[3.17] Hybrid's Molten Strike Jugg - Hold right click to TANK anything |MELT the Atlas|Divine Flesh|

I have problem beating Oak with this build LOL.

Still enjoying this build despite the fact i am missing all the correct jewels still. I am grinding away at it. My health pool is not quite there yet either at 5.8 k nor do i have all the correct items for the max resistance.

Its really nice to see what it can do fully kitted out. Having a blast with it.

What's the story with this "Increased effect" thing on the small jewel? It increases aura effects? Or other something on the jewel?

I'm doing some variant of the build. Instead of Kaom's chest, i'm going with Brass Dome for lot more tankines on phyisical hits and 5/6 links on MS plus a helmet with +2 project projectiles on molten strike enchant.
I have almost 100% uptime of 90% phys res, Elemental res at 76, 82 chaos res with, Xophs blood with Cleansed Thoughts, Timeles jewel with divine flesh, Large cluster only, the medium ones still didnt got it, 6k Hp, 6 endurance charges.

Even with that defenses, i'm still dying on some rituals on red maps and getting some one shots. I know 6K hp isn't that really big, but with all that defenses i think i should at least not get one shoted so often
Is there something i'm still missing?

i've never used Glorious Vanity before and i do not understand the sacrificed numbers in it. in order to get Divine Flesh do i need a specific number or just buy a random one and it's guaranteed to give Divine?

its increasing the effect of the jewel's stat itself.
so if it grant you +4 dex and have 25% increased effect it becomes 5 dex.

ah, see my friend, you fell into the noob trap called "in-game physical damage reduction"
that 90% is a lie, its only 90% against very small hits.
the actual reduction is much smaller against big hits.

the build already have enough physical damage reduction and can survive the shaper's slam.
so in this case its better to increase your life pool, and guess which chest grant the most amount of life? yeap, kaoms heart.
you dont need sockets because your skill is in your helmet, and you lose damage potentially since chest cant have the 30% more elemental damage mod.
also a potential +1 to all max res (this includes chaos res).

if you go to the pob and switch kaoms with brass dome you lose over 1.5k life.
the only advantage of the brass dome is the "take no extra damage from critical strikes" mod, but we have Solaris pantheon, and while its not exactly the same, its better to use that with kaoms.

Hybridboy bro, the video (10 bosses fight) is great, would you mind sharing your current gear? I would like to compare since I am doing so little damage and I don't understand why. My gear definitely needs upgrading but I have to find priorities as I am broke :D

Cheers!

You can use this as an avg. quality mapping gear. The helmet and shield definitely needs an upgrade, but I couldn't find proper replacements yet.

It's very important to use lvl 1 Vitality gem & watcher's eye jewel with "Increase healing rate when vitality is active" for this build as described in the main post, otherwise your healing on damage amount may be low.

My molten strike shows as 34k dps on the tooltip. I suppose that's an acceptable value for this build?

I played this way back in Delve and beat everything SSF. Still have all my gear on demjuggs including +3 helm...good ole days..anyways...Is it still viable to do that with all those jewels? Kaoms no problem...many cards... The rest of worn gear also doable...but jewels are random and rare AF like legion one.

I was getting killed a lot too between lvl 93 and lvl 94. Died at least 15 times...

And then i changed my small cluster jewel (gave up temporarily from chaos res) to get more health. Now it's over 8k.
Then i got "corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you" on Wildfire.
And then "You get 50% reduced damage from critical strikes" on Kaom's Heart. I'm still on old pantheon "settings". Haven't even noticed there are new recommendations

With those 3 things it all feels so much better...
