I'm slowly progressing through the game with this build and I love the playstyle! I've been following the "what order to buy stuff" part of this guide but I start to get blown up on tier 14+ maps randomly. I've included my gear below and I'm hoping to get some suggestions on upgrading. I know my belt jewels, gloves and rings aren't very good. My chest also needs to be updated to a shavs wrappings. I currently only have one medium cluster jewel(this is the part of the guide I'm currently on, buying my clusters.

What items should I upgrade to make the biggest survivability difference? I'm wondering if my gloves/rings/jewels are holding me back. If it's those, is there any budgetish items I can use as an upgrade? For example, finding a good unset ring(dex+str, es flat/%, +2 socket level) are crazy expensive.

I struggle to buy 100 chaos items as it is, so if I have to save to buy 500+ Viv rings I will... but it'll suck!

Thanks for any guidance you can give! Hopefully all the items liked properly, this is my first time doing it.

Get wicked ward keystone that will help you a lot before you get enough ES regen.

So half way of struggling in maps I got my Shavs from cards (farm tower maps or buy them) but I was on a 5link and it wasn't enough dmg.
I then changed my gloves to a pair of unique called Vixens entrapment gloves.
These gloves allowed you to cast two curses while only self casting 1 (vulnerability), I added punishment curse in the gloves and made map clear a lot smoother, and I later added poachers mark into the gloves too and that carried me all the way to Sirus 7 with a 5link.
But I had a doryani boots which I bought for 35C back then, so I'm not sure how you can fit both curses into your setup.


Hope this will help you good luck.

Interesting, so you don't think I should just try to buy a rare gloves or rings? I'll definitely take a look at the Keystone, but usually my issue is just getting instantly blown up, not whittled down. I've got around 5.5k ES, will that Keystone still help a lot?

Shavs is definitely on my radar, I just wasn't sure if that was the best use of my money. Either way, thank you very much! Maybe I'll try learning path of building to see what items make the biggest difference.

What spectres is everyone running? I have been doing 4 syndicate ops and feels like something is missing especially when the fights are close quarters in heists.

You seem to be running golems, then I am not sure what you can expect from your spectres. Get a few support spectres instead or switch to spectres only.

Yep, I am running golems, I thought the spectres were for only helping out mapping. I guess i missed that part of the guide.

Which spectres would be best to run with golems? Searching for support and spectres brings up so much because support gems.

Thanks for any input.
