Missing a few pieces to be comfortable in Hell but brute forced Andariel.

Heres a snip-it of my build at this point. Think its about time I use up a reset stats/skills to clean it up a bit. Would love some input if you have any! Thanks Frank for all the help so far!

My biggest issue I think so far is STR requirements. Had to resort crafting some jewels for 12%-14% less requirement and kinda worried I'm going to use that a bit too much and should be focusing on using my sockets for Ele SD.

EDIT: WOOPS. Belt is just a piece of junk with some resists and a perfect diamond.
Left ring is a +1 skills ring and some useless stats I believe.

I recommend taking 10 or so points from Apprenticeship and put them to Summon Jinn. You'll get a lot more damage that way while losing only couple % of avoid damage and some life on totems.

Sounds good! Thank you

EDIT: Night and day diffrence! Totems are def staying alive still and now my Jinn actually stay alive and that sweet resistance shred is great! Thank you!

I was getting reports that Lategame v2 wasn't surviving in Fauzt, so I adjusted it some to be a Soulbond build instead, with Der Nebelring. I was running a very similar build in beta and hastily updated it to include items I wanted to have myself, but apparently that didn't work out so great. Sorry

Dirge not getting activated by resummon looks like.

In your opinion is soulbond tankier or more dps?

I’m curious because (as a new player - even to D2 - but massive experience with PoE so familiar to some of the mechanics) I didn’t see anything jump out immediately to me that would say “this is better than x for damage / defense” and I haven’t really understood what the advantages of one or the other is. (Outside of soulbond being good if wanting on kill effects for farming maybe?)

Thanks for the guide though so far. I have loosely been following it and will hit 90 in a few minutes, so it’s working wonders for me so far, and going into it I had no idea how to make runewords, tiered uniques, or MO’s (or what arcane crystals were). But you gave enough info I figured the rest out. Thanks a ton <3

Definitely tankier. Soulchain should be more DPS, but I haven't mathed it out.

A spot in the guide about Corrupted Worm could be nice

. Even if your opinion is to just go for what you need

We get insane value out of life/mana wormholes, but you can also use %ene to cap the 2000 energy.

Im struggling a little with the 125 Charm Bosses. Tengaze was a walk in the Park but Fauzt hurts a lot. Sitting on 12k Frostclaw Dmg. But DEF sucks .... Pierce is at 100 + Jinn .. So i think we need an Necrolyte Merc with good Gear for that or im wrong ?

You don't want to bring Frostclaw to Fauzt, maybe I should clarify that. The density is too much for frostclaw.

Try lategame v2 for Fauzt

Which one totem is better for 120/125 ubers+ - Frostclaw or Stormeye? (i guess Stormeye, but i saw videos with Frostclaw and now i dont know

)

Also why ppl maxing one totem and give 10 points to other two?

(i check talents on leaderboard thats why im asking)
