its not tanky at all. You are required to rely on flasks, and expect to get one shot a few times here every few maps.

I played this in 3.19 and loved it, the only thing i struggelt with ware the endgame bosses and the UBER essence monsters.

I farmed lots of chayula breachstone's and onlyed diet to my stubit plays or hard combos on rare mobs :)

Vaal CA numbers look pretty nutty. Basically 12 seconds (2 uses of 6 seconds) of essentially 2.4x damage of standard CA.

As with everything in PoE, it comes down to your personal playstyle/skill. How good are you in dodging things manually in PoE and understanding the game.

Some people might die a lot with this Build if they aren't very good at the game or haven't built their defences properly.

While me for example, I smash giga juiced T16 maps and don't even take damage.



ONE THING I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH FOR PEOPLE LOOKING IN THIS SPECIFIC GUIDE AT THE GEAR AND SKILLS.

I did make many changes last league which I uploaded all the changes to Youtube. These changes haven't made the Forum yet as I haven't had time to update it yet. And these changes are for example, making it stronger vs endgame bosses, making it tankier and thus more expensive.

You still didn't answer how we recover life, the rest of your answer sounds good. I love to play braindead so I'll have to thoroughly check your build tommorow before league start but man I wanna play DO so bad, it looks so nice.

Rejoice, this build is megabuffed. 50% chance to explode profane bloom, a whopping 4600 base dot damage on vaal caustic arrow at level 20.

Defensively sketchy though. Lost malediction. Enfeeble aura by blasphemy lost some effectiveness, though we haven't seen the new passive tree yet. The new amulet might save the day, but that's a rare uber drop. This build is going even more glasscannon mode no doubt, might even be squishier than a deadeye at this point.
