Hi, do we have a melee option (Instead of incineratе) to use the Fortify?

Hey Neonoviy_Keks! The melee skill that feels best to you would be best. It's all about feel. We have no investment into accuracy so your melee skill will be for proc'ing buffs, not for doing damage. Earthquake or Earth Shatter would be good for groups. Cyclone is good for consistency. Consecrated Grounds suits this build the most.

Hey, i really love your build because its pretty good for my potato pc, i dont have to wworry about being dead if i ever lag or freeze bit. i want to know what flask should i be running? for now i use 2 life flask, 1 sulphur, 1 granite , 1 quicksilver. thanks

Oh awesome, UshioSan! That's great to hear! I played on an Xbox One for a long while and I totally know what you mean.

I still don't have the Instilling Orbs to try out combos of things, but I like the idea of Quartz Flasks (to keep us phasing in combat). I also love the idea of Sulphur flasks. I also love the idea of Ruby Flasks.

My plan is to have 4 of whichever flask I end up loving (likely the Ruby flasks) and one life flask. The life flask changes make them really reliable. The rest will be triggered with instilling orbs when I am burning, frozen, shocked, and poisoned...each getting rid of the ailment that matches the trigger. (So when I'm poisoned I'll remove poison too.) But I also love the idea of the flask matching the removed ailment. (Topaz flask for shock.) But I also think Quartz flasks match getting frozen as you can get into tricky spots when frozen.

So to answer your question, I have no clue ;). But you can't go wrong. Flasks are the most "personal" part of the game. It's where your playstyle really needs to fit your situation. But the above is what I'm thinking once I get 20 Insitlling Orbs.

How tanky is this build compared to for example a templar.

I am looking for a pretty "lazy" build and be able to facetank most content.

(yes i know how to move, but sometimes it takes some time to realize i am taking damage :) )

I am absolutely fine in swapping damage for durability..

This build can tank lots of content once you have the gear. Decent Chaos Resist would be a must there too. But this build won't be able to facetank all content.

You can also add some personal defence with flasks and swapping out Skitterbots for Artic Armour or something.

There's lots of potential to change the build. This build is tanky, but not unkillable. It needs the gear obviously, as well.

I've been running this build since the PS4 league start and am really enjoying it. I started running RF as early as I could sustain with health flasks, a stone golem, and my first ascension - around level 35 - and haven't looked back. As long as I was cycling the different flasks they were easily getting refilled with all the guys I was killing. Now that I'm level 50 I can pretty much face-tank all the non-scourge content I've come across with pretty garbage gear. Should be a pretty easy cruise to the end-game from here on out. Thanks for the build!

Awesome, AceLuby! CONSOLE FOREVER! I'm glad the build runs well on the PS4. I was playing 3.13 and 14 on the Xbox One and it was horrible. I'm glad the game is optimized better now! I'm also glad you're having such a good time with the build! I hope it continues. Thanks for the great feedback. And awesome job getting RF working so early!

Thanks Wrecker! You're a legend mate!

Just wondering to myself, is scorching ray better than incinerate?
And also looking for tips. How do you push into red maps. I feel like a god up to t8 then start getting very very dead XD

Thanks for the smile, FIXITY! I really appreciate it :).

Scorching Ray is "better" damage-wise for sure but I don't use it because I don't like how it aims. Adding SR would let you replace Wave of Conviction (for the sake of Exposure) and let you keep all of the Channelling and Stationary perks that Incinerate brings. BUT it doesn't hit. So you won't get any leech. Leech is a big part of being able to be Stationary. What I'd do is level both INcinerate and SR. Play with both and swap them whenever you're in the mood (if the build works without leeching).

The sucky thing about RF is that there are a lot of map mods that hurt us. You have to be pretty picky with map mods. And then there are certain mobs that just hurt lots and are dangerous to play a certain way around. SO for me, there are some situations I find where I just ignore Incinerate and just RF around in circles, all while holding down Enduring Cry. It's a hard choice cause Incinerate's leech is nice.

Also, flasks are big in the right place. I'll be aiming to have 4 Ruby Flasks auto-triggering which will help life regen in whichever circumstance.

Does that help? Let me know if not. Thanks again for the kind words :).

Can you get identify what is killing you? You should be able to tweak your build once you work out the problem.

Thanks Wrecker, it does help. And I'm pretty much doing as you describe with the running around for conquerors and some things.

Its a great build for right now, zooming through maps, so I think farming currency will be good (ps4 trade market is the emptiest I've ever seen, basically ssf this league), but I'm not quite sure how to push beyond.. so maybe save up for a flashy boss killer soon?

Took ages before a 6l showed up on market, and the rest of my gear, so it seems intimidating to obtain better gear and get further, but nevertheless a great league start.
Better than I had in expedition XD

After that said, its been a frustrating day, bit lost and hopeless atm. Can't really progress XD. Need to figure out how to get better gear i supose...

You're a nice high level, FIXITY! Nice work!

I play console as well. I love the "offline" trade system but the traffic and search system is pretty harsh. Console players need a SSF mentality for sure.

Nice work on your 6-link with a nice life roll! I'm still on a 5-link myself. Good find!

In terms of survivability, I think the issue comes down to your life mods. You have a couple of items that have some great rolls but most of your items (outside of your weapon) have low, or no, life rolls. So that's going to be my guess as to why the content is so frustrating for the moment. And that's no criticism at all! The game gives what it gives. You'll just have to be patient and weigh your pros and cons as gear drops. Keep your eyes peeled for items that are missing Suffix. If you get a great life roll on an item, you can fill in a resist on your crafting bench. The only item I personally feel is worth a lower life roll is boots. A lower life roll for the sake of 20%+ movement speed is ok in my books.

So until you have some gear with better life rolls drop, just do the highest map tier you are comfortable with. I do the same when getting characters set up.

Let us know how it goes.
