Seems interesting with the use of Chainbreaker/Berserk for the additional movement speed!

Heres the masteries looking excellent.
That 1% DOT per 4% chaos res works well for us for sure


The mageblood belt would also be insane on this build..

Absolutely no idea how we are going to do defences. Curse immunity seems easy and it isn't hard to get okay evasion or armour with our build so maybe stack both? No idea...I am not great at this stuff.. Would totally love to be able to be a little less vulnerable to bosses but i think the new mechanic and the uber stuff suits this build pretty well.

I was thinking in going full maximum Chaos Resist and armour. Using Divine Flesh, capping Chaos Resist to 90%, and since Viridi's Veil and Apothecary's Gloves Base are Hybrid A/ES plus Death's Oath is full armour, we should be able to get a good amount of Armour with the rest of gear and path.

However now we would have problem getting some dex depending on the pathing since I want to go to the Templar side. I'm waiting for the PoB to check if it is viable.

Careful Planning might help. I mean the jewel 😉

And I have a feeling that Armour would be the way to go

In case you missed it, a temporary PoB is available there:

With the changes to reservation we might be able to plug in Determination. No chance to run Purity of Elements than though. Which is a shame, looked forward to running that and ignore any ailments :)

How d we become element immune otherwise? Jewels?

new POB

I'll need some time to think about the best approach.

In general, the right side gives us more damage and life on kill, which we can use to replace Brush with Death on the clusters with DPS notable.

Without Acrobatics, we don't loose 50% of the armour, so we have ~3k armour (same gear as previously. will need to update it, so probably more), and now its more effective.

Even if we go left for the Armour, its a high investment to get a significant improvement and for a significant damage loss.


This is what I have so far:

This is very preliminary tree and needs optimizations and some gear changes
Damage is much better, btw...

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions :)
