[3.21] Aegis Incinerate Elementalist - Tank with over 10mil Shaper DPS!

Yeah that's what I did, I have 2 with Unwavering and Vital, even though I get no regen with my Vaal Pact skin of lords notable. Wanted to get stun immunity going.
Ugh it's SO frustrating when something just drains my life/ES to nothing in delve. My flasks remove bleed, burn, poison and I have 63% chaos resist... I have no idea what killed me, dammit GGG give us a combat log.

Happy news is that I found this amulet on sale for 25C, then spent another 15C to put inexorable on it. +1 to fire skills! Inexorable is the hobo choice, endurance charges come up fast while mapping.

I have no idea what is killing you slowly in Delve. If you find out please let us know.

That is a really nice necklace! Congrats!!

By the way, you should double check but I think that necklace covers your dexterity needs and you might be able to remove the Agility node (+30 to dex) on the tree and move it into the thread of hope wheel.
Omg thank you for remind me of that dex node, one point back!

I just saw a video of LilyDS dying in delve, and comments seem to suggest it's corrupted blood stack, but my first life flask has bleed/corrupted blood removal, so I'm not sure what it is...
I made it to level 93 with some small improvements over all.

*I got my chaos res up to a healthy 71%

*Added in two starter medium clusters (Vital Focus and Unwavering Focus) so that I am stun immune while casting

*With the stun immunity I finally switched from Brine King over to Arakali. I upgraded two of the powers in Arakali. The last one (40% chaos resistance against DOT) is not that important once we are close to chaos res capped but I will get it once I find that last map needed for it.

Floor degens. Burning ground or cold degen on the floor. Flasks and resists won't help you, you just have to be aware and move quickly.
Cold degen is worse because its impossible to see on the ground and there's no pantheon to help.
Thnks for the fast answers, I've made the corrections. I like the tankiness of the build but I feel like my damage is lacking vs some mobs. should I remove so passive points to put the second medium cluster or is there another big upgrade of damage?

This makes sense. I have noticed that my health quickly drains when standing on burning ground (and I assume the same on cold but I have a harder time seeing that effect on the screen).

Why don't our resists protest us against that type of damage?

hello!

Our build's offense scales dramatically based on the level of Incinerate.

You still have plenty of room for lots of DPS growth

1) Empower 4 (will raise the level of Incin)

2) Skin of the Lords. Will raise all socketed gems, which includes raising Incin and Empower (which in turn will raise Incin yet again)

3) Awakened Elemental Focus Level 5 (will raise the level of Incin)


These three items alone will give you a ton of damage.

The two end game medium clusters (rapid infusion + unwavering focus) add a nice amount of DPS.

If you stick with Controlled Destruction (not my recommendation) and get the Awakened Controlled Destruction Level 5, that will give you an occasional Unnerve buff for more DPS.


And then after all of this there is other ways to get large chunks of DPS but I would focus on these first (Empower 4 is the REALLY expensive one. Others are fairly cheap. I got my Skin of the Lords for 60c and it saved a tree point to boot).
