Your build is pseudo you never even played ulti and you claim that this is good for ulti well its not. Without iron reflex and auls uprising there's no way to get 2800 es block or an easy time around t16s and ultis in general. Can you put a disclaimer to stop leading people on?

Hi Rikujo,

take a look into "faq", there is a list to check when you die often, like pantheon, flasks, resistances, etc.

You miss for example anti-bleeding-immunity on flasks, that will kill you very often in almost every map with physical damage.
Anti-corrupted blood is also very important, you get it on flask, permament added on a jewel is better when you fit it in for permament immunity.

You miss a basic jewel too with blue nightmare for blockings not flask-uptime-depending.

You can benefit only 1x with +3000 armour on only 1 granite flask, take another flask instead, not 2x granite.

Curse resistance-suffix is not ideal too, you have 80% permament in your ascendancy.

Soul ripper with 146 charges does need very long to fill, take 50-80 charges or another flask before

Limit ball-lightning to level 1. take a look into manamanagement for correct reservation of mana to get all benefits. Too much unreserved mana is not ideal, take a look into your ascendancy radiant faith and helmet memory vault.

You can farm some aul's citadels for getting aul's uprising yourself.
But it's a problem on poetrade, yes, now there are a bit more on the market as in the first week.
(I am still not sure if level 250 delve is needed for the drops.)


Vaal grace you can take also as a strong defensive skill without activating grace when you like.

Without ironskin you get instead 50% more evasion, not bad too, but for bis-gear ironskin is recommended from level 98 upward, yes.

Before iron-reflexes take a look into "Gear, skills, links", there is in "skin of the lords" a ranking for other well fitting keynotes like phase acrobatics. The build's popularity is not low in these days, I am sorry, some b-i-s gear is not easy to get cheap and it is written in the spoiler "contra" what gear is expensive to max out. The other keynotes are fine also until level 98. But you get only circa 2000 es on block without iron reflexes or try the imbalanced guard keynote for 2400 es/ block and 50% more evasion, but less pdr instead, it's nice for lower levels too. You get much more substain than other builds even without full gear.

For mapping take melee splash into your dagger.

You can try out for mapping or ultimatums the phantasms support-setup of the spoiler "Harry Potter and Airforce 11" for some more damage if you do often ultimatums, delves or blight.

Also without aul's or iron skin the build has top high defences and is played by myself in t18 deliriums full juiced and level 100 in all content and there is a reason why a lot other´s in ultimatum league get into top levels even not full max geared - with it's umlimited blockings, max ehp and HoA the build is fitting great to the mechanics of needed defences against all damagetypes and needed high substain of ultimatum.

In your set-up the flasks are fast to improve (bleedings probably will have killed you 100x), also clusters and jewels.
For other cheap upgrades take a look on page 50 for tradelinks and shopping-list too:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3019705/page/50

Some other easy optimizations of the build are missing on your gear - clusters, mana, amulett-anoint, catalysts, your skill-set-up, anomalous and divergent-gem-qualities etc.

You have a lot very good gear , but some very important stats are still missing too. Just ask after these flasks-changings and checking the faq's when you die too often.

Just did my first Awakener with this build. AW lvl6 only. But it was quite challenging or well actually it was just because it took a bit longer then other builds I played and I died a few times. Always because of corrupted blood. Guess I need a Jewel with Corrupted Blood immunity.

Ty for the detailed reply but as for point 1, i have an anti corrupt blood so i chose not to grab it on the flask. I'll get the jewel today and replace suffix of curse. The reason why I took 86 was because It barely hinders my survivability as I am always moving, vaal-ing when needed and I only get killed when I get 1shot or shotgunned as I'm always on wither step so it blocks out my movement.

The reserved mana I have leaves me with <10% of mana so I'll have to work on that after i figure out a way to use hoag without 2 rings, I have both on 20 and 19. Again, thank ytou for replying even though I was a prick appreciate it. Will come back to you when I changed all of this.

Started your build yesterday and its really nice. I respecced my char I had and itsd a blast. I can tank t16 ultimatiums without any problems.

I guess my next upgrade should be the amulet and then the Chest. But need to farm a bit more currency first ^^

Thank you for that build!!

Edit: Got the amulet. Now next the chest. :D

Hey Chromio,

I do have a few Questions:
Your Watchers eye with 18% mana as ES, is that a double role on ES on that watchers eye? Is that possible?

I do have the reduced Herald enchant on my Helmet, 2 circle of nostalgia with 20% and can run Grace, Discipline, Determination, Vitality, Herald and Clarity. At Sovereignity I did not take the reduced mana reserved, to effactively reserve my mana.

With that setup I don't need Uncompromising. I was thinking about 2x Second skin and change my boots with The Stampede. That would give me stun and block recovery (since we get stunned a lot), shorter CD on Frostblink and another annoint. I was wondering where to spend that. Is Soul of Steel a good choice?
