You can manually edit an item and give it the Reflection's curse-immunity affix.

Ahh now I see that on Wallach's Virdi's Veil. That makes total sense. Appreciate you being so active on this build guide and providing help.

Thanks again!

Hi i slamed some divine orb in Brutal Restraint Timeless Jewel. It gives me now:

40% increased projectile damage
20% increased elemental damage
5% increased attack and cast speed
and overall 80 dex.

Pob shows that is a little better than clear mind. What do you think? Is it worth to replace clear mind?

Also got this today:

If it's only slightly better I wouldn't swap it. Remember that with Divine Guidance ascendency and Mind over Matter we're taking 40% of damage from mana before life so the mana regen from Clear Mind is effectively health regeneration (at a reduced amount).

Welcome.

Also, I said a few days ago that it wasn't too hard to get the 6 link recipe... It was harder than I remembered. Spent half of yesterday and all my free time today trying to find primeval ruins, but:

235k hideout dps now.

So you first got the quality modifier, than double corrupt it, then 6Link it ? How many times did you need to try for the double corrupt ?

So, the build does feel pretty squishy so far as I'm getting into later yellow ultimatums (probably far earlier than I should feel squishy). It's probably more of an issue with my dps not being very high than having enough survival, but a lot of my future upgrades are pretty pricy. Cluster jewels in particular are way pricier it seems than in previous leagues. Did you guys craft your own or buy them?

In this stage of your build is anything that can kill you?. I hope that with more damage and freeze comes the safety. I wanna reach level 100 and I dont know if this is the build for that.

Is it just me or are +1 cold spell wands really pricey this league?

Everything is kinda pricy this league, but you also gain a bit easier raw currency through ultimatum.

To the topic: I also think the build is very squishy but I'm just level 83. You probably have to adjust it later a bit, not sure about how to yet, but it will likely be the biggest issue. Any tips on that would be appreciated.

Btw. Any reason why we don’t go for dying sun in this build?

There are 17 corruption outcomes < ilvl 80. 1/4 times we hit a double corrupt. When we do, we're 15/17 * 13/15 to MISS that double corrupt - about 76%. So we hit a useful corrupt about 1/17 of the time we use the altar.

I just have a spare Mantle to enchant, quality, then corrupt when I hit a room. I didn't target farm it, it's probably just more efficient to buy one already corrupted and go from there.

17 tries at 50c (to buy a pyramid with Apex of Ascension) is more expensive than buying one directly right now, although doing it yourself gives you a (tiny) shot at a double corrupt, or a more common second corruption that's actually useful.

I used a single and then a double notable large to start with, and bought better ones as I had more and more passive points available.

Sure, I don't have enough eHP really, my gems aren't done yet, and I don't care much at level 96. You have to play more cautiously than I prefer if you want to hit the top couple of levels.

You can definitely reach 100 with this build (several people did last league, including me), though I'd skip ultimatums from 98 or 99.

I prefer to think that chaos orbs are cheap. That explains why fuses, chroms, etc are expensive, and exalts are so high. Harvest crafts are taking the role of chaos spam.

We don't need AOE, and the extra projectiles just aren't that useful - we already cover most of the screen. I can see there being use in ultimatums, but I'd be surprised if it were better than other flask options.
