hi there,

first off I didnt build my character using your guide but just checked out what people where playing on slayer and got the general idea of the build from looking at people characters and went from there. (was intially just something to lvl up with my brother on his first time playing) but I've since taken the build up to t16 and have run into issues occasionally getting one shot by map bosses and every time i've attempted something like the minotaur or the eradicator Im consantly one shot and cant kill the boss. ive got about 30ex I could dump into the character but not sure how I fix it

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your dedication. I have tried following you around all comments in this post and Whisdropper's. This is where I came from, his slayer build. This build of yours feels better than the one I have started with.

I am currently sitting at lvl 92 and I sincerely face many issues with survivability. Not a glass cannon, but for example I have managed to kill guardians only on white maps (no curse/no dmg buff yellows and minotaur is really a beast).

I can't progress any further (would like to get 3 more lvls minimum) because I easily die to random stuff on non dangerous maps. I know the build is not supposed to be megatank, but with ailments immunity, 50% phys reduction, infinite leech, it feels disappointing to die just like that. After all, it is melee and you are supposed to be just in the thick of it, or on the outsides of 100 mob hordes.

I am trying to work around POB to find some upgrades to survivability - more ele res to drop purity of elements for determination, some chaos res at least to 0%.

DPS wise, it is pretty ok at 2.5M in POB, and upgrades for weapon are currently over 10ex (probably due to popularity/lack of craft is PC community)

With a budget of 10ex, is anyone able to suggest something that is a noticeable upgrade in the defense department? I was even thinking of tweaking around in POB to Champion, but it requires a bit of time, and in work breaks, all I can to is to search for inspiration in variety of builds specific to duelist (gladiator, champion, slayer).
Last league I had a max block gladiator, but was lackluster in DPS, the most satisfying thing with that being in the middle of the pack keeping the Surrender up.

Here is my current POB : https://pastebin.com/7TUcAeTD

Thanks you for your time!
Stay safe, exiles!

hey beer, quick question.

any reason for choosing shockwave/pulverise over rage?

on PoB, replacing either shockwave/pulverise with rage bumped my dps from 4mil to 6mil.

what am i not seeing?

Are you checking shockwave dps? It’s a separate calculation - usually it’s around 30% of your overall dps. It’s a drop down in PoB.

Rage is going to be more paper dps than pulverize, but the AoE is very nice and it’s better for bosses since rage is slow to build.
