Hi Brown, first tks for the build i been following from the begining of mine.
Can you take a look at my build, i use almost all of your build, current at level 85 using cyclone, i changed one of the gems, Fast attack for a mana leach because i have a lot of probs with mana.
I think because of my low hp im having a lot of troubles.

Hey there, thanks for the build, this is my first time playing a melee build that got me above lvl 85.

I'm sitting on 5.6k life, hoping to get more on jewels. I have around 300c rn in Flashback, how should i go about to upgrade my gameplay? I've been looking for a better main hand (rare thrusting sword with 300pdps and 7crit base) and checking it with poe building, it doesnt seem to make a dps difference.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Thanks for the build. I chose it as my league starter for the Flashback event.
I have reached maps, still with Scaeva/Bringer of Rain, and I am having some survivability issues. I initially went with the Slayer ascendency but, although I completed cruel lab (and almost merc lab if I hadn't been one shot right after killing Izaro), I have not assigned the points yet as I am considering switching to Champion. I saw you said in a recent post that you would still choose Slayer over Champion. Wouldn't Champion be more manageable/have better survivability? It seems to me that insane leeching is enough to facetank provided you cannot get one-shot and you can land hits consistently. This does not seem to be my case unfortunately. I am struggling to cap my resists and can very much get one-shot at this point.

Also, would you still take VP with the Champion ascendency? The gain would be less substantial than on Slayer since Champion is not focused on leeching; plus you lose the benefits of the life regen from Conqueror. If not, how else would you adapt the skill tree for the Champion ascendency.

Finally, as it stands, I already have fortify up at all times from leap slamming. I think I would therefore forgo Fortitude in favor of something else. Any particular reason why you choose to take Fortitude with champion? What do you replace Fortify with on your movement skill? Endurance charge on Melee Stun? Maim? Blood magic? Chance to bleed?

Thanks

Hello!

Firstly, thanks a lot for making this guide, the build is awesome and I've had a lot of fun playing it so far(flashback race).

I've got a few questions that I hope you may answer, I will start with showing my eq:

Spoiler

I am chaos spamming most of my eq, and I wanted to ask what should I focus on next - getting a better sword (with crit chance) or shaper stat stick? Maybe something else entirely? Also, should I stick to Slayer or should I change to Champion if I want to tackle end game content?

Thanks in advance!

First of all, nice gears you got there, especially that diamond ring :D Regarding the Shaper stat stick, it's not necessary, all of the uber contents were done and recorded using Death's hand. If you have some spare currencies, save it for a better swords, or you can try to annul your rapier to get rid of the stat mods on it and craft crit chance (only do this before you have enough currencies to buy a new one tho).

For endgame contents, Slayer is good enough, but if your health pool is low (< 6.5k - 7k), you're gonna have trouble with stun and freezes, especially against shaper and uber elder, quick way to fix this is to use Kaom's roots or else switching to Champion.
