You should be easily clearing t14-16, what is the problem you're running into specifically? Perhaps I can help a bit more if I know exactly what you'd like to solve. It's an evasion based dmg clear build, so you'll always die sometimes with this build. You need +1 curse from somewhere though, either anoint Whispers of Doom or path to it, or move to a +1 curse chest. You have despair + temporal chains from asenaths and only one will apply without a +1 curse somewhere. I would advise pathing to whispers of doom and anointing Dire Torment.

Don't tell me what to do when my chest is worth more than your build and you act here like you are an expert doing sirus 2, no wonder nobody is lvl 100 with bv poison, nobody cares what you did last league.

Stop blaming people for what they have nothing to do with, nobody wanted to facetank Sirus 9, the most minor non mechanic mistake what everyone does will lead to death with this build, even with 50ex invested, that's broken and unenjoyable.

Damn you're salty... It says right on the front page in the build guide, listed under the "CONS" of this build: It's a dodge build. If you're not able to understand what that means, it's your fault not the build guide's.

Btw, that's so not the point of this build. NOBODY who plays this build and knows what this build is capable of has any hope of getting to level 100. It's a damn fast mapper with insane damage that shreds bosses like nothing. But you die every now and then. And that's no problem - this is softcore, not hardcore.

Just started trying the build today, enjoying it so far. Had a few quick clarification questions.

Is the withering step supposed to be part of the CWDT setup or is it supposed to be manually cast?

The pob/default build don't seem to have any gap jumper (ie flame dash) do people try to work this in for convenience or are you just supposed to only farm stuff you dont' need to blink?

You can bind WS to your left mouse button, so it automatically activates when you move. We don't use flame dash because you can't link fortify to it. We farm maps where you don't need FD later on. But for leveling it's ok to use both.

Hey guys, I noticed many people are struggling with survivability and thought I would share my thoughts and how I overcame this for my version of this build.

- Do not stack entirely offensive auras. You need a balance. Currently, I am running Malevolence, Herald of Agony, Flesh and Stone (entirely sand stance), and Vitality. These are all inside the Diadem helm. I feel running a high level vitality aura is very important. No enlighten is needed, just stick these auras in your helm and you should be able to level vitality to around level 17 (where I'm at right now).

- Choose Surging Vitality over Fettle for your small cluster jewels. The %HP gain is similar, but the QoL is MUCH higher. I am currently at 503 hp regen/second in hideout, and this boosts up to 1400 hp regen/second every 4 seconds thanks to double Surging Vitality jewels. Combined with the feast of flesh from the Diadem helm, that's another big chunk of regen every 5 seconds in battle. Whenever I get hit, which isn't often, my hp instantly shoots back up to full and that's a nice feeling.

- Get Asenath's gloves for your explosions, and choose a defensive chest. I went with Kintsugi, which combined with Wind Dancer is doing solid work in keeping me alive.

- You should absolutely not be using 2x CIP for mapping unless you have GG top end gear. I do MORE than enough damage to clear t16s quickly, including bosses, with 1xCIP and Mistwall. Any more is simply overkill and I only weapon swap to my 2xCIP setup for Guardians, Conqs and Sirus.

- Don't ignore Chaos resistance. I'd like to get more but currently sitting at 33% and it feels comfortable.

- I am currently able to fit in an Enduring cry gem linked to second wind, and it helps with generating endurance charges during ritual fights and acts as an extra life potion when needed.

I only died 3 times from lvl 1 to lvl 90 (pretty good for me since I'm a pretty casual player), but hit a wall around red maps where I died about a half dozen times in a few juicy maps. I made these changes and have only died once more since then and it was to a stage 3 Sirus cold beam. I feel quite sturdy at the moment and I'm not afraid of any boss fight

Thanks to everyone for their tips in this thread... i've been reading along all league and viewing people's profiles, making small tweaks here and there, and it's been a lot of fun!
