So slight problem-

While I was waiting your reply I picked up

.

I think I'm stuck with flammability now. Would there be any other way to add Anger to the build as well without sacraficing anything major?

Here is my gear now-

Spoiler

Should I still get Watchers Eye?

Now that I have 6-linked my chest I need to re-assess my upgrade priorities.

I still need Dying Sun- I would imagine at this point that is #1 on my list? I also need to upgrade my jewels that are socketed in my passive tree as they aren't very good.

So Dying Sun - > Jewels(Watcher's Eye still??)-> ? -> ?

I would go for Watcher's Eye first instead of Dying Sun. The extra fire damage from it is better.

And since you are not running dual curse, you should drop Windscream boots for a pair of good rare boots instead.

Since you own Xoph's Blood, use that and you don't have to get Impresence anymore.

Also, check out the recommended gears section, I have updated 2 viable amulet setup that you can follow that. :)

How does people hold their mana up?

- Is there a skill or talent point that does something? Im having trouble living without a mana pot! :)

Your character is hidden so I am not able to assess your profile.

Ensure you pick up the 0.4% mana leech node near Vitality Void (as shown in the skill tree). That is enough to handle your mana issue.

This build is amazing, first league I have managed to kill shaper and I was only level 86 and most of my gems aren't level 20 yet.

What would you guys upgrade next? Saving for a dying sun and taste of hate?

This is my pastebin https://pastebin.com/D9e15TNP

Besides Dying Sun and Taste of Hate, Watcher's Eye with extra fire damage is the next upgrade you can consider. Check out Recommended Gears section for aura setup of Xoph's Blood + Watcher's Eye.

Your boots and gloves can be upgraded with better values too.

Getting 21/20 on your gems and the helm enchant is also worth considering. :)

Do you guys feel watcher's eye with double anger mod adds enough to the build to be worth the steep price? Currently over 20ex on poe.trade

You don't need it to clear content but it is pretty much the last piece that will push your damage to the extreme.

Price wise, it will be how much you are willing to pay for that last piece.

I put a Tabula Rasa on and, beefed up my totem for leveling. My aim with Sunder wasn't always right on target. It didn't seem such a chore.

Uber Lab is where I'm having problems. I imagine that I need to rethink how I set the char up, defensively and offensively for that specific battle. First time I tried, I was one-shot in the first battle.

The flasks used for Uber lab is crucial to your survival. Your flasks are not following the recommended setup. Check out the flask section.

Also, you will want 5500 life to run Uber lab comfortably.

is flame golem or lightning better for this build? I see some people run either...

Either is fine. Lightning golem should provide a little bit more damage.

Not fully understanding some of the suggested gear. Could someone clarify what I should be aiming for with auras/blasphemy curses? The section with Impresence, Watchers Eye, Essence Worm, Anger, Flammability is making me turn my head.

Thank you for your feedback.

I have updated the Recommended Gears section to make it simpler for new players to understand so do check it out again. :)

So in a 3r2b1g bronn's we should be running conc effect instead of increased?

For mapping and leveling, Increased Area, for T16 and end game boss, Concentrated.

Hi there,
First of all, really thank you for build guide, so fun to play and to learn certain boss mechanics. Was able to kill shaper and U-Atziri for first time so thank you.

Here is link for PoB for my char or you can see it on my profile:

https://pastebin.com/ndXuPCPj

I am interested in watcher's eye, is it worth to buy with just added fire mod since jewel with two anger mods is so damn expensive (at least for me). On PoB i saw that droping flammability for anger gave almost same results.

I am still missing Helm enchant, but that is only because I am lazy atm for lab farm or buying proper helm with enchant.

Personally i dislike golems so any suggestions to switch that gem. I saw a comment for molten shell, Is it worth to put it on CWDT setup.

Any suggestions on gear upgrade (if there is room for upgrade :D) would be appreciated.

Anyways thank you kira for awesome build guide.

Congrats to killing Uber Atziri and Shaper. :)

Yes. It is definitely worth it to buy Watcher's Eye with just the extra fire mod.

You can replace Golem with Vengeance gem.

Going 3R2B1G on your Bronn will raise your damage significantly but it can cost a lot of chromatics.

Just bought a Xoph's yesterday (sold a 6L Bronn for it... :D). I have a roughly 200 chaos budget left; is my next upgrade a 6L? What else do I upgrade?

Yes. Next big upgrade will definitely be 6L.

You can consider replacing your helm with Devoto, or Starkonja if you needed the life pool. Otherwise, better rolls on your rare slots.

Thanks for reply and tip.

Before i check (busy otherwise atm), does vengeance work with curse on hit?

