This build is great, but I feel like I lack survivability. I just can't survive on some bosses like delve city boss or Minotaur that chain stun you, and with delve bosses the window for attack is so damn small that one mistake results in death. Soul of Brine King helps a bit but it's still not enough, I am currently looking in the direction of Chayula amulet, but losing life for ES seems bad.
Even with Life Leech instead of Added Lightning Damage there are moments when the leech just can't outheal incoming damage. I killed Shaper but I was destroyed by Ahuatotli and Aul and I am afraid of what awaits me at Uber lder...
Overall, the build is awesome for clearing maps and delve, but somehow lacks boss damage which is prolonging the fights and increasing the chance of death.
Here's my current gear. I have watcher's eye with mana leech from lightning damage and %of incoming damage gained as mana. I don't know what else there could buff DPS significantly, except for +1 Inpulsa(yeah never) or +40% Arc damage enchant on helmet.
It may be worth getting a corrupted Cerberus Limb with Cast Speed implicit.
Hi Alex!
I see that you are using the combo Cerberus Limb + corrupted Ahn's shield. That combo I made in mind of enabling Cerberus leech and get ~400-500 more energy shield, so I could respec ascendancy points Paragon of Calamity and Liege of Primordial to Pendulum of Destruction and Mastermind of Discord. When you do that take out Clarity gem and put in Herald of Thunder! Buy leveled one. That will give you significant dmg boost but you will lose elemental reflect immunity!
Your flask choice is bad. Take out Granite, Sulfur and Quicksilver. Buy Rumi's concoction, Atziri's Promise and Wise Oak flasks!
For Wise Oak to work, your uncapped lightning resistance should be the highest one.
Do all that and come back with feedback. :)
Thank you for suggestion! Judging from PoB, this will give a ton of damage, gonna need some juggling with resists though.
This is my first league with caster and so far i love this build!
Already done shaper and elder..
My resistances are all at 84% for wise oak and lightning penetration is at 63% atm.
The question is how to maximize my dps farther?
Once we equipped with the watcher’s eye equipped, I don’t see we really need the clarify anymore. Since we have no mana reservation, as far as the total mana surpass 43% of HP, we will never run out of mana, and the mana leech it self can keep the mana full all the time.
Is that worth to get a helmet like that for this build? How far is "nearby"?
They are quite expensive and i don't wanna waste my money for the useless stat :)
I crafted one im wearing myself with investment roughly of 2ex and T am pretty happy with the stats:
U can also buy the shaper base with Ilvl 84 and arc enchant on it for more dps
I used pristine and metallic fossils only

Ok, so here's the feedback: the damage is bigger for sure. t15 maps feel like t8. I even managed to kill Ahuatotli(after 6 or so deaths). But now I have the problem with my flasks not giving me full immunity from freeze, burn and curses. I can have only one in addition to bleeding removing health flask and having no freeze immunity can easily kill with one unlucky strongbox.
Also, now I started to notice how many elemental reflect maps I roll...
Great guide and loving the build, but may I ask why is the absolute high end chest an Inpulsa with +2 duration gems? I don’t see any of the main links being a duration gem. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.
