Hi Andy,

I tried plugging in the mirror wand and ring that you have and only DPS moved significantly, EHP just about 5-10%. Your EHP is almost twice than mine and I'm unsure what to tweak in order to get it up higher. With the endurance and frenzy charges always maxed out with the boots, I was hoping for better EHP numbers. Thoughts on where I how I can improve EHP?

Here's the latest POB: https://pobb.in/wZXB3OVe-sqr

Thank you!

Hi Boss!

Here are some reasons why your EHP is lower than mine:

* Your Chaos res is -1%. Mine is 76%. Note that you should be looking to get a ton of chaos on your ring. You are WAY over kill on cold resistance. Change that stat out for as much chaos res as you can get.

* Your max ele resists are 75%. Mine are 78%

* Your mana pool is significantly smaller (5242 compared to 7247), this is important for Mind Over Matter

* I am crit immune, you are taking 100% of crit damage

* Your life + ES is much lower than mine



Please note that the version you are running will always have less EHP by definition than the version I run due to the gear you have (Badge and Ralakesh) as your version is more offense oriented. Mine is more defense oriented. I pump up my offense via the ring and wand.

Also note that the mirror ring is not for your version of the build as the Frenzy mod is wasted for you.

Two config notes:

1) Your inspiration charges are too high. We do not maintain max inspiration charges. I would recommend lowering this to 3, which is more around the average we maintain.

2) You are selecting Enemy is Unnerved but you do not have a source of unnerve, which we normally get from our Glove implicit. You are so far over capped on cold resistance, that I think you can also get rid of the cold res on the glove implicit and get Chance to Unnerve on Hit instead.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I reuploaded the POB. Somehow, it got bugged the last time and messed with the glove stats -- and i was on a gold flask too when i took the snapshot instead of amethyst:

I have a 50% crit avoidance chest that I only swap out when running crit maps -- when I wear it, it gives me less net EHP (even when 100% crit immune) and the current one has more DPS due to the extra 2 levels to the AOE gems.

While working on getting a mirror ring, I'll craft a new amethyst one to cover the 16% chaos res deficiency.

The ralakesh/badge version sacrifices a lot of survivability because of losing out on life rolls and you've made it worse by not investing at all in chaos resistance. There is a reason that it is suggested you run an amethyst flask with mb and its because if you don't invest in chaos resist chaos damage will kill you very easily. Your phys and ele max hit is about 20% lower than mine because of inoptimal or inextant life rolls on gear, your chaos max hit is less than a quarter of mine, given that I can facetank anything short of a 150 pack size titanic scarab t17 boss with 60% delirium I can say with some degree of certainty that the issue is your abysmal chaos resist. You are also not crit immune so crit mods on maps can be incredibly rippy, I would recommend at least investing in a crit reduction chest.

Thank you for the constructive feedback. I have a 50% crit avoidance chest that I swap out depending on map mods -- the current one just has more EHP and DPS when running non-crit maps. About to craft a ring to sort the chaos deficiency.

I still have my non-ralakesh gear just in case it gets super rippy. Thus far, I'm fine running the farm rotations I do:

1. t16 strand, anarchy, titanic scarap, anarchy scarab, 2xgigantification, wisp, deli mirror + unnending nightmare

2. t17, domination, 2xwisp scarab, bloodlines, glittering, monstrous lineage, deli orb 60%

I'm up to 250 div and am ready for my first mageblood, I think. Can someone please review my build? I think I need more mana on my weapon, but not sure what else to do. I've never had a mageblood, so do I buy a 3 slot for 4 slot? It looks like we run bottled faith and rumi's, so only a 3 slot is needed?

thanks all!!!

This is my first season, I followed the build, Idk why my eHP 825k but i feel super fragile, any advise for me

That looks much better with the correct POB.

Two comments:

1) Do not get too hung up on EHP. Many build creators are asking for the POB developers to remove this stat from the tool as too many people get hung up on it when it does not really provide an accurate account of how tanky you are. Sure, it is fun to make the EHP number go up, but the people who know what they are talking about always say to focus on the max hit numbers well before the EHP numbers

2) I mentioned this before, but I want to mentioned it again. The mirror ring is not for the Ralakesh version. If you intend to spend a mirror on a single item, you have to make sure you can use every single stat on the item.

hello and welcome to the thread! Congrats on your (almost) first Mageblood! It is an incredible piece of gear in this build.

I have reviewed your build and will provide comments below:


* Since you are using the Intensify support gem, you need to change your caster mastery to "....+1 to maximum Intensity"

* You don't need a portal gem in the game any more. The game now provides a way to bind a key to your portal scrolls. Just look in the settings for it.

* In place of the Portal gem, add in Conductivity and link it to your Brand set up. Then remove Conductivity from your Shield and add in Summon Lightning Golem.

* Your wand does have plenty of room for an upgrade. Not only more mana, but you have added cold damage on the wand which does nothing for the build.

* Change your boot implicit from movement speed to action speed

* You have way too much dexterity. The dexterity stat on the ring is being wasted. Get a new ring with similar stats but that has chaos res instead of dexterity as a suffix. This will help you to cap your chaos res

* For Mageblood you have endless choices. I would recommend looking at the build guide in the first post that has the Mageblood section and read it through and see what you like.

In general you want to make sure you are maximizing Onslaught and Crit Chance, becoming Stun Immune, Ailment Immune (with Stormshroud) and Curse Immune and then picking up what ever else you like, be it movement speed or maybe resistances that you need to fix once you lose your rare belt etc. Make sure you play around in your POB so that you can see exactly what resistances need fixing when you move to Mageblood. Note that you can also fix your resistances and get ailment immunity for free if you swap Wrath to Purity of Elements. There are lots of ways to go. If you are not sure, post a new POB with your ideas of what you want to do and we can double check it for you.

Hi all,

I have decided to put my multi mirror build to rest. Best build I have ever played.

I have put all my gear up for sale, including discounting both the mirror ring and mirror wand. The ring has already sold.

I will hang around the thread and try and answer questions for players.

Your flasks have some issues. I think fixing them will make the build feel better


1) On the Amethyst flask, you want the shock roll to be 52% or greater to give you full ailment immunity

2) On the Silver flask, you want your curse roll to be 52% or greater to make you curse immune

3) On your diamond flask, you want your stun roll to be 52% or greater to make you stun immune

once you fix these items, make sure you are using Lunaris fully leveled up as your major Pantheon

=====

Your Watchers Eye is for Wrath but you are using Zealotry as your aura. Make sure your Aura of choice and your Watchers Eye match

Anyone care to take a look at my build? Got all the jewels now, bottled faith, +1 Kitavas, most other items are decent. Should I be going for the cluster jewel upgrade next? My main weakness right now is barely any chaos resistance, don't know if I should just farm till mageblood or upgrade stuff before that. And if you see any other cheap/easy to fix things that I'm missing let me know, thanks. Im feeling pretty strong but still get blown up in T17s/ T16 giant rogue exile farm strat a lot
