Hello all you knowledgable folk, I could use some advice.

I am playing SSF and essentially I have hit a wall at L91. I know I need a better wand, and I am working on it, but my major problem is that I'm not robust enough. At certain points my ES just disappears, and given I've got 8.6k of it I was hoping that wouldnt happen.

Could someone take a look at my character and let me know what I ought to be doing to improve things?

Your skill tree looks ok to me. Resists I see seem a bit low - are you maxed out or even better, overcapped? Also the two unique flasks are a great help in survivability.

Thanks. I have overcapped resistances now, but sadly I have neither of those flasks.

Hey guys! How much is shav's with +2 aoe and +2 duration usually worth? I bought mine yesterday for 150ex but it was the only one on the market, so cannot compare (well there is another for a mirror this morning).

I think it was something like 110 - 120 ex a week or two ago.
I have accumulated a bit of currency as well and I was looking at +4 shavs because it's the only big upgrade left for my gear and I was also surprised that there were only 2 or 3 in the market...
So basically, I think you made a great deal...

Thanks for the reply! I did not plan to buy +4 shav's, never even dreamt of having this much currency, but last weekend I earned around 80ex and decided to go shopping.

What Watchers Eye combos are you all using? I think I was leaning toward a increased cold Hatred/ DoT Multi Malevolence one, but wasn't sure if I should grab a damage/defensive one instead. Definitely too broke for a 3 relevant mod one tho.

Depends what you want dps or defence, malevolence or hatred or one with double discipline.

Just hit 100 and finalized my tree.

Here is a Sirus Kill https://youtu.be/2L3GXNU7V4A

My ES regen and ES recharge is insane now :)

Trying get all my jewels to have recharge implicit and will be switching to this Hubris. Just need to remove Phys prefix and fix ES and Chaos rolls


This helm will put my Cold Snap at 9mil DPS and should push my ES recharge over 5k.

You character seems fine. IDK what advice to give to you, other than this: one of the biggest advantages of this build is being able to cause damage while moving. Knowing how to approach a pack (dodging projectiles), and how to dodge boss mechanics and attacks are key to playing this build.

I am playing this build on SSF, currently level 97 with 10k ES, and I just never had the issue you said, and I don't feel the need for more ES. I killed A8, Cortex, pure Breach bosses, multiple 10 bosses invitations, all without dying. The only situations I die are when I don't dodge some obvious rippy shit.

Also, watch out for your maps mods. A lot of people don't pay attention to this, but it is very important. Avoid dangerous mods like "increased Critical Chance/Multi", "extra damage", "extra projectiles", etc.

Guys plz help me I'm in sadness. I've spent ~70ex for this build and still gettng 1 shot kills..... a lot of oneshot kills. For you to understand - I can be killed 2-3 times during atoll map by the fckn totem boss map.... I don't understand how do you farm bosses with this build and getting 40 achievements .... And you are absolutelly non-viable as soon as there is no mobs to feed your cinderswallow flask... or if you forgot to use it

My ES is 7800
POB DOT - 2.8mln
My gear is:

With the gear you have, it is not normal that you keep dying over and over. That's a very decent gear and you should be be able to do all content quite easily.
Make sure you are always in movement, for bosses drop some vortex below the boss and run offscreen (Atoll totem boss can't move so just avoid being around when he jumps and casts the nova).
Also don't forget your flasks. Use them before rushing into a pack. All mobs will be dead before the flask buff expires and they will be full again for next pack.

Here are few things I would consider:
- In your ascendancy, drop Malediction and take Vile Bastion
- Remove Temp Chain and use Flesh and Stone (in Sand Stance). (so you don't need the extra curse from malediction)
- Use Cluster Jewels with Brush with Death and Vile Reinvigoration (2 clusters would be great)
- Use a Large Thread of Hope instead of intuitive leap to save some passive points for your clusters
- If you can fit Vitality somewhere, drop Wicked Ward and take Zealot's Oath instead. HUGE regen boost.
- Aspect of the spider is great to compensate loss of temp chain curse. (but you probably can't have everything if you use blasphemy)
