Curse Immunity: I swap out my Diamond flask and my glove enchant accordingly to maintain the fire res cap while being curse immune depending on the map I'm running (i.e., if the map says im cursed with something, I adjust flasks accordingly to counter curses). Does that mean even without curses specified in the map, I still have to worry about curses (I farm t17s almost exclusively now)?

Crit Immunity: Thanks for this tip. I'll check it out. What are your thoughts on this approach though?
https://pobb.in/-37wLLC9Hs64 (he ditched the MoM chest armor and went for spell suppress instead -- P.S. I probably dont have a quarter of the $$$ that he spent on his gear lol)

Gear: I'll upgrade the gems and go back to Intensify as advised. I have a decent Progenesis flask too in storage. Worth replacing Rumi's with it once block capped?

* If you have 100% Curse Reduction in your build, that means that you can and will be cursed when playing (either via map mods or via monster cursing you in map) but that you will take no effect from the curses.

* That is a multi mirror build you are looking at. Unless you have a lot more than 1600 divs hanging around, it is probably not worth comparing. :)

* I love Progenesis in certain builds but I am not a huge fan of it in this build but you can certainly feel free to experiment with it since you already have it in hand.

Thanks again for all your input. Much appreciated!

Here's the result of implementing what you had shared thus far: https://pobb.in/fKC566NzaXkF

Summary:
-Rumi's replaced by a 4th flask, Quicksilver and an anti-curse effect always on via Megalomaniac Jewel
-Crit resistance capped


Given the surplus on ele resist, I'm thinking the next upgrade path is to replace the ring and gloves with more offensive suffixes and spell suppress. And then maybe transition into Wrath and profane ground? Thoughts?

* don't forget to add the Punishment Configuration to give you a more realistic look at how the build functions (add the below to your Custom Modifiers)

#Punishment averaged out for low life and non low life
60% Reduced Punishment Curse Effect


* I am confused by what this means: " and an anti-curse effect always on via Megalomaniac Jewel"

I am pretty sure you are curse immune via the Quicksilver flask. I don't think your curse immunity has anything to do with the Mega cluster you are using.


* The Light of Meaning jewel you picked is not great for our build. We do not want evasion if we can help it. Evasion has anti synergy with our Shield. I would recommend replacing the Light of Meaning jewel with one that supports Lightning Damage for a large DPS increase

* Going into Spell Suppression is going to be a massive change to your build. I would not recommend it at this stage. I would focus on your mana pool which is much lower than what we normally see at this point.

* I am a little confused with your POB. How are you using Clarity and Eternal Blessing/Zealotry at the same time?

What I meant was Anti-curse via flasks in Mageblood. Sorry for the confusion. The Clarity just came with the Badge when I bought it. It is never active because of Zealotry. POB updated: https://pobb.in/KAVtTcAlRYBW

I'll replace Light of Meaning with Lightning Damage and then replace gloves and ring with emphasis on mana pool, 50 cast speed when focused and/or extra damage while leeching. I should also replace the Crimson Jewel for corrupted blood because of the 2 useless affixes.

Thank you so much for your time. I owe you a beer!

So I have a noob'ish question, I wanted to get uber Atziri done for the Feared but I keep getting squashed by reflect. Is there an "easy" trick to get her down with this build?

yes.

Follow these two steps (for this Atziri fight only)

1) Switch your minor Pantheon to Soul of Yugul (50% reduced reflected damage)

2) Buy a Sibyl's Lament ring and put it on your left ring slot (80% reduced elemental reflect damage). Put this ring on in place of your rare ring (again make sure it is your left ring slot) just before you get into the boss room.


Between the two items above you will be reflect immune.

You can also do it without a gear swap if you'd like. Instead of the ring, change your passive point allocation temporarily to the Elemental Mastery wheel, theres an option for 60% ele reflect reduction. (5 point cost from your current path).

For permanent/easy swaps in the future, the best way is mageblood + flask suffix % Reduced Reflected Damage

I'm trying to look for the exact suffix for reflected damage reduction but it's not at https://www.poewiki.net/wiki/List_of_flask_suffix_mods. Any chance it was removed in a previous league?

I think that link you provided is for suffixes that can naturally spawn on flasks.

The Reflect Damage suffix is considered a Veiled suffix. See the bottom right of this link:

Here is the veiled suffix info on the wiki:

Looks great!

since you don’t need the Clarity implicit, change the badge amulet to a badge that has an implicit to block attack damage to cap your attack block.

Done.

I also double corrupted my old Cloak of Defiance, the one that got replaced by the 50% reduced crit damage one, to pop my double corrupt cherry during my first incursion attempt yesterday. Got lucky and when I tried it on, it was both a DPS and EHP upgrade -- I'll probably want to transfer the crit dam reduction to shield.

https://pobb.in/LsXua_8BGY-Q

Was able to replace the gloves too for more mana and DPS as advised. I burned 3 veiled orbs trying to hit 50% cast speed on focus so I just settled with the mixed chaos resist for now while I work towards farming for ring crafting budget.

Any thoughts on how I can sneak in Forbidden Flesh + Forbidden Flame Inevitable Judgement into the build without an expensive Voices?

Thanks again for all the guidance. Wouldn't have been able to make these build improvements without your invaluable advice.

nice work!

* I am not that familiar with the versions that use the ultra expensive voices. I think you might get more bang for the buck starting to see if you can upgrade to either the Mirror Ring or Mirror Wand (or both eventually).

You can take a look at my build to see the insane level of stats(DPS, Movement Speed and EHP) I was able to get with the mirror wand and ring.
