Hi, it's my first league and i'm lvl 90 and it seems impossible to do 12-15 rare maps without dying at all. I'm even dying occasionally on 11s as well depending on the rolls.

Every time I make like 70% exp i'm downed to 0 regardless how careful I am. It just makes me feel like to scrap this build and try something else.

Any upgrade at this point costs at least 3 exalts (skills) and 7 exalts (eq), but none of those improve survivability only dmg. I know having more dmg and oneshotting screens on higher maps would probably prevent some deaths, but some are instant kills where I did not even had a chance to fire anything. Not sure if it's general melee characters problem or something is wrong with my build / flasks.


Should I run lower tier maps and lvlup slowly? Or focus on money making for now and upgrade eq/skills before i even consider lvling up to 91+ ?


check my profile for build, thanks

some of your gear has bad life rolls

consider soul tether if you want more tankiness/overleech

fail

Is it viable to play this build on console? There seems to be a lot of button upkeep with all the "Cry" gems and with console you can fit them all it is just much harder to activate them.

Doing pretty well on mobs, but bosses often give me problems. You use your flasks, do some damage, they still live, you're out of flask charges and then it's like you barely do any damage at all and you're doomed. Even though according to POB I do a total of 594k without flasks selected.

Not sure how those 'stunlocks' are achieved, but for me a boss is stunned for a few seconds maybe and then just runs around happily :-P

Saving up to get 6 links, but apart from that my gear is like this now:




With Pride, Blood and Sand, and Flesh and Stone active I only have 31 unreserved mana left, maybe that's a bit too low?

First time I try this build, can anyone tell me why I die so fast?

Also if I have all my spells with reserved mana up, I have 5% mana and i'm out of mana if instantly if flask is not up

use herald of purity instead of flesh and stone

your rings and gaunts has bad life rolls

your wep is very bad

Herald of Purity solved my mana problem.

What weapon should I use? The guide recommended this unique one early, and I can't purchase tidebreaker for multiple exalts.

I will try to find better rings with better life rolls as well, ty.

It costs much less if you add sockets and links yourself

your weapon literally has 140 dps

get a rare one with 300-400

get a tidebreaker and 5 link it yourself with prophecies or harvest craft

Yea with Flesh and Stone's bump up in reservation it's difficult to run all the auras. I've been running some different POB iterations and found that even w/ Enlighten 3 or 4 in a 6 socket w/ B&S, F&S, Pride, HoP the reservation was too much for my comfort (and F&S Maim out of the question)-- you could also try the Lifetap approach w/ cries but I wasn't as comfortable with that.

I instead went Impale focus and today added Divergent Dread Banner for 20 c-- my Mana res is about 16% (117 mana) which with Mana leech and mana regen incidentally on gear is quite sufficient-- with 95% impale chance my VGS DPS is listed at 19M & 14.5M additional DPS from Impale-- given that you can impale on a big VGS and then have your minions proc that damage with their small hits, it adds up really fast. I walked into t15 Veritania and 3 VGS in a row later she popped :)

I also bought my Coil yesterday, ran uber-uber-lab, and was lucky enough to get the Life on kill w/ Rage enchant :D

Good improvements-- definitely keep an eye out for mana leech on Ring or Amulet ASAP. Also work to getting a Granite flask instead of 2 Life flasks and a Sulfur Flask to replace Mana flasks once you have leech. Get Anti-bleed (Staunching) on life flask and Heat on Quartz / Granite / Quicksilver; I also like Anti-curse on Sulfur or Granite (pre Lion's Roar).

When you get a chance, also divine that Guilt ring-- the Buff and Mana Reserve look almost minimum valued.

Also, as a general comment, I've seen a few people trying to get positive Chaos Resistance in final build-- it's definitely not a must with all our built-in regen and life leech-- if you can get -10% or better you can tank most poison/chaos hits.
