The crisis of the POE game

Therу are two way to kill the shaper

1. Improve your tactics
2. Accumulate big amount of currency to buy exta powerful and expenvive gear

I already improved my tactics many times as good as it is possible for my reflexes
But i couldn't kill the shaper
Then i decided to accumulate big ammount of currency
Yes , - i did it - 30 exalted orbs!
I began to search for expensive and powerful gear and POE has failed in it.
POE can't offer me powerful gear for 30 exalted orb to kill the shaper

I didn't find any powerful gear for my life build - there is no such gear!!!!

My playing stops - Limitation is reached

I cant progress further

Can i improve my life build or GGG failed?

Your helmet is garbage.

Your 6L-setup for Storm-Call is more then sub-par.

Use proper rings, you don't need an Essence Worm in your build, it's detrimental.

Your amulet is garbage.

Your Life-flask is garbage.

Why a Rumi's? You're not a block-char.

Lavianga's isn't needed, take a useful flask, like Atziri.

Why the evasion-flask? You're not evasion-built.

Why Kaom's? You're not fire-based and you can get better defense/offense combinations otherwise.

Why are you using lightning-warp rather then flame-dash? (It has been fixed yesterday).

Where is your defensive-gem setup? No immortal call, no flesh and stone, only enfeeble (which doesn't work as well on shaper)

Why decoy-totem? Use a power-charge generation, storm-call is meant to be a crit-based skill because of the lightning-damage.

Your passive-tree is an utter disaster.
Take away 'Dynamo'
Take away 'Arsonist'
Take away 'Combat Stamina'
Take away 'Blunt Trauma', you're not attacking, you're using spells, it doesn't do shit for you.
Your 'Watcher's Eye' is garbage sadly, you don't have the setup for proper MoM, remove that as well unless you want to go with 'Eldritch Battery' to properly increase your EHP and sustain mana for reliable casting.
Why 'Precision'? Away with that.
Remove the redundant connections, those are wasted points.
Remove the Jewel-slot at the Scion, too many points invested to get there.

Now...
Take 'Heart of Thunder'
As well as 'Crackling Speed' and 'Arcing Blows' for more crit-multi and effect of shock and penetration (which you should focus on a lot more).
Take the HUUUUGE Cluster at 'Constituion' for life... which you've conveniently ignored.

And the biggest questions:

Why the fuck are you going with Templer totems without totems?
Why are you going for Arcane Surge without investing into it?

Actually... in hind-sight... re-make the whole character, it's the worst one I've EVER seen.

Listening to you people can make a false conclusion that i am full idiot coz i "have made so tremendous amount of mistakes"

You didn't understand even one reason why i use this node or that gear.

All aspects of my build were considered many times by POE experts.

After many adjustments my build is very good.

All your advices are fool, i reject all of them.

Dude, I killed Shaper with like 200k DPS on a squishy character - and you wanna know how I did it? Knowing the fight and knowing what to do.

Your gear still is not optimal and your setup is weird. Listen to the other guy, he also knows what's up.

Especially using Decoy Totem with Multi Totem Support looks like a beginner's mistake.

The more I look at your gear and passive tree, the more I am convinced that you should read up more guides and learn from them instead of telling people to fuck off only because you don't share the same opinion. That's my 2 cents to you.

Edit: reading back through your original post only leads to one conclusion: you're blaming the game instead of yourself. Maybe take some advice instead of shouting at GGG. This is your own fault.

ymmd rofl

take the advice above and delete this character ...

Although other guys don´t understand whole story behind your character some of their points are valid.

The problem is you´re changing your build all the time (gear, ascendancy, crit/no crit) but gear should fit the build.

I see you have removed lots of life points and invested them to damage and changed build to crit version.

Inquisitor would be far better for critical based build (unless you want to play totems).

You have a bit under 7K ehp (combined life and MoM) but that´s significantly less than before.
Well I think you should consider switching to pure life build with 7-8K life, drop all mana nodes and gear related to MoM and mana.
You can invest saved passives to life and damage then.

You can invest remaining points to block if you really want but your old staff was better for that and you can´t reach more than 40-50% block and maybe 25% spell block with the current staff and heavy investment which is not worth imo (except Counterweight maybe).
You need to dodge attacks from Shaper anyway.

I have made crit life version of your build (haven´t changed gear just took Inquisitor and lighting penetration gem). It´s for level 100 but two jewel sockets are free so you can remove them or drop some minor damage nodes etc.

7K life 350k shaper dps (540k normal) with lots of room for improvement (just PC, Wrath and Diamond flask active).

Take a look and it´s up to you
Gl:)

With that level of investemt 350k (even 500k) is poopy DPS, especially when you play Standard league where good gear is easy to come by.

Yes I am not talking about investment but I get that just by changing some basic stuff and tree while keeping good ehp.
He has plenty of room to min/maxing no doubt.

Crit amulet/rings, lvl 21 gem, jewels, -res helm with enchant and things like that.

Off the top of my head I made a Level 91 tree for Inquisitor with 1,000,000 DPS and 5.8k Life (which is enough if you are not slow as fuck).

Just learn from the guys who know this game and played it plenty more. Stop throwing tantrums for failing. That's part of the learning process.

EDIT: Just thought I'd mention: didn't tick shock, ticked Shaper instead. ;-)

Although your changes has some good ideas it´s not comparable to mine bcos of different gearing.

There are still plenty of room for min/maxing
I made some gear changes (it´s rather glass canon now but getting more life is not a problem) and reached over triple his amount (around 3.5 mil shaper dps*) and still not the end … (there is legacy gear, expensive watchers eye etc).

* just note that VRF (can´t have all the time)

It just shows that gear is the most important part of the endgame building but you need good knowledge of the game with all the nuances which is not really easy for new / less knowledgeable players.
I think OP should have good ideas how to improve build now.
