For those who went with the unnatural instinct route, is it really worth it?

I was able to kill uber elder and I clear maps pretty fast. I still die from occasion, but I'm wondering if the 17 ex investment is worth it?

I went with the UN MotM (sold a double Anger watcher's eye off my first Elder kill to fund this) route about 2 weeks ago and absolutely love love love love the movespeed. Been just doing maps and memories and gaining cash with no real spend since.

This movespeed business went over the top yesterday when I happened to find this pair of boots that someone was selling for 12ex, and a Devoto's dropped for me. I then added on a Phase Run just to go infinity+1 :P

For me, definitely worth it :D

The next step is to fiddle around with the Gloves/Belt/Ring. Does anyone know whether Atziri's Acuity is better/worse than the crafted gloves that people have been linking?

I haven't actually killed Uber Elder before (last season I failed a couple of times), but plan to swap back to Starkonja's to do that next.

Is it possible to get your tree or POB link?

Yup. With Unnatural Instinct and MotM the 3.5 Level 98 tree is accurate.

I respecced my Divine Ire build to this one and it's been really fun so far once I got all the gear I needed.

I still have 90ex to spend still and plan on this being my last build of the league. I just want to make sure I didn't mess anything up when I swapped all the gear/passives last night before I further optimize

My atacks per second is like 5.4 but I feel like I'm doing enough damage. Is that odd? When I take off my onslaught boots I still have 4.7 APS and I'm using 8% attack speed cospri so I don't know how I would get that low.

Got some upgrades on my SSF version (gearwise, I trade currency). Found a carcass jack and 6-linked it with all the fuses I gathered up to this point (only needed about 400). Boosted me a lot compaired to the Tabula!

Also crafted a pretty good dagger and shield with lots of damage. The big damage with 5k healtch and 500 es is really good enough currently to do up to level 13 maps deathless. Bosses are no problem at all either, same with betrayal encounters. Also did double dominus in Palace map and stuff.

Didn't expect it to work so well ssf without Lyco and Cospri, but luckily it really does!

Hi!
Should my cyclone be less then 3attacks per second or which skill? Thanks!
Also, after 14% CD recovery it's should be less then 3.75, right?

Can anyone take a look at my char and suggest what next upgrade should it be?

I'm thinking gloves?

P.S Just dropped Atziri's Acuity (fight was easy with medicore gear, died few times cause messed up myself, one time from reflect, and to times cause didn't managed to jump out of flameblast.)
But as I see in thread, noone is using Acuity, not worth it? Crafted gloved is better?

Really loving this build and I want to take it to 100. Anyone have any suggestions on improvements? (I know there's a lot of room on my elder ring but I haven't unlocked all the crafts yet)

for bosses

Hi what can be improved?
I've seen the GIF earlier and I don't have the same experience
I Use UN and 2x Might of Meek setup

Hit 99 the other day and may push 100. Build is really solid and guide helped flesh out the important parts very clearly. I modified certain aspects of the build to better match my playstyle and preferences. My only real remaining upgrades are a double-corrupted Pandemonius (also with cold leech like my current one), a 2-line Hatred watchers with the clarity line, a double-corrupted Lycosidae with % health, and possibly a strong pseudo-7 link helm for the core CoC setup.





For anyone curious, the main differences between my setup and the guide are the following:

- I use lightning warp. Why? Cause I like it. Any actual benefit? Not really. It just feels good to use and I'm super tired of shield charge / leap slam. It is pretty useful for avoiding decay in Synthesis areas, though. The cheapness of the enchant also enabled me to slam a few and eventually allowed me to get a power charge on helmet which is more or less equivalent to the damage from a +40% Ice Nova damage enchant anyways.

- Hatred / HoI / HoT instead of Enfeeble + Discipline. I valued the additional damage spike from Hatred over Enfeeble and also didn't like that Enfeeble took up 2 gem slots. Not running enfeeble also allows me to run Frostbite on gloves. Hatred also synergizes much better with Commandment of Blades, as it converts some of the phys damage to cold and allows it to shatter enemies more easily. HoT was really the only useful 25% reserve skill I could tack on, but I have to say that HoT with Commandment of Blades is pretty cool and creates a kind of auto-bomb setup that can help clear mobs automatically on occasion.

- I use a cold damage leech pandemonius instead of life leech support. This allows all damage sources to leech (not just the setup in Cospri) and also allows me to swap in Hypothermia on the Cospri setup for additional damage.

- My tree is a bit different and was tailored for what I needed. Perhaps a bit unconventionally, I go up the top of the Witch area instead of through the middle of it.

- My mana management comes from "- mana" lines. Between -9 on the ring and -10 off the watcher's eye, Cyclone is full spammable even with most crazy headhunter speed buffs. I was concerned this would conflict with the "Spend 200 mana to get frenzy charge" corrupt on Cospri's, but between Vortex and Lightning Warp casts, frenzy charges are still fully stacked.

- I am able to forego the frostbolt unique jewel due to the Cospri corrupt. This just frees up another jewel slot.
