Right now, I am struggling so much in breach that I get 1 or 2 breach fragment per breach at best.
I want to farm them to get a breach stone.
Would you suggest to run wall + frostbolt until I get the atlas running and shift after to wall + spark. Getting 40k DPS with Spark will not be easy

It would be great if you could share your build here. Gear/passive tree/mana pool.
I can't say what is wrong before i see it.

It's always about the gear, passive tree, and/or skill interactions.

I didn't have any problems with breachs after Snakepit switch, so I think there are things that can be fixed here w/o major changes.

~~~~~~

Other than that, I'm busy finishing my build. Need like 13 more divines to call it a day.
After that will share the stuff.

Things already went crazy: 1kk Comet (w/o Elemental Focus), CoS-LC (busted shit even with 56% Shock), Xesht 82 in 1 button (EoW under Soul Offering).



And I need just 1 last upgrade.
Not min-maxed btw, and I won't go for mirror-tier.

Question about controlled metamorphosis Diamond.

In Monik build, I am confused with resistance.
Does the Diamond do -7% to Fire/Cold/Lightning?

In that case, with the build posted, you look much lower than 75%. It seems 53% for Fire.

Do I miss something?

Yes, it's -7% to Fire/Cold/Lightning.

All res were capped in game. I recommend reading the notes:







It's bugged on maxroll:

If you click on "PoB 2 Link" right below the gear section, it will open new page with stats.

Can you test the same thing but removes blasphemy to manual cast temporal chain (only for bosses purpose) ?

Thanks Monik. Yes, maxroll was bugged so I couldn't see the 10% resistance stuff.
I really would like a regalia and I have been looking at them but the cheapest is 12 Div.
Maybe I can save that but that would be all my money. Great armor.

If the season last 1 year, I would be OK to invest but I have no idea how long it is gonna be

Turned off Blasphemy and died on the 1st t16 70% delirious map (wasn't able to react to some crap w/o slow). It was fine before some crap happened.
I guess no-slow is not viable for me for Simulacrum either.

You don't really need it to close all content. Same goes for maligaro.

You can just elaborate on low-budget build with better items (more mana/ES on each piece of gear, better wand, and jewels). On maxroll page there is lvl 95 tree for non-maligaro/morior build too,.

If you take a look on earlier Xesht/Simulacrum videos:

20. Max difficulty Xesht: https://youtu.be/oWo9uiT6Gu4
25. Simulacrum waves 14-15 on max difficulty: https://youtu.be/-BD1Z9nJxT4

Those were done w/o unique gloves/chest.
Right now the cost of that gear is by miles cheaper than it was there.
And the build became way more polished too.

Maligaro is cheap. It looks like it would do a lot more damage.
Maybe twice dps. I am curious.

Also your build is much easier than the one shot frostbolt because you don't run Cast on Crit AND Cast on Freeze.

That looks amazing! So you combined cast on shock and cast on crit? Not really clear image for me

Not twice tho, about 30% more if I recall it right. The biggest thing is cast speed, which we can get instead of critical damage, and this makes maligaros just more comfy to play.

Can try 4-sockets Morior btw.

Ye, CoC-Comet and CoS-LC. I put overcharge support in CoC instead of elemental focus, so Comet applies 56% shock. And triggers LC. No change in gear in terms of spirit, just removed Grim Feast (since I moved to no-ES build) and Heightened Curse from Blasphemy, and Clarity.

In this gif there are about 3-4 LC casts.

I've also recorded just CoS-LC alone w/o CoC - took 3 seconds (2 walls detonation) with 2 damage supports (Inevitable Critial/Elemental Focus/Impetus/Energy Retention).
Should get nerfed fr.

Forgive my ignorance but what is LC that you put with CoShock.

Also I just got a very nice controlled metamorphosis diamond for 100 ex with +12% cold resistance on it and only -6% elemental resistance
