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.

*sigh* ok, then here goes:

You either didn't follow the advice properly or those 'experts' are rather incompetent rather then having proper knowledge.

Your build looks like it's made out of 3 builds botched together in a non-working manner.

First of all why:

You have a Kaom's but you aren't investing HEAVILY into %life to make use of the flat you're getting.

You're going for life-reg in your gloves with the Stone golem, this is for a tank, you're a caster though, it doesn't fit, you're not supposed to tank stuff with your setup, period. Also you're not investing into mods which increase that regen.

You're neither investing heavily in mitigation of damage (armour + maybe a loreweave + flesh and stone + immortal call since steelskin is useless against shaper + basalt flask)

Storm call eats mana like a pro, you're running with Mind over Matter but without Eldritch Battery. This will make you get out of mana easily which lowers your EHP significantly. Clarity does nothing major to alleviate that since Synthesis, VASTLY better options available easily. Like a shaped ring with life on hit for spells instead and using your mana for reservation properly.

You're neither fully investing into evasion, armour or ES, you're also not properly running a hybrid.

Minion Life for your Golem is useless, just re-cast when it dies, better options available for the space.

Storm Call setup for Shaper:
Storm Call - Less duration (to make it work faster) - Concentrated Effect (single-target) - Spell Echo (Extra speed for casting = more dps) - Increased Crit (Because you're running lightning, which scales best with crit) - Added lightning (extra juice).

That's a VASTLY better setup.

You NEVER want to go non-crit with a proper Storm Call setup, the same goes for any lightning-build. Those have such a high disparity in damage for a reason, if you roll high with your hit the multipliers will go out of control... something you won't get without it, taking away the main reason for running it in the first place.

Hence you DON'T want to use Controlled Destruction or Elemental Focus in it, this will LOWER your DPS VASTLY WITHOUT ANY UPSIDES!

Also, why the fuck are you investing into crit-multi if you're running with Controlled Destruction in the first place? This is counter-intuitive. You want to have HIGH chance of crits to deal MAXIMUM damage.

As for defense, 3 viable options:
-High EHP pure-life with vast mitigation
-Low to mid-life with high evasive measures (You'll still die from time to time, not HC-viable) to make up for mistakes.
-High ES-based EHP with EB+MOM or CI.

The ONLY exception for PURE MoM is when your skill DOESN'T USE MANA via reduced mana mods, some can achieve 0 mana casts, Storm Call isn't one of those.

While your enchantment on the helmet is nice it's not necessary. Better stats are more important, since it's mirrored.... buy a better one, it's garbage despite the enchant.

Get rid of Essence Worm, go for a proper Ring Combination, Double Taming for res + damage, a shaped ring for life on spell hits (sustain!), res, flat life, those things.

The unique amulet isn't very good, a non-chaos as extra chaos with life amulet is vastly better, you got 30 ex after all, use them properly.

Boots are ok-ish.

Belt is only res, you can craft ele damage + lightning damage + generic damage + life + 2 res on it best-case. Use a fossil craft and work yourself up there, right now it's simply wasted space.

Your jewel in the belt as 2 useful mods for your build at the moment, upgrade it, crit-multi, life, flat damage or shock-effect.

The jewel 'Sacrificial Harvest' isn't needed, Vaal Storm Call is great, sustain during bossing isn't there though, you have to rely on your 'normal' spell. Hence change it with a proper jewel that gives you damage + life.

You're using a watcher's eye for MoM + EB builds, you don't have a no mana-cost skill, it's bad for you, go for another one... any 20c rare jewel actually is better for your build there sadly. Nice Watcher's in general though!

Why haven't you invested in 'Melding' and 'Written in Blood' or more important 'Constitution'? You're wasting the Kaom's. Which anyways isn't the BiS for your build by far.

Your whole Ascendancy is nearly USELESS for your build. You choose wrong there, plain and simple. Totem builds are builds which DEAL DAMAGE WITH TOTEMS, Decoy totem has only few proper uses, other choices are far more viable.


So, to make it shorter:

You invest heavily in crit-multi while destroying your crit-chance with your gem-setup.

You invest heavily in flat-life at the expense of gem-space while not investing into % life as well.

You're going for a tanky character with a spell-build that's supposed clear screens with the blink of an eye.


Yes... very professional. Stance is the same, worst build I've seen since a LOOOOONG time.
