CAn post video while mapping? To doing 4x cannibal, the clear is compared to solar guard?

How's this?

I rarely run T16 UGS, so I'm a bit slow navigating the map.

I have a couple of questions .
I’m currently sitting at 6200 life, working on getting more , 1k energy shield , level 93.
My tree is identical to yours if that helps.
Res is maxed .
1) deep delves , I find even as low as depth 300 the random ice spikes sometimes 1 shot me . Does this happen to you as well or is there something I can do to defend myself against this .
2) playsryle. When delving , do you hide behind your minions ? And ignore flame dash unless your in trouble ? Or do you flame dash into a pack , hit convocation immediately and rinse/repeat.
3) is running rumi flask and taste of hate recommended at all for defence or do you feel the other flasks in the guide are better defensively .

I think I can answer you questions with a deep delve recording (622 to 624):

At the start, I send my minions forward using Storm Brand. You can see the ice spikes shoot up and me standing clear of them. Once I've got 3 frenzy charges, I use phase run + quicksilver to run through/past/around everything. I try to stick to the walls as an added safety measure. By doing this, I avoid all the on-death effects and any aoe attacks (like truong's spinny tail or fireball thing). I run ahead of the cart, predicting where the cart will go, and when I get to a junction I sometimes do a little loop so the cart can catch up, or I just trust my instincts (and sometimes get it wrong). When I get to a node, I make sure it's clear, then use vaal summon skeletons and run around the edges.

I find this playstyle works better than going slowly and playing defensively because there are so many sources of incoming damage. If you rely on defensive flasks, there's still a percentage chance one of the hundreds of monsters will land a killing blow.

yep, the clear speed is better than with solar guard.. and full run to uber atizri, do you have?

I might be completely missing it, but where does the Unending Hunger jewel go?

Thanks!

:~)

I cannot even survive a level 1 map very easily.

All your gems are very low level. Your desecrate can only summon up to a level 50 spectre. Level up your gems and you will see a huge difference.

I am not using this exact build as I went for the phase acrobatics but with these minions and gems all lvl 20 and high quality they are doing 1.5m per spectre. The quality and lvl of your gems really matter.

--------------

This build / gem combination with dual curse just MELTS bosses and i still haven't even crafted a 95% minion dmg wand with increase minion attack/cast speed yet. My tree has a %540 minion damage modifier with my sub par items.

As I said I didn't follow this build but use a +1 curse amulet instead for the dual curse and tried out this gem setup on my gear in my tree and WOW. I went from 1 - 2 min a a boss phase kill to just seconds.

It is amazing to see the end game bosses just melt before they can even kill you but I do get 1 shot and my life isn't as high as this builds because all my jewels give no life and just %minion dmg. I will give this a go for a league starter for sure next go around. Thanks for the post and build. Good Job.

Nice build btw. Going to be really handy for a league starter guide.

Unfortunately I didn't record the full run, just the Atziri kill.

Oh, great!

Although, I just realised I uploaded the wrong tree image so Unending Hunger isn't in the jewel slot!

As crwildman said above, your desecrate gem is only level 10, so it limits your spectre to level 50. Raise Spectre is limited to the level of the corpse on the ground.

As a general rule, you want at least level 15 desecrate and raise spectre when you start mapping (level 65 spectres).

If you want to buy them and save some money, just get level 19 desecrate and raise spectre; they will give you level 81 spectres.

I think the rest of your gear is fine; at this point of the league it's hard to buy new gear because a lot of people have taken a rest before the next league starts. If you need a bit more hp, refund the passives for 'whispers of doom' (+1 curse) and path into 'tireless' (will give +20% life).

Also, increased damage craft on your ring doesn't apply to your spectres.

Lastly, you might want to keep your 'cast when damage taken' at level 1. We want to use phase run as a self-cast to boost run speed.

Thanks for checking the build out. I've always liked the idea of 'the best defence is a stong offence', so this build is really all about pumping dps as high as it can go without becoming a glass cannon. I only play one build per league, because I go for 40/40, so I need a reliable build that does everything well.

Of course, there's a lot of flexibility in PoE, so I'm glad if my build is able to inspire people to modify it to their needs while still pushing their spectre dps as high as possible.

I hope you enjoy using it next league!

I have a quibble with the DPS numbers. The PoB has "your minions killed recently" checked. But during shaper fight that is most often not true. Thus the true shaper DPS is quite a bit lower than the quoted.

DPS is clearly good even still, but I like "realistic" PoB settings.
