Now, i know my character isnt maxed yet, but seems funny when in some t13 maps i activate frozen beast, which happens to be yellow. Fact is i die in them 5 times and portals closes. Not even sure what happens but when im whirling, my "lifeleech" cant keep up with the dmg they do...

You have 4.4k life, not max number of endu chages, half of final builds life regen and uncapped cold and light resistances before endurance charges. You're not on a final passive skill tree either. Also dont use RF for now.

Lvl up to 84/85 with current tree and respec to this tree:

passive skill tree

This will provide you with a 5k+ life, more jewel sockets and max endu charges with better life regen.

Than change your belt for a rare one with +life and cold and light resistances. You dont need 5 Discharges/s yet.

Later on with at least 5.5k life and higher lvl try Uber Lab for final Ascendancy.

Than with lvl 90 or above work on final build with proper jewels, proper CDR belt and grab that Berserkering passives for proper attack speed to work with CDR belt and start using RF.

do you guys think I should switch my 19% watcher's eye (with purity of ice) with one that has puirty of fire and lightning. I heard that having purity of ice is not that good because of the chill effect you get when you take cold damage. I can get one but it will have 3% lower mitigation

This is first time Im hearing about any cold dmg/chill effect recieved while using Purity of Ice oO Where are you people getting those informations? Purity of Ice by improving your max cold resistance is actually lowering any chill/freeze duration on you. Dont change your Watchers Eye especially if u have double conversion one lol. They are golden, no matter what purity (ice/fire/light) as we have them all running on our build.

If meant that in combination with Watchers Eye that converts phys to cold you're recieving cold dmg from phys dmg and this can chill/freeze you than nope. Dmg will be to low vs your hp pool to do so. Also when cycloning Im using unfreeze/unchill quicksilver flask for faster mapping.

Are there any Shaper tips, guys?

Its just feels like I'am not doing enough damage. First phase goes well, but in the 2nd one I just can't damage him fast enough, before all the map is filled with those damaging vortexes from the balls.. So I can't stand anywhere without taking a ton of dmg.

I'am trying to use RF to boost my dmg, but I often need to turn it off, because its damages me too heavily.

I changed my cit a bit, I capped all my resists. (Different Belt). And now I'am using two Ruby flasks, and Wise oak. Instead of Topaz and Quicksilver.

For Shaper you need around 90k+ unflasked Shaper DPU in PoB. That said I did him even with 80k unflasked DPU. Use RF when you can and turn off with flask when you have too. Try to not focus only on him as hes less dangerous than it seems and you have enough time to react after he launches his beam/slam to recover your life back. Try focusing on those balls as well. Run into them so they spawn vortexes around edges of the battlefield. If u spawn to much vortexes in the center of the arena you're done.

Well, just died for the fifth time on Shaper..

Reached the 3rd phase for the first time, tho :D

Dunno, at first I didn't watch the video in the guide, so I tried to dodge slam AND balls Shapers fires, so I only hit him when he does the beam.

Obviously, it didn't work, because my flasks ran off, field got filled with vortexes, because I didn't do enough damage..

Now, I try to hit him when he fires the balls too. It goes better, but sometimes I just randomly die to them.. Then I miss when he slams, so occasionally I die from it too.. ANd those freaking vortexes get into the center every damn time!!

I guess I'am just a noob, its my first journey to even 12+ maps.. So I guess I'll just practice more.

P.S Hmm, even in the guide video Rico died three times, and he had 1k more hp, and as I understand, he also had 5 discharges per second on that build?

Maybe that could help.. Just get more hp, 5 discharges, and it will be a lot easier..

What about The Flow Untethered belt, is that good for this build?

The Flow Untethered belt was great in harbinger, now you can craft shaped belt to have CDR, so TFU is not such big deal. CDR belt with good stats is better.


BTW, today I was lucky trading and got uncorrupted voll's for 75c and after 1 divine and 5 blessed it is nice

I really dont understand how some people are having trouble with shaper on this build. I had literally never killed or attempted the shaper when I first started playing this build and I watched 3 minutes of 1 youtube video which basically said this;

- kite the sticky globes to the outside of the area so the holes in the floor dont spawn in the middle
- dont stand in the giant kamya kamya wave
- run to zana when she makes a red bubble

I went in and had 1 death and that was b/c I was lazy and took too long to move out of a beam. This was also well before I had my god gear, I didnt have the double physical reduction watchers eye and was just using normal rolled gear I had collected during the abyss league and I had 0 CDRS and 4.1 to 4.3 cyclone aps.

I am not trying to be mean but if you are dying in maps, or on shaper, or anything tbh outside of uber atziri it is not the build that is the problem it is you. All content outside of uber can be easily facetanked, not beaten, straightup facetanked ignoring 99% of the mechanics if you just follow the guide.

Lol I like how in the guide displaying all of the random player's quotes testifying to this build's greatness, a quarter of them are from Jcoh only. lmao. Hey jcoh, do you use another acc to message in the forums? was wondering if I can look at some of your gear/passive tree. you seem to be the second voice of authority outside of the build maker himself. Wanted to see how you build your character n such.

I dont play the build anymore but not b/c it wasnt amazing its b/c its all I ended up playing for 6 months. Everytime I tried another build it felt like garbage in comparison and I just ended up leveling it again.

In total I leveled this build on 2 juggernauts, a witch and a scion. I delete my characters though, only keep 2 or 3 active.

The only main differences in what I did and what Rico did were;

I didnt use RF, in place of that I ran vengeance + curse on hit + enfeeble + elemental weakness.
I ran more jewels including a double physical reduction watchers eye (fire and light.).
I ran a bit more health, carried 6.1k and I used the 2% life/mana regeneration enchant on my boots instead of the damage pen.

I also cleared my entire atlas, shaper and red elder well before I ever had 5 discharges a second so for the newer people here dont think thats what holding you back if your having trouble.

If you are having issues add more life, add more life regen. Your dps facedown is 0, if you need something that kills the Minotaur in 4 seconds your already in the wrong place. This build is for people who like to go 3 weeks between deaths and keep their hard earned $.

Im trying out 1 of the new poet's pen builds atm that build around the loreweave. Its a MoM, no mana reserved VD, Unearth, Bodyswap build. Its pretty fun and durable which is a must for me.



Some of the pieces so you can get an idea of the synergies, its my first time on Hierophant and Poet's pens so its intresting.
