Small build update:

- Reworked leveling section (now we use Bladefall + Bladeblast spellslinger and Ethereal Knives before that)

This should make leveling *a lot* smoother compared to pure Bladefall spellslinger that we used before.

Great stuff. For softcore league start, should we look for a double wand setup? What should would give us the biggest damage boost on items? added flat phys or perhaps %inc. phys?

Thanks! I was currently trying leveling this build and it feels like I am lacking some damage (act 7).

Thanks!

I would probs still go for wand/shield even on softcore mostly because of how spellslinger works (e.g it takes half of each weapon flat, so double wands can actually decrease the dps if one of the wands is bad, and even if both were the same I would rather just have some extra life + resists on shield).

For lacking of damage, def try migrating to the bladeblast + bladefall spell cascade setup, blade blast shoudl carry the DPS easily (also that setup is a lot less mana hungry as the trigger is not even linked to anything, and you can even use frenzy + gmp if you want to for even more damage instead of PS, i just like PS for power charges + cull and free gmp).

And for items, well, Spellslinger only takes local flat from weapon, so biggest damage boost is just big weapon (i see that you have twyzel what is one of the best leveling wands). For damage on gear, well you are looking for standard stuff, like increased chaos damage, inc phys damage, increased attack speed (for faster slinger procs), poison damage, poison duration, chaos multi.

Hello,
I use your build today, about the defense i think it is fine but about my damage is too small, follow your gears but my damage reach only nearly 5,2 mil and the clearing maps speed is very slow.
I put my POB so hope you can take a look a give me some advices.
Thank you

Well looking at your pob its almost 9M, what is solid (10M with frenzies). Did you checked end-game optimization section? When you have currency, you should def move away from Kintsugi and grab explody chest, that will improve your clear speed by *a lot*, same with Mistwall, especially in harder content (e.g delirious maps) where you are getting hit a lot either way so its losing its effectiveness.

I made some upgraded items right now.
Here my POB now: https://pastebin.com/HTZWi9br
The clear speed is improved but i still easily get hit to death when i face Sirius fight, I cannot kill him especially his last phase i just died when got 1 hit from him.
There are anyways to improve the tanky or i have only one choice is dodge his attacks?
Thank you

Very much enjoying this build. Mapping is pretty easy but having issues with Bossing. My PS damage is over 7MM, which I would think is enough, but having some issues. Would you mind taking a look at my build and offering any insight on areas of improvement? Thanks so much.

Hello. I am currently using this build as my fun end of league build and having a blast so far. I am just curious on a thing that's been happening quite frequently now. I am always dying by suicide. I do not understand this as I have a watcher's eye with Unaffected by poison to counter the Golden Rule effect. Any idea what I'm missing? Would appreciate responses as this has become quite annoying.
