something really weird happening with this build. I have never ever encountered so many problems progressing through white maps. I'm capped at resistances, have decent amount of health, but almost every mob i encounter i get smacked. Especially lightning attacks are deadly. It looks like i'm made from paper. Ofc i don't have the best gear right now, but still i've never had so much problems in 4.5k hours what i'm facing now. As if i missed something or interpreted wrong. Any guidances? :)

Looks like you have an older version of PoB, im looking for ways to let people know when its updated so my bad there. Discord always has latest ones and notifications for them.

Your probably missing ~300 flat life between all your slots, and none of them are armour base which is a big part of our early game defense.

You dont have a trigger setup with chaos/stone golem + steelskin.

No defensinve flasks.

No sources of flat cold/freeze chance.

Just an FYI for the current starter build: the items suggest that you use a "Chemist's Silver Flask of Adrenaline," but "of Adrenaline" doesn't seem to exist anymore. The best movement speed suffix you can get on a silver flask is "of the Cheetah" now which is a 12%-14% movement speed increase (added to the onslaught buff from silver flask that's a 32-34% movement speed increase). So if you would rather have a bit more movement speed, shoot for a quicksilver flask with "of the horsefly" (which gives a cast speed buff).

If you are cool with a bit less movement speed overall, the onslaught buff from the silver flask will give you more DPS.

Made it to lvl 85 now, Awakening level 7 and just killed Sirus, the build is honestly really good and I haven't even moved to the optimized low-life setup/endgame setup yet. Obviously, bosses really do take a while but map clear even in red maps is a breeze with profane bloom.

Better go out of profane bloom. It's just a nice to have bc when you have CoTB most of the time packs die bc of HoI. Profane bloom proc rate is pretty low then. Better go in other good points (power charges or 0.4 freeze).

For the few maps where monsters have hex immune you can use a chaos orb.

Are you saying after you get one COTB its feasible to swap out of profane bloom in favor of something else? Are you suggesting this for the pre-LL setup, the LL setup, or both? Just curious, this seems like an interesting idea.

EDIT: nvm, I just glanced at both of your setups and got the answer to my questions. :)

I'm having the same issue. Was really liking the build while leveling, but I don't think I have ever felt weaker starting white maps. Not even sure what I can do about it on the gear front since I only have 6 chaos atm.

Your using an outdated PoB, but also:

Level 36 life flask in maps, and no defensive flasks at all.

No defensive trigger setup.

Shield isnt armour base.


Theres several other changes for defense in the new PoB but just those would help.

When you say "no defensive trigger setup", is that something different from CWdT? Because I definitely have that.

Oh! yup my bad, my attention is split a million different ways right now.

Hopefully the new PoB feels better I'm still working on early game defenses.

Endgame pob is raider build atm :s

Hi!
I'm a relatively new player with just a few seasons under my belt, and I liked what I saw in the video. So, I ended up trying your build out for this season! So far I'm having a blast leveling, and I'm currently on Act 7. Now that I'm slowly reaching a point where the gear could potentially matter, what order should I upgrade my gear? From what I've heard, it seems like the Call of the Brotherhood rings are a must. As a more casual player, it'll take me a bit of time to grind the currencies to trade for the rings, and I'd hate to get the rings but be unable to clear harder content. Any gearing / upgrading tips would be appreciated!

First off thanks for the build guide, im absolutely loving it! Ive been out of the loop for a while so dont know where to look. But after getting two Call of the brotherhoods I have 80% Lighting to cold conversion, where do i get the other 20%? Or is that not necessary? Thanks in advanced!
