Thanks for the build guide, I'm having a blast with it so far! Thoughts on getting phasing from Stygian belt socket and then running a Cinderswallow flask for Onslaught instead of Quartz?

Hey, thanks for a great build.
I'm always doing somewhat dodgy shit on gear progression, going for damage over defence because hey, if you kill stuff, they wont kill you.

I basically made it to t16 maps and 500+ tota rating now still using tabula.

Recently bought the level 4 empower and still kinda focusing on getting my skillgems.

Any pointers on what to go for next? I've been trying to get a Skin of Lords but realize I have not enough understanding to not brick my build.
The pain attunement one costs 33 divines.........................
The other ones you mentioned in the guide is also fairly expensive.

There is a comment mentioning a couple you just avoid, but there are still PLENTY of other variants, what would be a "cheap" one that wont brick my build?

Also thankful for any other tips and comments on my character overall.

something like a +1 6L carcass jack is good value. many double corrupted unique chests that are suitable for our build would also be good value. just 6L yourself using bench 4L + tainted fusings.

look at the trade link OP posted a few posts back to have an idea of "useless" but non-detrimental keystones you can use for SOTLords. SOTL is really a defensive option, I opted for dialla

Wanted to thank author for the build. This is definitely one of the smoothest and most fun mapping builds that I've played. I rarely play the same build two leagues in a row, but I might play this one next league too, if it's not nerfed.

Acts: extremely smooth, everything just melts, and phases are the only thing that protects act bosses from dying in 5 seconds (this was without any leveling gear).

~100 c budget: basic rare gear with life + resistances. Was able to do unrolled/transmuted red tier maps with rituals in them without problems. Also highest level heists and grand heists. Would quite often die to map bosses when doing Maven + 1-3 extra bosses strategy, and Maven invitations would often eat up 5 of my portals.

~5 div budget: bought Diadem, Cowards Legacy, Fury, cheap Vulnerability immunity Watcher's eye. Was easily able to do alch & go red tier maps with the Maven strategy. Started dying a bit from the Eater's altar packs when started doing those.

~another 25 div: Skin of the Lords, Empower 4, most main setup gems 21/20, amulet + 1 and non-damaging ailments, gloves with exposure, replaced rings to fix resistances. Even though there's still plenty of upgrades like awakened gems, better Skin of the Lords, expensive Watcher's Eye, Frigid Wake jewels and of course rares with min-maxed rolls, everything already melting like crazy. I managed to easily hit 95 level myself because I die only every 15-20 maps and mostly due to my own mistakes - for example, stopping to move.

coward's legacy provides too much dps to be replaced by any other belt. arguably better than even mageblood and headhunters.

quartz is for phasing, not for onslaught. i run onslaught boots for onslaught, i have dropped quartz in favour of more dps, as i can kill mobs while walking around them. but phasing is a big QOL.

Thanks for the tip on +1 Carcass, definitely gonna go for that one as a replacement for the "oh so amazing tabula", I'm not a super min/maxer, so the extra Area of Effect and Resistances is appealing to me!

Any other general tips? I feel extremely squishy.

what maps do people run for this build now? I only have two voidstones so I'm doing crimson + city square with deli, red altars, and niko (I'm hiero but still doing cdot).

Just found your content Lk, great stuff 👍
