Not going to lie, trying to cap resistances while using cyclopean belt and cannot chill / freeze boots might be one of the most stressful things I've done crafting wise in this game. lol.

It took some insane luck to pull it off and required me running Diamond Skin. I have no idea how you guys who did it are pulling off max res using just a ring and boots without diamond skin.

Main reason I did this was because I kept hitting map mods where I was getting frozen in place and getting my ES chunked. Came close to death a few times this way. Should be much safer now.

My question to you guys who have went down this path, did you end up going Bastion of Hope or Time of Need afterwards? BOH to me seems just straight up better after you've went through the trouble to eliminate chill / frozen / ignite / shock. But wanted you're guys thoughts.

You can always get a corrupted Cyclopean Coil with 15 to all elemental resistance haha.

Or you can do just can not be frozen, which substantially reduce the resistance requirement. Soul of Brine King is pretty decent against chill and stun.

I think CTSabba uses Bastion of Hope, can certainly make argument for either. I am leaning toward Bastion of Hope as well for the complete lazy playing style. As you can take Lunaria against projectiles and chain damage.

But yes, when I get a chance I am going to have to update the guide to use Cyclopean Coil and Can Not Be Chilled / Frozen Boots. The complete immunity to everything is just too good.

Diamond Skin is not bad at all. Utmost Might only gives me around 800 energy shield. With Diamond Skin there is a good chance you will be able to take less resistance else where and get more mana/into/strength so the real gap is smaller.

So..can anyone post a budget version of this? Looking at the "Starter" gear..that's like 20+ exalt lol

To be clear this isn't a league starter build. If you're looking for budget then this build probably isn't right for you. I'm over 10ex deep and I still have a TON I can upgrade. Most of what's left for me is big items too, like 7ex here, 10ex there. That sort of stuff.

You can play the build cheaper but even starting out it was probably 5ex or more into it before I really felt like it was really smooth to play. That's not to say this is a bad build. It's not. It's really tanky and good. But cheap is not what it is.

Yeah, no doubt. I'm interested in it, because I keep dying constantly on my freezing totem guy. I've got 5ex / 700c..but this build just looks insanely expensive..and I don't really know what is required to get it going. Is it everything in the starter section? Cuz..I don't think I have half of what it takes to hit those items. I just don't want to start a new char, to find out..I didn't have enough to make it decent enough to be better than my current crapper totem build.

boots with the chill/frozen mod make it easier to cap over using rainbow stride. if you used a good base for the boots then you have 80-90 res on them. rainbow stride is only 60% total res.

then take a 150-160 total res ring with mana/es which are also pretty cheap and use the prismatic catalyst on it. you then get 180-190 total res ring. lastly just add a jewel in the spare socket to cap the remaining resistance.

obviously you won't be ele weakness capped but you can add curse immune on a flask instead of chill/freeze immune. so i don't think it's particularly difficult to cap, it's just frustrating trying to balance then all to 75+ with only two pieces of gear

I killed him on 5 just, I don't even know how to fight him properly lol. Mostly just kill the banners as much as possible. That video might help a little. He's easily the hardest for me to kill.

I might invest into cannot be frozen/chilled boots next since it seems to be one of the only things that kill me. I already grabbed the lesser soul to prevent burning ground from chomping on my ES.

I believe he takes less damage for every banner on the field. The rest is just dodging his various slams. They seems to either travel down the lanes or just slam in a particular spot. They're not really tankable as far as I can tell.

He just felt like he had a lot of HP as opposed to doing any sort of damage *shrug* I've mostly died to rippy metas at this point at 13k ES

Got the spectres and I'll be online for a bit

@ManaHOAGie

You can do this as a league starter, but go life based with life gain on hit.
This is not treally what this build is about, but at least you already have the correct ascendency.

This is what i am running right now (was my league starter), and i plan to transision into this build later when i have the currency:



You can check my charackter MathoMetamorph too.

As said, its a different build, but i think transisining into mana guardian can be done pretty smooth, once i acquired the needed 10-20 exalts
