[3.7] LL RF Scorching Ray Guardian | 19K ES | 52k Armour|1.5 mil dps| Uber Elder & HoGM DEATHLESS

I followed this build and tried to get as close to the items he has as possible. But right now I only have ~10k es and cannot tank even t15 bosses. Is there something that I missed?

Hello

I have couple questions, if someone can answer to me please.
Here is my character: https://pastebin.com/aLrNLFxi

1. Im lacking on dps. Killing rares takes too long. And if i imagine to go shaper, uber elder or even guardians? It takes eternity to kill them.

2. 19k ES?? From where please..

3. Area of Effect is big problem in this build. Circle is almost same small like waypoint xD = uncomfortable clearing.

I would really appreciate some tips how to improve my character.
Thank you for answers.

Stuff :

- Weapon : Doon is better. Try to get 68+str/27+mana ;
- Shield : Prism 30 dex, always. All dex you get here are dex point saved on ring, and so some currency saved ;
- Helmet : Memory Vault with 150+ES/190+Mana ;
- Ring 1 : Core stats you should looks for ;
- Ring 2 : Core stats you should looks
- Belt : 20+str / 20+ES / 16-20% ES recovery rate as core stats (without implicit). Look for Heavy belt, they offer the best stats/price ratio ;
- Boots : Only looks for Rare boots if they have at least : 180+ES / 40+ stat / 25+ move / res &/or mana. Otherwise, if you can't hit this, Sin Trek will certainly be a better choice ;
- Watcher's eye : Divine me this bitch to 18% on clarity mod !

Flasks :
All your flask setup is shit. Wise Oak, Atziri does not works on RF and SR. Offensives buffs ontly works for hits. SR and RF does not hit, so those flask almost only provide same buff as white flasks. Life flask are useless. Your life should never be hit with Shavronne. Here is a flask setup you should folow :
- Flask 1 : Witchfire Brew, with the highest % possible ;
- Flask 2 : Sulphur Flask
- Flask 3 : Ruby Flask ;
- Flask 4 : Quicksilver Flask ;
- Flask 5 : A second unique flask or an other usefull magic flask (Granit, Ruby, Sulphur, Basalt, Quartz, etc.)

Affixe you should look for on non unique flasks :
- Prefixe : Reduced Charge flask used / Increased Duration (duration for maping, red charge used for bossing) ;
- Suffixe (anti-Ailments statut) : 1 Anti-Bleed ; 1 Anti-Freeze ; 1 Anti-Curse.
/i\ : For Uber Elder, all your non-unique flasks should have anti-freeze suffixe (on Ruby or Sapphir flasks)

Tree : No major mistakes.
Respect the life node behind Devotion. This kind of nodes shouldn't be taken befor level 97+, it's mostly ballancing nodes.

From this point you mostly need some extra level, and should aim for lvl 90+ maybe 95+.
You will see that your ES start to drasticly inc from lvl 92+. Before it's hard to reach the 14-15k ES.
You should play Greutz bandit Reward for a +2 skill points. This will help you a lot for your tree. Oak is good for leveling or at lvl 100, when you want to force the regen and don't have any extra regen nodes left.

Also check out Lethal Pride Timeless Jewel with Kiloava and Karui buffs. On some certains spot, they can provide some +1% max fire res, and 1% life regen.

1. There is 2 sources of dps in this build, and each source can be buffed by many mechanics (EE, EO, Arcane Surge, etc.).
Never forget that RF dps is based on your life/ES pool. The more ES you have, the higher RF dps will be. Also you miss some dps nodes on tree (like Growth and Decay for example).
SR is a spell, and as a spell, it provide a flat dmg. This flat is based on SR lvl. So the more extra level you have, the higher SR dps will be.
For SR, the main problem is the fact you are playing in a 5L instead of a 6L. The second problem is the lack of extra level for your SR. Your SR gem is lvl 19. For a greater dps you should look for a lvl 21. And if you have the currency, Empower 4 and latter a shavronne +1.

