Hi there,

i just wanted to say that i really like this build and the satisfying explosions. Leveling is very comfortable and the transition to endgame is just perfect, at least for me.

At this point in time, im finished with the build. Have a look:

There are of course things to upgrade (for example a wand with higher tiers or an amulet with "+1 to physical skill gems" AND "+1 to dexterity skill gems") but they don't even exist on the market. So realistically, there is no upgrade for me at the moment without spending 100 ex.

I made some nice adaptations to your guide. You talked about physical damage being a problem for this build. What i did was to only buy gear with armour + energy shield on it. Energy shield does not help with the defence, but the armour in total gives us some physical damage reduction. I also use a chaos golem, ideally with empower level 4, so the golem gives you additional 5 % physical damage reduction. Together with my flasks, i get to 49% physical damage reduction, which is quite nice:

Another nice thing is the boot entchantment and my abyss jewel. Both give me chance to dodge spell hits in case it gets hairy, making this build even tankier.

Instead of taking life nodes, you can also go for the "increased physical damage" (about 30 %) nodes in the radius of our historic jewel. It is quite a good damage boost and there is also a 4% maximum life node on the way.

For me personally, cast speed is not so important. It is very nice to have since everything you do will be faster, but it does not add a lot of dps in my opinion. You have to let the blades explode before you can place new ones and after i use blade blast, i run to another spot for better survival anyway (and everything dies anyway with 1 wave of blades).

Now i only have 1 goal: Replace the belt with a headhunter. It barely fits in with all the resistances and attributes.

Other than that, great build and thank you for sharing it with us.

Hey Ive been having great success with this build. What would you say I should be aiming for in terms of upgrades next, assuming budget isn't too much of an issue? My thoughts are frenzy charge/explode chest, bottled faith, and tailwind boots maybe, but what else is going to give me the most bang for my buck?

Also, how does this build compare to the poison version? I've heard that the phys-crit version scales better but I'm not sure.

I like the build very much.

I only struggle at sirus, maven (but that is training) and uber atziri because they still 1-shot me with 6k life and all the mitigation.

Everything else melts.

Some Resists Rolls still need harvest crafting, next goals are a Exploding Chest with Maven mod + 1 active spell gems (shaper) + Spell crit (Shaper).

If I had money for headhunter, maybe that as well but it would kill my resistances.
