Started playing this build as my first Low Life build and have to say that I am loving it so far. Level 85 right now, didn't try Shaper yet (have yet to unlock him really. Ran Normal Atziri a few times, it's laughably easy with this build and Uber lab is a breeze. (Still trying to get the damn helm enchant ;_;)

I die here and there but I just need to learn to play this build really, it's not as complex as learning a Summoner opener in Final Fantasy XIV but it's still up there as far as "hard-ish to pick up and play builds" IMO. I usually like contact builds more, my favourite build ever had to be Bino's molten strike ranger followed by dual claw, dual strike. But this build kind of simulates that since you have to get up in the face of enemies to place your mines.

Will post if and when I kill Shaper but thanks for the guide, it's really a fun and powerful build to play.

My gear ATM, I've had higher ES boots but 0 movement speed, I really felt like I need that so I downgraded in a way in terms of ES. Went for Unset ring because I really like Vaal Lightning Trap.

Quite strange, you have better gear then i had fightning Shaper. What problems with him you experience? He kills you with teleport slam, or you cannot protect zana while she is closing portal?

I dont know... Tried shaper yesterday and couldnt even finish p2.
Someone could have a look at my toon (ItsMine_), if im missing something obvious. Tooltip is around 5100. Im just not feeling the "mad dps"

Or maybe i should just stop trying and accept the fact that im too bad ;-(

HI guys!
First of all I tried Shaper and failed on phase 2 cause it took too long and there were black holes exactly where Zana steps with her red shield... Maybe I missplayed but can I have your advice on my gear? I know there is room for improvement (expensive improvements) but do you think I should be able to kill him with my actual gear? If not, what should I try to improve first?
PS: Have 7.8K ES with discipline (quite low for mapping), DPS: 4167 with IncAOE, 6326 with Conc in town.

Second question: I have the currencies to afford a shavronne and switch to LL. Is there any big DPS or survivability improvement given I can't afford a presence of Chayula to convert life into more ES?

Thanks for your help

I don't need to look at your gear. If you have 6.3k conc dps then you should be destroying shaper.

Are you placing your wither totem and all your mines properly?

What do u mind with "properly"? I place my totem around the shaper all the time and spam the mines at his feets. I just read that maybe, I should wait before placing another set of 9 mines. Should I wait until the visual effect is over?

Yes, as i said before - in order to cast fire nova pulsing - mine must be alive. If you place mine 10th mine - 1stt mine will be destroyed.
If you just spam mines, you will probably have only 30% of your entire damage, cause by pulses damage is about 1+2+3 = 4+5 = 6. One last pulse is equivalent to first 3 altogether

But we have clever construction so mines should be undestructible for 7 sec so shouldn't be any problem right? Given you are right, u mean I should place a set of 3 mines, detonate, place another set of 3 mines etc...? Or should I place 3 sets of 3 mines, detonate, wait (how long?) and replace 3 sets of 3 mines? Sorry I might sound stupid but the visual effect of the mine exploding does not help me understand how it works^^

I literally don't have any problems. Did you see that new GIF of me one shotting last phase? that was on 6.3k conc dps.
