Finally feeling like the build came together. It was by far the hardest time I've had a build getting off the ground - just due to not being able to find any decent ES gear. I spent all my essences, alchs, scours, and chaos trying to spam a decent es chest/shield, but nothing. Then one day I had a ~450 ES chest and 200 ES shield drop, which brought me to over 7k ES (huge upgrade from previous 5.2k). Finally felt comfortable enough to progress in maps, do some Synthesis zones, and attempt Uber lab.
While I had bad luck with starting ES gear, I was fortunate enough to find the Uber trials fairly quickly. At 83 I braved Izaro and came out ahead after one close call. Pretty sure I would have died if not for taking it slow, getting all of the dark shrines, and not granting Izaro buffs.
Getting the last ascendancy points felt like a massive upgrade for this build. Enemies I curse have malediction, dealing 10% reduced damage, on top of my three curses with a total of 65% increased curse effectiveness (Enfeeble, Temp Chains, Despair). I also got more cast speed which really helps with the zones where I have to cast Bane multiple times.
With some time left in the league I still plan to take it a bit slow. Going to build up my base of maps before moving to the next tier. I'm most scared of the Nexus boss maps with modifiers - so I'll probably keep that as my last challenge if I make it past tier 10. We'll see how it goes, but I felt like I've accomplished a lot with this character for untwinked ssfhc, and would be satisfied with the character if Anoxi should meet her demise.
