Played this for the last ~10 days of Incursion, was very happy with how it went, once I respected into acrobatics and phase acrobatics and dropped MOM around 6k life.

Any anticipated major changes for this build for Delve?

Hello,

Just wanted to say awesome guide! I've tried this out during Incursion league and I had tons of fun playing it and I thought levelling with it was quite smooth. I was wondering if mf build is viable for it or would it be a little tough since it's recommended to have higher life and maxed out resistances?

So i played this build for the last few days of the League and i really enjoyed playing it. Im gonna be playing it if it does not get nerfed in the upcoming Patch. But i still got a few questions left since im still rather new to the game (started this season). My profile is set on public so if someone would be nice enough to look at my char and tell me how to improve i'd be very happy. I can easily farm maps even up to T16 but didnt try Shaper or Elder. Obviously the next huge damage buff for my build would be getting a 6L Inpulsa but what else would give me a decent improvement gear wise? According to PoB im sitting at 1.1 million damage but idk if thats much. At least it feels like a lot since im basically one shotting all trash mobs in T16 maps.

So you are one shotting all of the games content except 2 of the hardest bosses. On a 5 link. With a lvl 84 character. My guess is: you are doing fine! This is absolutely normal for this build! :)

On a more serious note though, it seems like you found the right balance. No big mistakes. All you can do now it get everything you already have but better. Some advice:

- Unspec the second duration cluter and health nodes after the scion life wheel. You could get a BV duration helmet enchantment to get the same effect.
- This would allow you to get more jewel sockets. Aim for jewels with at least 3 usefull affixes (life, crit multi and damage).
- Path your tree through Deep Wisdom. Free 20 mana and you are closer to a jewel socket you should get anyway.
- If you feel that you need more survivability try Mind over Matter or Phase Acrobatics.
- Get a 6-link. Easy :)
- A scepter would theoreticly be better than a second dagger if you can get enough crit chance elsewhere.
- Get a Stygian Vise belt for another jewel socket. An abyssal jewel granting Onslaught on kill is my go to.
- Basicly every piece of gear could be a bit better. More life, more resistances, more damage on every roll, on every gear. Same goes for jewels.
- An elder ring with Warlord's Mark on Hit would free up some gem slots and apply the curse more reliably than the herald setup.
- You can be creative with the newfound gem slots. Some options: Portal, Flame Dash, Vaal Haste, Decoy Totem, a supported Lightning Golem. My personal favorite is Vaal Righteous Fire.

After that upgrades are possible but just not worth their price tag. You should already be able to beat all the content in the game. Maybe with Delve we can explore how high you can crank up this build.
