Hey, just checked your gear and I don't see any chaos resistance in your it. How do you deal with the shortage of chaos resistance other than Atziri's Promise Amethyst Flask?


because we dont try to facetank things and let our totems do the work chaos res isnt as needed as on other melee builds (active dodge is the key to success)

this has probably been asked and answered somewhere in the almost 400 pages of your guide. really wish the forums had a way to search an entire thread easily :)

I noticed in the gear section that you are leveling CWDT, and associated gems, to level 20. almost all other guides keep CWDT at level 1 or 2 so it triggers more often. what is the advantage / reason to max level it?

want to add my thanks for all the work put into this guide, it has been so helpful


because im to lazy to cast my golem by myself and with abyssus you have a lower CWDT treshold than normal

Just done the uber elder with this build. Many thanks <3
What do you think about abyssal jewels with flat phys to attack?
are they worth trying with rigwald's curse?

This is the belt I use with abyssal jewels.

As far as in the skill tree, I go for a mix of Attack Speed and Damage like these

Played this extensively as my Betrayal league starter and this build works amazingly. One of the builds I can definitely recommend for Uber Elder. Killed it 5 times before moving on to another character, not deathless but no close calls after the first one either.

Overall, I have a few additions to make:

1) The damage is quite ridiculous already, so Abyssus is not often useful. Definitely recommend swapping it to a Deidbell for mapping, which gives you extra 20% attack and move speed making mapping a lot more enjoyable.

2) This is an important one and I think should be edited into the build: Starting this league, Tukohama's Fortress is not worth it. Not only do we have 2 extra totems, so the fifth one is only a 25% more dps boost, but the new +1 totem shield prefix makes tukohama redundant.

Tukohama would also disallow use of both Hatred and, what's more important, Herald of Purity, so I really don't see a situation where it's a good shield anymore.

3) War Banner is pretty good. We never get stacks for it, so placing it is useless, but it still gives 10% increased damage taken by enemies for a measly 10% mana reservation



Here's some of my gear. I opted for reduced mana reservation on the shield to make my life a bit easier, but it's not necessary, totems don't cost *that* much. Life is always good, extra resists help go full out on damage rings and amulet.

Overall, 8/10, ridiculous DPS, very safe gameplay-wise, but still has that trademark Berserker fragility. A good boss killer if you understand your fights at least a bit.

If anyone's curious, character name is AncestralPogChief

ty for your feedback, but i think tukohma is still a viable option if you seek more defense (life etc) because as you said yourself. you do more than enough dmg for the whole content

Tukohama doesn't really give much defense though. It gives 100 life max, no res, and about 2k armor. The armor is great, but I saw quite a few shields with 120 life, 100+ resist and an open prefix for the totem mod for less than 20c in first week of the league. That resist and the ability to run hatred+purity affords much more freedom when choosing jewelry, since you can go easier on damage and resists, focusing more on life and other useful stats.

In the end it's your call, but I really don't see how it can compare to a good rare shield with the totem craft (unless they remove that).

You should try Ryslatha's Coil, it's very very very good for our build, way better than any other belt i found
Made it to Level 95 for the first time and it looks like i will get 36 achievements for the first time! Been doing AW builds the last 3 leagues with the last 2 being Heiro builds which I ran the last one up to the Uber Elder fight (he won)!

So I figured i would throw some stats out here to show some diff in the different gear... Ryslatha's Coil does indeed provide a nice DPS boost too!

DPS Stats

All are with 50 Rage ----- Belt . Totems . Per Totem DPS . Total DPS

Multi Totem, Increased Area

Ward Shield.......4.....179,780.....719,120
Meginords Cord..5.....146,479.....732,395
Ryslatha's Coil...5.....167,416.....837,080
Stygian Belt......5.....156,184.....780,920

Delve and Incursion league the Hierophant was around 250k x 4 totems for general mapping. the 4 totems vs the Marauder's 2 totems then was a nice QOL bump

Multi Totem, Concentrated Area

Ward Shield n/a
Meginords Cord..5.....225,582.....1,127,910
Ryslatha's Coil...5.....257,823.....1,289,115
Stygian Belt......5.....240,526.....1,202,630

Full Life Damage, Increased Area

Ward Shield.......2.....229,713.....459,426
Meginords Cord..3.....186,685.....560,055
Ryslatha's Coil...3.....208,834.....626,502
Stygian Belt......3.....199,288.....597,864

Full Life Damage, Concentrated Area

Ward Shield.......2.....299,794.....599,588
Meginords Cord..3.....287,770.....863,310
Ryslatha's Coil...3.....321,608.....964,824
Stygian Belt......3.....306,903.....920,709

Multi Totem, Increased Area, Lions Roar, Atziri Promise

Ward Shield.......4.....263,743.....1,054,972
Meginords Cord..5.....215,169.....1,075,845
Ryslatha's Coil...5.....240,463.....1,202,315
Stygian Belt......5.....229,053.....1,145,265

Multi Totem, Concentrated Area, Lions Roar, Atziri Promise

Ward Shield.......4.....406,160.....1,624,640
Meginords Cord..5.....331,364.....1,656,820
Ryslatha's Coil...5.....370,319.....1,851,595
Stygian Belt......5.....307,255.....1,536,275

These numbers are all with the following gear including the devoto's helm. It has the totem enchantment which helps a lot but for DPS it just doesn't compare to the Abysuss. Abysuss will get you over 2M DPS...
Unfortunately the Syndicate fights were killing me way too often with the Abysuss so it had to go...
have done all content except uber elder and 3 unique maps with no problems... spent about 6 ex for gear for the league...
I also focus more on HP than DPS so it will be lower than other version but i also have 7,150 HP and that really helps me stay alive!
Delve wise i am almost to 300, same as the delve league...
My Tree is a bit different too with more hp nodes

Gear
Edit:
Updated the dps for the Ryslatha's Coil as i got a better one and have been using to add a bit more DPS (2.25% more). only because i am still over 7k hp. for me the extra Hp has been better than the lost DPS.
Also grabbed a Loreweave (bad DPS rolls), it added about 15% DPS. the HP loss though is way too much at about 700 hp.
