The following changes have been made:

- The shield used is now Prism Guardian. This allows us to run herald of ice (and Discipline to compensate for the ES loss of another shield). It also means 2 additional buffs for Mantra of Flames. Using an ES shield and the old setup is still very viable, tho.

- Intuitive Leap is being used near "Overcharged" in order to have all charge types at all times. This is a pretty fucking awesome change so I advise you make it.

How much ES do you have now? You had like 8.8k before, and now you're losing like 500+ es on your shield and gaining only 300 from disc. So I assume you're down to like 8k es? To be honest that seems way too low. I'm playing a variant of your build similar to Larsahh_ and I'm sitting at 11.75k ES, and should be able to hit 12k in a few levels. I'm still able to speed clear T15 maps and 1 shot bosses so I dunno, I don't see a reason for running an 8k ES variant. Especially since more ES = more VRF damage.

I'm at 8.5k now. So not much difference.

For me T15 isn't important, it's T16 that matters most. As long as I can get 1 shots on the guardians, I'm happy. Working in herald of ice feels pretty nice too. I just hit level 95 and haven't died. I'll take a look at your version tho.

Edit: Just took a look, and it seems like a solid version as well. If I had a shield like yours, I'd stick to the ES shield too. The main difference is that I've got an immortal call setup (which has long immortal calls now thanks to my intuitive leap change) and an extra aura. But we have a pretty big difference in ES. TECHNICALLY it would make sense to get the extra ES, but I feel once a build doesn't get hit and 1-shots guardians, it all becomes redundant.

I'd be interested to try out your version for a few days and probably post the variant here.

I haven't tried Guardians yet, waiting until level 93 when I'll finish the elemental damage nodes in Shadow starting area, but I imagine I should still be able to 1 shot them. With Vaal Disc up i'm at 17k ES so that should scale really nicely with VRF. I also opted to not take those %fire dmg nodes and instead go for %ele (which also double dips with burning) since I calculated my Hooves dmg was only about 43% fire, 57% cold/lightning/chaos. Currently I'm running HOI and no HOT, though my plan is to use 3.5% crit gloves so that my herald can crit and provide much better uptime on EO. Though at the moment I'm unsure whether HOI or HOT would be better for that purpose (needs testing).

Edit: One footnote, if you do test out my variant, the Conqueror's Efficiency I have socketed in is so that I have above 54 unreserved mana to cast golems, but it isn't optimal. Ideally id have reduced anger reservation on my helm, though alternative solutions are stacking 1080 mana (so that you have 54 unreserved, enough to cast lvl 20 golems), or shuffling some gem links around to link reduced mana with your golems. Could also use lower level golems, but that's kinda shitty since they will die so often.

Just throwing a random idea out: try putting your golems in CWDT. I am currently using this setup:

And it's working out great. Golems are out 100% of the time and I don't have the hassle of recasting them.

EDIT:

Why not using paragon of calamity instead of beacon of ruin? The AOE clear speed is already insane, beacon of ruin seems a bit.. Redundant.

Beacon of ruin is like...one of the main elements of this build lol

As for the golems on the CWDT, I would rather have a longer immortal call than a lightning golem. If you're fine with shorter IC, then your setup is fine too.

Why is that? I mean, without it I am clearing just like you are in the videos (without dying sun tho). The golem combined with my wand makes me do more light damage than fire damage, and also works great with vaal RF. ID gives IC like 0.3 more seconds of duration, I think the golem damage overweights that - in my experience.

First:Thx for this funny and awesome build, thx for your work.

Second:I need a little help.Im building this character atm (lvl 79) and i have some serious problem.I die simply too much.I know my stuffs are not the best but i guess, i should farm t11 already, but im stuck on t9-t10.I know i have to grind to get more passives but if i die a lot then its a bit hard.I have a question, what would be the best improvement for me:buy that green dream jewel (atm lack some chaoses) or buy the vinktar flask?What would be better for now?The dps is not bad, i think i need some defensive improvement.But i think the dps will be less (not on trash mobs, but on rares)if i make some changes on the tree with regret orbs.I hope u understood me and my bad english.Thx in advance, peace.

Ohh something what i forgot:i know i dont use atm phase gem (simply forgot it to colour my helmet) and my gloves....Hmm thats first problem in defense, i dont have enough currency to colour it (4R), so i use lightning golem with fire golem.(no id gem)btw, is it better if u have 2 fire or 1fire 1lightning golem in dps?
