Playing a modified version of this build. Been loving it so far, almost hitting 93 in Legacy Hardcore. I am sitting at 12.5k es currenty. Going to buy voidwalkers soon. If you're interested in my skill tree, my character page is open. Thinking about doing guardians. How does this build fair up against each guardian?

My current gear :

Hi all and hi Ramona,
i have an unusual question because i think i'm missing some really important Informations
or mechanics concerning CI/ED. i try to get myself to maps lvl 10+ but i have 2 bigger Problems:

1. i think my ES is to low, with my 7500 ES i get 1-shottet sometimes.
2. i think my damage with 4500 tooltip-dps is to low.

the Problem i have is that i dont know why and how get rid of These 2 things.

maybe someone can help me and is able to explain me some of my mistakes. i don't know if my Problems are gear- or skilltreewise.

thx in regard and good Drops for all of u

Hey again Romana,

I've made some substantial changes to my tree and gear and am pretty happy with the results. I'm much tankier; even though I have slightly less ES. The potion effectiveness along with curse effectiveness have improved my character dramatically.

My damage has also gone up quite a bit after swapping in slower projectiles and putting in a level 2 empower. I'm sitting at just under 18k right now unbuffed. I'm still working on getting Elreon 7 so I can remove the spell damage roll on my dagger and roll the higher tier.

I've also removed the need almost entirely to spec into strength. I've removed increased duration and de-leveled my fortify. I think this was just what I needed to do to really be able to fit the character within my budget.

Here's my character's gear & skill tree.

Again, I really appreciate you personally coming and helping me with my build, it helped a lot and it really pointed me in the right direction.

Hi Ramona,

i wonder why you prefer Empower over Slower Projectiles in a 6 Link? Or dont you?

Unlike all the other support gems Empower doesent boost Decay and therefore in total is even worse than Pierce (even a lvl 3 one). On the other hand Slower Projectiles is a huge push to both ED and Decay.

How to get 4 green Sockets on a Vaal Regalia is different story. :)

Hi RabzH,

since we are using Decay and not spamming ED like in a poison based build, 12% Damage over time nodes are better than 10% Spell damage ones. There are 2 next to Growth and Decay.

You could improve your single target damage by using Faster Casting with your Wither Spell Totem (atm you have 2x Wither). More stacks of Wither earlier means more damage earlier and 140% increased chaos damage on 20 stacks is alot.
