Out of curiosity, what would you change if you had ingenuity? The other chase items I fully understand but it seems like you're locked into Snakepit.

I managed to swap to morior maligro with as cheap as possible budget and I gained 30% damage ^^

Good job finding all that.

And it is without having 5 slot :).

I still have low ES since my EB is 21% but who cares 3K ES with overcharge and 3.5k mana is fun to play :)

Thanks for all your hard work, Mr monik!

I'm continuing the struggle (not really a struggle though, having fun). Just one question on your latest post.

"My biggest mistakes were getting 2% mana on kill instead of 1%,"

Is it better to have 1% mana on kill rather than 2%? :O

Kr,

Meanwhile, done with a low-budget build.

Compilation (from maps to Pinnacles): https://youtu.be/ISKDUsl7_m8

While I was editing, I found quite a few things could get done for a lot cheaper, and in a better way.

I ended up with 450ex build on Xesht 4/8, but it's possible to make it within 1-1.5d (170-250ex lol) if being more cost-efficient.

My biggest mistakes were getting 2% mana on kill instead of 1%, and inefficient 4-links - those could save me like 180-200ex, also the wand I got for 70ex, but could save about 30-40ex here too.

Not running Time Freeze for Trials of Chaos/Trialmaster was another biggie. Wasted about 5 more minutes than I should.

Also, I swapped to Frostbolt at lvl 78, but I could make it at 75.

Build: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/6x7q0cm3

PoB(endgame only): https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/w6lcc0yu

- Maxroll fully updated.

- I've added low-budget stuff there instead of making a new page. Removed my previous gear (non-Maligaro), as it was just an elaboration on low-budget items.

- Added gearing/stat priority in Notes.

- Added low-budget skill gems in order to 4-link from top to down.

- Added lvl 75 (MoM-EB-CI Archmage switch) and 85 (Xesht 4/8 video) passive trees.

- Nothing much changes after that point. Getting better items with more mana/ES, a stronger wand, and better jewels for the next 10-20d.

- After that, it's Maligaro's Virtuosity switch. It's harder to fit, so way more expensive. Or not. I added non-Maligaro's lvl 95 passive tree too.

- I'm not gonna work on PoB other than that. Only endgame lvl 95 trees and different gear. Both maxroll pages have it all.

~~~~~~~~~

This is it, exiles. I covered everything I could, from the start to all content done.

I've done my best to make this build, with all the help and brainstorming we've done here.

Unfortunately, those chase items are out of my reach this time:
Dream Fragments, Ingenuity, +3 Comet, Melting Maelstrom, whatever else.

Probably next time.

I'm taking a break from the game.

Thank y'all. Have fun.

No, it's min-maxing nit-picking.

Amazing build! 1-2d (lucky loot) and I can do t14-15, but struggle a bit with critical chance. Can I ask you to give some kind of step-by-step way to raise the critical chance? With some kind of prio/price gradation?

What build i can follow to make same this video?

Maxroll updated. Check low-budget stuff there. Notes/gear/passive tree have it all.

Just in case, if you are super tight on currency - grab the cheapest wand with >70% crit chance, +3 to all cold (+2 can do), and some cast speed (if you can afford it). Fill your jewel slots with 1% mana on kill and >10% crit chance jewels. Anoint Siphon if you get 1% jewels, or Heartstopping if you can afford 2x2% jewels on top to others.
Check passive tree, you might want critical strike nodes instead of smth.

60% comet (with 20% quality) is our efficient crit chance cap. No need to bother going over than that. Even 61% means you can refund 10% small passive.
48-49% frostbolt is fine. Frost Wall? Whatever.

Chobi0ne's build has it.
