If anyone know, pls halp =)

Life rolls on some pieces, mainly helmet & boots are very very low, I'd start there!

Hit 70 with this build and loving it!

Quick question though - how does everyone seem to have a 6L Cherribims? Poe.trade suggests they cost about 500c. Apparently trying to fuse a 6l will on average take 1500 fuses.

Meanwhile I'm struggling to save for a 20c Breath of the Council and an 8c Tabula Rasa! Do I just need to suck it up and grind more?

I personally recommend linking it yourself, but since its average it can turn out to cost you more but also less.

Get all the other pieces first and grab the 6L later :)

I'm curious as to why no mention of Cospri's Will? Based on Path of Building it seems like you'd be doing more damage than Cherrubim's while also getting another curse. Cool build by the way.

I considered it, for about 3 days to then come to the conclusion of Cherrubim being optimal with a small tweak to get +1 curse via ring/boots or skilltree. If you decided to opt out of the massive eHP of CoD.

Wanna know wich one is better, bisco's belt or amulet. At the moment i'm using the belt, but i found a new belt that provide me +300 on life, and realy good resists. But i dont wanna lose the Rarity that biscos belt provide, so i wanna know if is a good trade change the belt for the amulet.

Belt provides tons of clear speed, the amulet is only for Magic Find stats.

To put it in a nice way:
F* rarity, Quantity is the stat you want but the reason we use the Belt is not because of the MF stats though the IIQ is nice, it's because of the massive clear speed boost from the Rampage buff.

If you want magic find, the amulet is the key item :)

Hello! I finished act 10, and started doing maps. The thing is I die a lot, and I feel like I'm not dealing damage. So, please, what are your sugestions about what to do? What items I need to change? I've already had Cloak of Defiance, but I didn't really like it, so I grabbed Cherrubim's. I definitely need to change my helmet, one ring, boots, but I don't know what to buy. And one more thing: I saw a lot of people that have on their helmet +40% increased essence drain damage; how can I get that attribute? Thanks!

Hey,

You don't have Swift Killer in your ascendancy, I would recommend grabing that asap.
You're lvl 74 and shouldn't have any problems with Merciless Lab at this point.

The helmet you are using gives you pretty much nothing and should be replaced with pretty much any rare helmet that follows the stat priority listed in the guide :)
Your amulet is nice to help MoM sustaining but should also be replaced with any spell damage one to help you deal more damage as thats the current problem for you.
Your Ruby Ring provides 0 Life which makes you die a lot more I'm assuming, considering you are lacking a lot of life rolls on pretty much all your gear pieces.
The shield is great though :)
Boots has the same issue as the other pieces, barely any stats you benefit from. You need life rolls and you need to cap your resistances.
Weapon looks great as well :)

Your setup in your ED is incorrect and is not according to the guide, you need to check the guide & use the Support gems in the order of efficiency as listed in the guide. Your Empower lvl 1 provides +0 lvls to active skillgems which means it literally does nothing. With a lvl 2 Empower it provides +1 LvL for your active skillgems which is not even close to worth it. However, at lvl 3 Empower it's worth using as your 6th gem.

@Ghazzy Alright, thank you for helping :)

i have another dumb questio:

How to kill all thos map bosses?

nearly every map i play the map bos has "resits chaos"


with best +DS_DV+


PS: how do you guys maintain a high tier map pool ?

i end up buying them which seems not very efficient

Shaper down

Hi,great build, only thing I miss is more detailed items/leveling uniques but whatever. Belt of the deceiver for big bosses and Bisco's Leash for mapping/leveling is a good idea right?

i tried both and i felt rampage does a hughe diffrence ... also the quantety is nice to have.

but on the other hand i a n00b .. tho ^^

Hello =) Nice build!

I have 75% fire/cold/lighting resist, but -30% chaos =(
Its problem for this build or not?

THX!

Does +AoE have a significant Effect on the spread of Essence Drain? If I understand correctly it should only affect Contagion, which wouldn't be a huge deal, since basically only one target with Contagion + Essence Drain needs to die, so that everything around it will die too. If a Monster is too far to get the spread, +AoE doesn't make any difference because it only affects the initial Contagion cast.

Am I right? Google didn't really help me out here.

The reason behind this is, if it is worth taking the +AoE nodes in the upper part of the tree to get to Cruel Preparation or if I should go another path, giving me more int with the same amount of points invested.
