Hi,
great build!
One question: The Undying hate has to be exactly like yours, or does the number matter?
Sorry but I still don't get how that jewell works :D

Thanks

The numbers affect what notables they change into. And since in this build we don't take any notables in radius anyways, the number doesn't matter. Just get any of them that gives Tecrod and you're good.


Also, if you want to gamble, you can try using a cranium on it, which will add an effect to travel nodes in radius. Note that this has a chance to destroy the jewel (not sure if the first slam does but better be safe than sorry). Subsequent ones add lines affecting small nodes and notables, so you can ignore them as we aren't taking any in radius anyways.

Okay! I finally got to use the staff and core build with a 90% damage reduction to all elemental dmg and currently level 87. Unfortunately, I feel extremely squishy. Granted, I only have 3,700 life and I'm working on getting closer to the 5000 in your POB but I'm getting 1 shot sometimes in 6mod T15 maps and chunked so fast in white T15 maps that life regen doesnt help. I expected to be tankier with that much damage reduction to elemental damage but maybe I really just need that extra HP (I havent found a single ring with % life + armour applies to ele dmg, even if I drop the spirit which I dont need since I can equip CoEA/CoC/ToN without it). Edit: Damage is great though, I just feel very glass cannon right now

I'm open to ideas :)

I'm quite curious how you managed to fit in all spirit reservation skills without spirit from rings. Do you have them on your body armour?
If so I wouldn't recommend doing that, since body armour is a big source of armour with our ascendancy nodes and notables.
But I'd also look at how much armour you have instead of the damage reduction shown on the tooltip. Tooltip damage reduction is not really a good indicator for tankiness as it often over-estimates how well you defend against damage. Armour is good against small hits and not large hits, so it will make sense that you will die to one shots.

Perhaps you can get a ring that doesn't have armour apply to elemental damage and switch it out for something else like armour %? Also going from 3700 life to 5000 life is definitely a huge defensive boost.
