Hello. Yes, I also switched my gems. Just got my second Tidebreaker couple of days ago.

This is my first melee build in a long time, but it's very satisfying to slam and delete the entire screen. Resists are a bit of a struggle but once endurance charges are up, it's not a problem. I'm now on the search for clusters, but the specific combos either don't exist or cost a ton. Are they very difficult to roll by themselves on the clusters?

I am still very much getting used to pressing warcries and slamming, but what is the correct sequence of actions to land the biggest hit to chunk a boss? I am pretty sure I am just setting it up wrong.

Also, for the Sirus gloves and the elemental weakness on hit, how do you determine the enemy fire resistance in POB? (if it's 40% increased effect vs 48% increased effect, what is that in terms of the amount of how much it's reducing the resist by)

Hey, I am glad you are enjoying the build.
The only expensive ones are Overlord and Master of Fire and they are expensive for a reason. Both of them are really strong and both of them have very low weight when crafting (low chances to roll).

Check the gameplay video at the top of guide on how I do it.

In PoB on the right side in Configuration section there is a selection of "Is enemy a boss?". Select Sirus there.

Thanks! It will take some time and practice it seems to get it down, still not used to keeping tracking of exerted attack stacks sometimes.

Edit: Think I have the warcry thing down, I can kill most map bosses and metamorphs in just a few seconds. I also just managed to kill Sirus 8 with my character deathless for the first time and got an awakened spell echo, awakener's orb, a thread of hope AND a unique watchstone all in one drop. Quite possibly the most rewarding and easiest kill ever. I massively regret wasting 50+ ex on my other characters when I could have spent it here and perfected the cluster setup and gotten better rolled uniques.

Thank you for your feedback, Obake! Congrats on your first Sirus deathless kill!
Yes, looking at the build right now I would say that I have spent around 25ex with almost perfected non-cluster-jewel version. I am considering to push in Aspect of the spider somehow.

hello, I'm doing it according to your assembly, I'm already 92lvl, I'm dying on the minotaur, although everything is the same as your assembly! what could be the problem ? and is it possible to video from the minotaur and other defenders

Looks like this build is affraid of oneshits. Is there a way to make it mirigate damage, not just iut regen it? Mb notable to use armor for ele mitigation?
Thx.

Hello. Yes, Minotaur is an awkward boss for this build since being close is very dangerous. You must learn to dodge the underground attack he does. Recently did an end-game stream. Two fights below.

Hello. Physical damage mitigation is covered with Endurance charges and elemental damage mitigation is very hard to obtain. We do use Fortify with some +max ele resistances but I have not found a way to get more without sacrificing a lot.

"Best of Tier 4" 3.12 video is up! I am using slightly different options from the build for the video. I will have to do some PoB worth to see if this was actually the best choice but there should not be a huge difference. The PoB for Tier 4 version has also been updated.
This is my first video montage with music, haha. Enjoy!

HAVE YOU TASED OTHER QUALITY STONES?

HAVE YOU TASED OTHER QUALITY STONES?

Hey, have not tested. That will be the last thing I do since it's league specific probably. I did go through the list and made note of what I think might be good.

Probably good:
- Anger: increased Movement Speed
- Earthshatter: chance to create an additional Fissure
- Seismic Cry: 40% increased Warcry Speed <-> Exerted Attacks deal 10% increased Damage
- Intimidating Cry: 40% increased Warcry Speed <-> Exerted Attacks deal 10% increased Damage
- Cast when Damage Taken Support: Supported Skills have 20% increased Skill Effect Duration
- Molten Shell: Buff can take additional Damage equal to 5% of your Armour
- Combustion Support: Supported Skills deal 20% increased Fire Damage + Ignites from Supported Skills deal Damage 10% slower



Maybe:
- Fist of War Support: reduced Attack Speed / increased Damage
- Pulverise Support: less Attack Speed / more Melee Area Damage
- Infernal Cry: 40% increased Warcry Speed <-> Exerted Attacks deal 10% increased Damage
