I think I'm at a sort of ceiling with this build. I am broke, a couple chaos orbs to my name. It seems I need several exalted orbs to make marginal improvements. The problem is, I can only barely complete T9 maps. I usually die a few times at that. I need to be able to clear higher maps in order to get currency to change my gear based on suggestions posted in this thread. But without that gear, I can't complete higher tier maps. :(

I believe my profile is public so you can see a lot of what I have available to me right now. I'm just not sure how to progress forward into the higher tier maps so that I can afford gear to get stronger.

You are not following the gems setup in the guide. Check the gems section and ensure you are using that. Just using the correct setup will greatly increase your damage.

You want life rolls on all your jewels. Abyssal jewels will be preferred because of the high life % nodes that the build utilizes.

You want Wave on Conviction linked to Cast When Damage Taken. That will further improve your damage.

You will also want your chaos resist to be at least 50%. Otherwise your character will die a lot.

You want 6000 life at level 90 too.

Get Rampart for amulet anointment for more survivabiliy.

Instead of Flammability, use a level 11 Enfeeble instead.

Change your life flask to Bubbling Divine Life Flask of Staunching. Replace Lion's Roar with anti-curse granite flask. You only use Lion's Roar on end game boss.

Hello! Can this build close all current content?

Short answer, yes.

Ensure your chaos resist is at least 50%.

hello
i wanted to thank you for this great build,
i have a question: do i have to reach reach 50% chaos?
i currently have 5.5k hp with xoph and 2046 armor
i usually run t11 maps(still collecting watchstones and finally got to cap my elemental res, then noticed i have to reach 50 chaos im currently at -15%.
i only die to chests freeze and sometimes i feel my hp runs out fast and not recover fast enough during certain bosses and cant kill them without using flasks(i usually dont use any flask). i still didnt buy any of the mentioned flasks and using what i have
edit: i allocated vaal pact and my survivability went up dont know if there is a reason for not including it but just wanted to let you know(according to in-game char life leack modifier is 260%).also i forgot to mention i mostly run with bisco and not xoph for mapping and awitch to xoph for unique bosses like atziri or guardians. is it still possible to kill sirus with 5L carcass?

Spoiler

Your character profile is hidden so I can't take a closer look.

You will probably do fine with 30+ chaos resist but personally, I prefer 50+ minimum.

To get chaos resist, you can get it from rings, gloves, belt, and boots.

If the slot has open suffix, you can craft chaos hybrid on those slots too.

Based on the gears you linked, you will want higher life rolls on them.

Consider getting a warlord influenced Spiked gloves with rolls similar to this:


You need anti-freeze quick silver flask. Pop that when you hit a strongbox and you will not be frozen.

Vaal Pact is not needed if you use your flasks frequently in the combat. Flasks greatly improve your character survavibility. Flasks are pretty much mandatory in POE.

I would just stick to Xoph's Blood for mapping and bossing.

You will want to quality your gems. Just having 20% quality alone will give you more damage.

5L to beat Sirus is possible, but you will be fighting him with at least 40% lower damage. Which means the fight will take 40% longer time to clear. The longer a fight takes, the more chances of you to fail in the fight.

I would drop Ancestral Protector from your helm and use Multitotem instead.

For anointment, Rampart will help to improve your survivability too.

Hey guys,

im finally posting here :)

First of all i wanna thank you for that great build and all the related content!
Im at a point where i dont know what to upgrade next as there are tons of ways to improve. You can all see my profile rite?
Im just at 1000 armor and my chaos res is far from being okish..

I was thinking of getting new gloves+boots next. Is it better to switch colors between them? And are my gems still the best fit or should i consider a new setup?

without tombfist and elemental weakness on them is it still good to run watchers eye or are there better jewels out there for a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance, always happy to learn something new!
if you guys need more information, just let me know :)

Your character profile is set to private so I am not able to give it any assessment.

You can check out the "Recommended Rares" section for gloves.

Don't forget to look at the endgame gems for Cyclone setup under Gems section too.

In 3.9, you no longer need curse on hit gloves. Instead you can craft end game ring for the build.

E.g.

You can anoint Whispers of Doom for +1 curse.

Hi kira,

tanks for replying!

Sorry, its hard to see that the private characters box is checked.. should work now.

And sorry that you had to repeat whats already in the first post, seems like some passages changed since i read it last and i didnt notice^^

I will look for such a ring, is crafting one myself a good idea? (like discribed in the recommended section) since im not crafting that much i got no idea, but im guessing its kinda expensive to do so^^

Now that my profile is public, you can see, that some of my gear is far from being endgame viable. I can clear up to tier 13 so far, but now its getting harder. So what do you think would be the first items i should spend money on?

The two endgame gems would be more or less in range of my currency, but i think its better to first concentrate on new gloves+belt and get my res overcapped for taste of hate?

Im also thinking of spending ~1ex to anoint my amulet with tenacity...
(But if im getting the mentioned ring curses ofc whispers of doom has priority)

Looking at your profile, I recommend you picking up more life % nodes instead of damage nodes. You want 6000 life at level 90.

I would replace Emprean Solace jewel. You want life rolls on all jewels if possible.

Lightning damage on Hollow Thirst jewel is only at 50% efficiency. You can look into replacing that too. I recommend replacing that jewel with a medium ring Thread of Hope. This will allow you to drop Red Dream jewel and pick up Disciple of Unyielding + Disciple of Slaughter without pathing to it.

I recommend dropping mf gears and go for damage + defence gears instead. Killing fast = more loot.

Bubbling Divine flask of Staunching is recommended.

I would use an anti-freeze quick silver flask instead of Rogut.

Replace Lion's Roar with anti-curse granite flask. You will use Lion's Roar on end game bosses.

Also, you are using the old Cyclone setup. Check out the gems section for the latest setup.

Instead of Belt of Deceiver, a Hunter/Elder influenced Stygian belt would be better.

On regards of the double curse on hit ring, I would try crafting it. You can use a Hunter orb on ilvl 80+ Opal ring and just any ilvl 80+ Warlord ring for crafting, or vice versa.

Hi,

first of all, thank you for this detailed analysis! :) I really appreciate it!

So would you actually recommend regreting some nodes for the life nodes in the center?

jewel wise i will start looking for some new stuff! i think i can get decent ones for some bucks.. to be honest, the hollow thirst jewel was just laying around and i thought some extra damage might come handy :D
Should i compensate for the -10% all res of thread of hope with jewels or with equipment?

mf gear was just a left over and i wanted to wait till i know wich ring will be reasonable to replace it. (actually i remembered from earlier times, that increased drop quality aint that good for mf and quantitiy wise that ring sucks :D)

i will look out for a new flask setup asap and go for the new gem setup. So i have to get a 4R1B1G link chest, right? As far as i remember, bronns would be more on dps side while carcass is more of a balanced armour, so i would stay with a carcass jack for now.

I actually switched the belt a couple of hours ago for a stygian, mb you could look at it? (and have a laugh ^^ wasnt that expensive tbh)

poedb says elemental weakness is one of 3 outcomes of ilvl80 ring with hunter orb, so i can calculate roughly with having to buy 3 hunters orbs for the first step? I think with my current 5ish exalt in stash thats a little expensive to go for..

Thanks again and have a great day!

edit: 1 moar question: wich nodes should i drop for yielding and slaughter?
