So Im over 5k alts in to the chest piece and cant manage to hit T1 offering with spell crit.....

I'd take any other affix if I could just regal to those 2 on the chest piece at this point.

Looked at fossil crafting but have the suspicion it would be just as expensive if not more.

Any tips?

Love the build tho!


Don't focus too much on specifics, in this case, spell crit on chest. Get an additional resistance, so you can have one more dmg mod on belt or ring.



Dont have spell crit either but chaos res. Always look at the greater picture.

If you are super into minmaxing, that's ofc another story


I mean, I could definitely settle for a lesser chest piece with only one of the affixes and that would make it simple but whats the point if you are trying to craft the end-game chest piece?
Yes thats what I'm saying with the minmaxing.
But remember there are some new mods you might want, like elusive + tailwind on boots, Flask on crit (just an example). So you might want to open up on a mod on another armour piece which was set as endgame in 3.8.

I'm currently at this point and I had to find a spot for some additional res because some new 3.9 possibilities (mods) are more important to me.

You need to find the sweetspot for dmg/mitigation.

If you don't struggle with making a lot of currency to fund the ultimate endgame combinations of mods, sure go for it.

That is good advice, i'll take that into consideration when rolling the chest!
Hey guys, anyone did manage to kill Sirus with this build on any awakening lvl?

Step 1:
Buy an i84+ Shaped Vaal Regalia

Step 1b:
Optional: use perfect fossils to make it 30% quality. use a Gilded Fossil for memes.

Step 2:
Roll alts for T1 Spell Crit and set it aside. Spell Crit has to be the only shaper mod.

Step 3:
Buy any Hunter Influenced Chest piece with T1 Offering effect as the *only* hunter mod.

Step 4:
Buy awakener orb. +/- 2ex

Step 5:
Click Orb, Click Hunter chest (destroys it), and then click regalia.

Step 6:
Get lucky! But congratualations! You've rolled a chest with those exact two suffixes. All other mods are randomized though...

Step 7:
If you are unhappy with the result and have an open prefix and an open suffix you can wipe prefixes for 2ex with the 'Suffixes cannot be changed' bench craft and scour!

Step 7b:
If you got unlucky and have no open slots and the mods are all horrific, try annuling or just selling the piece as is and go back to step 1

Step 8:
Follow this up with an Exalt (or Leo) slam for a prefix (make sure to block the open suffix) and multimod.

Step 9:
Double Corrupt :D


Steps 1->6 will cost you about 3-4ex per attempt and the prefix wiping, Slamming, and multimodding process is minimum 5ex. +3ex per prefix wipe n slam if you're picky. But that's a A LOT cheaper than trying to hit those two affixes with fossils and a lot more satisfying as you can actually SEE the mods! :D

The only real downside to this is that you CAN get both mods on a hunter base and means that you lose out on some potentially fun combos with other influence types...But totally worth it.

Hope this wasn't too hard to follow.

I feel like I'm super weak for my level, up to t15 maps I can do OK. Any blighted map t13+ absolutely destroys me for whatever reason. Am I missing something :\

You have zero extra ES or Life recovery and it's probably killing you.

Life flask of course will suffice for most things and Bone Offering will help as well.

I cannot stress enough how strong ES on hit is. HOWEVER you can also try taking Ghost Reaver for 2 points and Light Eater for 3 to give you 24% of max ES Leech cap. This will probably feel really good. If you have 4k ES that's ~1k ES per second. Good stuff.

You have some pathing mishaps in the witch start that could be fixed (looks like you're working on that)

As much as I say "fill out life+ES+etc..." Get your Crit damage nodes. You may be lacking in damage for higher tier blighted maps.

Also use towers to help keep things tamed if you are not already. Just because the build can do it without towers...doesn't mean you should. :P

I use Glacial Cages, Stone gaze towers, and Flamethrowers primarily. Chokepoints are your friend and slowing thing helps substantially.


of course, Fenumus Spinnerets and Aspect of the Spider are good for ES on hit on a budget, but it looks like you might need battle rouse from your boots.
