[2.6] CI HoWA ST - Uber / Shaper / Guardians Down - Budget Friendly?

HI, Im running this build now and its awesome but just a few questions. What can I improve on my gear and can I run uber lab with it? Im currently level 80 with 1.155 int 8.8k es and 30k GMP ho tooltip. Im currently sitting at only 85 accuracy though (feelsbadman). If I upgrade my gloves It'll messed up my build and I still need to run uber lab for my last ascendancy. any tips would be highly appreciated. Great build btw, cheers!

When gearing, what should be the topmost priority? Or are there multiple priorities?

In terms of damage? Soak pool? Probably INT, right?

Just having some trouble coming up with a more optimal build with limited funds.

I tweaked the tree a bit - skipped the Forces of Nature area, Nullification, and Sniper to take Coordination, Acuity, and the ES nodes by Deep Wisdom. Don't remember for sure, but I think the changes got me more ES and DPS.

Also: Late in the game, Three Rat talismans are a huge improvement over Astramentis - I think I'm getting around 200 total Int from mine, plus a good amount of resistance.

Hi im just wondering what are the stats of your three rat talisman? im planning to use it instead of astramentis if its better cause I also need accuracy.

Hey. Wouldnt The Blue Dream be a 5% more modifier instead of increased though ? Is that not how added dmg works? Im confused really and i dont really wanna blow my C just to try it out :D

And yea i'll probably drop primal spirit and keep primeval as it is nice for an occasional reflect mob aswell. I'll invest into alchemist pretty soon i think tho. Should have it by lvl 94 or 96 dunno which yet. Choosing between going for Alchemist, Coordination for that attack speed, or more ES now as i've lost almost 500 ES in the respect tnx to all the dropped int and my ES is now 9.5k.

Tree after rearranging the points: www.poeurl.com/bgFF

Also.. how big of an upgrade is going from 11% int to 12% weapons ? And how big of a deal is the difference between 25% and 30% WED rolls ?

TY

Now that's a nice tree. I wouldn't personally be too concerned with the ES nodes, I'm running with less than you and still don't die, although a lot of this is probably playstyle.

The blue dream... 5% more is the same as 5% increased. Say you do 100 points of damage, and you have 5% increased - 105. Added 5%? Also 105. The only difference is that one is Chaos damage, and the other is not. However, 5% damage that ignores ES / Armour isn't that useful, and it's absolutely not useful when we're putting out damage numbers like this build does - mobs still die in a single hit.

11 to 12 weapons are absolutely min/max territory. WED rolls are a bit more important, especially if you're looking at gaining 5% on a single claw. Still, I'd upgrade damn near everything else before I start looking for perfect claws. When it comes to endgame upgrades, I mostly run in cost order - so I'll buy 4 attribute jewels for 1ex before I look for 4ex claws.

Trade your Rumi's for The Wise Oak, and made sure Lightning resist is your highest. This will give you an additional 20% lightning penetration.

Also, drop your mana flask back to a Hallowed. Hallowed uses 4 charges instead of 10, and refills ~350 mana. You probably have less than 300 left unreserved, so the extra 700 mana is just wasted anyway, but with the Hallowed you get 5 uses for 20 kills instead of 4 uses for 40 kills. Ideal roll on the mana flask is saturated and of staunching - fixes bleed, and because it takes longer to refill your mana, you are immune to bleed for longer. Add another mod to your silver flask.

The rest of your gear is pretty damn decent. You should have no problem running uber lab - I did it with less ES and way less tooltip. Admittedly, I've done Izaro literally thousands of times over several leagues, so I might have a small advantage.

On the gear that's just rare, you want high elemental damage and INT rolls. Keep in mind you need to cap your resists using helm, chest, belt, boots and rings for most of us, anyway.

The problem with the Three Rat is plain availability. One with added INT and WED ... well, there seems to be at most 2 available at any time, and there's been plenty of times when there were none.

I'm actually at 11k1 HP and 43k dmg with aura , gmp and golem and i can still easily upgrade for more damage but actually its enough to do ALL content (really) easily including UBER atz,shaper except hall of the grandmasters .

You can cheat... err... I mean, use superior strategy for HoTGM. Slower Projectiles will give you murderous DPS. If you run into one of the guys that out DPSs you up close, switch to faster projectiles and stay at range.
