Mentioned here by SB about how awesome Klaatu is:

The main benefit of this amulet is the Hive buff, which adds 25% of our base Vitality to Energy (around 240 free stat points in energy on my paladin) boosting the damage of our spell procs and also shoots poison clouds at nearby enemies which deal ~30k poison dps. This synergises nicely with Tantrum as we already have to get close to enemies anyway. Just do not forget to add it to your prebuff routine for the extra duration.

thanks. somehow skipped that, my bad

gotta be the most detaild guide i ever read for any game i played and hell those where alot.

Hey all. Need some help/feedback with my tantrumdin. I have some midgame gear/early gear and trying to progress on ubers. I can farm k3k, duncraig if i get lucky and dont get instagibbed (havent killed assur yet) and fautzville blows me up super fast. I feel like i have decent gear but am just so squishy. Where can i make improvements, outside of the obvious like getting krys runeword (working on that but farming is super hard) I've eaten maybe 50 or so signets. rings are shit, getting new ones soon hopefully. some space on items for MOs, need TCD maybe(?) since my resist pierce is capped. As far as mechanics go, im fairly decent, i know how tantrumdin works, kite with tantrum, dont stand in same place for too long, blink to ranged mobs. Only my vanity charm is upgraded. Staff/runeflesh to buff

You'd be better off socketing Jah in your high armor pieces, after MOing them to max def, than to stack resists the way you're doing. Also, get started on crafting some %vit jewels like stated in the guide. From the looks of it you shouldn't be having tooo much trouble in Duncraig... try to make it your goal to never tank any hits. That way when you do get hit it's easier to manage. Maybe reevaluate the way you are kiting. But definitely pump that defense and life up more, while easing up on the resists.

Ah even in the TU? I think thats where i messed up. So 80ish all resist is fine then for this build?

Hello. Probably you can temporary change yout Jitan's Kamon to "Kra" RW. It has 19k+ def instead of 4k in Jitan's. It must realy increase total def. For example:

In my case total def incresed from 80 k to 200 k
Try to make jevels with FCR, FHR, IAS, and res (cold is good for your stats imho)
gl

i have 200k def right now with kamon, is it worth giving up the offensive to gain that much armor?

Experiment, choose the result you prefer. It's all about what works for you.

How does Akarat's Trek work with a Tantrumdin? Any good?

I don't see why not. They're not bad but I'd prefer to go with the Nephalim runeword for boots if you've got nothing else to work with.
