Hi and thanks for the build, having a great time with it.

I've been running Cyclopean Coil for my belt, if you run with Stygian Vise and freeze immunity on your basalt flask, how do you handle curses?

Honestly I don't! Usually I just avoid maps with curses+damage mods and don't have much of an issue.

I guess temporal chains is the only that really brings the build to a halt? I might switch to a Vise and see how I can do a little bit better on my resists. Thanks!

Yea temp chains sucks but we actually have TONS of move speed to counter it so that's nice.

Heya. I couldn't get my hands on a wildwrap with 5 red and 1 green slot so I settled for 4 red and 2 green. Now I don't know which one of the red gems to leave out and what green to replace it with. I first tried running without elemental damage on attacks but felt like my damage was seriously lacking compared to before, so I removed fortify instead and the damage is a bit better but still worse compared to my 6L tabula (even considering the damage wildwrap gives). I also lose out on a lot of survivability by not using fortify. Which gem would you recommend removing and what green gem should I use instead? I couldn't use close combat support, no idea why but I can't use ice crash if CC is slotted. I'm running ice bite at the moment but I feel like it doesn't do a lot.

Any help is appreciated.

I put a bit of a spin on this build in order to boost the defenses. Specifically, I maxed out my chaos res and added more mitigation. I'm using a rare amulet, chest, and stygian. Currently I'm using Starkonja for the defenses. I may change to Fractal if I want more DPS at some point (which isn't a problem at all really). Feels like a tank right now. All bosses melt.

Also, I wasn't happy with the small radius so I added a few AOE cluster nodes. Trying to figure out how to take it to the next level.

I'm in the exact situation as you!! I can't find a Wildwrap with 5R, 1G. Mine is 3R, 3G and 6 exalt seems like extortion.

There's apparently some Vorici bench. Velyna was kind enough to reply with this but i can't find any info on what a Vorici bench is, where to find it or how to use it lol!!

"Roll it as close as you can then hit it with level 3 vorici bench."

This is amazing thank you!!! exactly what i was looking for, i was really struggling with death and finding the recommended gear. I'm going to give this a go, thank you for the PoB, legend :)

Any content you haven't been able to do?

Did you craft the chest and if so, how? I can't find anything like it for sale. I've given up on trying to find a Wildwrap and yours looks better anyway!

*EDIT* sorry the pastebin link doesn't seem to work, mind reposting it pleas?

there is a remarkable synergy with cyclopean coil and a well rolled astramentis. i have tried to plug into pob the best stygian rolls i could and honestly, i do not think they can match the Coil. if you score a corrupted coil you can get up to 25% to dex

now, if you use astramentis, you also get a ton of raw stats right? well, coil also adds 1% dmg per 5 of your lowest attribute, which is most likely int. but with astramentis you are likely to be in the 200s+ (mine for example is 235), you do the math. and then not wasting a mod on flask to protect from freezing is invaluable.

so dont overthink it. the following uniques are practically BiS for this build:


they are cheap, easily obtained and as long as you spend a bit more to try and get the higher end version, you cant miss with them.

also i run with -60% chaos resistance and to this day i ve yet to figure out what out there i should be afraid of that does chaos dmg. yes i occasionaly pay poor attention and stand in a cloud too long and die, but the resources you have to invest to get decent chaos res, are better off spend on raising your hp pool or whatever.

@Sabbea

Thank you for writing this out, there's some very helpful info in there.

I have all the items you've listed save the Wildwraps. I can only get a hold of a 6L with 3R, 3G. That's using lots of currency to get it from no reds.

To buy a 6L 5R/1G is mega currency in Heist right now. Like 6 exalt.

I can't even begin to imagine the cost of a corrupted coil!!

I'm not a good, prob not even a decent PoE player. With -60 chaos resist I'm dying all the time at level 89. Not even in high maps either, talking like T10.

I acknowledge i have a ways to go, just trying to farm currency at the moment and resist re rolling lol

What are you running into that dishes out so much chaos damage? I can't see your character, what's your life/DPS situation? The awesome people above gave really good advice!
