiting to be picked. You can get quite lot of extra int from those with Fertile Minds. Astramentis (witch has no quality and can be rolled higher stats with blessed orbs) pretty much means you wont be needing extra stats to wear gear. Or you can find rare jewels with +int and res you need so you can have +int in the belt.

Eldritch mods on gloves/body armour could be better. Only one that really does anything is the increased Hatred effect, but if you are dying you could probably do better with % reduced damage taken/int

Expedition monsters can get quite tanky if they get get multiple defensive mods. But you can dodge most of the hits if you just keep moving, even if takes longer.
