Level 84, can ya give me some recommendations ...I know I need helm enchant , still need the last of the 6 assendancies so I can do Uber and get the good enchant. In process of looking for upgrades to Amulet and ring. i actually have a better ring and Amulet but they lack the dex and strength which both always seem to be a problem for me.

My skill tree I am following the guide. Recommendations there also?

Got me the updates as previously mentioned - running a +1 Tab, +3 empower and a (poorly rolled) BoTC. Also added in a (poorly rolled) Bisco's for good measure.

I've never taken a build beyond old T11 shaped strand before - think I'm going to do the endgame with this (even if there are more effecient builds, I enjoy this one). Gear is below.

Will swap out the shield for a Rathpith when I can be bothered. Not having much luck with map drops so still in whites at lvl 80. My shield has slightly better block (I think) but the ressies are useless to me as I'm capped elsewhere. The Rathpith has loads more damage, but the shield has that sweet background >_>

Absolutely 0 optimisation so far, but I'm enjoying the build!

Any ideas what I should be going for next? I find gearing to be a bit of a pain at this point because as soon as you take 1 item off, you break your build....

Really just can't do t14 vaults with sextants :( hard to survive lol. I suck at the game haha

Since I'm late to the party this round I just checked your gear and it doesn't look like you should have any problems running that, perhaps you changed something since you posted this. Would you mind confirming that things are fine now or do you still need help?

Thanks bro, I just changed it up to what "RussianFanBoy" has as I wanted to incorporate magic find :) can you recommend an MF setup lol. ?

Hi Guys,

As 95 level with this build I have to tell ya, that it's just awesome. Generally, it's breezing through all the content till T16 without any problem and generally deathless. Generally means I died twice at level 93, and never at level 94 even though i was doing only t12+ maps. What's more fun, I was doing this by playing recklessly , that is running into few packs of mobs and casting ED from inside and all in ... Magic Find gear:)

Yeah, this build is really tanky. I'm now at 6,8k hp + 0,9 ES + 0,6k unresered mana (due to dual curse temporal chains and enffeble). Combine this with meaningful evasion and armor, and only few bosses pose any threat when you're not carefull.

My biggest advice, that I can share and really changed the build, is getting the highest level of Essence Drain. Between level 93 and 95 i switched from ED level 20 to ED level 28 (staff +3 + Empower lvl 4 + corrupted ED level 21).

This boosted my damage by ...2,5x times! Yeah, when you kill bosses really fast, than it's hard to die:) Especially when the boss is busy with minions from Vaal Skeletons.

And 1 more remark here: after strenghtening ED so much, I totally resigned from Allelopathy (only for Shaper use). The damage from ED is so high, you don't need to use Blight. By doing this you don't have to stay close to boss = greatly reduced chance to be killed :) As a result, I often kill bosses from outside of screen while my skeletons keep it busy, so there's no way you can die:)

Here's my "boss mode" gear if you're interested. Of course for generall mapping + 80% of bosses I use magic find jewelry (Bisco's + Ventor's Gamble).

The gear might look expensive, but i got it only from mapping. Once you open you shop and offer for sales some maps/drops, You quickly get to earning 1 ex for 1-2 hour of playing.

Good luck to all!

Looking truly solid :D Cheers for sharing!

Though Blight with Spreading Rot would increase the chaos dmg taken by the bosses which is insanely effective as it provides 25%*2 (50%) increased damage taken which is based of the final damage you're doing by applying Blight with 2x Spreading Rot Jewels!
