There were no cluster jewels on the main build. And how will more damage help me from getting one-shot?

- Your belt has terribly low increased attributes. 18% can be found for 40c. You can also buy a rare belt with "increased int" (implicit) with INT and ES for 30-40 chaos.
- Very low ES on your glove and no INT.
- If you die a lot, use rare boots with more ES/INT/resistance (you will need a quicksilver flask)
- Chest with 550+ ES and 30+ INT can be bought for less than 20c at the moment.
- You can remove your 3 skills points (coldhearted calculation in the right) and pick the 3 passives next to eldritch battery (-40 INT, +60 ES) for moar ES
- You have 4 useless strenght passives in the lower part of your tree. Refund your socket jewel with fertile mind (quite useless to be honest), pick the socket jewel at the end of the 4 strenght passives and add 2 brute force (one where your "phoenix scar - cobal jewel" is. Should gives between 90 and 100 INT.

You can always look at others players for their skill tree (for cluster jewel) and gears.

If you *really* need new gears, i can give you this.

Thanks for the help!

Hey guys, I play with this build for the 1st time, loving it so far, especially because it allowed me to complete some encounters which I've never completed before (Sirus AL8, Uber Elder, Catarina lvl83). Now I want to try and defeat Uber Atziri, but the Trio destroys me every time in both Vaal Temple Map and in the Alluring Abyss (I'm still learning the mechanics, but still). What is your experience with taking on the Uber Atziri fight? Do you have any tips how to perform well with this build against Trio and the Atziri herself?

Yeah, I've discovered it while I was looking for info about the encounter, and this was a part of my thinking process - if defeating Uber Atziri is possible with this build at all.

I was thinking about some skill tree modifications, but there's not enough reflect reduction nodes to solve it - so maybe some gear changes? I remember Sibyl's Lament unique ring and Soul of Yugul can help, but without my rings I don't have capped resistances, and I obviously want to avoid that sacrifice (ironic!).

Maybe there are some Icedancers who managed to complete the Alluring Abyss and they can share some information about how they did it.

You can respec ascendancy into elementalist to get reflect immunity for that fight. Or Sibyl+Yugul.

Hello,

at first i want to say i play PoE very casually, so i dont have all the information needed.

At the moment i try out this build.

So now my problem:

i cant get the cast wehen damage taken, hextouch, ball lightning and enfeeble combo to work.

cast when damage taken and enfeeble alone works but as soon i put ball lightning into play it stops working.

I have a 4 socket chest all linked.

enfeeble lvl3
cast when damage taken lvl 1
ball lighning level 3
hextouch level 1


Thank you all for reading this possible easy Problem.

You need to level enfeeble to so high level that cwdt does not try to cast it. What I think is happening right now (not 100% sure) is that because enfeeble is so low level that it can be triggered by cwdt, cwdt tries to trigger it but being linked with hextouch prevents it from being casted. Also level up hextouch, it is better higher level you get it.

Thanks for the suggegtion. I will Try it as soon as i am back from work. I Will keep you posted.


EDIT: Turned out you were right! Thank you very much! as soon enfeeble was to high level to be casted by cast when damage taken it worked perfectly. :)

You should watch Engineering Eternity's YT guide for the basics of it. It's 3 years old but still applicable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHLl6Z6-ZeU

As for the trio, the hardest boss is Al'Alai, the ranged spine shooting demon. You want to kill her first. If your damage is not high enough to kill her right away you will need to use hit and run tactics. Her "crushing squall" skill is capable of killing in 1 burst only so you have to move fast. Ideally, the 2nd guy to kill is the burning dude. If you let him live last his empowered phase will have a strong fire reflect skill. The 3rd and last guy uses a big AoE cyclone & cleave that inflicts corrupted blood. You'll need to kite him and bring bleed flasks.

Atziri herself can be killed without reflect gear but its not recommended as she has a base reflect that is fairly low but with really high dmg it may be enough to win over your leech. The split phase mirror clone is also a pain to manually avoid with an AoE skill and has full reflected damage. She also reflects any curses back to you so be sure to remove ele weakness or all curses. To mitigate reflect you need either of these:
- Use 5 respec points for Elementalist ascendancy (and 5 more to respec back when done)
- Sibyl's lament & Soul of Yugul Pantheon
- Hunter/Shaper influenced rings with reflect immunity
I wouldn't recommend pathing to reflect passives on the tree just for this fight.

Atziri is really one of the most mechanically demanding boss fights in the game so it really comes down to experience.
