[3.17] For Slayer / Champion - Ngamahu Cyclone / Consecrated Path / Tectonic Slam

Hello all :D I'm having problems killing the shaper, i have put him with 30% of life but I always end up dying: /

Some tips to improve gear? or I can do with this equipment and just need to practice a bit more

I know that the enchant in the helmet is not the best, but I've done 30 times the labyrinth and all the enchants i get are a crap x)


Well people i'm havi

I have this in bags to

So, I'm looking at your skill tree which doesn't use Primeval Force. Since you have The Red Dream, wouldn't it be better to drop 10% increased maximum life to spec towards Diamond Skin instead?

I see that you have Hatred in your gears. Are you running that instead of Flammability? If so, consider switching to Flammability as it gives you more damage.

Importing your profile into POB, your damage is on the lower end. I believe the main struggle against Shaper is that.

Replacing your rings to Opal rings will help.

You are on 3 jewel sockets instead of 4. The 4th jewel will give you more survival and damage too.

You can replace your Basalt flask with Wise Oak when you fight Shaper. Just ensure your fire resistance is the highest among your overcap resistances.

I do have Diamond Skin spec-ed on my Slayer that uses Red Dream.

It is also mentioned in the guide under Recommended Gears section to pick Diamond Skin from the skill tree. :)

I have the hatred aura but I am using the flammability, on the rings I know I need better, but if I take out any one of the two I will run out of intellect enough for the gems of support, and the rings I encounter with intellect and damage cost about 10 exalteds :/ but i will try farm for that

just noticed now that in the build had 3 jewels and in your build was with 4 x) I will withdraw 2 points in life and put in the jewel, which jewel recommended?


Labs and atziri i can do without any problem , my problem is just shaper x) , the guide is very cool :D it's my 1 cyclone build :D

one thing I noticed in the path of building program after reload my gear and talents and that, it says I do more damage to the shaper with hatred aura than with flammability: /


Sorry the bad english mate

EDIT: SHAPER DOWN :D YEEESSSS , ( i have tried with Hatred Aura )

tried shaper 2 times at 88, got him to phase 3 both times
the 4 bosses preshaper were piece of cake, the two phase minibosses were also easy i was just stupid and didn't position correctly, stacked vortexes everywhere, didn't time my leaps correctly, etc

the damage and defenses are there, i just lack the brains xD

WHAT YOU THINK?

Yes you are right on the Hatred vs Flammability part on Shaper. I didn't realise I did not have configuration changed to Shaper when I was checking your profile out. This is mainly because curse is less effective on Shaper.

And Congrats to the Shaper kill!

Shaper need some practises and once you get the hang of his mechanics, you will be able to down him with enough damage.

And as pointed out by @Larzuk, switching Flammability curse to Hatred vs Shaper gives you more damage.

Looking at your gears, you can upgrade your gloves to a pair with attack speed.

Vaal Pact Changes

Vaal Pact move looks really good for Slayer. You still lose the life regen but with Endless Hunger and Brutal Fervour, it might not have much impact against traps in Uber lab.

Now we have to wait and see if GGG is making any changes to Slayer ascendancy.

Will this be good in 3.1? Xoph's Blood needs breach monsters so does anyone know do 3.1 even have breaches? How far can this go with avatar of fire passive tree or without avatar of fire skill?

In terms of breach spawns, I believe 3.1 will be the same as 3.0. There is a % chance for breach to spawn in maps and you get additional breaches from level 8 Zana map device. Breach drops should be more accessible than harbinger in 3.1.

Without Xoph's Blood and using Avatar of Fire skill tree, you can clear Shaper.

Without Xoph's Blood and not using Avatar of Fire skill tree, the best you can go is probably T16 guardians. Shaper will be very tough.

Thanks for the info i most likely try this build in next league, unless they nerf Slayer ascendancy.

One more question: Which is more important stat in Ngamahu's Flame, attack speed or physical damage? I most likely have to buy one from poe.trade so would be good to know beforehand.
