Hey Wrecker. Just wanted to drop a line with an update. I just did t15 Zana mission and got the option from her to run a rare, corrupted, shaper influenced, unidentified t16 map called pit of the chimera or something like that.

Anyhow, I never would have had the confidence or ability to do this without you build and guidance. So, I thank you once again. I one shotted everything in the map. It was a cool feeling.

I'm really loving Harvest. It's a SSF dream come true imho. If they bring it into standard, I will likely play SSF in standard. So much fun to craft gg items.

Edit: Took a break for dinner. Came back and did another Zana t15 mission. Thus time I was given a t16 death and taxes. As soon as I posted in, I recognized it from your video. So cool. I rewatched and cleared him.

ANOTHER EDIT: any tips for Sirus? I've never gotten this far into endgame and as such have never faced him or any other bosses like this. I heard he dies chaos damage. Due to constant min/max attempts in harvest, my chaos resist is only 73% atm. Do I need to wait until I reroll it higher than 75% ?

One more EDIT: help with vaal temple? It's my last map I need to complete for atlas bonus completion (other than uniques). The damage output of the trio is enormous. I googled and watched videos ... but as usual, the videos are of ranged who can easily avoid the damage. Show me some melee video !!!

Hey, was told about your builds and thought they sounded like the perfect thing. I've managed to take this build all the way up to T16 without too much trouble and it has been very fun, though I am seeing a big lack of damage that has made Drox and Sirus in particular completely impossible to do solo. I know that there are some ways I can improve damage, but probably am only going to get the chance to work at one or two items more before the end of the league and would like your opinion on what will likely be easiest. It seems like I would need to double or more my damage output vs enemies that don't hit me a bunch, which leaves few options as far as I can tell.

In addition to what I'm wearing, I am currently working on a hunter-influenced belt that I only need an augment physical to get overwhelm on, so that should help. I've been using every physical reroll I get to try and make a better axe, but so far have not gotten better than tier 3. For the rings, I haven't gotten any to drop so I might end up just buying one and rolling it myself if necessary.

Hey Laserrobotics! Thanks for the kind words and the honest reply! I'm glad you're enjoying the build. Sirus A8 and Drox A8 (the final stage) are a little slow with this build. Drox's defence really ramps up in his last stage and Sirus gets no "adds" in his fight at all. So lame. The fights are doable for sure but they do take time compared to the other battles we face getting there. I checked out your gear and am really impressed! You have some awesome stuff! I'm surprised that it's not going well in those battles. I'm not sure what the issue would be as your gear is better than mine for sure. The issue isn't you at all. You seem to have done everything to the "T".

So in regards to your gear, as mentioned, it's awesome! The upgrades you mentioned are what I would suggest as well. The Steel Rings and the Hunter belt are good options for sure. You've already added Vulnerability, you've 20/20'd almost all of your gems, you're 6 linked, you have Spiked gloves...So all the upgrades you mentioned will obviously help but they don't make HUGE impacts on the build. They will obviously help, but they won't obliterate a battle you feel is currently impossible. As I said, your intended upgrades are great ideas. There are also some nice offensive influenced shields that give some nice offence (like Shocking on block).

I'm sorry that I don't really have an answer for you. Everything seems to be great and better than my gear. I can't really see an issue. I know there are certain battles (like Sirus) that take longer because we don't block often but non-of them are near the impossible stage for me.

I'll try to figure out what's happening for you.

For Sirus I'm sure that a decent portion of it is me just not knowing the tells (I've only ever been to the fight all of once prior to this league), but the amount of damage I was able to do to him before the first death was almost not even visible, and that was on A0. It's possible my expectations aren't quite right, though - could you provide a rough estimate of how long you would take to get him down using this build? Not expecting less than a minute, but is it like 5 minutes, 10, more?

For Drox, it's more that I simply can't put out enough DPS to keep the banners down for more than a few seconds before he puts more out, so he's invincible for the majority of the fight - and it only takes a few mistakes with dodging those giant fists to brick it, since they seem to be one-shots if I'm unlucky and don't block them.

Overall though I am thoroughly satisfied with the build, seeing as how (with the exception of getting others to do Drox for me post AL3) I've gotten to AL5 without spending more than a single ex on buying the 6L base for my chest armor.

The shock on block modifier is an interesting tip, though I'm not sure I can afford to lose the life recovery on block so I suppose I'll file that away for the potential double-influence shield in the future.

I found "Le Heup Of All", "Carnage Heart" and "The Deep One's Hide" to be very useful and cheap uniques to pick up when you're running this build. You might want to drop "The Deep One's Hide" after you find a decent shield tho as it offers only little protection.

Hello good sir
I have a question about the build. Will it be too bad if i change the ascend tree like this

http://prntscr.com/tk2mjg
"Bleed stuff instead of some more block and challenger thing"
I dont like to switch stances on the go so challenger is wasted points for me. I dont know if it'll be too bad to lose the extra block rate / damage tho.