2. 12 extra level that alow us to get a lot more node that provide directly or indirectly some ES (mana or stat nodes). Having a high amount of str and intel coming from items (for example, you have 481 str and 485 intel while, personnaly I have 664 str and 776 intel and I hit 18k ES at lvl 96). Having high rolled items. Also, keep in mind zzang have many legacy items (like his stygian vise with an abyssal jewel with legacy rolls).
The high amount of ES on this build is reached with 2 mechanics : Shaper's Touch build (we convert str and intel in mana and ES) and Mana guardian build (we convert our max mana pool in ES). So the more stats, the more Mana you have, the more ES you will get.
Also we are playing a Watcher's Eye that convert a portion of mana in ES while you are have Discipline. This provide an enormous buff for your ES.

3. RF get some extra radius with level. A lvl 19 RF will provide +4 radius while a lvl 20 will provide a +5 radius. Also we are playing with Inc AoE support gem in map that we swap with Conc Effect for boss.
With a lvl 20 RF you should be able to hit a 28 yards radius. It's not an incredible AOE if we compare to some other meta build, but this should do the job. Under Conc Effect, your RF will have a small radius, and so, you will have to be realy close to Boss.
If this is a serious problem for you, switch your RF setup to your chest, and your SR in Doon. You will have a higher dps in maping, and it will be much more confortable in delve, or vs boss in terme of AOE. But your dps against boss will be lower.

Hi, I am currently leveling this build and I have a couple of questions about items and skills.

-Is memory vault necessary? It increases the mana reserved and I don't have a lvl 4 enlighten to be able to cast all my auras.

-We dont use an essence crafted/elder gloves/helm to have a 5th link to righteous fire? Won't that hurt the damage a lot?

-I dont have a "gain $% of maximum mana as extra maximum energy shield" watcher's eye, is it still worth it to stack a ton of mana from items and healthy mind jewels?

Thanks

- Memory Vault can be swaped for many other helmet. But personnaly, I would not recommand it. But this will leads you to lose almost every armour of the build, and so you will lose an enormous part of the tankiness of the build.
You can easily solve the mana reservation issue by taking the 4% reduced mana reservation node in sovereignty wheel. This should cost you 1-2 skill points, and alow you to save 4-5ex.

- Essence of Horror or Delirium only works on helmet and gloves. Those slots are taken by Memory Vault and Shaper's Touch. Swaping those unique for essences craft will leads to play a totaly different LL RF build. It's possible, but it's a different build. And those build are way more expensive than this one and does not necessarly provide as much dps as this one. On top of this, good essence craft helmet or gloves for a LL RF build are way much more expensive than a good Memory Vault or a Shaper's Touch, even with the proper corruption.
In short, it's possible, but it's much more expensive, and this will completly change the build. If you still want to follow this path, you can look for the LL RF build of DemiGodKing that he builded and update to sell his mirror service (lol).

- Radiant Faith ascendency provide the same effet. So even if you don't have this version of Watcher's Eye, it will be worthy. The extra mana bonus (and so, ES gained) will only be lower.

is this jewel BIS for this build? thanks in advance for replying.

Tried to run poe.trade for the results but seems like im lucky enough to be the solely owner of these 3 specific mods watchers eye.

The Life Recovery from Vitality doesnt apply to ES with Zealots Oat im sorry.
Best in slot regen jewel would be
- Clarity % ES
- Discipline % Recovery
- Malevolence % Recovery (in case Malevolence is used)

And for Determination setup BiS watcher's eye would be :
- Clarity % ES
- Discipline % Recovery
- Discipline % ES regen

But Malevolance will provide the highest net life regen we can possibly have.

What order would you take the ascendency points in 3.7?

Time of need is definitely first as it greatly halps in leveling.
Then before switching to RF I'd suggest Radiant Faith - Unwavering Faith as it's necessary for regen
Then the last one
