I only have two pens and inpulsa, and im using the recommended unique staff for single target while I'm accruing currency, but I'm having issues with sustain against single targets, and also against packs while clearing in some cases. Until I can afford Berek's or my two pens or the Mind of the Council, how should I go about sustaining life, especially against bosses?

You seem to be forgetting about sustaining mana, which is equally important as life in this build.

Therefore, asides the 2 Pens MotC is the most vital item in the entire build, without which you really shouldn't even try playing it tbh, since not having it renders your MoM almost entirely useless which essentially reduces your EHP by ~40% (from ~7k to ~4k in most cases).

Berek's can be temporarily replaced by a leech enchant on your boots, but MotC is simply irreplaceable.

Depending on the map tier you're running it may be better if you just skip bosses until you obtain the weapon swap Pens.

great bild. I have a question, you have barrage and frenzy, and 1 gem separately in armor, explain to me the rule. what you use for mobs and what for the boss, for what you replace this 1 gem in armor, thank you

I use only Barrage for map clearing, and most bosses. On really high HP bosses you can resort to Frenzy until you have 3 frenzy charges, and then switch to Barrage.
Be careful tho, when using Frenzy your survivability is substantially lower, since it's not linked to Life Gain on Hit.

The unlinked Armour socket is generally used for a golem of your choice, or anything else you find suitable to your playstyle.. Could be a curse for manual casting, Ice Wall, anything really.

hey, gonna start this. any additional list of lvling items please :p

I guess this isn't too bad for a corruption? Or is the 15% spell damge more worth?
Have just started this build.

I've tried both of these hoping to have an impact:


But I keep going back to these non-corrupted ones:

Very good build, having a lot of fun with this. Being able to do tier 12 maps at level 75 is some pretty nasty stuff haha.

Lvl 93 here, did my first ever Shaper kill with this build.

I'm a casual (in term of time I can pour into gaming) player, and this build has been:
- Incredibly fun.
- Very tanky, maybe too much so: since I could facetank everything more or less up to T13-14 bosses, I was surprised when I started dying at that stage. My flame dash reflexes were thus very very bad.
- Very apt at generating currency to evolve.

The only bad thing I have to say about this build is that I really hate flame dash, it sucks so bad. Everything else (clear, single target damage, tankyness) is awesome, so thanks a ton to the OP :-)

Now on to other things I have never done in this game (like 100% atlas, HotGM, etc.).
Will not even try U-Atziri as normal Atziri already kills me if I'm not 100% concentrated, which I'm almost never.

Is it worth it to use mf gear on higher tier maps or will it just make me get killed?

My first impression of this build is: WHAT THE ALMIGHTY F*** IS HAPPENING?

With Level 73 I did my first tier 9 map (temple) and was finished in like... 4 minutes? 3? Including incursion and collecting somes stuff.

This is faster than ele claw magma. Faster than BV. Faster than anything I have seen so far in terms of clearing maps.
You just teleport every 1/2 second or so, each time annihilating, nay, DISINTEGRATING a whole mob group and often more than that because of arc jump into neighbouring groups.
You are insanely fast-moving, nothing can compare. I have done all other movement skills and warp with poet is definitely fastest.
Incredible.

Of course, there's a downside: single target DPS are average at best, but at least it's quite safe due to MoM and helmet symbiosis keeping your mana topped at all times.

So yeah, really love it although not a build for starters. Plan 4-5 ex for basic gear, then very wide possibilties to burn your currency for 5 ex amulet (choir) and ever better jewels. A decent one with crit multi and other damage stats costs 50 chaos upwards. Have fun ;)

Oh and incursions... keep finishing with 30+ seconds left. This build is so unbelievable in there.

11/10, <3 it.

Just finished my first ever Uber Elder with this build. :)
