First of all, thanks for the amazing guide, I'm doing yellow maps with a tabula, no problems at all!

So I dropped a shroud of the lightless, and I really like this item since it provides a lot of defense, life, etc.. I was wondering if the attack of the animated weapon converted to cold with triad grips would benefit from the elemental penetration skill built in this chest, any clues on that? I did some research but I haven't found anything on this matter. Thanks!


It's a high dps loss, since pen supports are quite bad. The reason is because you are already reducing res by a high %, so pen has reduced effect.

Thanks for the answer, since AW dps is so insane, i'll try to link the sockets and replace tabula till later maps :)
Yeah I've used Shroud of the Lightless before for SRS. Even though it technically gets a bit lower damage than a 6L, having the extra abyssal can make up for it a little if you get a good one.
Does anyone know what the type of damage is in Delerium when there is a slightly darker grey color under my feet?

I am having a hard time determining what is killing me. If it is a specific damage type I may want to use a specific flask.
is ee nessicary? seems i can only get it to go when casting bladefall
Is the Chains of Command chest piece not worth using?

yes exactly, you use it against bosses.

Significant loss of DPS as it prevents you from having summoned spectres or a golem.
I tried my best to get used to this build's playstyle, but it's just too high maintenance for my liking, so i just ended up using Chains of Command which pretty much plays itself, i can give this advice to everyone before quitting their character.

Go back to A1 and buy as many copies of Animate Weapon as you can fit in off-hand weapon slots, and begin leveling them.


What is this step in the leveling part of the guide for? I don't understand why I want a bunch of leveled up animate weapon gems.

You want have a quality 20 and level 21 AW, that's why you lvl a bunch of gems off hand. This is also Tru in any build you play, specially in minions quality normally is speed and dmg, extra lvl from corruption is another big bust of dmg.

I'm loving this build, Dmg is really high and with the correct cluster jewel AW is inmortal. My only concern is defenses but when I get auto trigger bone offering and ubet lab with 75% stack block and 40% with vaal moltenshell will be enough I think
