How to craft that wand???
He says: "ilvl 2 Horn is only possible by turning in Dark Temptation sets with a lvl 2 character, Vaal-bricking it, and vendor recipe-ing it" I bricked the dark temptation and now have a rare ilvl2 wand corrupted. But how can I "vendor recipe" it? =(( |

I haven't played with any CI or ES build before and I am so confused.
So I'm supposed to get CI around act 10 (and when I have enough ES, whats enough ES though?). So guide says after getting "Shavronne's Wrappings" I can get rid of CI. So I guess I need CI because I don't have any hp and "Shavronne's Wrappings" blocks DOT chaos damage so what about non-dot chaos damage? Do I build chaos resistance after getting rid of CI? Also does this mean "Shavronne's Wrappings" is mandatory in this build? Basically: - I get to around 4-5k (not sure about the number) ES, - I get CI, - After buying Shavronne's Wrappings I get rid of CI, - I max all my resistances, what about chaos resistance though? I am really lost. |

" You get your Chaos Resistance from the Chayula amulet. If you're not using it then I guess you still need to be CI. Let's wait for the veterans to confirm this |
|
" I was fine with -60 chaos res until t15-16. I just switched to the ammy and it feels amazing. You have everything right. |
|
" Chayula amulet gives +60% chaos (makes it 0) and if you want more then get some on gear. I usually aim to get into the 20-50 range. If you don't want to use Chayula then you need lots of chaos res on gear or tree instead. CI is nice and tanky but lacks damage. You use lots of rares (body armour, shield, gloves, etc). During this time build your ES up and get currency for Shavs and Chayula amulet, do labs, etc. Low Life with Shavs has much more damage but needs a little more work to make tanky. So you want decent level of ES depending on your skill. I am mechanically bad and don't know fights well so I aim for 5-6k before switching. Some people go much lower and earlier. BTW shavs blocks all chaos damage from bypassing ES. As since we have very low level of life due to auras etc, it would kill almost instantly, but instead it hits our ES which is built high. Chaos damage normally hits straight on your HP. |

Did you spam essences or harvest craft Chaos for your rings? It's so hard to get high tier chaos res, another element res and open suffix. :( |

" I bought the ring LOL, It was 1ex I think. If i'm crafting it I'll spam chaos fossil together with dense or just plain chaos fossil and craft ES. Or get one with fractured T1 Chaos res or T1 ES and start from there. I just did a price check, fractured ES (T1) unset ring only 10C and Chaos res (T1) is 1EX so you can consider buying the fractured ES unset ring and craft. If you’re getting the fractured ES ring, can just harvest chaos, you’ll have 1 in 6 chances to hit T1 chaos res. Last edited by hadc#4222 on Feb 24, 2022, 3:28:51 AM

Awesome suggestion. Thanks! |

I'm having really good time with the build, it's super strong with low investment.
I have a question though. Couple of leagues ago I was playing this build with Cold Snap. Is the WTB much better than that or what? Does 6 link Vortex and 4 link Vaal Cold Snap still work and it's worth? |

Just checking in from Xbox at level 88. Doing low red maps 11-12 (filling out my entire atlas, I have one more yellow map) and doing pretty good.
I'd appreciate any feedback on improvements. I went with cluster jewels and can't get Determination into my gear due to reservation mastery issues on the tree. I'm leveling Arrogance and Determination in my alt Shield, but I know that would help. I went for a 5-link Shav's instead of my makeshift 6-link and didn't notice much until equipping the shield, which I love. I've got a few Exalt trades waiting, so I should hit 4-5 soon and I'm wondering if I should go for a Watcher's Eye with just the Clarity mana pool equals energy shield (like 8%) or if I should go for a Stars amulet instead, which I'd have to anoint again. I'm having fun, although the build for me is not as successful in Delve which I like, but I'm okay with that trade off. The league is fun, league mechanic and now I've got Scarabs flowing, mapping is fun again. Xbox trade is more expensive, but I've sold a lot (including a Dead Reckoning early in league for 1 exalt) so it has been a good league for me so far. I defeated Infinite Hunger (although I died a couple times) and I'm hoping to keep pushing to end game bosses. I've never killed Sirus, never made it, only tried twice, but I'm hopeful I can get my defenses in order and make a push. Any advice on gear would be appreciated for next steps. |
