coc fire shadow /infernal mantle

hej this is my current gear on my coc fire shadow


some is crappy ofc but iam quiet poor so its okay for me ;)
iam lvl 62 and everything is in progress feel free to drop some ideas

dmg is quiet nice but i have troubles stayin alive i propably skilled pretty bad but maybe some of you wanna help me ;)

passive
everything here is in progress but i could need some advice how to get tanky (shall i go for iron reflexes/es/mind over matter ....?)

I have a lot of fun with this build and you're inevitably going to be squishy, but...

I think your defenses are too spread out. You have Rainbowstride but no block nodes and missing Unnatural Calm and resist/life nodes.

Either go for high life + Acrobatics, or high ES + life, or CI + Ghost Reaver, IMO.

ES and Acrobatics don't play very well together because you only get half your ES bonus.

And Ghost Reaver will keep your ES up but you need either CI or high life and Chaos resist.

Also get tankier gloves. You'll already do enough spell damage.

thanks for that ...
atm i try to go for high life + es without acrobatics
also try another helm for res

and also try for a bit block


if u have any ideas just drop them ;)

Edit: After a long hard look at your build and gear, not being certain if something constructive could be said, I can only conclude that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark.

Edit 2: The only bit of friendly advice I could give you is to start playing in a new league from scratch and to play without any trading. Accept the fact that it won't be easy and you'll probably have to reroll a number of times and you'll be amazed at the amount of fun and adventure you'll have in the long term. Not to mention that it will do wonders for your knowledge and understanding of the game.

thanks for that ...
nvm i just wanna try this game and yes i trade and stuff but thats also part of the game which can also be funny .. as i said i know i am not the best player and i know some things dont fit together but i simply droped this build to get some ideas and advice ...to learn..
and thanks for no info :) have a nice one

If we assume that you play for fun and enjoyment, I actually gave you some pretty important info. I can't think of better advice than what I suggested. Your current approach to the game is one hundred percent guaranteed to kill any enjoyment or appreciation and to disable your learning curve. What is easily obtained is not valued.

Whether or not you follow this advice is entirely up to you, of course.

edit: to illustrate my point, I was recently offered a free surgeon's jade flask of reflexes and refused to accept it without giving 5 chaos in return. This is still below current market value, but it's at least something and it was 50% of all my chaos orbs at the time. What are the results from that decision?

a) the very nice guy who offered it probably thinks I'm a nutjob

b) I still don't have it cause it turned out we were in different leagues, but when I do get my jade flask, I will feel good and I'll be very fond of it for some time.

It's all about the little things ;)

good that u think i dont have fun playing this game ... i do play this game for fun ;) and this cast on crit thing is pretty funny and u can try alot of stuff with it .
but nvm ur critics are welcome

what u write about the little things is true for sure and i also never have a clue whats the price of an item i give what they want me to give i never have much currency or stuff i buy items for all my currency all the time wich i dont really need i just wanna try them ... so is this build i found a infernal mantle read 100% crit some fire stuff , hej this could make a funny build so i try it ..

Okay, since we're getting a skill reset in about a week, let's see if we can salvage your build and make you less squishy.


I left you some points to play around with. The downside of Infernal Mantle is you need to keep your mana above 35% or you take double damage. You can either do this via Soul Siphon or Mind Drinker. The other way to go about it is to get max resists or Ghost Reaver to keep your ES full and just try to face tank your way through the damage via Life Leech.

Looking at your socket colors and gem set-up, here's what I would do instead:

5-Link Primary Attack:
Spectral Throw + GMP + CoC + Fireball + either Increased Crit Chance or Power Charge on Crit
4-Link Secondary Attack: Firestorm + Curse on Hit + Elemental Proliferation + your favorite curse

Things that help with survivability if you're getting killed by reflect:
Arctic Armor (reduces physical and fire damage taken per hit)
Enduring Cry (increases your armor and resistances)

If you're getting killed by monsters:
Cast When Stunned and/or Cast on Damage Taken:
Decoy Totem (keeps things away from you)
Temporal Chains and/or Enfeeble

thanks will try the power charge on crit in 5l

and i changed my skill tree a bit i try to go for es+life


atm it works quiet good also tried with dagger+shield i loose a bit crit chance but is still okay and i get a lot more es atm have 3k es and 1-2k life

That looks a lot better. You still have a few wasted points but that can wait until the skill reset.
