How is this build doing against the new endgame bosses with 4 watchstones?

It's doing great, will post a vid soon of a fight vs one of the guardians (4 watchstones), some breachstones and tougher stuff like that.

And might be a silly question but how well would this build work with headhunter or would you recommend going with one of your other Cyclone builds?

I'd assume it would go great. As much as any other build, might be better with the pure phys slayer.

What map mods can't this build do? I just start leveling it up and is just wondering what map mods I should avoid when I get there

Can't do Ele reflect.
No regen is annoying because you need a mana flask and 60% reduced healing is annoying because it fucks your ES regen.
Everything else is fine if you have uber lab (for phys reflect).

Cool, thanks for the answer. Also looking forward to seeing that video

Hey bud,

i'm new to the whole ES thing and i just can't seem to leech ES. I don't know if that is normal, but it's tilting me alot :D.

Whenever my ES get's low from a single hit i keep on spinning and i don't leech at all. Everytime i have to run away and wait for the recharge to start.

I read that my damage might just suck and that's the reason why, so i tried speccing into every ES leech i could find and it still does nothing.

What am i misunderstanding here? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem at lv84, feels like my leech is super low, and I have to pop Vaal Discipline to keep my ES up.

Also on that note, its a very fun build to play, pack clear speed is really quick but my boss damage seems a bit low especially for higher tier yellow maps or low red maps. Especially the metamorphs.

Any ideas @Devon?

Ewww 1.25M DPS? LOL

I'll pass hahahahhaa

Can't really help without checking your char/pob.
For the leech part, it's harder to get ES leech for some reason, the same values that you would have on your attack builds (0.4%) is more or less halved on ES leech builds (in this case, we have 0.5%). And if you check the ES leeched per second it does say close to 700 ES leeched per second. This difference is really noticeable if you've been playing attack builds.
I have an active attack char that I'm building atm and his 0.4% leech gives him straight up 1400 life leech. So I'm positive that the ES leech is inherently weaker.
If you want to try you can take the 2 nodes before
Light eater, according to PoB, it provides an additional 150 ES leech.

As for the damage. The damage is more than enough if you've followed the build and got to at least 200k average hit on Arc in PoB. And the metamorphs are another thing. I see people mentioning that a lot. Metamorphs have their HP values from ranges of 1mil to stuff like 100mil. It's unrealistic to expect that every single one will melt. Furthermore, the T16 maps make it so that boss HP values are equal to Shaper Guardians. Once you combine a T16 boss and add some extra life values from the organs, maybe some life regen (not to mention the map mods themselves) you're gonna have a bad time. I've been doing metamorphs a lot and what you need to watch out is how you build them. I've also died to one shots, even with 9100 ES. I've also melted them and I've also had a hard time killing some. You've seen streamers die to them A LOT. It's not because the builds are trash, it's because they are overtuned.

TL;DR ES leech is weaker than Life leech. If you get to the damage values that I have you shouldn't have any problems with most Metamorphs.

Read what I've written in this post as a response to somebody else. Also, you shouldn't be relying on your leech, that's just a nice bonus. Rely on your vaal discipline and wicked ward.
