[3.1]Abyssal Wander Deathless Shaper & HOGM Videos

equalized resists for wise oak & 5.55k life 36%
dodge 18% block

The good part of the build is since we are capping resists only with +all resistanc% affixes from items and jewels it's really easy to use wise oak at it's maximum potential
this will bring 13% more durability vs elemental damage and around 20% more penetration(more damage)

Completely basing the damage output to the coming #-# flat damage from jewels. So this chest can grant almost as good life as belly of the beast and mana like Cloak of Defiance.

since the jewels are the main dps source of this build, the unique wand which gets benefit from +flat damage most is chosen.

To be able to stack as much as jewels as possible into our build wew use 2 socketed abyss items
You can start using 1 socketed ones and as you get more chaos orbs in your stash you can ugrade your items to the 2 socketed ones.

not needed at all, it's expensive item and it's just makes aligning all the resists to each other much easier. Until igot my pair of abyssal boots i was using,
just cap your resists you know.

don't forget to link a murderous eye jewel here to get 10% more damage(intimidation mechanic)

assuming you can't get dying sun early in the league, use GMP gem instead of slower projectiles. since barrage has 4 projectiles as base, adding 4 more but cutting 25% damage would bring 50% more damage like elemental focus gem.

Rings.
just slam some shrieking essence of torment on opal ring bases, essences are 2c each, and i takes 5-6 tries max to get something good. for 15-20c you can get good jewels with decent dps roll. same for amulets. this is a starter solution, as you get more currency aim for %all resists rings which has flat damage + accuracy if possible and high life.

your 6th link is 37% global elemental penetration and this chest grants physical damage immunity for 3 seconds which has 45 seconds cd. that's amazing. The chance that immunity can get triggered is 20% for each of your attacks.

to be able to have capped resists and high life pool, i link my life & resist jewels here.


this is a luxury to be able to run wrath & anger together. It's a great solution. But not necessary to make build work.



my jewels:



some are far from being good as you can see. i'll try to get more accuracy from my jewels. i have 2600 atm.

KB goes here
Barrage Setup
wrath anger setup, if you don't have such shield, Wrath + ice for map clearing wrath + thunder for bosses.
CoH + assasin's mark if you want power charges(you'll generate charges as you kill with the gem embedded inside of the helmet) vaal haste + duration if you are okay without charges.
ice golem + phase run(good for mobility)

cwdt + immortal call is recommended. vaal haste + duration may come here if you are using assasins mark + coh setup at the helmet.

obviously we are using vaal pact to be able to handle

Forces of Nature
Primeval Force
and Arcing Blows for penetration(remember that bosses have 40% all resists)

Assasination
ThroatSeeker
Heart Seeker for crit damage scaling



tree if you can afford buying a lot of jewels(raider): http://poeurl.com/bHgS

https://pastebin.com/y3ZDujt9 pob code
almost 5.9k life at lvl 95. 3.34M shaper dps.


No stupid inflations at pob code.
6k life feels like the best while mapping tbh.


http://poeurl.com/bJcN Tree, lvl 95 tree.

lvl 93, cut the Crackling Speed

lvl 91, cut the heart of oak,

lvl 88, cut one of the jewel slots.

In perfect world, where you can have perfect gear and such Pathfinder would be better but since we are here in a league where it's hard to find proper items even when you have enough currency, we have to rely on dps provided by the tree & ascendancy choices more than items as much as we can.
Raider gives us movespeed so you can catch those EK & Glacial Cascade miners and even clear faster than them, through frenzy charges we get plenty of dps which our HO dps get's multiplied by almost 2.

So shortly let's make it tl;dr:

You can use vinktar
Status immune
Very high dps
High Mobility
lesser survivability than pathfinder
Easy to micro.

There is a another choice though which is using Ascendant Raider and one another dps / or tanky ascendant class choice. Scion is better for collecting jewel sockets, that's for sure. HEre i am talking about 2 class choices:

Ascendant Raider vs Raider



"
10% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge when you hit a Rare or Unique enemy


vs

"
20% chance to gain a Frenzy Charge when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy


this is big difference even though it doesn't look like it, i like to reach the full potential of my burst damage in shortest time as possible rather than having high tooltip dps to show off people at forums. however, even the damage is better with raider.

the biggest reason of going raider is when you are on full charges you get status ailments immunity -> you can use vinktar flasks which grants 35-130 additional light damage to attacks, it's like additional gem to your 6l. also it brings 10% more damage cause the bosses are going to be shocked.

this makes raider to have more damage with better quality of life,

vinktar

vs

+1.5% to Critical Strike Chance of Assasin,

definitely vinktar is better

pathfinder vs raider:

i spec'd to pathfinder now. To compare both,

Pathfinder has more penetration which is like 10% from ascendancy, 7.5% more from perfect wise oak. she has +1 projectiles in case you are using conqueror's potency.

so, let's remember with totally same setup,


86k with pathfinder, almost 50% less you'd say.

but here is the correct calculation, since pathfinder has 17.5% more penetration first we'll multiply this with 86.9k x1.175 = 102.1k

then since we have +1 projectile, we'll multiple this with 16%. having an increase from 6 arrow to 7 is like 16% more damage, roughly.

118.32K dps is the dps which we should compare to 127k. Take note that in boss fights, it takes time to have frenzy charges fully recharged.

so, if you have perfect wise oak and all equal resists, high roll vinktar, and dying sun -> Pathfinder is the way to go.

First steps and requirements to meet,

A good rare boots with high resists,
note about bubonic trail:



this is the heart of the build, without getting one don't start trying this build out. The reason is, since this chest provides a lot of health as you get more jewels, without it you'd have really low health. It's not enough alone though, that chest has to be fed with jewels and we need a lot of jewel slots,


1 or 2 sockets depending on your budget are MUST get for this build.

If you have this belt you need 4 abyss jewels iwth 10% all elemental resistances on them, if not, fix your resists with 1 or 2 jewels, boots and a normal abyssal belt.

If you have all these and piscator's, you can start making the build! I recommend using raider if you just have starter items since you might lack dps.

search for such shield, attack speed + life 100%, all resistances.

try to get an atziri's promise too if possible.

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

Advancing the build



start getting 2 socketed ones. Increase your 10% all resistance jewels to 4 or 5 and advance to


We should get greedy! To be able to run 2 BIG auras or wrath + thunder(or ice) with empower,
upgrade your shield to something like that. Try to get all reesistances roll on it instead of particular different +% resistance rolls to be able to get benefit from wise oak most.

Time to call flasks to our help,


get attack vinktar and wise oak. After getting this you can advance to pathfinder.


try to get cool jewels.



i paid 4-5c for these and bench-crafted them. Diamond ring are always cheaper and the deeps difference between opals for the leagues is quite ignorable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moving to the High-End Game



get your bubonic trail 2 socketed, roll 10% pen of this enchantment on it.




get shaped ring bases and try to roll them good with essence of torments. Get assasin's mark. get dying sun.

Get +1 barrage enchantment on your helmet.

get gg jewels like that. Fill all your slots with them.
