Just make sure you have remove shock rolled on to one of your other flasks. Honestly though, the Uber lab is not hard for this build. Just make sure you give yourself time for your ES to regen after running through a bunch of traps, and you shouldn't be able to clear it relatively easily. I did it at 79, mostly because I had a Crystal Belt waiting for me at that level. I could have probably done it four or five levels earlier.

u playing this build ? i go use your tree
skill tree is messed up can someone please post an updated version
Been reading through 80 of about 100+ pages here and was wondering why everyone is wasting 10 points going for Unwavering stance. Get Heart of the Oak node and "80% chance avoid being stunned if you killed recently" on boots from Uber lab. Together they make you stun immune without wasting item slot/skill points, if you kill all the time. For big bosses like Shaper, get The Writhing Jar flask. It spawns worms, you kill worms - stun immunity for 4 sec. Flask has 3 uses, 3x4=12 sec of immunity.
Used this in my lvl 100 blade flurry howa last league with great results.
The freed up points may be used by grabbing jewel sockets after Elemental overload node. Makes you ele. weakness capped/gives more dps.
Speaking of enchants, what are the ideal enchants for you gear?

I just built my HoWa Raider and up until lvl 68, I found it kinda tough, but after I got a 5L and started using HoWa, it's been crazy strong.

Planning to do uber lab runs this weekeend and wondering what enchants I should be looking out for.

Thanks in advance!

I think it's mostly for convenience and besides that, Brute force is pretty good.
In my case i cba to run the lab for the enchant and for my current gear, if i spec out of it, i lose 200 es and gain aprox 5% more dps by using 2 more jewels with 3 offensive mods.

Ofc if u want to min max for full dps it is better to spec out of it. Using 4 mod jewels will net more dps. It just feels pointless in temporary league when you can clear all content anyway w/o to much of an investment.

40% dmg for spectral throw is the best. The 30% speed one it's more of a quality of life change on bosses since you'll have slightly more range while using slow proj which is not needed if you have above avg gear(facetanking like a pro).
You don't need them to clear the content anyway.Shit Es helmets go for 5ex + just because Howa is meta.Better save the money for other projects.

That tree will get you 23400 DPS and 9800 ES, up from your current 18850 and 9520, using exactly the same amount of points. Also; you'll get two sets of flask nodes which add a ton of survivability and DPS. The only thing you'll drop is 1% max lightning resist. It is nice to have, but the flask nodes will cover that easily by having Vinktars up much more often (probably 2/3 of the time while clearing), and more effect when up. And yes, doing the Uber Lab will pay off. 40% increased damage, and the movement speed for faster clearing, plus elemental status immunity is huge for survival and general clear speed. You really, really need this. Currently you have no way to remove shock, and Vinktars shocks you on use. 50% increased damage taken will murder you, especially in breaches. You should be able to pretty much face tank Izaro, so don't worry about it.

A six link with 20/20 Faster Attacks will take you up to 27.5K DPS. Don't bother going crit, I don't think it's worth it. The only time it makes sense is at really, really high gear levels, and at that point you're already clearing everything in the game at a crazy pace anyway. Spending a bunch of currency on crit gear to make Shaper take 30s instead of 40 doesn't seem worth it.



Oh wow thanks homie I had no idea my tree was so inefficient. (I initially thought it might be outdated since I followed ZiggyD's guide from last league).



I'm just wondering do I follow the tree you posted or the one someone suggested the page before?

since one seems to have more ES with the flask duration increased and less damage than other (think you posted the more ES one).


I was just wondering if having more damage outweighed the less ES or not. (Assuming the more damage tree would be better when I have really good ES gear?)


Thanks for the help homies and will deff be trying to do Uber Lab after I respec later today when I know which tree to follow.Thanks!

I ripped in uber lab traps (HC) with last char, now back again. I guess I will practice first on softcore before I try this on HC again.

There are trap layouts where there is no safe spot, and just running through hoping you will hit the end before your ES reaches zero is not an option on HC.

I will use darkscorn + soulstrike in weapon swap + blink arrow + Sorrow of the Divine flask, at least that's what I read is the best setup for ES Vaal Pact builds withtou Zealot's Oath in traps.

And I always use Decoy Totem for bosses and Izaro.
