I'm trying this build to league start in Flashback event, I need to invest in my equip but feels pretty smooth and I don't get the last Ascendancy (duelist) or even good equip/jewels , I think it's really good but expensive to get good abyss jewels watcher's eye rings and amulet

I leave my equipment and if you want to give me some advice, go ahead

Gear

Hey man, thanks for trying it out and liking it :)

You are actually completely on the right path with your gear, everything looks super fine to me.
Yes, good Rings etc. will cost a lot, but you don't need stuff that costs 3ex and more to do even Uber Elder.

For now, the biggest upgrade to your Character will be getting the Slayer Ascendancy. I actually don't recommend taking the Ranger Start so early, I recommend going Slayer->Raider->Ranger Start or Raider->Slayer->Ranger Start.
We really need Slayer, and this way we can get it early and all our Uber Lab gives us are some passive points.
I recommend you either Unspec out of the Ranger Start + the 1 passive Point Node before it (costs 5 Regret Orbs per Ascendancy Node) and then run Normal Lab again, at the end of which you can put those 2 Nodes you unspecced into Slayer.
OR you push for Uber Lab real fast via global 820 channel. Maybe ask others if they have the trials you need in their map.

If you decide to unspec the Ranger Start and take Slayer now, your tree should look like this after: www.poeurl.com/bUtl As you can see you loose 2 Skillpoints overall, but it's no big deal.
Your next points should go into Vaal Pact then, like this: www.poeurl.com/bUtm

If you take Slayer and Vaal Pact, you don't need a Life Flask anymore. Make getting an Atziri's Promise instead your goal, which will be a huge Boost to your damage and also some survivability.
Also, at this point you can Replace Melee Physical Damage with Damage on Full Life in your Helmet, and Added Fire with Damage on full Life in your Chest. You will always be on Full Life and this will be a lot more Damage.

Also consider corrupting your Touch of Anguish to 30% Quality with Beastcrafting, which will be a big DPS upgrade as well.

Lastly, a Cold Conversion Watcher's Eye usually goes for 3 to 4ex in a league, which is pretty affordable. It is only really expensive in Flashback.

Hope I could help :)

Thank you very much, I appreciate so much your help and your enthusiasm to keep helping.

I need the last Trial to do Uber Izaro and get slayer and Vaal pact almost done
I will corrupt the touch of anguish for 30% quality and replace melee physical damage for damage on full life, today when I finish Itzaro.

I update my tree, gear, flask and put a Lion's roar, actually I feel pretty comfortable but don't know how to really upgrade in DPS without the watcher's eye cold conversion 7-12ex is so much to expend.
What is better to aim 6L or watcher's eye or maybe better jewelry?
I'm actually with 3ex~ but If I keep farming I can got more.
and for the last one, I will put Phase Acrobatics :) thanks for all.

Thanks, Im looking for jewels and rings but is a bit clunky to keep all resistance up to 75 and cover str+intelligence requirements,rn I regal all my jewels but never lucky lul only es things
I think if I take the "coldhearted calculation" node in the tree with +20int it can be much easier to take a better ring, with more damage/resistance.
Well, thank you for the search link with abyss jewels thats a really good help I will be using it,I did'nt know how many mods I could take and thanks for the help I will be back when I get a better equip to say hey that guy help me a lot even if I write like a monkey (because English is not my native language) I appreciate your help and all your aparts in the build that helps a lot espeacially that search to go and buy :)

E: just checked your Gear and Tree. You barely picked and Life and there is plenty in reach, why don't you get it if you feel you are lacking? Also, maybe grab some gear with actual life on it.

Because I was following your build guide. Yes, I could have done my own and differed away from it, but I wanted to follow the guide you outlined... because you ... made a guide... And I need Carnage Heart to address the Int deficiency (so no life there), and Praxis to address the mana issues (no life there either). Yes, I could swap the boots and gloves out for better life, but even that would only give me ~1200 or so with the current nodes.

The current build guide as it stands simply does not work (esp. for HC). For example, I just got 1-shotted by the boss in the Act II Twilight Strand (the exploding spirit). And this is rocking BiS gear for this build type. As I also mentioned, there are serious issues with keeping up Int as well (and Str depending on items).

I have never, ever in my life died to the boss in A2TS. So yah, the leveling section of this build needs a complete overhaul/redux. My other characters on average have between 2k-2.5k health at this point (L48 or so).

I've taken other Sunder, Cyclone and Reave builds to end-game with 0-1 deaths (on average).

This build has potential, but it really needs a complete redesign to be player friendly relative to guiding the player through the leveling process without numerous deaths.

As it stands, I've already dismantled the character and walked away from it. It's just not worth the effort to correct the deficiencies in the guide relative to leveling when I can use other builds that level much smoother and are also solid at end-game.

You gotta put some thought in the levelling process while following the build. If you're HC, of course you should prioritize life and defenses over damage (the creator of the guide could put some more in-depth info for the levelling part for both SC and HC, but it's unnecessary, IMO).

My character just got past Act 5 Kitava SSFHC (on the slowest pace of the universe because it's just my second HC character and I'm saving some energy for Incursion) and you just gotta actively dodge and know what you're doing/have good reflexes. Most enemies simply explode before they can do anything, and if you have good attack speed with Whirling Blades, it's a breeze. While I agree I did had some trouble with STR/INT requirements, you can always grab some of these stats on an amulet or one of those 30 STR/INT nodes(and if I managed to fix these stats on my SSF character, it will be 10 times easier on a trade league).

Hi, interesting looking build and looking forward to the updates.

Quick question - might have missed it, but I couldn't see anything on suggested helm/etc enchants. I'd guess Blade Flurry damage or Blood Rage attack speed, or would a clearing skill AOE/damage buff be more overall utility?

Also, guessing Blade Flurry's the most important gem to get to 21/20 (though I suppose with the 3.3. Vaal gems providing normal skills, a 21/20 Vaal Reave will be nice to attempt) - anything unintuitive in priority after that?
