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

Loving the build thus far, absolutely shreds maps, bosses and delving. However, I can't facetank for shit, I get one shot way too often. If someone could take a look and tell me what I'm missing that would be awesome, I'm sure it's something I forgot or haven't picked up yet. I appreciate it! :)

if you look at the video the facetank he does on minotaur has extremely forgiving map mods. I don't think you can facetank the T16 bosses at all with this. You just get blown up.

So, is there a tankier variant? It seems that some of the damage is an overkill, so perhaps that can be averted?

I am at lvl 44, so can't really tell yet.

Personally, I went MoM + Lavianga's Spirit and it works great. I can facetank everything up to T10 (haven't tested beyond yet). And even when I can't, I just have enough defense to fold back and regen. If you don't wanna go full DPS, I'd suggest Vall Grace and/or a Vall Lightning Trap/blind setup.

Thanks.

I assume that the main issue are the bosses, right? How's it doing in delves?

I was thinking double curse with enfeeble/temporal instead of the crit multi cluster...

Bosses are fine, you just need to actually dodge some stuff on the guardians. I haven't tried Shaper or Elder yet though with this.

Bosses are OK with a few flask management if you don't feel safe enough. Look at my character, you'll see the flask I'm running to feel a bit safer.

As for the delve, some rare monsters are super annoying but the barrage setup deals with them no problem. The danger comes from taking 1s to swap your Pen with the Ball Lightning/Barrage setup.

I am 100% positive you would delve twice as fast and safer if you just went Ball of Lightning all the way through if you used a movement speed flask. I can't imagine even using Lightning Warp at delve 300 or higher.

Yeah you must be right.

Tried Uber Atziri, got REKT by the trio of morons. Man just can't do it, I got 1 shot 6 times.
