[BIG UPDATE, +VIDEOS!] [3.25] LACERMAN 2 BUILD (Fast ClearSpeed + EZ to Play + All Content + Tanky)

yeah most bosses are hard to keep flasks up but Sirus especially. Everytime you think its a good time to pop flasks he teleports into a invul phase. I usually go for like 2 life flasks and a quicksilver.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if I can just jump away from him one my flasks are empty. Soul of Ryslatha would fill them in a minute or so.
Another solution might be Lions Roar+Basalt removal for the sake of HP+Sulphur Flasks.

When I was playing a necromancer, I swapped all my flasks to life flasks.

btw: New belt for bossing
I'll upgrade it though with Harvest and 20% damage craft.

--Edit--
Just did Shaper & Elder Guardians at Maven Arena. 1 death with shapers, deathless with elders.
Invitation was scoured to white though.
Passives put to Zana, so working on Explody Chest now :)

Sirus A8 completed :)

@rsge01

If I want a chest like yours, do I need to risk annuling explody?

I need to remove thorns for the sake of +maximum life and +X% max life.

--edit--
So I bought this for 3 exa. I think it will be easier to put all remaining stats. What do you think?

I'll do it this way:
1> bench craft armor+life
2> fill remaining slots with resists(fire/cold/chaos) via harvest
3> augment life (suffixes are filled so I cant roll life regen, also armor+life mod is blocked with crafting bench)
___if life rolls ~70 I'll keep it
4> remove benchcrafted armor+life for the sake of 8% max life
5> polish the remaining resists with add/remove harvest

Is my thinking pattern good?

Getting just explode mod chest for 3ex is good BUT it depends on what resists you need.
If you're aiming for triple T2/T1 resists you will probably be spending much more currency for the resists than for getting explode.

Lacerman will have a guide up soon but here's what I suggest

(In case you need chaos res, which would be the best place to use it).
Spam Aberrant fossils till you hit T2/T1 chaos res + another high tier res.
If you hit a good Chaos + other res, make sure the 3rd spot is either empty or something removeable (like a low tier res which you can remove/add via harvest later).

Then clear the prefixes --> 3x aug phys
3rd one will guarantee explode
--> Remove phys
if you remove reflect, perfect, now you can remove light and only explode will remain.
Then as you suggested with the life spam and done.

If you hit explode --> aug again to get it back
if you hit Lightning --> remove phys again and hope it works.
if not --> 2x aug phys again to get explode back.

@PrimusLightNova

Hi,
Yes. This is how I thought. There is a little risk involved.

This is my current one.

It is time to start spamming life with harvest.
It's quite expensive though, 2ex per one life roll.

btw: 6% chaos/cold :D

Crafting info for explody chest is added. We made it together with PrimusLightNova. Also Unnatural Instinct is added to Even Further Upgrades section.

Just something I noticed, in the meta gear, when only an enhance gem is being used for Blood Rage (no more Increased Duration), you could put it in a 4 link with Berserk and an aura. Most likely Dread Banner at a cost of just 1% more mana reservation for 12% more impale effect.

It becomes insane in further upgrades with Aul's Uprising. You can now 4 link Blood Rage, Berserk, Pride and Enhance. Pride can get up to 94% increased area of effect for free! Or -4% to physical damage reduction with divergent pride. This does come at a cost of another gem since Herald of Purity and Flesh and Stone came into play. Just something to keep in mind.

This granted %2.0 DPS to Meta Gear but only %0.1 DPS to Required Gear for some reason, also resulted in Increased Duration had to go on Required Gear. I think it's forgiving there especially for people with less experience with the game. Also people going for Aul amulet will probably want to go for DPS with Herald of Purity and Flesh and Stone which is better for single targets instead of more Aoe which is better for clearing. Because of these reasons, I didn't do the change. But thanks for the idea!

Quality does not increase defenses is not really good and gives +14 life, better to have the extra armor I think. So I'd go with the first one. You can then craft second one and sell it. For the first one, do remove lightning. Now we have 2 phys. mods. Do remove phys. If it removes reflect, perfect. If explody gets removed, you need to do aug phys. till you get explody back and repeat from the beginning. Then do aug life and then add/remove life until you get T1/T2 life. Craft "%8 Increased Maximum Life and % Increased Maximum Mana" on crafting bench as the 3rd prefix.

I changed this part to Aug phys until you get explode instead of x3 aug phys. at last minute as we can get explody mod with first or second augs. Once again, thanks for your ideas my friend!

Unfortunately quality to life was already in there at the moment I bought it :S
There isn't a way to make it normal quality, is it?

There is no way. But if you want to go with that one, just add remove resists until you get T1/T2 resist you need. Then do aug life and then add /remove life until you get T1/T2 life roll. Lastly craft "%8 Increased Maximum Life and % Increased Maximum Mana" on crafting bench as the 3rd prefix.

Yeah. I'll roll resists using harvest with remove/add specific element.

Since you are talking about explody chests I could use some help too.
This is my current "placeholder" astral plate that i bought for cheap and it just had nice resists.

(i have 6,2k life without high life on it and % max life)
I was thinking that maybe I could turn it into somehting good by annuling something, probably phys like you were saying, but getting rid of "stun and block recovery" will be hard.
