16131 ES at level 96. Lethal Pride gives me 20% fire res, +44 Str, 10% inc Str, 1% life regen/second. I'm at 76/76/77 max res, 70/48 block unbuffed, 70/68 block if I recently cast a spell (so always), capped with Rumi's (obviously). 48% chance to evade attacks with flasks up, 10/10 dodge chance with flasks up, 85% phys dmg reduction unbuffed, 90% with Rumi's up. Full ele ailment immunity.
Spider, Hatred, Deathmark HoAg, Clarity.
Tri-curse setup with Enfeeble on hit from gloves, Poacher's Mark (weapon trigger -- can be replaced with Frostbite or Temp Chains for endgame boss fights), Projectile Weakness.
I can swap to 5/20 woke Vicious Proj (with a lvl 1-ish clarity) for 6 million tail spike dps (3 spider stacks, which is kinda unrealistic), 5.6 mil at 1 spider stack, no bullshit enabled.
Could also fit in a war banner if I put the hatred in my gloves, would need 2-3 more 1% reservation jewels and would have to get rid of inc duration for VMS. Not really worth it. Neither is a +2 ammy imo, too much defense is lost--maybe for deep delving.
Is that 16k energy shield with watchers eye?
And how do you deal with elemental weakness and -res maps when you’re just on the cap? I have like 85 res and after elemental weakness on awaken 8 my res is like 55.
Spells can still kill me fast like that
Yes, 18% Watcher's Eye. I could go for more ES but I've taken the Gravepact cluster and like the utility my Unnatural Instict in the Scion starting area provides.
Honestly? I ignore all map mods. And with an anti-curse flask it's not an issue versus metamorphs either. -maxres can be, maybe I'll skipp Metas in those maps if I decide to push 100.
Two deaths so far have been to Metamorphs, one on-death effect (I now move away, Deathmark helps with that), one huge slam that hit me for like 70-80% ES while I still didn't have a bleed flask (out of laziness) -- the bleed finished me off in <1 second.
A8 Sirus is a joke, you can facetank everything other than Desolation, but that'll hurt less now since shock previously worked despite shock immunity.
I got 15k ES and awaken 8 Sirus kills me with the fat beam, not sure what I need to tank it, I don’t have shock or freeze or corrupted blood immunity and need to rely on flasks for that. Is it shock? Or the dps is just too high and can’t be tanked? I saw mb xtremes beef tain with 20k es still move around and fat beams did almost kill him a few times, I think he went down to like 1/4 ES
Well this is my problem in general...I can't get skiterbots without huge investment like lvl 4 enlighten or I'm doing something wrong...
I have Conq efficiency and even if I will get charisma on amulet + perf circle of nostalgia it is still not enough :/. Lvl 4 enlighten + shaper's touch +1 gem is really expensive...
I was thinking about getting skin of the lord with mortal conviction but the only one available is 3R3G (so need to use Maim). Not sure if there is any other option...
I have enlighten 3, noncorrupted shapers touch,38% circle and using wrath with skiterbots... also charisma on amulet. You must be using extra aura which you cannot fit without extra investment AS mentioned in mana reservation section.
My profile is public character name Totemeezy. Clarity is there to reserve mana to max since I had like 150.
Having fun with the build but i feel like my damage is much lower than most.
Please can someone check my POB and see if i've gone wrong?

Thanks.
Ok just checked your profile and few tips to improve.
First get rid of dagger and get +1 to all minion gem wand is quite cheap to get. +2 costs a fortune. my current wand
Drop flesh and stone and put hatred instead... generosity is useless for flesh and stone but hatred&generosity will boost crawler dps... get a better belt cyclopian would be best and you can buy one with 15% attribute increase for like what 50c? Huge help and es gain. I'm using a rare one but it costs more. You can view my profile that's pretty much pre luxury gear and after that is just min maxing. Otherwise your gear is fine. Hope this helps :)

It's most likely the corrupted blood inflicted by the beam that is killing you. Once you get the "Cannot be inflicted by corrupted blood" implicit on the jewel, you should be able to facetank anything from A8 Sirus with your 15k ES.
I played this build as my league 'starter' and it's such a fun build to play. I opted for a little more mana res so I could fit in Dread banner for some extra damage.
I also changed pierce for awakened fork because I found it better for indoor maps.

I was at that for a while and having the same issue. Even with cyclopean coil, bleed was killing me before I could hit the flask. I was also dying to the big beam if I took a little bit of damage before being hit by it. Corrupted blood immunity on a jewel is a must, and you will have a much easier time if you can time your molten shells well or get just a couple thousand more ES. I went for a watchers eye rather than damage upgrades and I haven't died to sirius since (went from 14.8k to 19k ES)
@Mecielle and to anyone else, how does the 10% chance to Intimidate Enemies on Hit fare versus Unwavering Crusade node? I just hit it on my Lethal Pride along with a take 10% reduced enemy critical strike damage which is nice.
If the DPS loss is neglible I might just drop it and pick up Time of Need...
Well if you have another source for intimidate, all the node does is give your crawler 30% increased damage and 15% increased attack speed. Which is absolutely not enough to justify using it over Time of Need in my opinion.
And the intimidate on hit from lethal pride is enough to intimidate every enemy that counts. Like bosses obviously, or harder rares. And because of EE you try to aim at those with your Ball Lightning anyways.
I mean, test it for yourself. If you feel different about it, it only takes 10 regret orbs to switch back.
For me the impact of getting intimidate on hit on my Lethal pride was of course bigger, because I haven't been using Unwavering Crusade in a long time because even with losing thee Intimidate I valued Time of Need higher.
@Mecielle
I managed to aquire lethal pride kiloava 15587 which has intimidate on hit.
The 30% minion damage + 15% minion attack speed + 10% minion damage sub node is more than the damage given by intimidate on it's own.
I have time of need, I'm not sure if bastion of hope is better than another 11.2% of damage - for my setup anyway. Add in that lethal pride's version is only 10% chance, I think the intimidate lethal pride setup only works if your dps is so high that trash doesn't need the extra intimidate damage.
For me, I like the extra damage of unwavering. Bastion is for stun immune right? There's brine king for that. Not using brine king opens up solaris or lunaris which are both slight buffs but nothing super. Realistically the only thing killing me are spells and not physical hits which solaris/lunaris are providing.
