The build is really strong and with good gear i dont die in maps heist or mine, so i could reach lvl 100. The league was not so fun for me, as i dont like to stop do things. Also for me the loot was not worth the invest. So i did it only for the challenge. The boss experience with selfcast, after learning again how selfcast work was incredible good. First time i had the feeling i am not only really strong and kill boss with endurance and dont die. This time i had the feeling to anihilate the bosses. That was really good. The donwsize for me was the missing from profane bloom. If i got a shrine it was soooo much better with profane bloom. but seems we cant have all. So thanks again to kelvin and all people who help this build survive and find all leagues ways to get it work. Its a really long way since closed beta for me, and since more then 10 leagues i play this build with fun and changing experience. after the simulacrium league with unlimited split jewels i thougt i couldnt be better. For me this league WAS better in case of bossing. Not so good in case of map clearing. let us see what next league brings. Hope it will stay good. with this guide/build I have done more content and learned more stuff than ever before. so many thx!	Posted by Hungriger_Hu#3089 on May 5, 2022, 7:54:14 AM Quote this Post
Ugh. I had to skip the archnemesis league, and now it's part of core game play. Does anyone have a quick cheat sheet regarding the best use of archnemesis for a WI build? Looks like all builds left alone, and the monsters were buffed. Last edited by Graiaule#7461 on May 5, 2022, 7:23:41 PM	Posted by Graiaule#7461 on May 5, 2022, 7:14:05 PM Quote this Post

It is just that Archnemesis mods will replace old mods on rare and magic monsters. So all you need to do is learn what what mod means.	Posted by Cjin#1011 on May 6, 2022, 6:00:28 AM Quote this Post

Any feedback how is starting with this build on day 1 of a fresh League if the staff is not available? Really want to play this, but I'm afraid of screwing myself with the build and struggling with acts. Also won't ES gear pretty expensive at the start of the League compared to the Life gear?

Staff is 1c almost from the start of the league. All gear is cheap at the start. Im more concerned about with which skills to level, because this league I was leveling with skills from the guide and it was a pain. edit: Worth to mention you can go with selffound gear to red maps. Thx to high block you will not be dying. Last edited by Koscigrob#5628 on May 7, 2022, 9:25:04 AM	Posted by Koscigrob#5628 on May 7, 2022, 9:23:00 AM Quote this Post

Does anyone have any experience in playing this build with controller/intends to this league?	Posted by ultra_super_hyper#0722 on May 7, 2022, 11:06:11 AM Quote this Post

This upcoming league I was going to try Frost Bomb for trash and I suppose FP again if needed: ------------------ (frost bomb, freezing pulse) > arcane surge > added lightning > conc eff > elem focus (in order of priority, highest to lower) Elem overload 40% more damage so take this early, as well as Ash, Frost, and Storm. craft added cold/lightning/% incr spell damage as usual ------------------- was the highest damage combo I was able to come up with. Take firestorm level 28 and replace freezing pulse. Go to WI at level 39. I didn't take a look at physical attacks though. Yeah, I can't figure out how to do PoB to estimate Steel/Brand dps, so it'll just have to be in-game.
