How does this build do against guardians and shaper? Any videos?

Haven't had time to test new content in a while. Last thing I did was uber Izaro (pushover). Guardians shouldn't be a problem for a skilled player at all. Shaper may require good gear as I hear there is a DPS check in the fight.

I'm thinking of dropping Cast when Damage Taken and manually casting Tempest Shield when I feel the need. What do you think about this? I can have it up when I want it and not worry about it triggering at the right time.

That's fine, you would get the benefit of a bit more TS lightning damage from a level 20 gem. However, I think that level 1 CWDT does a pretty good job of keeping it up all the time in combat, at least when things are challenging at all. If I'm steamrolling, it doesn't matter anyway.

Am I crazy or did the build go into galvanic hammer at some point? Has the final tree changed? I haven't lvled in a bit and now im not seeing it on the final build tree. If so I've got like 7 nodes I can respec.

Hello, Sovyn!
Is the level of gems listed in the "My Current Gear - Premium Setup" is what we actually have to use? For example, Shield Charge and Fortify are both level 19 instead of 20. Is there some meaning behind that?
To put it more generally, are there any skill gems level constrains except for the Cast when Damage Taken?

Thank you for the guide. I am super low level right now, but your guide is helping me progress.

It just takes ridiculously long time to level a gem from 19 to 20. I have been leveling the same gem since the beginning, but I don't have a single gem at level 20. My Character is at level 84.

If you look at the wiki, it takes a lot more XP to level a gem from 19-20 than to level a gem from 1-19.

For Shield Charge: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shield_Charge

129,975,376 to get from Level 1 to Level 19

212,051,599 to get from Level 19 to Level 20. Almost double!

I did change the tree a while back, just before 2.5, to be compatible with more skills, e.g. blade flurry. This is consistent with long held goal of the build working with most any skill.

No. :)

Am going to try this build next, but have a few questions.

I plan on using "The Surrender", which has level 30 reckoning, do the links work with that? if I attach: CoH and Enfeeble for example?

how do people get 75/75 block, how do you get the 75% block for spells?

can this build farm uber lab? if so, can I farm it with the budget version or just the premium?

If I ever can afford a red dream/nightmare what could I take out of this build? (where would it save me the most, passives or gear)if I put it by the marauder gem slot and get the 41% resistances, it will grant 14% block chance
