Hello. I am playing this build for the first time and really enjoy it. right now I'm kinda having a problem with survivalibity. it's looks okay on paper 40k armor ,90 pdr with flask ,100 spell supress and damage is fine but I got one shotted a lot so can anyone take a look at my pob and figure it out and if you can give an advice on how to improve my build that would be great, thanks. here's pob https://pastebin.com/Bdm1VFYG


interesting, iron reflexes! you mentioned that you're getting hit by 1shots so it's unlikely that evasion is the issue, but for the sake of testing, can you try un-speccing iron reflexes and see if it still feels this way?

i'm asking this because while you have 71,567 armor for ~90PDR, you could be running with 19,368 armor ~75%PDR and be sitting on 27,821 evasion for a 76% evade chance. if you're getting your HP nibbled very often from the lack of evasion, you might not have enough HP pool remaining to tank the big hits even with such high armor.

given that you're immune to shock, the biggest hits you're taking are likely the occasional critical hits, but that's just my guess. hopefully this change helps you feel tankier!

I'm in the process of putting together my end game gear. Is Blizzard Crown still the way to go for the helmet? Are there any other options to consider?


i'm new to this build, but just based on poeninja, there seems to be 3 variants.

1. any good base: this is used with good eldritch mods (mana reservation, etc) or influenced mods (faster ignite, reduced fire resistance of nearby)

2. blizzard crown: easy way to get cold damage for Elemental Equilibrium, and this damage is also added as part of our ignite damage thanks to our ascendancy. the 2 good influenced mods can work together with blizzard crown, since you get to keep to "adds # to # cold damage" implicit while still having influenced mods.

3. devouring diadem: Eldritch Battery lets us use Energy Shield instead of Mana, so we can drop lifetap in favour of Empower. socketed gems get a huge reservation efficiency bonus, so having 3 skills that reserve a base 50% (grace, determination, malevolence/wrath) paired with enlighten gives a lot of breathing room to run defiance banner and high level precision.



Thanks for this. I've been saving up for a blizzard crown, but the Diadem looks much more affordable. I will take a closer look at that option.
Possibly a dumb question.

The polaric devastation ring needs to be in the "left ring slot". Which side is that? Is that left from my pov, looking at the screen? Or left from the character's pov?

I ask because I've never seen the Ash proc. Is there a visual effect or an icon showing that?

Left from your POV :)

to the pros here. i love the build and beside the uber pinacles nothing is safe but i cant manage to kill them.
do i miss anything significant ?

And any idea what i could try to slam on my amu ?


Put down your POB link so we can look more, but here are some things I see missing from your gear

Ring flammability

Gloves attack speed

Amulet +1 all skills

Bow additional elemental damage or attack speed when near unique

Quiver could have more damage

Unnatural instinct jewel gives a huge amount of damage

I really suggest you read palsteron maxroll guide for gear progression for mid and end game. You can also look at my character for some gear suggestions

Flammability ring you mean a ring with curse on hit?

Whats the curse level in these rings ?

Is it better than cast a curse?

It's level 1 from what I read, it's useful because it just auto cast on everything you attack :) you don't need it but if you have issues in red maps this will definitely help your clear
slowly it develops. the damage becomes unethical.
ubershaper and uberexarch (first try) down.
tried running ignite with original sin, but turns out it isn't worth the ring slot
If I have ignites spread by 12 on armour, can I drop Ignite Prolif even though it ignites 20? I think it was mentioned before in the comments but I can't find it.
