[3.0] Kurii's Fallacy - Tanky Crit Dark Pact Zerker [Deathless Shaper & Uber Atziri / Clear Speed]

Thank you for the very detailed answer! I gotta say that i didn't even checked the pantheon powers you use as i was focusing on the gear.

The thing is that i asked about Kaom Roots because i had found one with 4% chance to dodge and was thinking to couple that with Rumi's Concotion until i get all the flasks needed, but if you have 24% chance to evade with your gear, i guess i'm messing up :P lol.

BTW you think ice nova would be a good substitute, for dark pact, when running Hall of Grandmasters?

I'm not too sure, but I would think you can. Atziri's Promise would also help (assuming have have less than -37% Chaos Resistance) because there are a few guys that do a lot of small damage fast so it won't count as a savage hit.

Thx for your detailed guide.

this build is so well-balanced. (good DPS and tanky)
my character is current lv93, and has cleared 4 guardians and shaper easily.

Let's talk about gear,
i used Cherrubim, but Carcass is more satisfactory.
of course, Cherrubim has more damage, (according to POB, it gets about more 5~60k DPS)
But i couldn't feel a big difference about DPS,
and Carcass's increased Aoe range and all elemental resistance is more attractive to me.

Anyway, Could you check my build?

i changed skill nodes little a bit.
delete Tireless node and take Cruel Preparation node + 1 Jewel socket
it brings a little bit of DPS improvement at same life (more gets about 30k DPS)
and Dark Pact's mana cost increases from 47 to 55, but i don't feel there is a mana problem.

Thx for reading and please understand my poor english :).

Yeah, the difference between Carcass Jack and Cherrubim's Maleficence isn't that much in terms of damage. Carcass Jack is better for mapping because of the AoE so it feels better. You can use either one and be just fine. I'm currently using Cherrubim's because my resistances are already capped and it gives me more defenses so I don't lose my exp as easily. I use Increased AoE Support and Item Rarity Support when I map so the range doesn't bother me.

Your level 4 Enlighten Support helps a lot with your mana. I'm only using level 3, so I run into some mana problems.

Overall, your gear and skill gems is pretty amazing, and the skill tree alteration is just fine if you don't have any mana problems. It looks good to me.

What would be better if i had the choice of buying?

A 6l carcass or a lvl 21 DP gem, since i cant afford both.
I would tend to a 6l since i can plug in the "added chaos damage" i guess it would make more damage since i can also level up new DP gems.

Also, im lvl 89 right now, what would be better to skill next, "revenge of the hunted" or another jewel slot? i have 6.3k life and around 50k DP dps with the Harbinger buff up.

Buy the 6-link for more damage. Looks like you are already on the right track with leveling a bunch of Dark Pact gems on your secondary. Alternatively, you check check prices on poe.trade; I recommend finding whatever sells for the most and level that to 20/20, then sell it to buy whatever gems you need so you still have currency left over.

Go for the other jewel slot since it gives you both offense and defense. Also 6.3k life is really low for level 89. You should be aiming for over 7k at that point to be able to push higher content without dying.

yeah, i noticed that also, but i cant swap out much items for higher life, since its meta now and the price went up like crazy and im still missing resistances.

Since i have the +2 skillpoints and i swap to alira for mana reg and crit, would it still work without the shaper node? actually i have 36.3 mana reg

Shaper node and Alira helps with reducing staggering when holding down Dark Pact. Staggering reduces your DPS. You don't really get any staggering until you reserve 92% of your mana. You can get a level 4 Enlighten gem to get a bigger mana buffer. This won't prevent staggering, but rather lets you hold down the spell a bit longer.

thanks for the great help, looking forward to start killing guardians with it.
Its just pretty hard to get +1 curse amulet in harbinger and in standard they are even more expensive.
This evening i will be able to buy a 6l Carcass, im really hyped for that.

E: since it seems dsync is still horrible in this game, and lockstep looks like a 1FPS game, whould whirling blade also do the job? it hasnt the AOE range of shield charge, but it doesnt dsync you after every mop pack, my biggest reason why i stay on 89 for over a week now.
