you dont need that. you just need to scale life regen and then it will be convert to es. that only help when you stop taking dmg and it will shorten the time that is need for the es regeneration start. Since you are alway taking damage that wont help at all.

so far so good

It's a pain! Let's say that until I reached lvl 70ish and started to equip endgame gear (I recommend to do it) I was made of paper. Syndicate encounters were impossible, to the point I ignored them from act 4 foward (until then I was stubbborn).
For more good advise, I recommend page 137, there are two comments from Lagrossimone (a frequent commenter of this tread and the unofficial new owner of the build) that helps a lot with the leveling process.

I just started leveling this yesterday...

Best way is probably to Level as life righteous fire or summoner and then respecc once you got the ES-Gear.

Else you just Level as (very squishy) Life-Righeousfire.
If you have 2 Kikarasus you can easily start at around Level 30 using RF if your willing to Flask (life or/and ruby) constantly. Just walk trough all the content but your not really a tank and bosses will be a pain (i imagine... Just did Act 3 and norm. Lab yesterday).

Also, where should i make improvements with this build? I was thinking with starting with my boots, since its probly the cheapest to upgrade first. Also if anyone has tips for leveling that would be great.

Your tree does not fit your level of stuff. And you did huge mistakes.

Try this tree with 2-3 changes in the stuff : https://pastebin.com/R2YQtdDx

1. Buy an extra Healthy Mind 20% ;
2. Buy a belt with the affixe "16-20% increase ES recovery rate".
3. Optional : Switch place of Carrion Solace Cobalt Jewel ;
4. Optional : Buy a Transcendant Mind and put it in the actual slot where you have your Carrion Solace Cobalt Jewel ;


You will lose some ES (9.2k -> 7.9k) but you will win a lot of net life regen (from -45 to +749 which means each second you will regen 10% of your max ES). And with a +2 aura/AOE corruption on shaper's touch and lvl 21 purity aura, you will have a higher max res (82/80/82 -> 84/83/84).
You will also lose a bit of dps, but from your point it won't be noticable.

Note, for higher ES and a bit less regen, you can replace Transcendant mind with a rare jewel with %max ES, %burning and extra mods like dmg affixes or some stats.

I'm wandering if this have any space in this build. It seams to be fine to good for mapping. Thoughts?

This should be usable yeah. Personnaly, I did not tried yet, so I don't realy know how solide this flask is.
But only by reading it's mods, I'm a bit sceptical about it's utility.
I see 2 majors problems :

1. The core explicite only provide regen on kill, which mostly only happen against trash, and not against boss. This may be problematics because, most of situations where you need more regen will be against hard boss. And there is not so much boss fight that have much adds to kill.
And at the same time I didn't tested yet if this flask compet with the regen from Consecrated Ground provided by a Sulphur flask.
2. This flask will block an extra anti-ailments flask affixe, and in this build we don't have so much flask slot for this. So this may lower the tankiness of the build.

But imo, the veiled crafted mod you have here is top tier. I'm curious if it's considered as a prefixe or a suffixe.

This master craft works on this build yeah. But I don't see it as relevant.
What this affixe provide, is only a reduction of the delay of our ES regen start, and only the start.
I don't see it realy usefull because it will be fucked up by 2 other mecanics : Time of Need ascendency and Vaal Discipline.

There is many way to level this build :

- With a life based RF build. It's possible, and you will have to respect a lot of passives (this should cost you less than 30 regret tho). But it won't be the most efficient way for leveling. You will be squishy, and may die a lot. Here you can find a lot of leveling guide on youtube, like this one (the tree, class and ascendancy should change a bit tho).
- With any other leveling build (Poet's Pen, Molten Strike, Totem Arc, etc.) and you respect your tree later when switching for this build.
It's probably the most expensive way to go but, at the same time, the quickest way to level this character.

Personnaly, this league I did it with Molten Strike.
You just need a wild fire, a tabula, a claw with some flat life gain on hit. And if you have some chaos to spend in your leveling stuff, you just can use a Thief's Torment ring, and an Ornament of the East claw.
It worked realy well.

The tree you may use for this build is highly dependant on your stuff and the level of your stuff.
The trees posted by OP are highly based on his stuff and some specifics items that are, in general, expensive (but in comparaison to previous league, the specifics expensive items are way more cheaper this league).

For people who want to play this build on budget, I highly recommand to follow this tree for a lvl 90-92 character.

Sadly, it's a Sufix. It may still be good, but it take place of a ailment removal.

Craft this in place of a anti-curse flask (don't like to run two quicksilvers). Looks like it's as good as it appears to be. Recommend to get it in a flask.