And atm I am satisfied with dmg with current colors on chest and have other things to do before that :D

Just upgraded to Xoph's Blood and snagged a sexy ele weakness on hit glove, is my next upgrade 6L, Dying Sun or Taste of Hate? I already have Watcher's Eye. Have 6ex budget atm.

First of all, thanks for the awesome guide!

I rerolled early in the league once I found this guide and I'm currently having lots of fun with this build. Just bought a 6L Bronn's, after leveling up with a Belly I got from a friend, and the damage increase was insane. Only problem is I'm finding myself kind of low on armour. Boots/gloves are self crafted.

Tips on how to improve my build further are greatly appreciated!

Also, I GCP-reciped most of my damage increasing gems except a few im not sure if i should:
Added Fire damage, GMP and Blood rage.

Thanks!

Hi, recently made this build and having a lot of fun with it. I am new to the game and struggling with trying to find upgrades for my gear. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to upgrade my gear for more damage? Thanks.

Got bored of my Skyforth CI Wander so I went back to my league starter and bought him a 6L belly. The build is pretty fun. Still struggling on Shaper as a melee character (because my only experience prior was HowA ST in Breach) but the build is solid. I'm not sure my numbers are even close to the guide, but it works for now and I'll continue to upgrade. Taste of Hate is definitely my next purchase.



Anyway I'd appreciate any feedback as I still think I'm missing a few things to beef up my damage. But otherwise, thanks for the guide @kira1414, very fun build! And this was my league starter so, it's good for that too!

Any chance someone could look over my char and tell me where my next upgrade is? I feel like since I switched to Xoph's I do less damage.

Ok so I finally started upgrading my gear as suggested by Kiva and others. I have a question tho. I can't run enfeeble and flammability at the same time unless I get windscream, but as you can see I do lose out on a good deal of resists and life, what should I do? I was thinking I should drop enfeeble and run flam and anger. Maybe swap out to enfeeble on boss fights?

hi, can someone please clarify on the guide a few things?

once you acquire watcher's eye, do you run flammability + herald of ash + anger? does the enlighten support gem help with having enough mana for that? or do you drop flammability altogether until you get tombfist with elemental weakness on hit?

please advise!

I haven't try linking Vengeance with Curse on Hit but I have a gut feel it won't work because it is auto trigger. GGG likes to make players use their fingers to play the game. :)

Yes. Your next big upgrade will be 6L (~ 40% more damage). Follow by Dying Sun and Taste of Hate.

I am running the build in SSF with 1000 armor, with Granite and Basalt flasks, I am able to do Uber lab full key run (including Argus, dark shrines, and gauntlets) without much issue.



I have knockback on Basalt so that Argus will not have chance to hit me when the flask is active.

Your gears look great and only 2 big upgrade that I see will be Xoph's Blood, and re-coloring your 6L Bronn to 3R2B1G (very difficult to color).

One thing I do notice now that I started running Uber Lab in 3.1, is that the changes to Brutal Fervour does make traps a little scary at times. So I will recommend players to carry 1 anti-bleed flask just for the traps.

I see that you are using Diamond flask. This build don't require that so you can replace it with Basalt flask instead.

I also notice that you do not have anti-freeze, roll that on your Quick Silver flask or you will find yourself dying to strongboxes that freezes.

Check out the recommended gears section for amulet + aura setup that gives great buff to the build's damage. If you are on a budget, I recommend you to use setup 2.

Get your gems to 20/20 and 6L Bronn will be your next biggest damage boost.

I recommend you to roll anti-freeze on quick silver and anti-curse on granite flask.

Besides Taste of Hate, Watcher's Eye will buff your damage too. Check out recommended gears section for the recommended setup for Xoph's Blood + Watcher's Eye.

Your gears are pretty good. Did you switch Increased Area to Concentrated for end game boss fights? You will see significant increase in your damage.

I would recommend you to replace 1 of your granite flask with Wise's Oak. Armor provided by granite flasks don't stack so you are wasting a flask slot over there.

I see that gems in your axe are mostly without quality. Get them to 20/20 and you will see the balls hit harder.

I have updated the recommended gears on the 2 different amulet + aura setup that you can follow.

In fact, for regular mapping and leveling, use Enfeeble and drop Flammability. If you are doing Shaper, drop Enfeeble for Flammability.

With Enfeeble, you will still have no issues clearing T16 guardians.

Check out amulet + aura setup 1 listed in recommended gears section.

If you have Xoph's Blood and Watcher's Eye, you will basically drop Flammability aura (with or without Elemental Weakness on hit gloves) and use Anger and Herald of Ash instead.
