I have about 50ex to blow on the build and I am thinking I should just get a great watchers eye. What 2 mods would be best? Malevolence damage over time with clarity - mana or malevolance causes you to not take blee ddamage? Or maybe Gain 18% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while affected by Clarity?

Here is my gear. Anything else I should upgrade instead? I already killed uber elder an a8 sirus, just want to max out my character, mostly improving clear speed.

I have two rings for a total of -20 mana cost and have 0 issues with mana. Seeing that you have -27, the additional 7-10 from Watcher's Eye would be overkill imo. I personally use a Watcher's eye with mana regen rate though but will eventually switch over to ES or immune to bleed

I recently went on a 21/23 gem purchasing spree. A lot of them are very affordable (<1 exalt). I'm waiting to get an amulet and do a major rehaul to double large cluster/double meglomaniac. Should increase my unbuffed dot DPS significantly (24k according to POB) at the cost of about 500-600 eHP

Edit: Respecced, and needed to switch to the watcher's eye with -10 mana. I only had 43 mana left and ran out real quick. With the watcher's eye, I regen more than I spend and now mobs are melting ridiculously fast

I am wondering, as many are what to upgrade next?

Oh yeah I have 0 mana issues but what thinking if i go with the watchers eye I can swap to life on my neck.

Has anyone here tried using thread of hope to drop acrobatics but keep phase acro? I would gain 800 es but lose 28% attack dodge. Is it worth?

That starts making sense once you heavily invest into ES, for example use crafted chest with the mod "gain 10% life as extra ES", maybe some cluster jewels with stuff like sublime sensation or vile reinvigoration, if you have 4k life 2k es which is around what this guide builds it's probably not worth it.

I think Hasunic's guide which is another toxic rain spin has crafted chest and thread of hope, but I think to reach the numbers of life / ES he has you'll have to invest more and craft more (and I'm not even counting unnatural instinct that gives extra 15% es 9% life, because that thing skyrocketed after herald stackers started grabbing it, same thing happened with every other item they can use like bottled faith or doryani's boots).

If you have generally low-ish hp pool dodge is probably worth keeping as you're more likely to die to a 1-shot or split second 2-shot. If you have like 4k+ ES then the sacrifice might be too big and it's better to skip acro.

Also wondering why

Isn't used?

Hi guys, I would like to ask for any advice on what I can improve on to make my setup better. Right now im having difficulties with Sirus and some Bosses.

Right now I have 60ex waiting for upgrades. Thank you

I think, i am finished with gearing. I went full cluster jewel and in my opinion cluster jewels are worth it. I mixed this build and hasunics build, so i have CA and TR. Here my gear:

You get insane attack speed and skill duration from the jewels and even bosses in simulacrum wave 20 do not live long.

Feel free to play in my PoB around:

no wither stacks included in the PoB link

This is awesome!
I was wondering if I can afford a bottled faith which flask I could swap

With 60 exalts, you can easily get awakened gems in your weapon as well as 21/23 toxic rain and empower lvl 4

Amulet could be a big upgrade if you had the +1 to chaos skills modifier
I got this for 9 exalts and added in the 16% chaos damage


Gloves are missing damage over time and watcher's eye doesn't have damage over time modifier are two other major upgrades

Sirus is all about dodging. Once you get the fight down, you can easily one shot him and all gear does is make you kill him faster. I believe I was one-shotting him somewhat comfortably at 150k buffed dps, and now I destroy him at 295k dps

Tbh bottled faith is extremely overpriced this season same with unnatural instict due to herald stackers abusing both, and this isn't even a crit build so half the flask effect is wasted. I would consider those only if you have literally nothing else to buy / upgrade.

It has 0 life on it, you can probably craft something with high evasion / life if you want to focus on that. Also I've seen someone on reddit showcase a dodge crafted chest with Deafening Essence of Loathing, so that's possible too.

Thank you so much for your suggestion, Right now I have 5ex left. Will keep this for emergency cases. I have upgraded the following per your advice:




And a watchers Eye with Chaos damage ( Male )
Non chanelling with clarity ( 27ex )

The only thing I haven't upgraded from your advice are the awakened gems. Are those the last thing i need to work on? Thank you
