Hey cake, been following your gear a bit. What's the use of your corrupted timeless jewel? Stacks with shadowstich? Is it worth switch form basic hp/fire jewels for more golem jewels? Thanks

Golem jewels upgrade both your EHP and your DAMAGE I would only go for exactly 9golems, after that diminishing returns become too much.
Golems are also your meatshield, hard to calculate how good they are for our ehp but at bosses all attention goes to my stone golems, so i would think at very least big melee hits are completely tanked by them.

They are also better and cheaper than +2gem necklace (which you need to corrupt for shadowstitch and it hurts less to rip 1ex item compared to 10ex one)

Timeless jewel does indeed stack with our shadowstitch


And this is not even our final form. I will get 18% increased life soon.
Already made chaos rings for capped chaos resist but need some divining before use.
Just had no luck with harvest to do these things: Add burning damage to wand+corrupt, remove defense from belt +slam , get good enchant on helm+corrupt


I'm taking huge hits with smile on my face as things stand

I'm now also selling best in slot shadowstitch corruption

You socket empower in to this and get +7 to fire wall +3 to swift affliction and 1 to all other support gems.
For people from this thread i'm willing to move my price a bit.


I did not try but as things stand I would guess only minotaur can kill me with some nasty mods(minotaur was always stronger than uber elder and other bosses) I'm soon next level and i will tell you if i can eat his attacks or not in day or two.
I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay,
And I pity Any girl who isn’t me today!

Could someone please analyze my elementalist build and give some tips? I think my damage is not very good... ty!



It's hard to scale Flame Wall damage, I think the best way is to get +level for the gem. Each added level should be around 14% more damage (diminishing return at gem lv 30). You can get +lv to Flame Wall from amulet or chest. Currently I have 4.5m Sirus DPS and boss fight feels very comfortable. I've done all end game boss fights, including Maven witnessed uber elder, etc deathless.

Now if you dont want to swap your amulet for double influence amulet with +2 gem lv, then you can look to replace the chest. There are different sources of +gem lv in chest

-Shaper/Warlord chest has +1 active gem. Redeemer/Elder chest has +1 support gem (which work if you replace Efficacy by lv4 Empower)
-Faceted fossil can give +1 int gem (or +1 str gem if you use Empower, or both)
-Luxury option is corrupt and double corrupt for +2AoE/duration and/or +1 all gem.

If you don't want to craft or corrupt, search on trade site for +1 active and +1 int gem. There are a bunch 6 white astral plates like that (cheapest is like 7ex or something like that). Note that you need 180 str to wear astral plate if you want to go that route.
Im doing this build with the last POB, with aspect of the spider i have 40 mana unreserved. Cant use any golem xd and i think you either in the POB, im pretty new at this game. im missing something?

You can either use enlighten linked to your aura, or look for a helmet with enchant Spellslinger has % reduced mana reservation.

Disable all auras => summon golems => enable auras :)
I planned out how to craft a shield with +1 fire spells, % fire damage and 5% life recovery on block GUARANTEED.


Base:
Shaper ES shield iLvl 68+

Harvest Crafts (count can be reduced by crafting RNG):
2 non-fire to fire
2 augment life
1 remove chaos

Steps:
1) Use scorched fossils or harvest fire alch/chaos crafts to roll at least 2 fire affixes and only 4 affixes total.
2) Use non-fire to fire harvest crafts until all four affixes are fire.
3) Use two harvest augment life crafts to add two life suffixes.
4) Use one harvest remove chaos to open a prefix.
5) Bench craft 70 life.

You're done!

With this basic formula, you can invest a lot more currency to improve the result further.
Example: It will only take about 10 cheap fossil crafts to hit #1. If you roll 100 more times, you can go until you hit T1 fire damage.


Here is where I stopped after step 1

I was rolling for T2 fire damage, but got lucky on the suffixes.

Next step here will be:
1) remove physical
2) augment fire
If I hit +1 fire skills, skip to 5.
If I hit fire damage converted to chaos, then
3) augment fire again
4) remove chaos
5) bench craft life


How does this work?
An INT Shaper shield has exactly 3 fire prefixes and 1 fire suffix. Forcing fire affixes guarantees:
>Prefix % Fire damage
>Prefix +1 to fire spells
>Prefix fire damage to chaos
>Suffix fire resist
There are also exactly two life suffixes on this base:
>Suffix regen life
>Suffix 5% life recovery on block

The bad fire prefix has a chaos tag, making it easily targeted for removal.
If you want to open a suffix, you can easily convert fire res to another element and target remove that element.


Have fun crafting!

That is great stuff dude, but i already bought shield with decent prefixes few days ago

How would you improve this one? Obvious thing is to try luck with keep prefix reroll suffix harvest craft. But do you know of something else that would be good for this build and maybe more targeted?
I recover life on kill so the life on block is not dealbreaker for me

The only thing that comes to my mind is to do chaos craft in harvest for chaos resistance

Aug physical is guaranteed #% chance to avoid physical damage from hits. Can use remove/add physical to make sure you get the highest tier.
Aug chaos is guaranteed chaos res, but you may need to hit it a couple times with remove/add chaos to get a decent roll.

Aug caster has 3 possibilities:
>Cast speed (speed tag)
>Critical chance for spells (crit tag)
>Increased effect of your curses (10% chance to roll this)
You can target remove speed or crit and try again for curses, but that sounds like way more currency investment than worth it.

The only life suffix for that shield is regenerate life per second but that can roll as low as 1-2 life per second and there would be no removing it easily. Not worth it.
Aug defense is guaranteed 3-5% chance to evade attack hits, but Unwavering Stance negates that.


Honestly, I'd just slap aug chaos or physical on this one and craft a shaper shield as a side project.

The prefix goals are pretty standard with % Spell/Fire damage, +1 fire spells and life.
Shaper has some exceptional suffixes, like:
>Recover 5% of life when you block (targetable)
>12% chance to block spell damage (!!!)
>Socketed gems have 15% reduced mana reservation (!!!)
>50% chance to shock attackers for 4 seconds on block (targetable, can drop Shaper of Storms)
>Gain an endurance, frenzy or power charge when you block
>50% chance to chill attackers for 4 seconds on block (not great but targetable)
>5% chance to dodge attack hits if you have blocked recently (not great but works with Unwavering Stance)

I'm not sure whether I should upgrade my dps (currently 1.3m) or prioritising buffing my eHP (4.6k P + 700 shields). I am about to face Sirius and I'm scared. Any advice?
