@riddyl's idea:
Get base build. Drop demiurge and get more Vessel of Retribution/SoE. But now his build is back to a more classic one. Judging by the link https://tsw.vn.cz/acc/char.php?name=blacknoir

I ended up changing again, now running smax both vessels as I have Angiris Star for sustain. Max L&D, then 12 Rapture and 12 Demi. This absolutely ruins Dunc in about 4mins with ~230%mf and picking up every unique. Annoyingly I'm missing quite a few charms, which means my life is too low for Fautz right now.

awesome I appreciate the info, had a few things come up so just waiting to have a bit of free time so I can test some of these out and see how it goes. any suggestions on changing out any sections of the guide? or what sections I really should focus on changing?

edit: unfortunately I've neglected this guide a bit just have had a pretty hectic work schedule etc. so really hoping I can get it caught up with some community support. normally I'd do most of the testing independently.

My issue with dead lake lady was that all the rest of my gear required Str, and the mace requires high Dex. So you end up needing to pump both stats and then energy for fcap, leaving your life quite low. Aeterna for me is better as it requires Str and doesn't have much worse stats, and you can make up 45spf with 3 more jewels.

Some other thoughts...

I think for shield slot you're best off with spiked/bone shield as it can roll 2 skills and 30%pmsd before shrine roll and bless. Plus you've got 2 additional sockets on top of the aerin shield. I used pally shield for a while though so it's usable.

Budget helm would be the Celestial Orchard set helm as you get pmsd, laek and Tcd. Craft might be better though.

It's pretty easy to roll 11+spf jewels with 2% or more pmsd. This gives you over 300spf before any rolls on items or charms.

I'm playing with a neutraldin right now, but I max vessel of retribution and not vessel of justice. It gives more damage to absolution. After that, I saw this guide. Why vessel of justice is better ? Why are you max justice, and not retribution ? Is there any difference between ? I can't max the two skills, because I know there aren't enough skill points (I max demiurge and sacred armor already, so I need to make a choice) Thx

VoJ has more range (4 units vs 10 units), your spell starts hitting enemies earlier hence potentially more damage when you're running circles around your target.
