Hi all,

I am a new player, playing my first league ever and only have absolute casual experience from years ago. I returned to do a more organized start and having fun, but now it seems that I get a bit lost.

I am currently clearing up to T10 maps and most of the time this works out fine. But I often come to bosses or bigger monster packs, where I simply get oneshot or get so much damage, that I can only run. Not talking about dodgeable stuff (although I know I could do a better job there as well...).

So I have two questions:

1. Am I missing something essential why I get so much damage, particularly from bosses or am I simply playing badly? My resists are capped, I have about 5.5k life, but my armor seems a bit low and I am still missing the last two ascendancy points. So maybe someone could have a look and give me some directions? That would be awesome :)

2. Speaking about the last two ascendancy points, I am interested in tackling the uber lab soon, completed all trials and saved some offerings, but with the "squishyness" I am feeling, I have great doubts if I even have a chance completing it. So any recommendation, when to do it and what I would absolutely need?


Thanks in advance!

p.s. My budget to buy items is rather limited. I have about 100c to invest and need to be reasonable with upgrades...

Hezmana's work for every attack skills instead of it being socketed to the weapon, so you can swap your blood magic in cyclone setup for other gem.

Hey, I'm fairly new to this game and I'm following your build. I just got one question, if you're going 3 auras (or 2 50% mana auras) isn't it better to get the Blood Magic Keystone rather than using a link in every item to get the Blood Magic gem?

----

Ok, I found out why.

"Skills that reserve mana will reserve life. The cost of skills is calculated normally, so reduced mana cost or reduced mana reservation modifiers will reduce the amount of life used. It is not possible to commit suicide through Blood Magic."

I've got the same problem. Some bosses/monsters can oneshot me and I don't know what should I do. Now I got something about 16k armor, 5k life and all elemental resists on 75%. I can't afford on anything more expensive ;/ Some tips from u guys?
I'm using stone golem, mayby flame would be better? Invest in 20 quality gems or gemcutters?

Has anyone downed guardians/shaper with this build yet in Harbinger league? If so, can you share your tree and gear? I'm feeling like this build is going to be too squishy.

I haven't played since Shaper was introduced, so I'm trying the T16 maps for the first time this league.

I've managed to kill all the guardians several times and run T15 with no problems apart from some bosses. I feel kinda squishy though, can't roll any super hard mods on the guardians and die quite a few times. Still, once you run the maps a few times and learn the patterns and attacks of the guardians, they become much easier. Will try Shaper once I muster some courage.

At level 93 atm, sitting at 7.4k hp. Still find myself quite easily one-shotted at times. Think having 7k+ life is absolute minimum for the higher tier maps. Thinking of switching over to a 6l Belly when I can, see if that improves things.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but with a CWDT setup, what levels do the gems have to be?

Could someone help me explain what is the big difference of this build for this one? Https://pastebin.com/T6w8j5ca
Thanks!
