heey was wondering if there was any kind soul out there that would take a look at my build/char and push me in where i have to go from here and such?. and also i need to start invest into cluster but lvled it yesterday so still only 86. im starting to struggle alot with like later bosses and such.. any1 that could help me?
Question about helm Diadem...Im about to buy one but is it better to get unveiled one or veiled with any specific stat? Im not sure how good is that focus with 100% duration on poison?
The "inc duration" mod is pretty nice, but only if you go for the dual-cluster setup with "poison deal faster damage"-mods.
I managed to kill Sirus with 3.8k hp. Unfortunately, I was instantly killed almost every time when he looked at me and also his circles killed me twice as he block the entrance lol.
But the dmg was more than enough compared to any other build I played at early stage.
I did some shopping today and just wondering what should my next step in the build. Luckily my hp pool increased to 4.7K hp and Evasion arround 2.5K. I'm out of currency and wanted to make the next goals
Current Dual Cluster setup
1st LCS - Unholy Grace and Wicked Pall
2nd LCS - Unwaveringly Evil and Wicked Pall
2x MCS - Circling Oblivion and Wasting Affliction
1x MCS - Circling Oblivion and Septic Spells
1x MCS - Circling Oblivion and Haemorrhage
2x SCL - Surging Vitality
2x SCL - Fettle

Hi guys! I just bought Diadem and Impressence, and i have like 24,8% Mana unreserved.
As i aint going to use it, due to diadem, how can i fit another Aura gem? And wich one? (Probably Skitter tho). I have no spaces for the new aurga gem.
FOCUS ON GEMS, i know how to get the mana, the problem is the space.
This is my build (Just items with Gems):
Which Gem whould you replace? To fit skitter bots or something like that.

you can always replace faster attack, however I do believe you need enlighten lv 4 to sustain skitterbots.
My humble suggestion for now is you replace enlighten with Vitality, level it up until you're out of mana.
Is this Fox's Fortune chest good? Cost is 30c per six link so it's nothing and movement speed and amount of Evasion is incredible. Windering if I should change my chest and stack resists somewhere else. Or there is any other type of chest I should take into consideration? With Mistwall loooks like good setup for leveling
Also please check my post above with some tips about my build

Well, it's better than a tabula. A nice-to-have for starters until you get an explode-chest. Your chest looks decent though, with resists + life. Also, if you want to switch, don't buy the Fox's Fortune. Buy the one without prophecy 6-linked, then buy the prophecy and just use the prophecy yourself to upgrade the armor. That should save you ~15c i think.
And what exact explo mod? In the POB I can see spell crit with additional curse but seems to explode chest will be cheaper and also allows me to play with dual CIP. Think it will be my next goal to replace Bino
Ok, so I just levelled to 90 last night using nothing more than a Tabula, 2 Cold Iron Points and scuffed yellows, I hit t14s before I bothered making any changes so the build is fully capable to at least Red maps with very little gear. I know some people are struggling a bit with this build so I will share a few things that have worked well for me in the past and hopefully make things a bit easier for league starters who notice they feel like glass and have bad damage.
1. Three items that are essential are Coralitos's flask, Atziri's Promise flask for life leech and also a 'Corrupted Blood cannot be inflicted on you' Jewel. Corrupted Blood will cause problems with this build even with a Staunching flask, it's generally my main source of deaths until I get the jewel.
2. Make sure to grab the Wind Dancer node, this has excellent synergy with the Kintsugi chest that you can grab later on but is also very good stand alone.
3. Have a CWDT+IC link somewhere to save you from spike bursts, I also add Withering Step to the third link to refresh the Elusive buff almost every time I take a hit.
4. Phase Run gives you tons of MS, allows you to run through mobs and prevents you from getting gangbanged when mob density is insane. I bind it to left click and grab the 'Freedom of Movement' node for almost 100% Phase Run uptime which gives you an extra 62% Move speed in total. Some people also use Withering Step which I do not because I use Flame Dash exclusively which shares cool downs but this is also a viable option if you go the Whirling Blades route.
5. Two very good uniques that are very cheap are Fox's Fortune and the Brine Crown, these will carry you until you can afford a better chest and a Diadem.
Fox's Fortune is about 12c for a 6link (You buy a Foxshadow and then use the prophecy 'Dark Instincts.' This chest is basically a poor mans Kintsugi and will save you from the occasional one shot, it's much better than a Tabula. Brine Crown is around 4-10c and is also very strong until you can get a Diadem. It provides you with tons of life, cold res, freeze immunity and also gives you mana regen when you stand still for boss situations where you run out of Mana flask charges (which is rare since most bosses die very fast.)
6. Make sure to use an 'Enduring Mana' flask. This makes it so you're mana doesn't stop recovering when you're topped up.
7. Blind is important for survivability. If you can fit in Flesh and Stone somehow on top of Malevolance and your Herald it's highly recommended to do so.
8. Make sure to use Wither Totems. This is very important for damage and always overlooked. Pop totems on Bosses and difficult packs before charging in with a 10 stack BV and they will melt.
9. Bino's Kitchen Knife is very good for clear, use one with CIP if you can for mapping lower levels fast. Switch to CIP and Mistwall for reds and dual CIP for tougher bosses (This may or may not work, you might still get one shotted dual welding until later when you have good gear.)
10. Grab a level 21 Vaal Blade Vortex gem. They are super cheap this league (10-15c.)
11. Get corrupted gloves with Temp Chains on Hit, this is a big survivability boost they don't cost much.
12. Don't stop moving ever. Just run around with Plague Bearer and refresh you BV stacks as need. Stopping means dying with this build. You can pre-stack bosses with flasks, Totems and Duration Focus later on in the game and basically just stand there and one shot them though.
12. Make sure you have 100% chance to poison without Coralito's flask. You can check this in your character stats page under the BV offence tab.
Here's my current setup if anyone is interested.

Keep in mind this is just for league starting and not definitive by any stretch, you will probably have a bad time if you try taking this into high reds and endgame bosses in this state until you can upgrade. You can respec damage and resistance nodes as needed depending on your gear, you can use Whirling Blades, nothing is set in stone. Once you hit the 5 million SDPS mark you can start min maxing and scaling damage using Cluster Jewels, Circle Rings and self-Poison to bring you to around 18-20 million SDPS with minimal investment. Respec from the Atrophy Node for Clusters and then go from there.
How bad is it if I don't have 100 chance to poison without flask? I am at 95% but to get another 5% I would need to use a lot of skill points. Also does it matter if it is "Chance to Poison on Hit with Spell Damage", "...on Hits with Attacks", or "...on Hit"? If on hit with attacks works then I can spend just 1 point but BV isn't an attack so that won't work?

That chest is for endgame and will probably cost you quite some exalts. You can go with Asenath's gentle touch for explosion or with chest, or even both (yes, explo-mods do stack, but only worth if you're doing REALLY dense content). The +1 curse mod can be on the chest, or you can skill "Whispers of Doom" on the tree. They changed the position last league, now it's a reasonable alternative for us.
@ppl who quote half a page
Pls stop! That's just annoying and simply sucks. Especially if you quote someone without posing a question yourself...

"On hit" implies both, attacks + spells. "On hit with spells" obviously works for BV, since it's a spell. "On hit with attacks" doesn't work. 95% chance to poison without flask is ok'ish i'd say. During mapping, you'll have a 100% uptime of your flask anyway. You'll only have a problem during bigger boss fights like Sirus, Maeven or Aul. Those bosses can pack quite some hits, and 5% reduced dmg sucks. Shaper / Elder / Uber Elder on the other hand should be fine. Great boss fights, but they have way less hp / mechanics.
