Unfortunately choosing this build for this league was a big mistake of mine. The build is really fun to play, lots of explosions and a satisfying clearspeed, but this build is the perfect definition of "Glass Cannon".

Most builds allow you to make one mistake or another, but with that build it requires you to be perfect, one slip and you can be sure that you will die !

I spent approximately 20ex on this build and I hoped at least to be able to make T13 maps with ease, but no, I am dying with extreme ease, besides that it takes me a long time to kill the map bosses.

I understand that I am still Lv.88 and I still have several "holes" in my equipment and skill tree, I am afraid to invest more exalteds in this build and regret it more and more.

Someone willing to give me some tips on how I can be improving the damage and survival of my build? (without buying an HH for example)

Thank u guys !

I didn't get a chance to look at your PoB but the biggest thing that helped me with single target on bosses and what have you - was taking Brand Recall off of left click for those encounters. This lets the brands stay on the boss and made a world of difference. Not sure if you have tried this or not but thought I'd type it out just in case.

Also from the guide using Militant Faith / Ephemeral Bond / Replica Soul Tether for bosses is recommended over other options.

Thanks, I'm at basically pre HH stage, what I don't have currently are dmg rings and Bottled Faith. I'm saving up for either of those and don't know what to go for first, but if I get both rings, how do I get fire damage? Not sure if I can afford one crafted mod for fire damage. Was thinking maybe fire enchant on boots but that might take a while to farm.

I think this is what a lot of people use for the fire damage. This one has Resists, Phasing, and some Lightning Damage too.

I'm loving the build so far but I do get that squishy aspect but trying to stack more HP now to compensate for that.

I'm on the corrupted soul part of the build and looking to transition by slowly getting the parts needed. I don't know if I'm missing something or not but my currency farming is pretty slow and inefficient.

Anyway I'm hoping some people can help with the helmet crafting aspect. The instructions are clear until I reach the warlord helmet section. I believe it was point 4.

Is the instruction saying that I have to find a 'warlord' influence with only 1 warlord influenced stat? And not having any 'of conquest' stat on top of it as this is also warlord influenced or just not having 2 stats specifically saying 'of warlord'.

Any help would be appreciated as this is my first playthrough.
