where are you getting the fortify from ? and also i am lvling the last few lvls as hybrid but damn my hp spikes sometimes like mad and i have no idea why could you have a look at my hybrid build and see what is wrong ? ive been really close to ripping in a t2 map , yes thats right t2 and i cant figure out why. i got the atziri already just need the last 7 lvls in glacier but my hp flies sometimes and it feels like i aint regening any es or hp and have to spam pots

Check the gem setup in my boots. Also theres an end-game corruption for Mjolner "x% chance to fortify on melee hit" but to be honest I didnt need it yet and im 60% to lvl 94 without a single death. And no Im not doing blue T11s ;)

Ripping during lvling process is normal. I was dying like a little bitch. After you switch to CI with all the gear items in place everything will change. This is one of those builds that are bad at lvling but after that they are excelent. You have to trust me on this :) For example yesterday I was amazed myself when I did Zana's T16 Elder Bazaar with ele weakness, -max, enfeeble and Beyond and spawned Abaxoth on it. Killed him without an issue.

dying aint really a option in hardcore :P but guess i have to take it slow till 75

If u have all the gear items you might try to switch to CI earlier. I will check you char when in home after work to see when you can do it to be safe.

i got all the items ready besides the belt , chest piece is 75 so goto wait , also why the fire dmg on the ring ? dont we trigger ele equilibrium anyways?

also can we fit in a inspired learning somewhere? or would it cost to much

Ah forgot chest is lvl 75 req. I think that Inspired Learning can be used in place of Intuitive Leap on the right side of the passive tree but I dont have acces to PoB right now to verify that 4 notable will be in range. More than that you need +1 frenzy corruption or 3 passive points in that situation to reach minimum of 5 total frenzy charges.

Nah, wave adds nothing, 6l cyclone allready cost like 3 mana to use. Harness the Void on the other hand ads nice dps boost. Yes we are immune to corrupted blood, bleeding (lab traps, Rigwald wolf form), poison and chaos dmg. Stun immunity comes from a) Escape Artist b) Cyclone. You're stun immune while cycloning. You're stun immune while you have ghost shrouds. You have at least one Ghost Shroud when you was not hit recently.

Make sure you take with you one unfreeze flask and one flask that removes burning. Unfreeze is must have while burning is sometimes needed.

Also Jade flask with increased evasion is very important whenever you feel theres gonna be trouble.

As a HC player take care with strongboxes that can freeze you when opened (have your unfreeze flask ready) and also care about map mods that lowers your resistances while adding extra cold or fire dmg to mobs at the same time.

Corrupting shield to 30% is actually good idea, perhaps I will do it myself as well.

So I managed to reroll and corrupt my shield for a nice ES boost:



Currently sitting at 8.2k ES on lvl 94 which is nice. I also reached 780k Shaper DPS (did a T16 Mino dps check few hours ago, kill time = 16 sec). So as I suspected build's dps roof is at ~800k. This is without touching any RF/Vaal RF so it can go just over 1 mil for a short time with Vaal RF up.

Yesterday I also managed to kill Betrayal final boss Catarina (last time I did her was in Betrayal league) but on a T16 map (monster lvl 83) and I must say this is the hardest Boss for this build. I killed her but ripped twice doing so.



I also tried Domain of Timeless conflict with the build and well despite I wasnt in danger for even a moment I manage to clear only 2 full waves. They do have lots of hp.

For now farming Shaper on daily basis doing it deathless all the time. Im trying to get a) Celestial hideout b) Sword drop. So far no luck.

However Im starting to be bored with this league.

Oh man another Rico mjolner build

I've already played 3 different versions (original/jugg cyclone/inquis cyclone) so I'm not sure if I want to do another one but his builds are just godly, highly recommended. If I get bored with everything I've already got goin I might just give it another go =)

As for anyone struggling with leveling up I'd suggest going the bow route. YouTube for raizqt bow leveling guide for lightning arrow or cutedog_ for rain of arrows. Super fast, safe, and effective

another recommendation for folks struggling with survivability while gearing up (hybrid life build). If your shopping for a watcher's eye,

pick up the mod "# Energy Shield Gained for each enemy hit while affected by Discipline" instead of "#% increased Energy Shield Recovery Rate while affected by Discipline". ESGoH hit is just as effective end game (perhaps more?) as the other, and it also helps out a ton while leveling up to switch over.

You can also throw in a LGoH gem into your Cyclone setup, so you'll have life and energy gain on hit, and it makes a huge difference.

And props to you Rico. Another awesome guide. Your Jugg build was my main for many leagues, and now I'm replacing it with this one. Appreciate all the work you and the others put into this build man!
