Great build that I'm trying for my last one of the league. I spent about 15 exalted to get it to where it feels good. Also had a two socket abyss helmet drop for me last night and it feels somewhat better. Trying shaper tomorrow before I retire for the league.

Thanks :) Let me know how it goes.

Just letting you know that you are missing quite a significant amount of damage and clearspeed, linking Frost Blades into the boots and dumping the Shield Charge or Herald of Ice-CoH-Assassin's Mark-Onslaught combo. I think with your gear, you can easily fit a Frost Blades-linked Lightning Mitts into the build and swap in Tombfists for Shaper.

Hey, Thanks for the quick reply. Wanted to know how much dps should I be aiming for end game, I'm currently at 43k molten DPS just with HoT and Wrath, with flasks and charges around 120k.

Thanks for the feedback. I will try the Thundermitts and see what happens. Also, got the Shaper first try although being more used to a tankier build, I found myself dead 3x due to 1-shot mechanics I usually ignore. :)

Eathb, thanks for the reply kind sir.

What mod gives all that fire damage on those elder gloves? I couldn't figure it out looking over the affix sites. And a similar glove with added lightning would be better? I can't understand why lightning damage is BiS over say fire since MS does fire right?

Tooltip isn't reliable. Best to import your character gear into my POB and compare it with mine although some of my items are quite luxury. If you just link your gear (including passive tree, jewels, or even easier just make your char public), I'll be able to just look at it and determine whether it can do Shaper.

Essence of Hysteria glove craft. So yeah, would be a very costly crafting process if you are not lucky. There isn't one for Thunder unfortunately, which I would be using. That essence craft wouldn't affect Molten Strike at all in this situation.

Nice work!

I just realised something about your gear. You could actually have quite an amazing setup, one that is arguably better than mine. As you have a white socket in your 6L, you don't actually need to spend money on buying pseudo linked gloves and can just place swap Molten Strike and Frost Blades/Wild Strike/Lightning Strike inbetween the slots for bosses. If you wanted even better clear speed, you also do an increased crit strikes/concentrated effects swap.

That way you can also use Tombfists, run Power Charge-Increased Crit Strikes (swap for Orb of Storms for end game bosses) in your helm, run Poacher's Mark instead of Assassin's for a helluva juicy combo.

Alright, I made it public, thanks.

Offensively, your gear could arguably be better than mine, in terms of damage Shaper won't be an issue.

Your life rolls do look to be in the low side though, especially the jewels. Aim for ~5.8k life and then it should be good to go against Shaper.

Yeah, I tried Elder today, and the 1 shot was a big issue, in term of damage I think I have enough. I changed some of the gems / Jewels, currently running on 5.2-3k HP. Trying to get more.

I've had quite a few requests over the past about a Raider version.

This is my take on it:
POB link, https://pastebin.com/M2bh9Jy5

Had to drop life nodes and Beserking to get all the Frenzy nodes. To compensate for the drop in life, I'm using a Belly of the Beast 6L corrupted chest which is worth around 4ex at the end of this league. The reason why I went for the corrupted one is for a white socket to interchange between Molten Strike and a clearing skill (I'm using Lightning Strike atm). In terms of damage, Raider gives more consistent single target Molten Strike damage but the fluidity feels a lot better with Pathfinder. When using the 6L gloves version, the Raider just wasn't anywhere near as good which was why I opted for a corrupted Belly of the Beast to give two clearing options.

Anyhow, it is end game viable. This is a video of my Shaper run.
