Only 6k ES at lvl 84 isnt right, I presume. I am missing pure talent and have 1 or 2 jewels slots free, but still, why is the character so bad? I dont even feel like buying the missing jewels right now because by themselves they can't fix this.

You have some jewels that aren't doing much at all. Conqueror's Efficiency should be replaced, as well as your crimson jewel that only has int/resists. Get abyss jewels with flat ES.

You also have 1 ring with 0 flat ES on it, and 1 ring with 14 flat es. You should be looking for 40+ per ring, and ideally 40+ int as well.

Other than that, your shield ES is quite low. I'd aim for a shield with at least 200+, ideally 250+. For top end gear you're looking for 300+.

Flat ES really works wonders because you get so much percentage ES from the passive tree / Shaper's Touch.

Low ES Helm, Shield, and Boots.

No Int/ES on rings.

No %Inc Int corrupt on belt.

Only level 84. Probably missing lot of jewel sockets.

Discipline only level 15. Not socketed in gloves with +1 Gem level.

Looking for any advice on where to go from here. I think the most obvious is to work on shield (shoot for 300+es) / boots (craft rare sorc with 150+ es) / amulet (try to alt spam damage per intel / increased attributes).

Other than that, I know some of my jewels are weak on raw ES and a Clarity Watcher's is my most obvious big ticket upgrade before getting corruptions.

Currently sitting at 7.6k ES and ~140k per ball (AC) or about 210k per ball with Conc when flasked.

Edit: Actually just got this shield

Should I block mana regen and try to slam Int with Leo? Already have Hillock in fortification to up the base quality.

Helm is a big weak spot. Consider playing BF or without the enchant until you can get a better helm with MS enchant.

Go for glove and belt corruptions. Gloves might be harder to get the corrupt yourself but still cheap compared to buying a pair with +1 Gems.

How do you leech mana though? I've had to put a point into mind drinker. Now I'm losing out on other things.

Personally I rely on mana regen.

I take Deep Thoughts and connect to Witch start for the Pure Talent jewel bonus. I also have a mana regen mod on one of my rings.

If you have a Clarity Watcher's Eye taking Deep Thoughts is a must imo. 28% Max Mana, Mana regen, and 20 intelligence for two points is insane.

FWIW taking Mind Drinker isn't the end of the world and if you have insane attack speed it can be more reliable than mana regen.

E: Have you completed all your passive skill quests? You're level 95 but when I view your profile it says you have 9 points left to gain. You've either skipped a bunch of passive skill quests or skipped some passive skill quests and didn't take the +2 Passive Skill point bandit reward.

E2: You're also using a Dying Sun flask which doesn't do much for Blade Flurry. The AoE increase is negligible at best.

Thoughts on a shaper es shield with %es gained when blocking?

Seems good on paper but with no block on the tree I don't think it would be reliable with ~25% block chance.

Leech, regen, and Vaal Discipline should cover all your bases but if you're inclined to get that mod, fuck it, go for it.

E: PSA for anyone having trouble getting +1 Gem Level on gloves or if your helmet needs improving consider this:



ES on this helm can reach ~300+ and has +1 Gems built in.

Some dead mods for us but if you don't need res on your helm it's a good substitute.

Updated blade flurry pob again, forgot to switch dying sun for atziri's

This build is stupidly tanky, im surviving stuff i have no business surviving, like t16 maps with extra damage vuln vs 4 syndicates, just facetanks it all!

This is my current setup at level 93:


The plan right now is to replace one of the jewels with the mana as es watchers eye, after that enlighten 4 and less mana reserved corruption on the unique jewels so that I can replace the helmet with another enchant.
Once the helm is replaced I will change the rings to something better as I currently have more resists than I need, but ill wait with the rings until after the helmet in case the helmet upgrade has resists.
(all my rares are selfmade apart from the jewels.
I should then get the right corruptions on belt and howa but those are rather pricy so i think i might try to corrupt them myself.

On the skill tree I used 1 skill point to connect to witch start to get the mana regen from pure talent. with that I have no mana issues what so ever and dont have to rely on leech enchant on boots, which isnt always up on bosses for example.

Oh and I will slot in inc duration for immortal call, but that can wait until i replace my helmet. will replace vaal double strike with enhance once im bothered, dont really need more speed right now and vaal ds is ok for map bosses or syndicates. also they are fun to use. Once the resists are taken care of i will replace the quicksilver flask with a wise oak.

Apart from all that, am i missing something obvious? (gem levels I know)


EDIT: Oh and a tip for people posting about +1 shapers touch gloves with 4 linked blue sockets being expensive! Just buy a +1 without any special links and then use the crafting bench to link it, costs like 5 fus and 5 vaal and then color it with the bench using 1 blue socket, 4 chrome and 4 vaal per try, might take like 20 tries or something to get 4b but then it is still cheaper. At least when I got mine.


EDIT 2: made some slight modifications, got my watchers eye, enlighten 4 and a new helmet:


right now im sitting it 10009 ES and almost exactly 1m shaper dps with conc effect
