It looks like TC doesnt care for this build anymore, the updated skill tree is bad it has points to aoe and amplify when you can take lightning walker for +10% more damage and + lightning resistance

playing this in delve league I'm using YT_HB's setup (before he makes his profile private O_o) but instead with a nice rare dps shaper ring as a placeholder till i get a gg watchers eye with wrath crit chance + penetrate (these are very expensive)

other things I'm missing are lightning ball enchant for helmet, a 6th socket for barrage (propably I'll use LMP for more life leech) and some quality on my gems maybe a lvl21 lightning ball too

EHP is good but not great mainly because it lacks any mitigation for physical damage and sometimes life leech is not enough to recover from a hard physical hit if you want to facetank, with potions im sitting at 50%evade 50%dodge attacks 40%dodge spells with 5100life 500energy shield 2400mana+mom at lvl94

I did red elder and shapers guardians except minotaur without problems and delving goes smooth at 250 so far (minotaur can oneshot me tho i cant facetank him even if i switch stibnite flash to basalt for 15% physical reduction isnt enough)

occultist variation might have better EHP but i doubt it can beat elementalist clearspeed with inpulsa

edit: i just beat minotaur had to move around abit to avoid the boulders

Poet's Pen or other triggered damage is reduced to 20% in 3.4. Just want to confirm it's still doable to beat Hall of Grandmasters before I send myself to hell

I don't recall seeing that in the patch notes. Can you point to where you read that officially?

He is referring to this.

"PvP Skill Balance
Trigger supports, triggered skills (including Labyrinth Enchantments), and skills triggered by an item effect (such as Poet's Pen) all now deal 80% less damage against players."

So he is correct in that this build deals only 20% damage now in PvP and Hall of Grandmasters, but the same thing applies to you and some of the biggest pain in asses in Hall of Grandmasters used trigger abilities.

Quite frankly I've always avoided that map so haven't bothered to test this build in it.

Can someone explain why noone takes Paragon of Calamity to be immune to elemental reflect? I'm confused.

If you need a passive Tree that works for Delve, you can take mine.

Couldn´t get chimera yet, other guardians were easy, even facetanking mino. Red shaper was easy too. With some decent placing you can despawn two portals in phase 2 at once. Piece of cake. Looking forward for uber elder.
This build is awesome.
