Is this uber elder viable?



Uber elder is like Shaper. Get the mechanics in your head an you're good to go. of course the more damage you do the less time you have for making mistakes and the more tanky you are the more mistakes are possible. try to find what suits your playstyle

Keep up the good work Sovyn.

In the section about Lightning Strike, you say:
"
Tip: Open options/input. Scroll down to 'attack in place'. Bind attack in place to a key on the numberpad (I use 7). Turn num lock on, then hold down your num 7 and turn off num lock, then release 7. You now always attack with the ranged attack.

When I click a skill slot to select the skill for it, there is now an option at the top "Always Attack Without Moving". Does that have the same effect?

Hi
Im very new to POE and i have been following your build.
Could you please explain to me how elemental weakness and curse on hit are activated when your cast on damage taken gem states that it only works on gem required level 38 and below ?
Your two skill gems are level required 58 and 70

They aren't using Cast When Damage Taken (CWDT) to apply the curse.

They are using the Reckoning skill (a counterattack) and a Curse On Hit support gem. There is no level limitation with this setup.

Counter-Attacks - As we are block specialists, we can utilize all three of the available counter-attacks. The counter-attacks and their associated gems can be leveled up all the way.

The Counter-Attacks provide a way to passively curse our enemies for additional defense or offense and also do some free damage. I have chosen Reckoning for this purpose as it applies the curse to more enemies than the other Counter-Attack skills could.

Link with Curse on Hit and your choice of one curse: Enfeeble - The only choice for hardcore, this is very powerful against endgame bosses due to its ability to reduce their damage and critical strikes, or you can use Vulnerability (for physical attack skills) or Elemental Weakness (for elemental attack skills) here instead of Enfeeble in easy going areas for additional offensive capability. For high level characters with top tier equipment, Punishment is probably the best DPS curse if you choose a close-range melee skill. Other good curse choices if you have mana troubles are Warlord's Mark or Poacher's Mark, or use Assassin's Mark to further the critical strike capability of the build.

If you want to use a 4-link item for this, optional choices include the counter-attack when you are hit, Vengeance to apply your curse slightly more frequently, or Blind for additional defense.

Four linked socket item (example, boots):

Reckoning (red) - Curse on Hit (blue) - Enfeeble or Vulnerability or Elemental Weakness or Warlord's Mark or Poacher's Mark or Assassin's Mark (your choice) - Vengeance (red, optional) or Blind (green, optional)

Yes, it does. That facility was added after I wrote that section. Thank you for the reminder.

For the counterattack method see quote above.

Another way to do it that I have been experimenting with:



As you can see, tempest shield is below the level of the level one CWDT trigger level of 38. The tempest shield effect works with the max leveled curse on hit and any level curse gem (Just cant level it more due to lack of intelligence stat).

Either way works, not sure if one way or the other is better. This way saves a gem slot by eliminating counterattacks if you are very tight on gem slots. Obviously manual cast will always get you better curse coverage.
I think I saw ur view in the 1st season to get some ideas for my build.
After lot of expansions and long time no playing times, here I am.

This season yours and mine still looking quite similar but I think there´s something huge u r missing on it and is the blue nightmare in the templar slot instead of a simple reckless defiance.
Check it out mate. 2 ex well worthy to cap shield block...

Im still looking for some others ideas to reach the max spell cap being templar.
The 10% of guardian ascendary also helps if u use a cwdt with a molten shell included. and also the 3% of the tempest shield.

If u have any other idea please write me back.
I will never use Lapis. Anvil will always be the one.
There wasn't really any big changes for us outside of how Consecrated Ground works with Pious Path right?

Might try this with some bits of some Lacerate builds I've copied if I have to stand still now.
