I started Heist with that build but after spending a month on it, I feel too squishy. I'm bored to farm red maps and got oneshot by some bosses and some weird monsters.


I wanted to min-max this build to oneshot a lot of bosses soo I tried to farm currencies as much as I can. The huge improvement I need are really not cheap and I still have to do 5-6 hits on most of Tier14+ map bosses... I took this build precisely to be able to oneshot and I don't know if we are able to reach that without Harvest craft.


So I'll probably reroll and sell this staff, but I don't know how much it really costs...

Spoiler

Edit: I think there is a problem with my stuff... I mean I'm importing my character on your PoB Crit Mid-budget and I only have 17M damages... I don't understand...

Here is your PoB but with my character setup (to keep the same Configuration settings): https://pastebin.com/SgXmSXiq

Hi!
I rerolled using this guide and leveling has been a blast so far. I stumbled upon a problem, though. Until second lab (I took Valako first, and Ngamahu second), I'd been using life/mana leech on pyhs attack to keep myself going, but after picking up the Ngamahu Ascendancy, I don't deal any pyhs damage anymore and am unable to sustain my mana. I switched to using a Thief's Torment for now to gain mana on hit, but I regularly found myself unable to slam for 1-2 Seconds after using 3 cries.
How does this play out later? I'm only on 56 so far, so a long way to go, but I can't see anything about the mana issues in the build (except for the tip in the leveling section about using Praxis or anointing mana leech on attack, but in endgame we want a different anoint and there is no mod for this kind of mana leech)

I assume that a bit more mana regen would do the trick, probably? I just wonder how it is supposed to play out :)

Thanks for the guide, the build feels really HULK SMASH-y, exactly what I was looking for :)

This looks interesting, never really did try tectonic slam, so sorry though but do you want to use staff when leveling as well, to take advantage of the passive points, and if so, are there any good staffs uniques that is, to level with?
Or should I just, chuck some essences on rare staffs?

For Mana sustain,

During leveling using mana flask should be fine. Also, no need to run precision and anger until end-game.

in early mapping you can anoint the Thrill seeker that can solve mana problem

in high-tier mapping, Usually you will have around ~200 available mana, there's no need for mana anointment. The cinderswallow's recover #% of mana when killing enemny is good enough.


For end-game, when we run enlighten4 + anger + precision, it requires the -9 mana cost craft on both rings. Then the only skill that costs mana is our slam (costs 24). Our mana regen is around 15/s, since we slam once per 2 seconds, we have more than enough mana sustain in end-game. On top of that, we still have the cinderswallow mana leech : )

Hi, no need to use staff for leveling.

you can start using disintegrator staff after lvl64 then allocate the staff-related nodes.
