While getting 7k+ hp at lvl 81 may be stretching it a bit, you should easily be making in the higher 6k range. Other than that I agree with Tomay's post above.

I'm currently at 8.2k hp at lvl 94, and I just don't die to general mobs in maps like ever. Poorjoy, I can clear just by walking through it. Haven't had any issues up to T16 with mobs. Bosses can still oneshot you e.g. T14 Maze map boss slam, or kill you due to reflect T14 promendade map boss thorns. You just can't tank anything in the game....we're not a 20k+ CI build.

tldr: get life, right flask, and don't go mindlessly facetank all bosses.

/edit: doesn't help that ur character tab is private, so we can't help you out there.

Hey Fritso; thanks for the feedback! I turned off privacy; the character is FlarpyMcAutoSplats. I think the issue is another 500-1000 life wouldn't have saved me from recent deaths that happened in a split second (such as excessive blood stacks or multiple exploding purples where you can't see 'em -- don't get me wrong, I run through them anticipating all purples are going to do that - but the last time I was in a breach and they came in from the edge and I couldn't visually see a thing LOL).

Bosses never kill me; it's always trash/blue/purple combinations (blood/volatile/delayed explosions one can't see) - I admit, I was running reflect maps as well when I shouldn't have (but I was able to do most of them! LOL).

I do really like the character and play style; perhaps I'm underrating what 500-1000 more life would give me. I could pick up a 6L chestpiece with life on it as well (as a temporary until I get the BoTB 6L). Then again a 5L BoTB is just 26-30c. I really do like the boots though; don't want to lose those :)

IMO the key issue with this build is the lag/latency. I've crashed my server instance multiple times (usually due to a Zerg breach). Wish there was a way to better handle this; if I do lower level maps, I can kill fast enough to not cause the 100+ mobs on the screen to kill the instance -- but higher maps (~T8+) I just can't kill a zerg breach fast enough and the instance almost always crashes -- even though I can survive it.

Finally hit 68 following this guide, but i'm confused on how/where am I suppose to get the required dexterity to equip some of the gear and gems?

Tried Minotour, and Phoenix AFK today.

Phoenix was a non issue with 9.7k life, purity of fire, Rise of the Phoenix, Enfeeble, AA.

Minotaur was being an ass. 10.5k life, enfeeble, AA, Blind. His digging attack oneshot me everytime. As soon as he stopped that, the AFK was easy. But he first oneshot me 4 times with that darn digging attack. Also, the 100% inc aoe mod on the map didn't help in avoiding that :-)

Anyone tried AFK for Hydra, and Chimera? Any tips/strategy to that?

Level 89. The build is awesome. Only things that kill me are: 1) Not paying attention to exploding groups; 2) Volatiles that sneak up, and 3) Chaos Damage.

Any way to negate Chaos damage with this build other than switching to CI/Shavs?

Hi guys,

Have been lucky enough to drop a pair of Abberath's Hooves, I was looking for a build that uses it, and here I am :)


if I understand correctly, the build first version was 'cheap' then the abberath's version was added and is more expensive ?

Currently have about 4ex in stash, already have abberath's hooves.
will it be ok to get all needed other stuff ?

I've been checking some stuff and it looks like that the expensive stuff is : abberath / 6L belly / essence ?

Don't have a 6L belly ftm, but until I can afford it I can use a 6L with Deafening Essence of Greed ?

I never use essence before (yeah sorry :) ), how does it work ? Does it just add a prefix/ suffix if available, or random all other stats too ?

Thanks for your answers !
