Hold your currency. I'm currently working on an major update to the Wand & Shield build. Thanks to 3.8, I've found a way to keep the DPS and massively increase survivability. Here's a sneak peek:



Awesome, I can't wait. I'll just keep saving for now then.
Welp another record for me level 95(highest so far) all map tiers and mods exept reflect get deleted instantly! Changed the tree anointed Death Attunement and with these points got Ravenous horde and Grave intentions looks decent trade of.

Screenshot of the skilltree on the rework?? Willing to test it out, looking for more survivability since one/twos shots are still a thing. Everything gets melted otherwise on T14 maps.

5.7HP/500ES in game, check profile for gear, on mobile.


The damage from the build is absurd. I'm at about 1.4m Shaper dps per spectre atm and it just shreds everything. But like you said, one/two shots still happen, and I feel quite squishy in rippy maps. When I get hit, it usually kills me or about kills me, which is a bit frustrating as I have no reaction time. I'm loving this build so much that I want this character to be my first level 100 ever. I was looking to make some changes to get more EHP but seeing that 10k EHP in Kayella's PoB screenshot has me drooling. I'd happily sacrifice 300k dps per spectre if it meant I could take a few hits and not die and push for 100.
Any advice for me to improve the current gear?
Is this helm workable or a lost cause?



Build thought, remove the 6 nodes for Gravepact and something else, such as a 4% evasion/4% max life or the 10% minion life/1.5% minion life regen, and use 7 points for the Ravenous Horde nodes, and anoint for Gravepact? It only adds a little more damage, but do the movement speed and chance for onslaught help? Or would you recommend another anointment? Gravepact is a relatively cheap one.

Resists aren't really an issue with this build, so I'd say shoot for more life and +minion levels. But I'm no expert. Just my $0.02

Test build. Do not open.

Update to W&S v2 test build


New PoB:

>> https://pastebin.com/pXdtaUBQ <<

Curse Gems group: removed conductivity and blind. added elemental weakness and enhance.
Support minion group: removed elemental army. added blood magic.
Reallocated 2 life passive from mara start -> mystic bulwark.
Changed ascendancy default to Mistress of Sacrifice
Changed Flesh Offering to Bone Offering

Notes:
Overall, slightly less hp but 75% attack block and 45% spell block. This is actually much better than v1 build with 50/40 dodge. It also opens the build to 'gain 5% life on block' shields for even more sustain.

Spectre DPS has dropped a fair amount in exchange for survivability. If you feel that you don't need to be so tanky, spec out of Mistress -> Plaguebringer and use Flesh Offering instead of Bone.

The blood magic and raise spectre in the helmet is for using Carnage Chieftain as the 5th spectre. blood magic is needed to maintain frenzy charge generation.

Blind in the curse group earlier was an error. I've removed Blind and Conductivity because Elemental Weakness + Enhance reaches -50% elemental resists. Also because it's not limited to one element, the build now allows for easier spectre swapping.


I'm planning to finalise the new build this weekend with the goal of completely replacing the existing build.

Also, you might have noticed that the tree is very similar to the Pledge of Hands Life/VMS build that appeared briefly and disppeared. That means PoH will also be re-added as a build 'sidegrade' (simple weapon replacement) since the two trees are the same now.

If possible, I want to see if the PoB EB/MoM build can take advantage of the new tree, as well.

Special Notes
Spoiler


1. PoB damage numbers do not take into account Skitterbot shock

2. PoB resists don't take into account Bone Barrier

3. I'm using 4x Slave Drivers in my 6L and 1x Carnage Chieftain in my +3 helmet. The chieftain has semi-reliable frenzy charge generation. With frenzy charges unticked, DPS is around 900k. With frenzy charges ticked, DPS is 1.4mil. So you're looking at 900k x5 vs 1.4 x4. The build will still work perfectly fine with 4x SDs (ie. no +1 delve chest).



4. I chose Plaguebringer for more DPS, but you can switch to Mistress and change to Bone Offering to get more block chance. If you do this, I suggest getting a gain life on block shield like this:

I'm currently testing this myself, but I am looking for feedback from others. Be warned: it will cost about 60 regrets to repath.

Is PoH variant considered as upgrade to wand and shield variant? Is PoH variant 'final version' of this build? Should I try to upgrade to PoH as soon as possible?

Hold any plans to change to Pledge build. I'm currently testing a new version of the wand & shield build that is looking very promising.
