@Enki91 or anyone else that is good with arc stuff. any recommendations on my build on what to upgrade next or change? not having problems really. being able to beat the Shaper rather fast and working on uber elder right now but im not sure if i should go into uber elder blind or not.

You need Kaom's root's for uber elder fight. It's gonna be very hard to get more cold res because you have so much of it on your boots =\ Probably get another belt, maybe jewels with HP cold res on it. Fight uber elder without Kaom's is not a pleasant experience
And read the description of Enki's uber elder youtube video

You probably have just enough dps to kill him, you can try. But you probably should craft another daggers
Two daggers like that almost doubles your DPS, it's like 5-6ex to craft one.

Spoiler

p.s. you don't have any source of cold damage in your build - hypothermia is a lot worse for you

And another thing. Don't tunnel vision your characted during uber elder fight, try to see what's going on around the whole battlefield. And your first priority should be those "squids" that poops degen ground if you leave them alive long enough - kill them ASAP

I have never fought uber ulder, I am assuming he has debuff that lowers your attack/cast speed then. I will read up for sure. And yeah, my boots have a lot of res on them...

Thanks for the crafting info, my daggers are pretty meh. I could probably afford to craft one right now, but that's it.

In regards to cold damage I thought I did? But I could be mistaken. Does the cold damage to spells on this item not work for Hypothermia?



EDIT: Oops, I totally thought this was a reply to my post, but it was not... haha

I'm pretty sure you are good on cold damage on that weapon, however, the craft is useless, it does not add lightning damage to the build


Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you can check if you have cold damage in arc if you go to your Character panel ("c"), select the Arc, and see if it lists "Cold damage" in there

@Viruxs
Your gear is pretty good and skill choices look ok for your level.
Your skill gems are a mess, need to look at the gem section in the guide.
arcane surge doesn't go in your arc link and it is over leveled.
Put your extra arc gems you are leveling in junky weapons and put them in second weapon tab
Need to reroll colors and links on helm and weapons and put proper gems in them. Don't over level the ones mention in gem section. when you get to proper level right click instead of left to get it off your ui.

Once you get that done you should have an easy time till you get to the higher 80's

What are my next upgrades? (other than flask, so far I'm using a more defensive setup as my dps is fine for now, I will switch to sulphur soon)

Should I find a way to get more Lightning resist to get Wise Oak, or should I save some currency to get Watcher's Eye? I'm not that far from purchasing it

Ah your right, good point. That dagger is shit, I will work on upgrading it =)

And in regards to checking if you have cold damage, that is what I was doing to verify, but not sure if it was the right way...

@ikaaa

I don't think shaper ring is recommended until you have a elder ring in the other slot. Also have some wasted stuff on the gloves.

But really looks like you are set to upgrade to the crafted daggers

His Essense Worm is Elder

It has come to my realization that my daggers suck...

In regards to this crafting guide, https://imgur.com/0PTn8sW what can I use for a base? So I know I need a iLvl 86 shaped item and the guide says to use a platinum dagger or sai dagger, but those are quite expensive. He says any other will do, what are the downsides of buying a gutting knife or something like this and scouring it?

Question about Pantheon.
Isn't it Brine King is better than Solaris for mapping ? I get stunned to death without Brine King.

I really have issue dealing with "master/Syndicate" at the moment, they tend to one shot / adds off-screen killing me. It's really annoying, how do you guys deal with them ?

What about dropping dual wield and use one H + shield instead ?

Thanks

(1) Replace your L20 Vaal Arc with a L21 Arc. You don't have to deal with the clunkiness of the Vaal skill, and it's an overall dps increase.
(2) Swap your Decoy Totem and Flame Dash. Decoy Totem benefits from Fortify and Flame Dash doesn't change.
(3) Consider a L21 lightning golem
(4) Replace mana flask. Mana leech gem should be sufficient. Get watcher's eye and replace both (ideal).
(5) Consider replacing gloves with elder/shaper. Consider replacing amulet.

Those are not in any particular order, just the order I noticed. If you are close to purchasing a watcher's eye, get that first then focus on purchasing other upgrades.

---------------------------------

Consider altering gem combinations. This build is great for starter, but not as strong for an "ender." Keep in mind even though Enki currently is playing with different gem combinations, all videos are performed with the exact specifications of the build, meaning all content is doable as is.

CWDT (7) with Enfeeble (10) for example can be replaced with a manual cast Enfeeble or CoH + Enfeeble, allowing for maximum level curses. Likewise, a Lightning Spire setup can be a great source of boss damage. Arcane Surge can be linked to alternative sources to allow for a high gem. These of course are not part of the default build, but many well-geared, high-end players will tweak builds to support individual playstyles, gear, and content being played.
