Kelvynn, thank you for the advice! I can't afford good jewel for that socket, but I found one in my stash to place there.

You must be doing something really wrong. Which bosses 1-shot you? What are your resists?

I'm at 75/69/66% resists (78/69/66 uncapped). I attempted and got one-shot by the Excavation, Chateau, and Ivory Temple bosses with the Bismuth flask on.

If I can manage to get fortify up, I can tank them, but I die in the process of getting in melee range to fortify even with precasted Icestorm leech to work with.

Loving the build, looking for a recommendation on what to gear up first. I've modified the tree slightly to get more ES, currently around 9.2k.

Unless you are playing in HC, grabbing extra %ES nodes is a mistake. Int is much better. It gives you base damage and ES too. 1500 Int = 300% inc ES

Yup playing HC - trying to find a good balance and I want to stay minimum 9k ES even at the cost of some int. I'm up to level 90, so now trying to max my gear best as possible and start really going for end game bosses. I think I can hit 10k ES, then switch a few ES nodes to INT and hover closer to 9.5k with better damage.

One of the funnest builds I've done in the past few seasons, really appreciate your time writing the guide!

Drop the silver flask(the only bonus you get from it is movement speed) and one quicksilver flask and replace them with a granite and basalt flask.

Hello everyone.

This is the first build I've managed to hit 90 on! My previous highs were 87, 88, 89 and this is the one I finally managed to not get burnt out on.

I'm able to clear T11-T12 maps quite easily with my current gear. I'm at the point where upgrades are very expensive so I would like to have some advice on what should I be saving up for in regards to my next upgrade as my goal is to be able to get up into the highest tier maps, and maybe if I'm rich try Uber or Shaper.

Most of my gems are level 19 so I'm just about to pop into gem level 20 and starting getting 20/20 on my gems. Other than that, can you offer any suggestions for what I should focus on upgrading? Biggest thing I can see is a crystal belt with a high int roll. Other than that I need to work on my enchants, but I much prefer mapping to running uber labs.

Thanks!

i have 6.7k es and im getting 1 shot by some bosses. the minotor just 1 shot me. if i ran and tried from a distance he appears and 1 shot. i did uber lab fine but i just dont stand a chance against some bosses im max res. also how on earth did you get such a hig es and damge it says 11k im pushing just over 8k

Thanks for the tip, I'll try out this flask setup. Getting about 58% physical damage reduction from both of them up.

In HC you probably want to take Faith & Steel and Nullification - they give ES and resists. At least that's double benefit from non-Int nodes, for the price of 1 jewel socket.

Those must have been maps with +cold/lightning damage, vulnerability, %monster/boss damage - things along those lines. Maxing resists would fix all that.

Under 7k ES is too low for the Minotaur. And if you want to try range killing him you must dodge his Burrow attack that he uses when he can't hit you. You need to know the encounter either way.

My profile is public and my gear in the current temp league and in Standard is in the top post. That's exactly how.

Hey so my resists in hideout are
Fire 156
Cold 151
Light 137

Should i still take Diamond Skin (15 all res)?

I asked before and someone said overcapping res isnt too important so maybe i could save the skill point?

For reference i am lvl 81 with 7.7k es 1544int and 4.2k tooltip unbuffed icestorm dmg.

And after like 10 lvls i could do t16s and shaper with this gear right?


Thanks
