Can someone explain why noone takes Paragon of Calamity to be immune to elemental reflect? I'm confused.

Because you lose clear speed to be immune at elemental reflect.I think is better dodge elemental reflect map and have better clear speed.

If you need a passive Tree that works for Delve, you can take mine.

Couldn´t get chimera yet, other guardians were easy, even facetanking mino. Red shaper was easy too. With some decent placing you can despawn two portals in phase 2 at once. Piece of cake. Looking forward for uber elder.
This build is awesome.

Thanks,
I'm going to aim at this
I added Melding cluster as last four levels.

I did try to switch for elemental reflect.
When taking away Beacon it kills your damage from the missing prolif.
When taking away the Herald effect it kills your damage with missing pen.
And you only gain reflect immunity ...

Not a good deal.

There's actually very little change to clear speed. With taking PoC instead of MoD, the main thing you'll lose is the 25% lightning penetration which hurts against single targets for the most part. You can mitigate that to some extent by using an Essence Worm ring with Wrath along with a Watcher's Eye with lightning pen. I was able to easily do all content except uber elder with that setup. Here's the close to final PoB for my char: https://pastebin.com/L6KNGKD6

Fixed path of building, skilltree and formatting issues.

i need 4 poets pens with this build?

Is this build still viable for all content(Uber Elder & Shaper especially)? Saw some mixed comments at the last few pages of this thread.

Also, in your PoB, i see Loreweave instead of Inpulsa, whats the reason behind it?

You can do it with 3, just change out the lightning warp pen with your ball lightning pen when you need the big single target damage.

IT can do uber elder, but you need to actually interact with the content and do mechanics. Loreweave comes with increased max res, which is arguably the strongest defensive thing in the game. It also comes with generic ele damage and crit chance. It's a very solid chest for this build.

I never saw an UberElder kill from this Build in the entire thread tbh.

Switching over to a different Chest for the boss is actually kinda neat. ^^ I think every build that struggels with him can do that I guess?

Several people have messaged me and told me about their uber elder kills. You may find a few testimonies if you go like 50 pages back..

Anyways, there is a video here of a similar build (as ascendant) doing uber elder. Just so you can get an idea of what the fight looks like:

Myself, I have gotten U.elder down <10% hp, but was unable to finish the deed.
