Hey! Happy you are enjoying the build and after looking at your build there are a couple of things I'd want to change so you might feel a tad tankier and have some more dps.

First I'd be looking to recraft AT LEAST 1 of your weapons. So I'd be on the hunt for one rare that has some good pDps which can be like 300-350 which shouldn't be too hard to craft. You'd be dropping the relentless fury first before Jack the Axe since its lower Pdps and the things it gives you arent the greatest.

Second I would drop your Overflowing Chalice for a quartz flask with warding. I think maybe one of the big reasons you might be feel a bit squishier is that you get cursed and then take a lot of damage. So swapping out that should help a lot.

I think it definitely possible to do this build without the soul taker, but then you have to drop some aura which in you already are. I would drop blood and sand for Flesh and stone(Makes ranged things do less damage) which can help with some tankiness and still swap stances, but if you are struggling too much with mana then you can keep what you have. If you feel up to the task you can grind the cards, but if the drop rate is too rare then it might not be worth it.

For the helm enchant. Its not 100% needed, but it makes things feel a lot nicer. You can get away without using it but then your damage is only Hit + 3xStorms vs Hit + 4xStorms which does become a decent increase, but I've played the build without it for a while doing just fine.

For end game content you probably can do it without them. When I league started the build I was a glad and was doing red elder, sirus and I did one uber elder, but the uber elder was a little tough imo as glad. You'll be able to do it but you'll need to understand the mechanics of each fight as they might be a bit longer than the Champ version.
I'll also go test some things out without the helm enchant and soul taker on some bosses to see how things feel

Thanks for the tips! I made all the changes you recommended and I'm feeling tankier and doing more damage. I think relentless fury was my biggest problem. I essence crafted a mediocre axe and it made a big difference.

I plan to respec into champ at some point because I want this build to melt bosses. Is there anything I should be aware of before I respec?

Hi,


Very Nice Build, i reach lv 94 actually,

I have some problem to be cap at 30% resist chaos without the flask (im at 12% actually)
I switch to the cluster yesterday, what at big up to my sustain and dps :O !


Actually i want to switch my axe for a one with a better dps (actually i have 410 pdps ) , but i'm not sure about the roll and mods to avoid for the next :

- avoid bleeding
- avoid crit chance and crit multiplier

- must try to get a axe with a slow speed attack ? because if 'im cap to 4 bladestorm, i must to not now renew quickly my bladestorm the time to proc my second attack for each baldestorm ?



Thanks for your advices

Doing this build as my 1. ever, played for less than 2 weeks currently lvl 93.
Got the helm enchant with the +1 to bladestorm and its doing great so far.

Definitely have to use my flasks a lot, but I enjoy the mechanical aspect.

Is the gear fully updated or are you still on break?

Ty for everything! :)
