Question regarding chest corrupt: 1% maximum resists or +1 level of socketed gems? Socketed gems is 10% more total dps which is huge, however this build is super squishy outside of molten shell (5.8k life, 75% all 4 res, get 1shot by anything that's not shit). Would the 1% extra resists help me not explode during any end-game bossfight or should I just go for more dps? I play Cobra Lash btw

This build with end game setup is not squishy and can face tank t16 metamorphs and 8lvl sirus.
Until you get there it will be in fact squishy AF. Outside of molten shell you can get spell dodge enchant on boots, use stibnite or quarz flask instead of mvn speed flask, stack block nodes on tree with dualwielding and so on. You can also do what i mentioned few posts above.

I think that 1% resist is much better than gem level. At some point you'll have more dmg than you really need. But that's just my opinion.

I did Sirus8, Uelder and stuff. Spent about 40 ex on the build. I like it a lot, but when molten shell isn't up I melt. Crits in delve/map are just 1 shot

From what I can see that is diffrent bettwen me and you is you are using movement flask, have movement speed enchant on boots instead of dodge, you don't have swagger node, u spend lots of points into INT and with smart gearing there isnt need for that.

Sporeguard is not worth tbh. Tested it in Blight while pushing Delve and loss of Phaseacrobatics is noticable. Stuff explode anyway from Pestilent...

Wither on hit, well that's pure luck. You could roll a lot of divines to get that.

As I said before about my testings with Sporeguard, or any other rare chest piece as a matter of fact, I've found solution for lack of Phase Acrobatics.

Solution:

Spoiler

For now I'll stick to Sporeguard. I must say it's amazing on metamorphs and very satisfying. It's also amazing with Plague Bearer and it has build in better dmg reduction (less all dmg) than Arctic Armour (phys + fire).
Extra annoit and 21% chaos resist is very nice too.

Will also look into some rare chests but those stats might be hard to beat.
Some combination of new mods might be good.

Hey, i'm playing the Pestilent Strike version of this build (swapping PS to Viper Strike for hard bosses) and i can confirm : this build is GREAT!

(watch out if you don't have a great PC your fps may go to 40 or something like that (poison xP)

I've spend 2 ex on my off-hand weapon and 4 ex on my main-hand weapon and the damage is great! (no i don't have a watcher's eye)

if you have a budget of 15 to 20 exalts this build will perform amazingly, both offensively and defensively

if you are having trouble staying alive, its because you are not using your Molten Shell correctly, you need to keep your molten shell up 90% of the time if you want to live; and use your Vaal Molten Shell for metamorphs, guardians, etc.

I killed Awakener lvl 8 Sirus when i was lvl 82 i believe and it was easy, i had enough damage and honestly you just need to dodge the "Die!" beams and you are fine.

my gear is exactly like in the "gear" section (accucary rings, dmg. over time amulet, onslaught boots, etc. I got a helm with life, PS enchant, and nearby enemies have -9% to chaos res for 1 ex, but i'd recommend that you craft one yourself)

all my jewels have "inc. maximum life, inc. att. speed. with one handed melee weapons and inc. damage with poison"

i'm eager to try your Glacial Hammer build when i have enough currency :)

Pretty good idea with the jewel. Ill play around with it these days. Maybe a new chest takes place.
Tnx for the contribution! :)

Can you explain dmg reduction part, I don't see any except for 10% max life..?

Is ''increased damage with poison'' or ''poison duration'' on jewels better? Playing as Pestilent Strike.
