[3.14] Gannicus, God of the Arena – Deathless Uber Elder for Everyone

"
I'm feeling squishy in my tabula now, so i need to upgrade my chest armor. I'm looking at a Belly of the Beast, but I don't have the currency to buy a 6L. I can however, afford a 5L. What support is best to drop? I have checked the DPS tooltip and there will be a significant drop in DPS as expected, but I don't know how to factor in all the rage, close combat etc.


get a 6L body armor with like 90-100hp & some resistences, usually pretty cheap. I was looking yesterday and say around 60chaos.

For your weapon, yeah if that's just one mod, atleast roll an augmentation orb see what second magic mod you get. If it's good, regal.

I'll keep rolling that sword then! Got this little piece of armor for 15c, gonna go for something better later, but this will do for now, i got capped resistances with my tabula already, so now, since the new armor piece has resistances, I can look at some improvements for my other gear slots. Thansk!
Did my first deathless L8 awakener... near maxblock is really good this league.

I was playing this https://pastebin.com/x94aL5zC but basic principle is the same just do your own thing while you block most things.

I actually just made it from the my old duel wielding near maxblock glad which I played earlier in the league while the storms were still broken.

Thanks for such a detailed guide. I've been playing for about a year, one character per league, but I still feel lost about many things and I completely depend on guides like this. Thank you!

Since I couldn't find any good rares for sale I attempted to craft my own sword, but it was my first craft ever and the result is barely any better than Rigwald's Command. I followed the brief instructions in the crafting section, but am I right that there should be possible to have more modifiers on it? And if so, what did I do wrong? Should I have been using essences and fossils instead of Regal Orbs?


Crafting is generally an expensive sport. If you're not sure how to do it just follow the instructions in the gear section and get a normal sword+rigwald's and some block chance elsewhere.
Regarding your current sword, you can exalt it to add another mod.

Im in love with this build bro, thanks for sharing <3


No prob, thanks for the thumbs up.

Crafting for the first time, is this good? Shall I regal this? Anything specific i should look for? Any tips? (I read the crafting section)


No, this is totally useless. We only can about physical damage. Don't waste your money on crafting if you don't know what you're doing. Check the gear section for alternatives.

Been messing around with some changes. Swapped from close combat to impale support. With that I've also switched to lacerate. I don't think it quite competes with single target dps, but does feel better with maps. Keeping a bit of a distance vs bosses is also nice.
The idea of this build is a tanky bosskiller and I don't think you can find a better skill than bladestorm for that. Clear is ok but not great. But if clear is what you're looking for then it's way better to play a bow or spell caster. Melee will never be able to compete against that. Even Lacerate of Reave which are not real melee.
Of course in the end the only thing that matters is if you're enjoying the game.

Yeah for sure. I might swap back to bladestorm soon, just felt like mixing it up a bit to try things out. I was playing a glacial hammer berserker for a bit. Clear speed & single target both pretty decent (swapping ancestral call of course), but i find the build up of berserker not as nice. I may try a champion build with lacerate, we'll see.

If I'm using a skill marked melee, usually feels melee enough for me :)
Wondering if it's worth investing the 2ex for a 21/23 close combat support gem.

Hard to get an idea of gains since it's not supported by PoB. Anybody with experience have any idea?

Struggling to find damage upgrades right now it's one of my few gems that is still 20/20



Edit: I went ahead and did it. since i had some currency to burn. Feels nice.

You only say this because you didn't read the guide thoroughly. Check the 3.9 section again ;)

I am about to buy a 6 link astral plate, how do I go about crafting something like the chest you have. I believe it would have to be fossil crafted to have the -15 to mana.
