I still do not think this build is viable to play without 5+ex.

Have no idea how people have 20ex worth of gear in under 1 week, i've only managed to get 100c and that is with the Chaos recipe.

Build suffers horrifically from stun from ranged monsters, its hopeless on T8+ maps just get stun locked instantly. Damage is also very lackluster but there is not much that can be done about that because I don't have the currency for more damage items/life items and need the life nodes so cant sacrifice for cluster jewels.

Pure luck that I managed to get 3 6-link items without needing to pay a single piece of currency, without that, would be a dead build.

Not a great build - love the mechanics behind it but just ain't viable unless you have currency upfront.

Going to re-roll into a totem build as that is far cheaper and can hit T16 before needing any end-game gear.

I've league started this build twice (once in legion as an assassin and now as heiro). Basically get into maps on SSF until i got a few lucky ex drops for a pledge.

I don't know how you're getting killed considering this build offscreens and deletes bosses like no one's business.

Quite simply, not doing enough damage, and as a result not tanky enough (low leech and swamped with mobs) Blue mobs take 1-2 frostbolt volleys (each volley is spammed with ice nova) and Yellow mobs take 3-4.

You have no diamond flask - could be one with freeze immunity.
Much more damage, much more freezings and disabling one common death cause getting chain freezed. And it's cheap.

On maps you can play with a rolling doom approach - just fire the path you go and clear offscreen when you have rolled dangerous map mods.

And you have no instant life flask - that helps a lot, too. Leech should be enough.

And reinsert the cold penetration gem - you need the damage against cold resistant mobs to freeze them long enough. Not cold resistant don't matter, they die fast. This together with the diamond flask for more than 50% crits should help a lot.

And this is a glas cannon build - so shoot first and ask later :) . I played a barbarian style toon last season, so a bit of dying from getting too near and holding out too long. It's more like change position with teleport before eating damage. That works for me better and reduced dying a lot.

PoB:
* If you are getting errors you are probably not using the fork. Link to fork: https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/releases
the fork is much better & the original PoB seems it hasn't been updated since June.
* Yes, real single-target DPS = DPS shown in PoB (fork) multiplied by about 3.6 (it's a rough estimate).
* Intensify 4 in PoB config is outdated (maximum got changed to 3), but PoB properly caps it to 3 anyways, so it doesn't actually change anything currently.
* I'll update the PoBs with better config & alt quality gems soon. Waiting for them to fix some issues (alt quality not being saved properly).

This build is meant to be decently tanky, if you are dying once per map then either you're trying to farm T19 full delirium or something's wrong with your setup. If you don't have money for Pandemonius I'd strongly suggest Evil Eye jewel for blind, and if you don't have stun avoidance you should consider Brine King pantheon. Cinderswallow is huge for mapping, you stay topped constantly and it negates less recovery/no leech/regen maps.

This is not glass cannon build. 4500/3000 hp/es + 50% MOM (with high mana pool) + constant auto generation of end. charges with immortal call + Ice nova covering whole screen. And im not even talking about blind aura from jevel.

Then all main items from the guide are gathered, it is really hard to die :)

After getting the Glorious Vanity gem I feel a lot more squishier. What could be the problem?
