[3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder

How do you go about making an elder beric? Just looked on poe trade and says elder ring with the damage leeched as life from shocked doesn't exist.

Mark of the Shaper and a elder ring with warlords mark work? instead of the bereks?

Berek is all about leech in fact. Not damage which is pretty strong already. So up to you, but you lose defense for offense.

Wouldn't the leach from Warlords Mark be better though?

You loose an offensive Curse though (Assassins Mark) and you can't do 'Hex Immune' Maps anymore. That means you cant really do 'no leech', 'hex immune' and 'ele reflect'.

For a marginal gain in dps.

I've been wondering about the curse however. I am a huge fan of enfeeble and I dunno if I could not replace Assassin's mark with it. Less DPS (but the DPS seem so strong) and more defense (yes I play SC, but I like staying alive).

AXPcickle, grats on the elder ring. It is really nice.

I'm thinking getting the warlords mark and then %hp and then the damage from the mark of shapper would be slightly better overall.

That should be fine, but you'll lose ass mark.

You could make an elder beric if you have the money, I got lucky and did it super quick, so no idea what a realistic cost is for it

Buy making it do you know mean just getting lucky and it dropping? I'm looking at poe trade and nothing along the line exists? Or is it done by just constantly val orbing berics?

Yes Lucky. It's via chance orb. You get an Elder Two-Stone Ring and then Chance Orb it, scoure, Chance Orb, scoure, Chance Orb etc etc. Till you are lucky and it becomes the correct unique.

Takes on average a couple thousand Chance Orbs and Scoures.

Seriously - it becomes really tryhard how you people try to push this build by now. ^^ +1Curse Choir of the Storm for marginal gains - this Elder Bereks for again - only marginal gains etc.

I think it's not worth it. The Build will not fundamentally get more damage from one ring or another.

Well the elder berek can be sold for some exalts anayway... If he made it in not too many tries, easy profit. Plus style.

Go into a Zana Nemesis map, and scour chance an elder Two-stone ring (lightning cold)

I got it in 91 chances, but I'm assuming that is a massive outlier. I went in expecting it to cost a few thousand chance/scours. You also might end up with elder chill of the brotherhoods instead. And yes, I 100% did it for style.

On another note, if you have the currency to spare, I suggest trying out Atziri's Acuity (about 4ex). I've felt a lot safer with vaal pact then life on hit barrage. Also for Bosses, power charge on crit corrupted Poet's Pens don't really sell for much higher than regular, and I like it better than Orb of storms to get power charges in those situations. For arcane surge, attach it to phase run, with how the duration works if your phase run eats 3 frenzy charges, arcane surge lasts like 20 seconds.

Also, make sure you aren't attacking faster than 4 aps. I actually had to adjust some of my attack speed related gems at some point. You want your in game attack rate to be at .25/.26 WITH frenzy charges. Generally that means no onslaught and don't activate an acceleration shrine before a big fight. If you go any faster then that, you'll lose damage, and you'll notice it when your nice line of ball lightnings start stuttering.

I've done shaper, forcing a phase change at the first Kamehameha each round, I'm confident I could do uber elder, but my atlas is set up for t16 elder map farming so I can't try it right now.

My gear is dumb and unnecessary, but if you're struggling with end game bosses, definitely consider Acuity's if you can, and set up arcane surge like I said above, phase run helps with survivability and it's easier to keep the surge buff up. Also consider Vaal Rf for 5 seconds of super saiyan when it matters most.

It's a great build @dariidar, A+

Why are we even using Mind of the Council? For 10% increased chance to shock? Giving up so much life + res for that single stat seems weird to me. Anyone care to explain? Thanks.

Anyone tried squeezing a Inspired Learning into the build?
