Hi MoosGames, I wanted first to thank you with this build. This is my first time playing these kind of games and as first character I wanted to make this build.
I already read all your FAQs, read online guides about crafting, etc... I am waiting to drop ilvl 83+ items before crafting (I'm still making T6-7 maps to completing the Atlas).

Could you take a look to my char by any chance? I am trying to find cheap chests with -15 mana cost to attacks plus flat/% life increase but they are expensive for me (I just have 2ex, 200ch and the cinderswallow urn 4.3ex), but for now I have only 3k life.

What can I improve?

Thanks!

Not Moos, but here's what you can do:

First, Read the previous comments and give us the PoB link to you character. We can't see anything from you right now.

Take all life nodes before dmg as well as buying 6-7% life jewels. I found a cheap armor 6L on trade with life and mana cost for 2-3ex. You can craft %life %mana line.

Thank you for your help!

This is my paste bin: https://pastebin.com/gdmBwaz5

I'm missing just a pair or life nodes if I see correctly.

I will take a look on the armors on sell, thank you!!

First of all, thank you for this build, I've had a lot of fun with it this league so far. 10 days with just this char says a lot :D

Then again, I reached level 94 and I can't progress any further level-wise, which is fine by me. But my issue however is that my hit rate is at 96% for normal mobs and 90% for evasive ones. Is that fine or should I drop 3 crit nodes in favour of the accuracy ones? I feel like crit isn't that important in this build, but correct me if I'm wrong. Also I can't see how you get life above 5,7k. I choose a few more life nodes on the tree than your build suggests and I'm still below that value.

I can't generate a PoB since I get an error, but my characters are public if you wouldn't mind having a quick glance :)

Alright so a few things to note:

I utilize the new cluster jewels, I feel like they are too strong to ignore. But if you're new and don't wish to take that risk you can either import my build: https://pastebin.com/NfXRBx0a

Or, some suggestions for your current one:
* You can afford to drop damage line on jewels. Get 7% life on ALL of them.
* Your Belt, Rings, Boots, Helm, and even Amulet are quite low life rolls. You need higher life. Taking life nodes on the tree doesn't do much if you don't have the flat life to scale with in the first place. Generally speaking, 112% life from tree is very paltry. Level up, drop damage nodes (The last jewel near witch area is a good one to drop, too many passives for 1 jewel), and put more into life.

Thank you for your suggestions. Now I can handle t13-14 maps! (Except Baran that oneshots me rotfl)
I wanted to ask another question: how did you obtain your armor? I tried to alteration spam a warlord influenced zodiac leather but I get the socketed attacks mod only one every 250 alts.

Fairly end game crafting method provided you have enough currency to do it. Specifically, if you only want socketed attacks have -15 mana, you just alt spam until you have it, regal, and exalt for 6 mods or multimod.

This is quite wasteful of course. Here's how to craft my armor:

To get mana cost, you know you need a Warlord influence. However, to get crit chance to attacks (literally a bottled faith), the armor needs to be elder influenced. This means we need a doubled influence dex armor, preferably assassins garb.

You'll need 30+ exalts for this:

Grab the appropriate Base armor with correct influence and ilvl. Preferably assassins garb obv. Buy a cheap one.

Second, buy any armor, be it str hybrid int or dex base. Doesn't matter. All it needs to have is the other influence you didn't buy (meaning if you bought assassin garb warlord, buy any elder influenced body) with correct ilvl, because how else are you gonna roll that influence mod?

Next, alt & transmute spam each base until you have only 1 influenced mod each. It can have any number of mods but may NOT have multiple influenced lines!! Check craftofexile to double check if your rolled mods are influenced or not.

Next, once both items have the 2 influenced mods (1ea), you will need to use an awakener orb to combine the influences. Sacrifice the garbage base into the good assassin garb base. This method guarantees you 2 influence lines. It also turns the resulting item rare. An awakener orb transfers 1 influence mod (if available, and will randomly pick 1 of there are multiple) and the influence to target item, reroll to rare. The initial item that got transfered is destroyed.

Now you must hope you have an open prefix. Because both influence mods are suffixes, we need to craft a prefix mastermod "suffixes cannot be changed". Yes, you might get a bad 3rd suffix but who cares. It's res or not stellar mods otherwise. We want to reroll prefixes for life. High life.

So, after getting lucky with an open prefix (if you didn't you can redo the entire process! Don't risk annul!) and crafting mastermod suffix cannot be changed, your last step is to exalt slam 2 prefixes. If the first one isn't garbage you can attempt a 2nd prefix roll for high life. If not, scour the item and recraft mastermod suffix cannot be changed before exalt slamming again. Repeat as many times until you get the desired prefixes (T1 life). I say this so as to avoid accidentally slamming 3 times and losing that open prefix. Good luck.
