Someone mentioned the scourge claw, but it drops your crit chance by a fair bit, so not really sure if spending 100c on those is a great idea.

It's not, that's why the build doesn't recommend it.

My gear is above, I've been trying to find a way to fit Atziri's Step into the build to no avail. Just can't cap resists while using Atziri's Step. I don't feel like changing the rings or amulet as the amulet alone cost like 70c and the rings 30-40. Any ideas or should I just let it go?

To be honest with you that amulet looks extremely overpriced. I'd personally get better res on belt + amulet.

That said though, you don't really need Atziri's Step if it compromises your other defences. I use it because of factors that are unique to my situation, mostly the fact that I can't manually dodge a lot of spells due to utterly trash internet connection.

It was overpriced but it was the only one with decent health and T1 WED when I looked, I wanted to be able to use Atziri's Step or Darkray Vectors but oh well

Edit: Managed to change to change to +1 frenzy Atziri's Step and remain capped after some fidgeting. Turns out I was stupid and didn't notice amulet had an open suffix which helped a lot.

I am really struggling with this build, can anyone give me some tips please? I was expecting to find things easy coming from an ed/contagion trickster, but the yellow elders are a real struggle. I find i am constantly getting nuked, and as we have to face tank using molten strike i am constantly having to dodge and fights are taking too long. Does this get better?

Having no ranged ability for bosses is a real problem when we only have 1 life potion and cannot sustain through their hits..

You're still level 76 and haven't picked up Constitution yet, that's a big chunk of life you're missing. Your gloves could use more life, like double what they have now. Pick up Golem's Blood and the life node below it.

Life on hit on claws is more important i Think. It's basically free vaal pact. Take a look at my gear, I do red elder deathless with ease.

Should I sell my scourge claws then ? Are those blue claws better. The wolves in maps are quite cool and tank a little if they are alive when you get to bosses, but they are not great damage..

All I know about this is that Scourge doesn't add much DPS.

It's worth noting that his gear is considerably better than yours [molten strike on 6 link, WED on all jewelry] so he's probably leeching more by virtue of higher DPS and with a much higher life pool.

Depends on your budget if you don't have a lot yea sell them and try to get wed on belt+rings+amy considering you don't have any of it anywhere + change your gloves to smthing with 80+ life
consider 6l your belly too

and level up :p



also wanted to know op point on gloves bis are shaper/elder but would you recommend spiked or gripped if you don't have bis gloves ? Ty

If you keep a close watch you can get elder gloves for cheap, I got mine for 1c lol. Definitely way under priced but I just kept auto search on for 2 days.
