[3.18] Gryph's Tank Simulator - A Detonate Dead Ignite Elementalist

How about Crest of Desire for a helmet, instead of the Hands? +8 gem level, +4 from empower, takes you to 33. Perhaps also +1 level from amulet or weapon, and we're two corpse levels higher than at 30.

Well, with Crest of Desire you get to level 29. There's no room for Empower, which also means no room for GMP either. All that said what you would end up with is a 70% quality level 30(assume +1 elsewhere too) Unearth that fires a single projectile at a time.

I don't really think it's worth it personally (I like having GV) but could work. Would have to enchant it too.

TLDR: I don't like it because I want to have Greater Volley, it only gets you to level 29 on its own, and you'd still have to enchant it.

Oh, one socket, I'm an idiot.

Any tips for simulacrum?
Around wave 22 it feels like block stops working and I just die constantly upon entering the map.
I cleared everything I could with just 10-15 ex investment but simulacrum and now it just bothers me, the build itself feels amazing and I don't want to have any unfinished content now.
I have ~ 87% phys reduction, overcapped resists, 75/74% block chance but still I'm nowhere as tanky as you are in your video (only in simulacrum).

You don't seem to have much chaos resistance at all. You *need* capped chaos res to finish Simulacrums. You'll start seeing phys as extra chaos damage mods(which bypasses ES) and chaos pen very frequently after wave 20.

The other mod that'll be rough is +Fire Res. This is just a damage check though.

Oh snap, I was thinking about everything but chaos res. Would also clarify why I get stunned with full ES. FML thanks a lot, gonna buy some stuff and try with that.

how would you level to something like this and when to switch?
level as armabrand to around 85?

I mean, you could easily switch once all gear is equip-able (around level 70). Or just use it sooner. DD Ignite has become very popular for the December Events because of how strong it is. The basic versions use desecrate+spectres which require no gear.

But yeah, Arma brand, flameslinger, cremation, or however you like.

Chaos res really did help, thanks!
Got up to wave 26 where I realized I have no idea about simulacrums and Kosis just wrecked me with his backstab teleport thingy multiple times on a phys as extra fire mod.
Once I figure out this I think it'll be a piece of cake!
Do you have any planned secret builds for the upcoming league?

I don't plan secret builds for next leagues until the manifesto and/or patch notes are out. :P

Also you need some source of ES on kill. That would help a lot in Simulacrums as an additional source of ES recovery.

And your ruby flask has shock immunity during flask effect which could be anything else as Tempest Shield already gives shock immunity.

Oh and get you a better explodey chest. I would try for at least T1 roll for consistency.
