LVL 90 cant level up anymore, need help

hi exiles

i have trouble to level up my lvl 90 Juggernaut
i run T10/T11 maps and die too often.

after 2 days of running aproximate 20 maps im at 0%
i already bypass the regular map boss to reduce the risk of dying, but every now and then i get killed by either a random prophecy rare or some 3 star syndicates.
(i dont want to screw the sydicate b/c i wanna raid them)


so what can i do to gain exp consistently to rank up?

Block syndicate and forget such thing exist. Now you will be able to reach lvl 95 w/o much problems.

Okay, I'll bite.

How about you stop dying? Makes leveling a lot easier.

Skills:
- get rid of Immortal call - you are Juggernaut, you don't need it;
- Dread Banner. Why?
- remove Stone Golem. Golems are killing you;
- use Blood Rage;

Items:
- get rid of your boots, equip Kaom's roots instead (corrupted with "+1 max endurance charges" will be best option);
- replace helmet with fossil-crafted "nearby enemies take 9% increased fire damage" and high life;
- your body armour is awful - it is a complete waste. Best option will be Loreweave;

Flasks:
- flasks with immunity to curses and shock are mandatory;
- why you need 2 flasks with bleed immunity?
- you should use Forbidden Taste instead of Blood of the Karui;

Passive tree in not optimized:
- you allocated 2 points only for "Diamond skin" (1 passive wasted);
- extra "Life leech" passive in "Vitality Void" cluster (1 passive wasted);
- jewel socket cluster under "Lava Lash" (1 passive wasted);
- allocate "Iron Grip" - you are using Molten Strike for god sake;
- get rid of "Bone Breaker" cluster - it is not worth it;
- "Expertise" (+30 dex) is 1 passive wasted;

Get more life on your tree and jewels.

In short:
Git better gear
Git better build
GIT GUD.

(or lock syndicate and you will be fine w/o any of those)

Mostly agree, but +30 Dex from 1 node is massive. Diamond Skin is ok, though Cloth and Chain is just better. When you don't have better gear these are best options.

You should get Elemental Overload instead of Resolute Teachnique and spec into Undeniable instead of Unyielding.

Get Dying Sun. Though it's worth about Exalt. It's 100% worth it.

You use suboptimal gems for MS. Swap Endurance Charge on Melee Stun - Combustion and Fire Penetration for Elemental Damage with Attack Skills - Ancestral Call - Elemental Focus. Fast Attacks is fine, but when people want the most damage they use Concetrated Effect.

Atziri's Promise gives you no damage, because you have Avatar of Fire.

What are your mana reservations? Do you just use 2 Heralds and have 50% free mana? Do you have 2 curses on CWDT? You can use low level Enfeeble on CWDT for defense boost.

Loreweave (with 80% maximum resistances), Wise Oak (you will need to balance your resistances a bit around it though) and Dying Sun will greatly help with defense. Curse / Shock immunity are really good too.

I really like my setup (belt, helmet and amulet as well as Tombfist still 1S will change though). You can check my Thicc_Molten_Boy character for reference.

Forbidden Taste - Dying Sun - Wise Oak - Sulphur flask of Warding - Onslaught flask of Grounding would probably be best flask setup.

You can ask me any questions. Best way to stay alive is know what is gonna hurt and avoid it, even on THICC Jugg.

In case you're wondering how to lock the syndicate...next time you see a research lab, don't enter it. Every map from then on will have the research lab, you can effectively not encounter any syndicate enemies.

at the beginning i had that setup, but since my crit chance was around 6.3% an other supporter suggestet it isnt worth it and would be better to get the perma dps boost with RT

atm its not in my budget but i will consider it for the future. but in regard of the 2 extra projectiles... i never understood the benefit. i use wildfire for an extra projectile but the damage increase is very litte. i could ramp up 2,5x more with a gem. or is that only an incorrect display in the offence tab?

thats what i dont understand.
why shall i swap fire pen, when thats my insurance vs high fire resi bosses?
i was told to get this -9 fire resi for nearby enemies helmet.
so why not add another -36 fire resi from that gem? sounds reasonable

50% for ash and purity. yes, two curses
enfeeble, blood rage and poachers mark for some frenzy charges

You can ask me any questions.

thank you very much, i appreciate it a lot
even playing my 2rd char, the game gives me riddles all the time. but i love it!

one big question matters my mind for a long time.
since i get +36% resi from my charges, couldnt i just stop at 39% and use the gems for life or damage instead?
