Here I'll just emphasize the aspects that you should pay attention to while lving.

This will be more than enough for your journey to Torment 1.Remember, avoid putting good aspects on your weapon. Even though the aspect has a doubled effect, you want to change your weapon as often as possible to increase your base damage. Your most important aspect always goes on the amulet while lving.

The runes I suggest below are runes you'll get relatively early in the game. There are better ones.

How it Plays

Just spam your skills, most of them will increase your damage in some way. With the exception of Vortex, which only serves to gather enemies around you.

When you stop killing enemies for a while, use a healing potion! Jacinth Shell resets its cooldowns at the cost of our lives, and we gain a lot of life by hitting thanks to Jacinth Shell herself and also Temery.

How it Works

We try to make the most of the Noxious Resonance passive to increase our [x] damage. That's why we invest heavily in critical damage, so much so that I'd like to test this build in the future with 2 normal legendary rings.

Temery is important to have the roll at 100%, not only to help you survive longer, but also because we have a legendary node (viscous shield) that will increase our [x] damage according to our barrier.

I'm improving the builds as I play

Armor or Resistance problems?

Your armor problem will disappear when you get a necklace with GA in Total Armor.
And your resistance problem will disappear when you get a good Rakanoth's Wake.
If you still have problems, change the gems in the jewelry to solve your problems.
Remember that there are elixirs that can help you with armor and resistance. Or the mercenary Raheir can increase your armor, or your resistance.

Have you tried Andariel Visage?

Yes, unfortunately Andariel Visage isn't the best build

About Writhing Moon

Unfortunately, this ring, which should be the soul of the build, is simply very bad.

I was hoping that on bosses it would compensate more for the hits with the Swarms circling you. But the truth is that without the ring, the Swarms already hit the boss in much the same way, and the ring's affixes are terrible, along with its bad ability.

So a legendary ring turns out to be much better (even during T1~T4), except that this one turns out to be a cheap way to have a chance of applying vulnerability to enemies. And this affix is VERY important for the build, so if you want to take the ring off and use a legendary one, just have this affix (and other good ones).

Armor above cap? Yes!

We use armor above the cap because of the Unyielding Hits aspect

Changelog

1.0210/15/2024==
“Last” version of the build for a while. I managed to finish all the game content with it even though I didn't have glyphs above lv50 or all the equipment with lv12 masterwork.

I changed practically everything, especially the Uber version. I recommend checking everything again if you were using the build before.

1.0110/11/2024==
Changes to some runes, gens and the Amulet Affix, a super important change for the T3~4 tier
And the Uber version is finished. Andariel visage works with the build! :)
