I did a post yesterday mentioning how much I liked the build and how fun was to play it even tho it was a bit squishy. Since then I've been reading people talking about the squishyness of the build.

I'll share a bit of my experience in case some one is uncertain about it.
I did a 1 day rush with this build in standard yesterday so I could play endgame content with it to see if it would fit as my starter. Indeed the build is a bit squishy as I even mentioned myself. Even though, the build has so much damage that it wont be a problem most of the time. I was running t16 maps going into the middle of mob packs with Plague bearer + blood rage and the sustain was pretty decent. You kill almost everything before they get even a slightly chance to hit you back. When it come to bosses it is a little bit trickier since you will get one shot'd if you don't pay attention or try to face tank it. You DO need to know mechanics and have the patience to attack and evade and kill it taking your time. No big deal tho if you play the build the right way. Since I was in standard I had currency to gear up the build but I didnt want to try it with a huge budget so I kept it low (something about 5-10ex) and I kept The Wasp Next because I wanted to try t16 with it. After I had success completing it then I changed weapons only too so how even better the build would get.

My point is if you are uncertain of the build because of it being squishy, understand this is all about taking ur time and playing as the build is supposed to. The build has a lot of DPS potential and can go pretty decent in endgame content. You only need to make sure it fits your play style. Also you can change some nodes to get more sustain if it is getting too hard for you.

I'm starting my league with this in a few minutes and I feel very happy I had the opportunity to find this guide and try this build before the new league.

With the new clusters in passive that adds 300% extra to poison hit and other stuff it seems the build will get even more potential even tho fossils were nerfed.

Once again I thank you for making this build available with so much detail and orientation. This is a lot of fun to play! Hope you have an amazing league.

Whats the best way to handle the chest piece now? It looks like the Mana Cost mod is on Warlords, while Life % and Crit are on Hunter/Elder.

With how rippy the league is currently, I've been debating dropping some of the crit and crit mult nodes in favor of pathing to the new notables. 300% dmg on non poison + %hp + maybe either elusive or Herald passive might offer more damage, and more survivability?

How do you deal with insufficient int while leveling up?

I crafted int on some of my random items but it seems I'll need a lot more for some claws and some of the gems.

So I fucked up pretty hard and bought a Sporeguard, not considering how hard it would be to get 4G2B. Is there any reasonable way to do this, or am I SOL and better off reselling it?

For the begin, why not recommend Multistrike for more flexibility ?
Is the damage loss so much, that it's impossible to play with it or what would you say ?

I can't test it, I don't have this char at the moment.

Isn't this build using any of the new Cluster Jewels?
