I'm going to work on my chest first then. Do you know a way to estimate chest ES with 20%q ? I though 500/1.2 = 417 base ES would be enough but after I bought and quality a chest, I got only 464 ES on my new chest

I don't know for sure how the math works there, I think the 20% works only on the base ES of the item, or the base ES + flat ES from mods.

If you are looking from the trade, you can see on bottom right of the item how much ES it has when 20%q, or current ES if current q is more than 20%

Yeah, last league they changed it (or fixed the bug) so that you have to encounter Fenumal Hybrid Arachnid beast atleast once in the map in order to make that craft available to you. Just buying the beast from the market isn’t enough. It will work even if you have encouraged that best in the past leagues.

I would suggest farming group rota einhar missions.

Well shit I had no idea. Apologies for giving the wrong information. Yes, I had met the beast long ago.

Is this build have an option like using shavronne's wrappings for activating more auras (without CI)?

i have 5L shavronne right now for curses

what is the downsides of this option?

I'm playing this build right now and looking to upgrade my gear, is it worth spending like 1ex on a chest with no increased int? I only have 1ex and 110c to my name. or maybe I should spend the rest of my currency on both anointments?

All these increased int are so expensive not sure what I should aim for next.

I switched out ball lightning with eye of winter. I liked the ice effects thematically, and it still applies curse. Keeping it at lvl 1. I'm just wondering if yall notice any drawbacks that I didn't think about?

I also ran into the same thing with aspect of spider, RIP. I think it's a bug. GGG mentions it on the known issues page.

What auras you would be using?
I don't think there is anything that is better than having more int and ES from good rare chest.

You could start with chest with just flat int. They should not be too expensive, but you might need some other stuff to keep up with resistances. Also you could get better belt. Your belt now has only 10% increased int, it should be easy to get one that has 18% (15% with 20% quality). Or just 15% if your budget is not that high.

I don't know how often orb triggers curses, Ball Lightning does it quite fast. Main benefit of BL is, that it helps on maps with Elemental Equilibrium.

Can OP or someone check my character? I'm struggling with a damage and survivability a bit and i'm not really good at the game, much obliged in advance

After testing, eow is slightly slower, but has more aoe so it can curse whole room instead of one direction. Im gonna keep it in and switch out ball lightning when I get elemental equalibrium, but they seem pretty even at the end of the day.

Are you capped on resistances(75%)? That would be the first thing. I'm not seeing much ailment protection, would look at investing in the cyclopean coil for the immunity. Your belt isnt doing much for you. Also would get different flasks. Grab some granite/bismuth flasks with bleeding and freeze immunity. Wise oak flask is good for defense as well as damage, and atziri flask is a cheap damage boost. Would also look at matching the gems in your staff to the guide, focusing on AOE freeze or boss damage. Looks like you got a few points unallocated on the skill tree as well.

Currently i'm swapping my gems from map clear to single target, belt and flasks are my priority, thats leftovers from my old build. All points are located tho

What can I do to prevent Aries from killing my character with one shot, every time, with every approach. As far as I had the funds, I improved my character enough, and Aries doesn't give a shit, and he does his job. When I read how happy my friends are with the game, I wonder if we are playing in the same league. I think GGG has set itself the goal of stressing me out. I wish you satisfaction with the game, because it is definitely not nice.
