You are now at dealing 10M and 460k ehp, 84% max resis.

Improve HoA to tipping point lvl 29 and further to 30 for 30% more damage. Improve ailment avoidances to 100%. Use "United in Dreams" for minionpoisonchance when wanted (15M). For tankyness balance in wicked ward and optimize max-resis further with a small cluster winterprowler. Switch one of your 3 sublime clusters to a self-control-cluster for better manamanagement, get a bit more resis on other spots.

Thanks for the help. Yes the numbers are as you say, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm not tanky and that I cant facetank any thing. i failed the last two shaper fights now, and if i can't handle shaper with my current setup, how is he ever going to handle someone like Uber boss /Maven/feared/other bosses

No problem and all content, all ubers are done. But of course you need better gear, gems and optimized clusters. I guess shaper freezes you too much and you could deal easy 100-150% more singletarget damage. It's a tank-build in first concept, it scales 5-12x more ehp, chaos/ailment-immunity and doubled recovery as most other builds out there. It's one of the very few builds to tank maven's memory game, uber shaper's slam and much, much more. And beside you can also balance with better gear (uul's or ashes amulet, united in dreams+temporal chains instead sniper's mark etc.) to nice 30-50M damage for the ubers with still remaining 90% full tankyness.

To fit this all in one build, it's not easy to balance mana for auras, withers, triggers, dex, clusters, poisonchance, virulences and more - but some archnophilias mention that is also one of the most fun-builds and most flexible when you like to max up a build or want to relax level solo lvl 100 or want to compete for the poe-ninja-leaderboards.

Switch the minion-mastery to the chaos-mastery when you focus on bossing, the unholy might is great in maps, but don't support singletarget. Also wicked ward is tanky in ordinary content, but often not against pinnacle-bosses. Divine/ Reroll your great watcher's eye for better stats. When your goal are mainly bosses follow the pob-tree "the ubers" or "bosses/ singletarget" and use the item-tab "united in dreams" (for around 32M damage and more when wanted). Use against shaper the brine-king pantheon before you reach 100% ailments-immunities.


Use skills like storm brand, void sphere to deal HoA-virulences and damage while you are moving. Use urgent molten shell for more tankyness too.

Respectfully, that's a level 84 shaper.

Uber shaper is level 85. Most of my cyclone builds could take a few ticks of that beam without dying.

I'm using the pob in the guide using Arakali's fang and 4x white sockets, and while I'm not at a playable state yet, I am starting to have doubts as to how the build handles actual ubers, being that none of the videos or demos shows that content.

I've sunk so far roughly 20 divines in, and I'm really hoping it's going to do what I want it to, which is be able to facetank EVERYTHING, including uber exarch balls.

Yes of course.

And the build like [3.18] in the video has only lower 30% of damage as like now after the HoA- and minionpoison-buffs in [3.20] and only 85% all resis, not 87-89% like now in [3.20] too.

But: be careful, you cannot tank some attacks of Uber Shaper or need to balance more into defences. Please take a look into "boss-hunting" and page 50 "The Ubers". When you focus on the Ubers ordinary you balance more into damage.

E.g. Uber shaper's slam or bullet-hell you can tank, but still not all damage. Me too did not deathless the Ubers and managed only Uber-Exarch without deaths.

Thank you for the quick reply. I am using the pob from the video you linked as the template of items I'm farming up to equip this build, so hopefully I get similar results.

Do you have any suggestions on corrupted blood immunity now that you can't obtain it on the unique jewels, being that they're corruption only?

I'm thinking the only way is to double corrupt clusters, but hoping I'm just tired and overlooked a more economical solution.

Take the tree "singletarget/ bosses" or fullgeared "the ubers" and for best damage the item-tab "united in dreams", best with an Uul's amulet. The default-set-up is enough, but you can also search for better unique medium clusters in place of the small winterprowler-cluster. Change out some mapping skills like sniper's mark and purifying flame to storm brand and temporal chains. For withers switch in "balance of terror" and selfcast despair.

Best is corrupted-blood-immunity on the belt-jewel since [3.20]. Only very rare you get it on a good cluster-jewel. Against the Ubers you need it against Uber-Sirus and perhaps rng Uber-Maven.

Hi Chromino

Can you advise about my build. Why should i upgrade next to make it more tankier? I feel like its less tanky compared to before medling of the flesh.

Are the crafting guides for large clusters on page 50 still up to date ?

Augmentation also annuling a mod seems like a deal breaker...
