I have one question: Why does watcher's eye have to be 35%+?

It's honestly just an arbitrary Number. The higher the conversion, the better. And from my experience 35% ones are still pretty affordable. You really don't want any of the low rolls.

Uber elder down (2 deaths.. went in unptimized af) in delve. I still haven't changed gear much, deciding what to spend my currency on rn.

Gear used on kill (no roots, no herald of ice and no frostbomb cuz I was lazy):

E: Stuff to upgrade:

Chest: Belly 6l
Weapon: High pdps imperial claw
Left ring: new one with more phys dps and accuracy
Flasks: Wise oak lol

Already got 2 abyss bubonic with decent abyss jewels in stash waiting for my 6l belly to fix res.

Ayy, big gz on the Kill :) Roots and a Belly etc. would certainly help to make the next time deathless :P But I don't consider Roots necessary, they just really help to cover up some mistakes.

Yep, 6l Belly would be nice for the Life now.
On the Flasks: besides the Wise Oak for bosses , grab a perfect or one off perfect Atziris now. Should be pretty affordable, so no reason not to.
And yeah, from now on it's mostly improving Rares.

Cool to see you having such success with the Build, hope it's a fun time :)

Every 1% of conversion adds huge dps boost - check it out in pob. Have 36% watcher - so 40% will give me 80k damage

ok so ive played a fair bit now and gotten abit lucky.


this is my updated build https://pastebin.com/G2KafX21

if any1 got time to take a look and give some pointers on where to go next i would love it! i know i need to do uber. get enchants. change the tree but idk if i should upgrade my claw next? or what i should remove on my tree

Hey Guffinn,

I was wondering if you could offer any suggestions to me. I noticed that I'm pretty squishy for some reason in T13 and higher; I occasionally find myself getting one shot or very close to it. I'm sitting at 5700 HP, which I feel is high enough. My resists are all at 110+.

Also, I noticed some sort of life drain from a rare monster that I seem to not be able to combat with a flask that removes bleeding. Here are the affixes:

Allies Deal Substantial Extra Physical Damage
Extra Damage
Summons Apes from Trees
Empowers Allies
Resists Elemental Damage

I just want to understand what mechanic is draining my health, to protect from other monsters that may also have it. When I pop remove bleed from my flask, whatever he hits me with burns right through very quickly until I'm dead. His first hit gets me down to like 15% HP too which makes me feel really squishy. I can kill him very quickly but am just confused about why a rare is so freaking dangerous lol. Maybe I'm just not used to playing melee.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, and I know it will take a while to get used to playing differently after using my other build (ED) for so long.

Thanks for your help. I also upgraded a few things and feel like I'm getting closer to finalizing my gear. Still need an ammy and a ring, and hopefully good yellow claw.

I might be missing something, but are you only doing about 50% ele conversion?

You analyzed that quite right: getting your Uber Lab goes a long way. The additional Points (and Points you save from the travelling), are useful for bolstering Life and Offenses both.

Other than that, work on your Rares for now. Especially the Rings, get ones with WED. Like I always say: check the Trade Links.
When in doubt, upgrade your Rares. I stress this in every part of the Gear Segment :)
I wouldn't start going for Enchants or a Claw, that's pure endgame min maxing. Get decent rares first.

Hope that gives you a starting point.

Yo dude, cool to see you're still going at it :)

First of all, 5.7k Life is fine but you can safely go way higher. Life on the Amulet and maybe 100 Life Boots goes a long way.
But most importantly of all: get your Uber Lab done. It's just a flat out Damage and Life Boost through the additional Points.
And as always: more Life means stronger Leech, means more Safety.

As for the rare Monster: I don't see any Mods that would get you to Degen tbh.
The only recommendations I can give are: Reave is pretty long Range, there is rarely actually a need to go into Melee Range.
And, just get more Life :D Uber Lab helps tremendously, like I said. No reason to not have it at this point.

Yes, you are missing something :P
40% Winters Spirit, 50% Moonbenders Wing is the Progression Gear, and Endgame we have 40% Winters Spirit and 40% Watchers Eye.
How do you arrive at 50%? The conversion from Winters Spirit is explained in the Tree Segment, and the Conversion from Items in the Gear Segment.

Ty for checking out the Guide tho :)

Thanks! I've had my uber lab done for about two days now. Maybe it just didn't update yet? I got the three extra passives.

I'm sitting at 5900 HP now and looked through your guide, borrowed some stuff from your HC section. Swapped assassins for warlord, which does seem to help quite a bit.

I'm gonna work on getting more life on my boots and ammy. Again, the help is appreciated!

Its not only 3 passives, it allows you to start from the Ranger Start as well as the Scion Start. This saves a bunch of Skillpoints that were prior used to travel from Scion to the other Nodes.

Check the endgame trees, you can unspec the many nodes connecting from the Scion Start to the Rest, as Long as you are connected to the Ranger Start
