If you want to feel hella safe though, give this a whirl. I'm virtually unkillable at this point. I'm pretty sure WB and block both need nerfs.

I've farmed Atziri a ton on this build. It's super easy to do it deathless as long as you don't brain AFK. It's even easier if you have a Rathpith and high chaos res.

This is what I'm running right now. Tooltip DPS is around 7.5k with Tempest Shield and LMP. With slower projectiles it's something like 11k tooltip.

I have about 4.5k HP and 3.2k ES. This is probably WAY too much ES, so you should really be fine anywhere above 4k HP and ~1.5k-1.6k ES.

I run SP for all parts of the run except Atziri adds / healing phase. This is mostly out of laziness. Running SP is super shady unless you have a ton of projectile speed from tree or jewels (I run 20 quality incinerate and about 40 more projectile speed from jewels). Also, ignore the links in my Rainbowstrides - I am a little lazy about using Vaal Haste or anything else useful in the green link. The core links are essentially the same though.

At first, I thought Abyssal Cry would help against Atziri adds but then I realized that projectile speed on jewels is all that it takes to make that phase SUPER easy (it's already easy enough given you have the right DPS).

I've killed Atziri 30+ times now, all deathless when I'm not brain AFK. I actually facetank the entire Trio fight after I kill the girl with super high phys damage. I can only do this because of my abnormally high chaos res, though. Otherwise, you just WB around the arena and hit the adds for pots as necessary. Kill order is pretty standard: ranged -> dual strike -> cyclone (first to last).

Double vaal is a joke. Without a Rathpith be sure to run anti shock in case you get lasered, but with the Rathpith the only thing you need to dodge is the slam.

Atziri is very mechanical - just dodge flameblasts with WB whenever you feel unsafe. WB makes the fight INCREDIBLY easy, since it gets you out of range of all of the badness so fast that you can do so strictly based off of your own reactions (no planning or preempting necessary).

I recommend doing Atziri only after you have a fair amount of spellblock. Rainbowstride + Lazhwar should be enough. You can really just do it while running the Lazhwar, but any more is really just a quality of life improvement. Good luck!

Also, to the OP - thanks for the build! This was super fun to run, and SUPER safe. Phys is the only scary damage type at the moment, so I'm thinking of swapping in some armor hybrid pieces, but overall this build is incredibly hard to die with as long as you don't brain AFK.

Something to note for people running this - in the way that things go, this build has a very low damage ceiling. That isn't to say the build doesn't do enough damage - it absolutely does to clear all of the late game content. It's just that compared to most builds, we peak out at a much lower point with no further means of scaling, since we rely on block nodes in tree to get spell damage. Even with perfectly crafted jewels (block, life, spell, fire damage) and a 6 link, the damage output from this build is very middle-of-the road. Again, can run all content, but you're not going to be pushing anywhere near 80k DPS.

If you want to feel hella safe though, give this a whirl. I'm virtually unkillable at this point. I'm pretty sure WB and block both need nerfs.

In beta I reached 19k tooltip which is exactly 80k dps, irony.
