For really hard fights, I would 100% of the time prefer just a simple tabula rasa over any other chest piece (except a 5+ linked Cospri's obviously). The reason is pretty simple: having a 20/20 Added Chaos gem is massive for the damage (the lvl 15 your chest provides you is just good for general mapping). You also NEED Void Manipulation, it pretty much doubles your damage by itself.
The tabula allows you to switch gems freely, without any colour issue.
You gear is ok for SSF; you could try to craft some better jewels (with good damage mods), but I suppose you need the resistences they give you, so it's not something easy to improve.

Fair enough, Should i use a belly or something perhaps then for the life i guess for Shaper/Uber atziri? So i can get void manipulation and a 20/20 added chaos in?

If you have a Belly, or something else, already 6 linked and gettin the right colours isn't too expensive, that's perfectly fine. Otherwise a tabula should be enough.

You tested it in 2.6? How AOE nerf affected Obliteration explossions coverage? It could very well cripple build hard.

In my opinion you do not notice any real difference.

Thanks for the build ! Clearing T13-14 without any real issue (even with only 5-link Cospri's)

Here's my current passive tree at level 90

Tooltip DPS in Hideout :
0 stack : 5.071
20 stacks : 35.551

Here is my current gear :


Rings could be better, but they are good enough for now (resists are 74% / 68% / 72% )

I'm currently heading to Guardians/Shaper ; will probably post another message when it's done !

Hi, very nice build.

I'm trying to switch to hidden potential gear, but I'm having a hard time getting an amulet. I've already spent 2.5k alt and vaaled 30 amulets, but not successfull.
Should I buy an amulet with additional curse and random stat or is it better to wait for one with max life & resist?
I already have devoto with 30% curse and atziri's boots +1 lvl to socketed gems in stash, magic rings, belt and gloves almost good also.

Hey man! I consider the third curse a luxury, since it's not mandatory at all to be able to complete any content in the game. I would 100% prefer having a good amulet (80life + res/attributes) without any corruption, than a garbage one with the additional curse. Moreover having the implicit attributes on an amulet help you deal with those stats requirements (if you have any problem with those).
In the end it obviously depends on the budget you have available and you are willing to invest, because a good amulet with +1 curse is for sure the best you can get, but it's going to be very expensive (as you already noticed). It's also worth considering those talismans with implicit damage or %life, if you can get one with good affixes.

havent seen any1 taking the chaos dmg nodes near vaal pact why ?

If you are pushing the character to lvl 95+, those are some nodes you can consider for sure, but in reality this build does not need more damage. Most players prefer spending those few points in life and/or jewels, allowing a smoother and safer playstyle.

ok , that makes sense. ty for the reply m8 :>

Hi guys, I've started a new character following this build and the hidden potential route. Was wondering how much resistance is ok for each piece of gear? I' reached merciless and my resists are all below zero, so I need to invest in some late eggar stuff.
