I'm getting absolutely destroyed in t12s. The build seems much squishier than the Triple Herald BV I had, which I wasn't expecting. All resistances are overcapped and I'm at 4.7k life. What am I doing wrong?

I'm doing T15 without any problem...

do you think mark of the shaper would be an upgrade?

Well I just got 1 shot twice in a row by the Colonnade boss and then died randomly in Defiled cathedral right after. I don't run any Basalt/Stibnite due to Mana flask - is this why?

How are you keeping your leech up? I have similar situation as yours, seem bit squishy. Although it can shred the content but i died 3 times in yellow guardian.

Here is my gear and tree if anyone can advice? I have no issue clearing map but died a few times from yellow guardian

GEAR forgive me on amulet, nothing fancy there




TREE

Frankly I don't know. Apart from the leech in the cospri's I'm not aware of any other this build has? My current tactic is to pop diamond/onslaught and put down the vortex. I don't have pandemonius, which seems like it should increase survivability?

Anyway, I died to Shaped Toxic Sewers boss and to a couple of syndicate ganks (and one confirmed kill by a ranged add). At this point I'm debating scrapping this because I can't justify spending 6+ ex on pandemonius in the hopes that I might stop dying to content I should be facerolling.

EDIT: In regards to the cospri's life leech gem in particular, I'm not seeing it do any kind of reasonable leech to justify its use. It's slow as hell and I doubt it has saved me at any point.

But yes, I agree with you. It seems to destroy trash mobs, but I can't seem to deal with bosses or syndicates (~half the time)

How do we keep our mana up in a no regen map?

Where do we get blind from? My friend is to shy to ask ;P

Pandemonius (the unique amulet) grants us "Blind chilled enemies on hit"

Think people are not giving enough credit to how important Pandemonious is, along with life leech. I can say I did not die once to anything from level 70-92 and at some points was running close to 250mil exp an hour while still doing all map bosses. If you have mana issues go for a viridian jewel with +2 mana on hit or just carry a mana flask, dont use quicksilver on bosses it will just drain your mana faster while changing directions to stay on the bosses. And use flame dash for the surge mana regen.


Edit: One additional note once I hit 92 I got rid of life leech and replaced it with cold Pen in the cospri. Got a watcher eye with Life leech on Vitality and it feels really good.
