No endurance charges though, so dunno if anyone with this build would want them.

E.g.

I would, as I am level 100 already and endurance charges are useless to me pretty much. Just care about damage right now.

Tbh, endurance charges are just a nice bonus on top of everything else, i didn't focus on getting them for a second while leveling and clearing all content possible - I had them only for a while when i couldn't craft damage instead.

If you're just going for damage, I would focus on first getting a T1 damage roll before multi-modding those rings. Should be crafting with deafening essences of envy or going for a T1 spell damage roll with a shaper ring. Alternatively, just go for mark of the shaper + an elder ring for the highest overall damage potential from your ring slots. Would also look at changing up your skill tree a bit to run a large cluster + an additional med cluster for more dps.

Drop Soul Strike, get a +life + double DoT quiver. Get an amulet that gives Increased DoT and +1 chaos / int gems. Drop vertex, get a 300+ ES hubris that has -9% to nearby enemies chaos res. Not sure why you have a dying sun(???) or rumi's concoction, we dont rely on projectiles and are not a block-based build. Buy some divines and get a better roll on Hyrri's Ire. Your right ring could be better, would drop and go for better rolls (spell dmg / chaos dmg / life + ele res as needed). Not sure if you have a way to gen Onslaught atm, would pick up an abyssal jewel that allows you to do that. Would also re-work your skill tree a bit to pick up at least 1 large cluster jewel with 2 med cluster jewels off of it.

A decent ES helmet base with ilvl 85+ and the ED enchant is outrageously expensive. I’m guessing the -9% chaos res is a bigger dps boost since we get so much increased spell and chaos damage from other sources.

May go for 40/40 this league, but pretty much done tbh. Build worked really well for me and cleared all content pretty easy.
Thanks for the guide, made it easy to farm boss, etc for currency. Only items i bought off the market were the watchers eye for 50ex and Hyrri's base, everything else was self-found and crafted; including farming the enchant.
Final Gear:

Hey guy, I've been farming sim splinters using alva missions and I have a tier 3 altar of corruption. Thinking about taking a chance and double corrupting my Hyrri's or my shav's. Maybe thinking about selling though, so if anyone has something that they really want to double corrupt PM me and I will sell for whatever the going rate is. Not sure how much they're worth at this point in league.

Amazing gear! Surprised your helmet doesn't have the enchant AND the hunter influence nearby enemies have -9% chaos res. Pretty much the only upgrade you could make at this point, lol!

Thanks again to the OP. Starting to effectively scale my damage and kill some of the end game bosses. Learned a lot this league and will probably play ED again next league. Enjoy this style much more than necro.

can I have some help on what should I upgrade next? Lvl 92, still dying way more than I expected. So far I'm loving this build mostly because of all the crafting tutorials (ive crafted all my items by myself, so cool), and the clear is really amazing, but i feel so squishy and i have a really bad time killing bosses...









also, do you guys think these two gloves are good for an awakeners slam?
i know culling would be a big help against bosses, but since it doesnt work on DOTs, i thought maybe going for full dots could be a good option too. what do you guys think?




edit: i also would like to know some opinions on what to craft on my stygian belt too, if possible

The essence drain has a projectile that "hits" and will trigger culling strike. You can also trigger culling strike with flame dash. All in all it's equivalent to 10% more damage if you hit an enemy when their health is at exactly 10%, but you won't notice it's effect unless it's a tanky boss.

How does this build compare to a LL or CI variation? Progressed pretty far with this build, but not happy with how it deals with end game content ie. Sirus, uber elder, 100% delirious maps.

The build does hold up in that it can do it, but usually takes a few portals. If anyone has any thoughts or advice that would be helpful as I've been considering switching to a LL/CI variation for a while but haven't gotten a clear idea if it will be any better.

LL has a lot more damage, more eHP, and costs more for end game gear, but it lacks all the dodge and evasion. CI idk, but from what I hear they're very expensive to scale damage. This build isn't very expensive to gear, can do all content, and it’s layers of defense scale really well making it only die to one shots or random delirium corpse explosions. Once you get the BiS bow your damage really explodes. If you want to compare this to optimized LL and CI essence drain builds, check out the Poe.ninja builds section. Keep in mind that those builds are highly min-maxed with incredibly expensive items like bottled faith and watchers eye jewels worth 50ex.
