Hi everybody.
I'm having a blast with build so far, but I'm looking for improvements.
My Gear (5,8k hp/770 unreserved mana):
Spoiler
For improvements I have in mind getting Shapres Mark + Curse ring and better weapons (I was playing with Brightbeak and shield till recently so these are just 2 i managed to craft real quick). I just dont have currency atm. Other than that i think my gear is pretty solid, althought I had only 680k dps when I used PoB, which is really low compared to others (but i have never used PoB befor, so I hope I just fcked up something). If anyone has an idea, what else could I improve, I'm open to anything.
Also I want to ask how much resists do you guys have? It seems to me, that i have way more then others posting their builds here (I have 143/150/135 f/c/l).
Next thing is, how do you guys manage to kill Atziri? She just oneshots me when she splits and keep oneshoting me every time I try to get back to fight. I managed to kill her once, but all my next attempts were total failure.
Last thing, its ok to drop blind on herald of thunder if I want to go with 3 heralds in my gloves?
So if anyone can give me some advice I would love it. :)
You're not looking at the right set of weapons in PoB, you have 697k with your blue Haku weapons, but you have 1.7mill with your other weapon set.
Mark of shaper + warlord will push you over 2mill, then you can upgrade weapons/amulet for more.
I have 76% all resist with my DPS weapons, although that's not really recommended (usually 108%+ to still have 75% against Elemental Weakness). But I'm using Wise Oak, so that triple 76% resist gives me a pretty nice dps boost and a little tankiness. Once you get your Mark of shaper/Warlord ring, you'll lose a lot of resist from those two rings you have, so that should become similar to what others have.
Atziri has a reflect mechanic. Never attack the atziri that has the mirror when she splits. Also the normal phase have some elemental reflect too, but that's negligible if you manage it properly. Here's a (long) gif of atziri kill https://gfycat.com/OpenTastyAidi
Once you get your Warlord Mark ring, you can drop Blind/warlord mark/curse on hit in your gloves and just put all 3 heralds + enlighten for a bigger mana pool for MoM.

Well, i read the guide like 100 times, and I cant say when a weapon is better than divinarius. I see a lot of scepters from people posting here, and i dont know why they are better. We look for critical to spells as main mod, then spell and ele dmg. Normally divinarius has a lot of critical, and a good amount of spell damage. The problem is why people are losing critical for spells and replace with spell/ele dmg when critical for spells is first priority. If anyone can explain a little to me, i would appreciate it.
Extra dmg rolls on those will beat any rare or unique easy.

Thank you very much. I thought I was doing something wrong in PoB. So now, ill just focus on both rings and leave the rest for later.
Hello!
I'd like to ask whether a 6L is mandatory on the body or a 5L will still allow to play comfortably? The price difference is huge between these two.
I'm having quite a bit of trouble in merciless labyrinth

your main problem is low damage which results in unnecessarily prolonged fight.
you need a 4 link item for blade vortex and correct supports for it - follow the guide.
your wand is terrible and you need to dual wield. you also need a diamond flask.
Damage is a double edged sword, when it comes at expense of survivability. You need to stay alive for the duration of damage, and i'd never be ok with that kind of damage being able to 1-shot me.
i went with even stronger shield, levelled up a little more for skills and took MoM. Now i was able to facetank the boss, use armour flasks and basically nuke him in just a couple of seconds each time. I also added culling strike to Herald of Ice which possibly helped on the last and hardest 10%. So it's done now, Kitava here i come...

Culling on herald of ice doesnt actually cull the boss.
love ur build by the way..... so i have got a boot which has lvl 15 increased duration so can i replace the gem with any other ones...
do u have any suggestions... im new to the game
I haven't really messed with elementalist before. Do we actually shock/chill shaper/elder (and their uber variants)? Don't have everything setup yet to test it myself, so perhaps someone else can enlighten me on this one.
