This.

I actually skipped malevolence in favor or spellslinger+despair+inc. aoe, opening up mana for flesh and stone for even more survivability.

EDIT: starting to struggle with conquerors. Lack of proper healing mechanics (e.g. devouring diadem + CWDT desecrate) is killing me.

Suggestions on improving without going broke?
oh wait, I'm already broke

Corrupted wand to q30 in the meantime.

Well the answer is usually more lgoh :d Feast of Flesh is so good on top of lgoh from ring. Also more life or dodge from shield, Atziri Mirror can't be ideal in your case. I would also consider another thread of hope for Geart of Oak and saving some points on Swift Venoms.

I'm a dummie and have int problems, that's the only reason I'm still sitting on Atziri's.

oh, btw. does barrage actually trigger LGOH each projectile? I think this is the 2nd time I'm using LGOH mechanics (the last time was blight with life on spell hit with BL), so I am kinda clueless.

Yeah. And in the final build, we fire 14 projectiles, around 2.6 times per second, so for example getting extra +10 LGoH is extra 300 life gained/s

this is not a great boss build in that you need enough damage to kill the boss before you run out of flasks, esp if you did not take perfect agony like me. I was able to kill all guardians / shaper by just death running with full flasks, but cannot kill sirus 8 right now, he just one shots you when you run out of flasks, and he does not allow you to ramp up poison damage.

I am also carrying a second life flask with me, with the life flask charges gain pantheon, for certain bosses (mostly just sirus for now since I have enough damage for everything else)

With 20 LGOH I was comfortable clearing 20 simulcrum and all t16s though, so you should probably just map with this char.

Good to hear that build can handle 20 simulacrum. For Sirus, he is just in really bad state atm after the "balance" changes, he is an issue for a lot of builds. But I believe there are some "cheap" tricks to improve bossing. For example stacking faster poisons + self poison golden rule and Divine Flesh is first thing that comes to my mind. Divine Flesh should be especially powerful against Sirus because of his damage output (all damage types).

I am currently experimenting with Voices + 3x Haemorrhage + 3x Wasting Affliction + 3x Feast of Flesh (this saves a lot of points for extra EHP while still getting us most of what we need), but 2x Feast of Flesh + Antivenom + Golden Rule + Divine Flesh (+ maybe apeps on top) instead of some Keystone should be somewhat doable.

problem with sirus and golden rule is he does not allow you to get full stacks, he is constantly immune / dropping off poison, so unless you get natural 85% Choas res, you are going to have a bad time using divine flesh.

The other big issue is I think most of his beams/attacks are not dodgeable.

If I can actually get stacks, Sirus would be a complete joke. For reference I killed boss in wave 20 Simul by just building stacks for ~5s, die, and watch him tick from 70% to 0%.

Hmm yeah that might be annoying. But also getting 85% chaos res would probably not be that hard, we do not really use a lot of slots (and swapping shield for res shield is always an option).

On another note

Small build update:

21th March 2020
- Improved Cluster Jewel tree by a bit (more survivability, possible Voices instead of Large Cluster later after PoB gets support for it)

I really really want to make one wander witch is better this one or your elemental hit wander? and how much the gear?

This one is better for mapping +delirium (mostly because of how good is KB for this) while the other one should be better for bossing. For budget, you can start both builds on tabula + basic weapon and upgrade from that.
