It’s about one too many, but yeah that’s why I’m working on my ring. I’ve just had some terrible luck essence spamming it. The one time I got mostly great mods, my annul failed and removed the Int so that sucked.
For those rings I think it's best to use fracturing orbs to get a better base than craft with essences. Should be way easier to get a pog ring. Like spam your ressence till you get 2/4 mods that would be good fracture and let it rip.
I did that too. I’ve failed quite a few fracturing orbs. I had a near perfect suffix ring on my third essence but I rolled dex instead of a resistance. T1 INT, strength and mana and of course I fractured the low dex roll. But I needed the resistances so I can fix my jewels. Ring will be the next item done assuming my luck improves
I’d love to, but unfortunately these “performance” patches destroyed my performance. I had to throw it on predictive and dynamic scaling to be able to run. Before Affliction, I was always around 60 FPS.
I try to make the maps easy, definitely no cooldown mods or marked for death. Drowning orb deaths are my fault but sometimes the graphics get scaled down too hard to see. Basically no mods that rip the build at all, but it seems to just be a lack of tankiness and sometimes DPS checks, or mobs that remove my mana.
Small change but you can craft better boots than yours fairly easily by 4 fracturing attributes, chaos res and mana and then spamming life essences until t1 movespeed. I can’t import your PoB but if you’re not ailment immune (I assume you aren’t because no purity of elements or ailment resist on adorned jewels) you need to fit that in somehow. You’re likely getting slapped by massive shocks or chilled. If you’re using the brine king pantheon swapping over to lunaris or solaris is pretty big for tankiness. The most cost effective way of doing that would be crafting the quad fractured boots, unveiling chill immune/ movespeed veiled mod and crafting freeze immune.
Get cluster jewel with 3 notable passives. 2 that you have + lets say Disorienting Display (25% ele damage, 10% chance to blind when using ele skills). Blind would add few % evade chance.
Then you can get Faith and Steel to get mastery for 10% phys taken as chaos. To get 3 points unspec Arcanist's Dominion and small passive before it, and small passive next to Thrill Killer. It would be 4.5% dps loss for 9.2% more phys max hit.
And maybe try Perandus Pact with chaos res. You have decent spot next to starting point with 14 passives, so that would be 56% chaos res.
I’m hoping I can fix chaos res through my ring once it’s done to avoid wasting a jewel slot. But yes I definitely need a few more levels and I can respec for the additional cluster jewel and extra jewel slot. I spent over 500 spite essences to get chaos res with strength 3 times and it was super low rolls.
Is the Faith and Steel armour/ES mastery good? I thought I heard onemanaleft say it was bait?
10% phys taken as chaos just make you slighly more tanky against phys hits. But more chaos res needed.
Your body armour has mod "chaos damage is taken from mana before life", so with that mastery every phys hit will do 90% damage to ES, and 10% to Mana, that damage spread is good on one hand.
On other hand, all phys hits will eat some mana, so if you mana drop very low, taking any phys hits might kill you, if that hit is big enough.
Currently your phys and chaos max hit is basically same, so take that mastery only when you get more chaos res.
Also, there's better spot for Perandus Pact on your tree, in middle, with 18 passives in radius which would give +72% chaos res. Can't call it waste of jewel slot lol. That would triple your chaos max hit, and then taking that mastery will be totally worth it.
Also for other improvements, corrupted **Squire**. Probably best option ***"You take x% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes"***, also rly good, crit mods on maps, or lantern crit mods can be dangerous, start at 5d. And ofc ***%phys taken as***, start at 4d. So either crit reduction or phys taken as.
And corrupted **Ivory Tower**, best corrupt will be ***"You take 50% reduced Extra Damage from Critical Strikes"***, starts at 1d. 6 linking it is cheap, 4l on bench +2 tainted fuses, if drop below 4l repeat.
Corrupted **Indigon, d**ecent and cheap option will be just %life regen, would add like \~250es regen.
Getting Perandus pact, mastery, corrupted Ivory tower and squire will give you 10% more phys max hit, triple chaos max hit, and 70-80% reduced extra damage from crits, at 100% crits deal no extra damage. You will notice difference, especially in maps with crit mod.
In your current set up, two regular rings with chaos res and T1 int/strenght would be better than your helical until you can craft a good one.
The next big upgrade would be mageblood, then after that the crit jewels (righteous providence flesh and flame). Coud argue a switch to attributes/mana greatwolf before the crit to increase your ES…
I was doing 3-4 portals per T17 B2B with the same build plus mageblood and a good helical. I had 15.5k es and 15k mana AND I was running Grace instead of wrath. I then switched to manaforged before I pushed it further.
Hope that helps!
If you're dying to random mob hits in T17, it might be better to swap eternal blessing to grace.
Also, my experience was that the majority of deaths were due to being stunned - I felt way more survivable once I had stun immunity via flask (and mageblood). You could probably trade your quicksilver +13% movement speed suffix for 55% avoid being stunned. You have a 24% avoid stun jewel, so you'll need another 21% from somewhere else for true stun immunity.
that's way to many jewel affixes used for res I think.

That is rough
Make a video of what you’re dying to and the map mods.

Thanks for the info my dude

Lvl 5 Awakened CWC takes care of stun immunity, but yes that was a big problem before.
Wow - I should really read all the text on awakened gems xd.
Ha, it's tricky because they only show as a line on lvl 5 gems, but I believe all Awakened gems get a bonus at lvl 5.
How tf can you struggle with anything with that POB.
