Messing around with melding of the flesh now that I have hit my league challenge goals. Definitely a big dps hit to around ~150m dps but you do get 85% res. Coupled with one of the ele reduc flasks, you can tank stuff like uber elder slams.

Downside would be mana reservation needed. To run grace + deter + wrath + purity, you would need enlighten 5. I might try different aura set ups such as dropping grace entirely to run vitality.

How are you getting your 85% res cap? What are you using to get the extra 10% additional max res?

You probably won't need to run Purity either if you have a flask like one of below:

Or simply using a Bismuth flask for more ele resistance if you need it.

Unless you mean Purity of Ice/Fire/Lightning... in which case yeh you'd need to swap out something or go for more mana res. But the Purity of Ice etc gem etc only takes you to 79% max res. You could get +1/2 res from implicit on chest easily. But what other methods are you using to hit 85% max res?

Purity gives me 5% due to the aura effect % that I have. 2% from a Megalomaniac Wizardry + 2 other nodes to your liking. A medium thread of hope allows you to pick up another 3% for 10% total.

You can get another 1% if you run imbalance guard impossible escape instead but I took thread for the corrupted blood roll.

It's a pure bossing build so I have dropped Grace entirely, you can drop one of the jewel slot to run a mana reservation cluster if you want to add grace back.

Hi) As I understand, your simulacrum is not in farm mode? only 5 rewards.... I usually have 6-7 on wave 30 depending of map. Why Bosses die separately from mobs? Check your dps...

Here is a video for an example

Depends on the simu layout. Do you think your bosses died fast? Also our builds are totally different.

My own version of "tanking" uber sirius. By skipping the entire last phase.

I literally cannot post a video here, why you guys take it as a dps flex contest? like that guy who "kills" simu bosses with regular mobs.

i have about 31-32 ex left.. I've been dying a lot lately and my dps isnt up to snuff. Any recommended upgrades?

It's the end of the league, we are going to be flexing what our builds can do here. Personally, I found it difficult to dodge thrill of the void together with the dot on the ground so skipping the entire final phase is much better for me.

I have been experimenting a lot with tankiness the past week or so. My conclusion is that we won't be able to truly face tank mechanics like ES builds can. The best compromise that I found was to stack max res with ~3.8k hp so that you don't have to play perfectly. E.g. I am tanky enough to tank shaper beam and bullet hell phase in uber uber elder. I only need to be careful with the slams in the later phases.

Tankiness
_________

No chaos res on gear, drop malevolence into another link with divine blessing + life tap. Run purity of elements instead. Get a megalomaniac with grace mana reservation (sublime form) + enduring charge on hit (enduring composure). Your spell suppression isn't capped at 100% as well. You want to aim for ~3.8k hp or so.

Run Jade + Granite flask with added armour / evasion with 25% increased effect together with cinderswallow urn. Quicksilver flask can be reduced curse effect or something. Having a anti corrupted blood roll on a jewel would help too.


DPS
___

Accuracy is way too low at 80%, your fuse count is only at 15.

Attack speed on flask is only good if you have mageblood, so you will need to get it from your gear / tree instead. You will need ~2.4 aspd.

Awakened gems on your main EA link is an easy dps boost, get yourself a precision + malevolence watcher's eye with aspd / faster ailment. You should also be running ignite proliferation instead. Deadly ailment should be swapped with elemental damage with attack support.

Get better cluster jewels, its a good source of damage and helps with accuracy / aspd. Roll a timeless jewel for burning damage / faster ignites as well.

For bossing, swap purity of elements with wrath and ignite proliferate with deadly ailment.

Deathless Uber Exarch and Eater showcase

Purity of Elements > Wrath for these fights due to ignite and shock being annoying. Took flask nodes over DoT multiplier for sustain / more eHP as well.

Still at a respectable 127m Sirius DPS / 38m Uber DPS with good survivability. I didn't get to showcase it in Exarch, but it is able to tank all her mechanics just fine.
