Hello fellow exiles!



I am finally back with another build guide! This time its a guide for my first Low-Life build in years. This time around we are using Arc Mines and i have to say, this is the most powerful build i have ever played, yes it's even better than my STD league builds!



The Build is capable of clearing all endgame content VERY EASILY, and can do so deathless.



DISCLAIMER: This Build is not meant for beginners, and can be very expensive. I would not recommend making this build with less than a 5-10ex budget. -But don't worry, it will be worth every penny! ;)



And of course, if you got any questions regarding the build be free to ask me ingame at @TheAmigoBoyz

⚡FAQ

FAQ

How do you generate mana? This is a very good question, and chances are you will be running into some mana problems! It's very important to get an eternal mana flask with the "Cautious"-prefix, which gives it 100% increased recovery when on low life. We need this to be able to sustain our mana. Once you get used to spamming this flask while mapping, you will not have that many mana problems. If you have it on bosses, its because you let your mana fill up to full, which makes the recovery stop, thus requiring you to press the flask again

We choose to make a Low Life build, first of all because we want a higher ES pool. This is gonna prevent oneshots from the syndicate, and overall make us more tanky. On top of that, we get to use more auras, as you on a life build generally would go MoM (and only have one aura in your essence worm). Last but not least we get 30% more spell damage from the Pain Attunement keystone.

⚡The Bandits



We take +2 skillpoints



⚡Pantheons

Pantheons

Solaris (Major) We take this because of the defensive aspects it gives us. The 8% reduced elemental damage taken when you haven't been hit recently also helps agaisnt Uber Elder



Shakari (Minor) We need this to be immune to poisons. Poisons are very annoying as they make us unable to recharge our ES.





⚡Gear breakdown:

The Gear breakdown for the different pieces of gear





Helm:

In the helm slot we use a rare helmet with the very important stat "Place an additional mine". -This is going to double our DPS, so it's a must. On top of that try and get 250+ Energy shield.





Chest:

Shavronnes Wrappings is the only option, since we are a low life build.





Rings:

The First ring is Dream Fragments as it gives us freeze and chill immunity on top of helping us with our mana problems.

The second ring, is going to be Lori's lantern, because it gives us movement speed, resists and the "enemies damage is unlucky"-mod. This is a huge defensive boost, and prevents oneshots.

The second ring can be swapped out for Mark of the Shaper if you are able to get an Elder Dream Fragment





Belt:

Get a Rare Crystal Belt with energy shield and resists. Also get STR if you need it!





Amulet:

Presence of Chayula is the way to go!. Gives us the most ES from the amulet slot, and gives us stun immunity. Also gives us a ton of chaos resists, which helps us against "It, that fled".





Gloves:

i'd recommend using Rare Gloves 150+ Energy shield and resists. If you can get an abyssal socket on it, from the hollow fossils, it will give you more damage and resists. Also get Aspect of the Spider on here, if you don't have it on your boots.





Boots:

Rare boots with resists, 150+ ES and movement speed are the most important stats. Again, if you don't have the Aspect of the Spider on your gloves, get it here.





Weapon:

Any Rare wand/scepter with high damage, crit and added lightning damage. I would also highly recommend getting the extra chaos damage shaper mod on here.





Shield:

Get a Rare Shield with high damage, spell crit 250+ ES. I would take ES any day over damage. Getting 300+ ES with spellcrit is more than enough. You can also craft the Aspect of the Spider on here, if you don't have it on boots or gloves.

⚡My Current Gear

My Gear in 3.5 betrayal League (DPS SPEC)



Bear in mind this is very GG gear, and you dont need to use this much currency to be able to do all content Bear in mind this is very GG gear, and you dont need to use this much currency to be able to do all content

My Gear in 3.5 betrayal League (DELVE SPEC)



For delving we use Inc Critical Strikes instead of Elemental Focus. The reason for this, is because the on death mechanics in high tier delves are very scary. When the mobs shatter they don't explode!



We are also using Lori's Lantern instead of Mark of the Shaper + elder Dream Fragments. Lori's is more defensive and i dont need more damage at depth 350 atm For delving we use Inc Critical Strikes instead of Elemental Focus.

These are what i use:





The Cautious Eternal Mana flask is very important! -Without it you cannot sustain your mana!

⚡Jewels:

Jewels



Unique Jewels





Watcher's Eye: This is very good for the build, if you can get it with the Lightning Penetration while affected by Wrath. But any other Wrath mod can work.



Rare Jewels





Rare jewels: If you have some jewel sockets left, you want rare jewels with Energy shield, crit multi, mine laying speed or spell damage. Also get resists on here if you struggle to get capped!





Abyss Jewels: On Abyss jewels you prioritize ES and added lightning damage. Crit multi is also good.
