* Get Uber Lab asap. Either level up quickly and do it yourself or pay for completion. Get life flasks and use Ryslatha pantheon.

* Get 6-link crafted bow and quiver (if not, use level 3 corrupted Empower on torso instead of Decay. Costs around 7c).

* If not going for bow, buy better torso. You can buy RGGBBB 6-linked corrupted torso with 800 evasion with 20c. You can go lower with evasion to get it even cheaper.

* If not going for bow, buy better wand. 80% spell dam and 20% non-ailment chaos damage multiplier costs 10c for example.

* If not going for bow, buy better shield. You can get 80% spell damage to shield very cheap, just get some life and resists too.

* You can get way better jewellery. You can even buy Mark of the Shaper (~4c) and some elder ring to get nice damage boost.
Hey guys, looking for advice as to what would be the next things to upgrade to further improve effective life + dmg:

Stats:
lvl 90, with MoM, EB + Wicked ward.
ED tooltip: 284/290k DoT (w/o, with golem)
Life: 4.7K / ES: 2.5k, Mana: 243/1620

Thanks this is very helpful. Going to skip on the bow for now too expensive so going to go with the better wand and shield for more damage.

When I do switch to bow do I still use empower? Also with mark of the shaper I have to reserve a lot more mana due to no essence worm, would that effect things much?
Yesterday I did my first Uber Elder and Mastermind, this build is extremely cool. Thanks to the guy who made it, and to those who helped me in this forum, I feel pretty happy for the time I spend playing it.

After other upgrades, set your sights on the bow.

Yes, same links with Empower. You could use The Devouring Diadem to squeeze all the auras in without Essence Worm. Personally I chose to use Shavronne's Wrappings and I made low life version so I could get even more auras (and 30% more spell damage from Pain Attunement).

I recently dropped Wicked Ward and didn't notice a change. Beat UE multiple times deathless without it, so I think you could use those points elsewhere.
anyone else tried Doryani's Glorious Vanity?

50% of Non-Chaos Damage taken bypasses Energy Shield
Gain 20% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield
(Comes from Glorious Vanity when sacrificed in the name of "Doryani")

pretty insane as your ED regen can be applied to HP
beats speccing into both MoM/EB imo
similar to melee with that jewel and soultether

Is there a reason why I'm mostly seeing people go ED/cont and very few people using bane or soulrend? Is ed+contagion just that much better than bane for clearing and ed for single target or for monoliths or something?

There's a fair amount of us using Soulrend/Bane (I feel like I answer this same question once a week). ED/Contagion is superior in the sense that it can easily capitalize on the way it interacts with the league mechanic, whereas Soulrend/Bane is better for high-tier mapping/bossing. It also comes down to individual preference. I played both, but have mostly stuck with Souldrend/Bane for the majority of the time.
