I’m playing a similar build on a PF just because I think is stronger for the endgame content, you may want to relabel the guide and add a PF tree, basically drop all frenzy stuff and grab more dmg. I did not follow your guide but still my tree looks pretty similar to yours, still looking for the best path to get Alchemist without losing too much dps, maybe it’s pointless since most nodes around it suck but still…Anyway here is my tree in case you want to add it to your guide or someone wants to play PF instead. Take care exiles!

Example T15 permafrozen boss
Shaper kill

You wouldn't perhaps be interested in sharing a PoB link with the folks here? This build looks quite interesting.

Setup used in the shaper video: https://pastebin.com/vjMdPLCx

can open your profile to see? ^^

Hi I'm struggling to finish rare/corrupted tier 11s atm, dying too easily.

Any quick adjustments on my gear I could make?

I have ~100chaos to spend.

Also what should i aim for ultimately.

Other than a 6l, the life on your gear is low. I was aiming for 70-80+, this is a build that struggles to have high enough of a life pool even with a belly of the beast, take getting life on gear far more seriously.

For some reason you have a mana flask when you shouldn't need one. Your damage should be high enough to leech more than you consume. For such a squishy build you have 0 damage mitigation flasks so you are going to be hit really hard. Consider getting a taste of hate or lions roar or even a basalt. Get nothing evasion related since you have the kaoms roots which means you can't evade attacks anyways when you upgrade gear.

This game had an ES meta for a long time, some of the reasons being were flasks were more than good enough to make up for lack of defenses and with the way this game is designed around one shot mechanics nowdays, you need good flasks and as high of an hp pool as possible to survive them. You should be seeing huge improvements using just 1-2 defensive flasks as well as getting more life.

Your flasks are rolled poorly as well. Also what are you doing to mitigate bleed? I imagine you die each time you get hit by a bleed?

I don't understand... in the guide you say that for ascendancy we should take :
Raider: Rapid Assault - Avatar of Chase - Way of the Poacher - Avatar of the Slaughter

However on the passive skill trees, you haven't taken these. What should I do ?

how are you having so much mana regen. I can't cast whirling blades more than 10 times before running out of mana even w/alira mana regen

How do you solo beachhead t15?

Well If you are speaking about dashing through a map, yes, you will always have regen issues on mana with Whirling blades. But if you don't regen enough while in combat, there's a problem somewhere in your build.

I can dash for ever in combat. As soon as you hit with frostblades, you should leech mana and life... Soul Raker does that.

On my side, I dropped a nice jewel +15dex / 5% AS while dual wielding / 7% max life. Since I am still using Iron reflexes, I have done a little respec : I dropped the two lower life nodes near Thick Skin and took the three nodes near Point Blank to get more evasion and the jewel node. It got me an additionnal 1% phys reduction (thanks to Iron Reflexes) and a DPS boost for only 1% life loss.

Also, you could grab Heat of Oak.

Also also, again : you already have Kaom's roots equipped. You have 4.6k life, but your armour is really low. You have only have 21% phys reduction, which is kinda low if you don't have an insane life pool.

To be honest, at T12 against some bosses, I am focused as hell to not do any mistake, even with 61% phys reduction. So even with 4.6k life, I'm pretty sure that you see a lot of one shot on your part.

And for now I really don't feel the need to switch to Kaom's roots since I'm almost never stunned. Deaths are mostly due to one shots because of the health pool.

You should always check all the things that allows you to survive. If you sacrifice evasion with Unwavering Stance, you should have a lot of life / ES and armour. If you sacrifice armour, you should have a lot of life / ES and ton of evasion.

If you don't have much of everything, even with res capped, that's a pretty deadly gamble on some bosses :]
