just killer my first uber elder ever with this build, on my last portal of the 3rd fragment set, but was worth it, the mechanics are interesting, and once u get the hang of it, you will feel much more comfortable with the fight.
funnily enough, I was more comfortable with ancestral call during the fight due to much better clear speed fighting the adds.
there is still a bunch of minmaxing to do(watchers eye,xoph's,blind jewel,better hp abyss jewels) but still managed to do it
How many HP do you have. I think we have a pretty similar character (lvl92 for me). And I kill for the first time Hydra yesterday. Died three times but that was the first time for me.
Your succes encourage me to keep going with this build.
currently I have 7k life
I skimmed through your character, you're missing a stygian with an abyss jewel, the berserking(attack speed near scion wheel) node, some levels on your support gems for molten strike .
you can also go for a boot enchant(inc critical strike chance if you haven't crit recently) to proc elemental overload reliably without using an orb of storms setup, as this is a big chunk of our damage.
lastly, try to get get better items to make your jewels not contain resistances at all, and buy some abyss jewels with flat fire/physical.
a 50 sum(fire+phys) abyss jewel is way better than a normal jewel with 2x attack speed. try to get one good normal jewel with attack speed and life and the rest abyss jewels with lots of flat damage, or some flat damage with life, blind, etc. whatever suits your needs. but, flat damage is way too much of a damage boost than attack speed, and attack speed hits a limit for me where increasing it just doesn't do much.

I was checking the price for Watcher eye. And I saw that 2 mod : vitality (leech)+ phys as extra fire damage or % fire damage is about the same price than the one mode anger leech.
So my question is how big Herald of Ash is important ? And when do you considere to swap Ash for Vitality ?

Thanks for these advices bro !
Yeah I'm actually watching for an stygian and a watcher eye. Yesterday I get some exa that I can spend on it. So this will change soon.
I just quality up from vendor my gems so I have to leveling them again. And I'm justly aiming to 93 for the next attack speed node.
I'm waiting for a good lab in order to do several run (I just enchant my boots and my helmet once).
Thanks for advice on my jewels. They are super budget ones. I will change them after what I listed just above.
I'm struggeling a bit with lightning resist. I think I must change my boots to fix that.

No problem, one quick look and I see that helmet is ready to be changed too, something with life and resists shouldn't cost much these days, so keep your eye on one of those too.

I was checking the price for Watcher eye. And I saw that 2 mod : vitality (leech)+ phys as extra fire damage or % fire damage is about the same price than the one mode anger leech.
So my question is how big Herald of Ash is important ? And when do you considere to swap Ash for Vitality ?
HOA is a little more dmg than the anger mod.
also you have more unreserved mana so you have more freedom with your mana and even use another aura.
the only reason to go for the vitality leech is if you also have the vitality recovery rate mod plus a dmg mod with anger.
which is VERY rare and thats why i said to not try and copy it.
i only mentioned this because i wanted to prevent future questions about why my setup is different, guess it didnt work..

Thanks for the answer. As you spoke of vitality as an alternative I asked myself the question. It's clearer right now.
Go for HOA and switch on vitality if we found a very rare en expensive 3 mod watcher eye.

Hi, i am doing this build and want to ask that after part 3 of skill tree is done, i am supposed to go any way i like ? That is the core ? Im also aware you mentioned the sword nodes to take. There are too many replies to look back so i just ask now, don't know if this was asked beforehand.
Thanks.
