Apologies, I don't understand this one. Guide all still seems to be accessible by clicking on the spoilers. Did you mean something else and I am just not understanding?

Another small mission accomplished. Build is momentarily top of the HC delve ladder. Still feels strong at 333 below.

Hey, I like your build very much.

My version is https://pobb.in/VGYdAGL0FW3- and while the survivability is quite good (I am in softcore trade but still) the damage is not that great. What did I do wrong?

I checked your POB and it looks solid--should be getting north of 1M Dps per totem for 4 totems. My best guess is it's an in game thing. (though I have no idea since I haven't seen you play) You need to make sure you are maintaining phantasms (which sometimes requires briefly bringing in extra phantasm summoning totems to get back up to 10) and maintaining infusion by channeling periodically. If the phantasms aren't up and you aren't maintaining infusion, you'll be missing a big chunk of your damage.

Also, compared to high end softcore builds, It is definitely gonna be low on offense. 4M dps in hc feels pretty good. I imagine it feels less good in SC, though I am really only guessing.

Hope that helps? Glad you are liking the build either way.

Thanks for the extra quick answer!

I am trying :) I see 11 phantasms usually and I try to maintain infusion. However, when I tried to a Hidden invite, Esh just wiped me :( Oh well, I guess that's a bit too much.

Haven't done hidden this go round, but formed and elderslayers went pretty smooth. I posted videos of those in the main guide, dont know if that might help? Without looking over your shoulder while you play I'm not sure how else to help, but I can tell you that your build looks pretty close.

Luck,

Welp, I found a way to get myself killed. In a very Unclever way.

Went to do an ordinary T16 untainted run and just turned my brain off and started typing in chat. The thing about the build is that if you stop moving, you stop refreshing molten shell and become vulnerable. Stopped running in the wrong spot, looked up and character was dead. Unglorious end. Very dumb, good reminder.

Planning to take a little time to practice some of the boss fights in SC that I have found challenging. Then I'll probably try to reroll it again.

Hope some of you trying it out are enjoying it as much as I did.
