Just beat Uber elder, Still need to get better (personal skill) for the fight. Had 4 deaths, so not a nice video to upload yet. But this build is definitely Uber Elder Viable.

Good job.

Some general tips as well for the Uber Elder fight to smooth it out with this build:

1. Kaom's Roots are pretty much a lifesaver when it comes to Elder's Teleport Freeze move. We lose about 8.1~9% damage taking off 'Winds of Change'. But, we can supplement higher life and tri-res gloves (and/or attack speed if your other gear is good enough) in place of our boots for the swap. It'll also give you more life for the fight, albeit making you a bit slower.

Theoretically, if you have 20s phases, that would only slow it to 21.6~ seconds. You could also replace your Kaom's Heart with a Belly of the Beast for slightly less life but more res, or a Loreweave for less Elder freezes.


2. Purity of Ice Level 20 puts you at 79 cold res. While the mana reservation is 35%, it's pretty safe for us to drop our other auras, whatever you may be using, as clarity isn't that important since our totems provide a good amount of mana regen, and we should be aiming not to get hit at all anyway.

If you know you're going to get hit by an icicle, especially his bigger one, this mitigates a ton of damage. Also seeing as you aren't using a loreweave, having 79 cold res the whole fight will majorly increases consistency due to less freezes.


3. We are able to run a versatile flask setup with this build as not many flasks affect us. If you notice you're getting stuck alot on spawning mobs, put on a Quartz flask of Adrenaline. If you are getting caught by Elder's Icicles often, throw on a Sapphire flask for 85% res with PoI. (I'd recommend a Sapphire Flask for the fight regardless, as I see you're running 3 effective life flasks.)


Also, not saying any of these things are 'necessary' at all! If you can get the fight down mechanically, you'll be fine. Just some ideas to make your life a bit easier getting there.

I seem to be missing something huge: Why all the minion nodes? What skill has the minion tag? :o

All in all it's fun so far but I have completely underleveled gems for now so we'll see how it goes. Definitely looks great though :)

Two new nodes near templar.one makes minion attack speed affect you, the other makes minion damage affect you.

Forget the names right now. As im on mobile.
