Alright so i fixed what you guys told me.
I put golem in chest whil i don't have 7L helm, i changed chest for an EE one and i replaced one SO with one Primal Crushclaw.

Damage is waaaay better but tankiness was still a bit off so i swapped awakened unbound ailment for molten shell and now it's way better.

Also i noticed glancing blows is actually making me lose ehp even with capped block. So i unallocated it and added a rumi and now it feels way better. I even took haste instead of grace with a movement skill recovery watcher for perma phase run so i can zoom even more.


Now i've got around 25m dps, decent ehp and almost perma 180movespeed.

What do you think should be my next goal now ? I was thinking improving my shield. I think I only need to spam reforge keep suffixes until i hit something decent, it wont cost too much i hope. I know i need a new helm enchant but i rly dont like running lab it's just too boring.

You pretty much got all the bases covered.
I would suggest that you focus on cleaning up all your gems.
Gem upgrades are what you call free real estate.

Just easy upgrades to get.
This means getting max quality on all your gems.
You also should look into getting alternate quality gems in some slots.
This includes:
- Anomalous Convocation for 40% movement speed on minions.
- Anomalous Predator support on Spectres for -4% ele penetration.
- 21/20 Carrion Golem for 20% increased dmg.
- Divergent Predator for golems, it's simply superior.
- 21/20 Anomolous or Divergent AG

Other skillgem stuff to work on:
- 20% quality on all your Auras. Aura range is very important for your minions since they have a tendency to run out of them.
- 21/20 Raise Zombies cause zombies are made of paper.
- 20/23 Blade Vortex for maximum BV AoE size.
- Use 1/20 desecrate. Costs less mana and it gets 20% cast speed which is really noticeable.

Pretty much, if I was you I would work on fixing all my gems. Get them set and their done for the rest of the league. It's permanent power.
Alot of small things do add up.

How come Glancing Blows make you lose EHP? Can someone explain this to me?
I thought it was a overpowered trait for this build D:

Does it increase our chance to block but that "you take 65% of the amount blocked" makes you take bigger hits when you block? Is that it?

We just get so much block that Glancing Blow does not increase it significantly.

Hey Deadandlivin, thank you for this very nice guide. I followed a long time and tried to implement whatever was recommended by you or the others.

Now I have some questions:

1. What should be my next big upgrade? I still have a live search running for Skin of the Lords with the right colors but seems like to be impossible... Have 30 Ex left at this time.

My current gear:


2. I have the following Ring:
Is that enough the BladeVortex to trigger EE (when I finally get the chest)?

3. When I use "Add a Mod to a Shaper Item" via Beastcrafting on my Bone Helmet‌, can I get the Crit Chance via this? And will it only add Shaper Influence mods or any mod? Sounds like this would be way better then Ex slam.


Thank you!

Looking at your ring, I can tell you that won't work for EE. Blade vortex is a spell, so anything that adds damage to attacks does nothing. Regarding your struggle with a skin of the lords, I know it isn't the ideal color but there are several "Suboptimal" colored Skins on sale right now. I am using a 2b 3r 1g setup with hypothermia, for example. I don't think the empower and awakened minion damage are very optimal on a skin of the loyal so picking up a Skin of the Lords will be a big damage boost.

Hi, I don't understand much about cluster jewels, (I never equipped them) Is it a requirement if or if I add 8 passive skills? , I wonder why there are some in the trade with 12 skills at a better price

PS: I am following the medium budget

Short question to understand Triad Grip Gems:
Do we use "Desecrate" only to fill up the green sockets or what is the reason for that?

I thought it was a overpowered trait for this build D:

If your block is less than 37.5% you want to use Glancing Blows, even if your EHP is lower.

Think of it this way:
Would you rather block 100% of the damage 37.5% of the time and die to a oneshot 62.5% of the time or block all damage 75% of the time, get down to ~30% hp which prevented a oneshot and only get oneshot 25% of the time?

The purpose of Glancing blow isn't to increase your EHP, it's to prevent oneshots.

1. Chest would be a massive upgrade for you, especially at your budget.
You don't need to go for a 4red-2blue like me. It's not even the best color, the best is 3b-3r.
You want to get any armour with EE that has atleast 2blue and 2red.
You also want to limit the greens to 1. This leaves you with these options:
* 3b-3r (Best Overall)
* 3b-2r-1g (Very good overall)
* 2b-3r-1g (Very good overall)
* 2b-4r (Best for clear)
* 4b-2r (Very good overall)

Any of these chests will perform close to oneanother.

2. That ring doesn't work since it's to attacks.
You need to craft the ring benchcraft.

3. It will add any mod, it's not an influence slam like from Harvest.
Useless craft, basically a cheap exalt slam.
