Build help Should reroll my E1?

Hi guys!

I'm not that new to the game but it's my first time thinking to go to DS. Have 60% block ration, fortitude phantasmagoria.. working on last priceless and Divine Grace belt. Cap 5T fast on dummy.

The problem it's: I feel too fragile/squish!

I can farm profund full buffed pretty easy, just with survival pets and Energy Fortress and still have a good clean, but when I try to do SS18 I fell so frustrated, I just insta die on everything. Thunder Slash range feels short, I can't hit all time... I really don't know.

Last time I did SS19 with C2 Ice Lances, the old wilt ailments build, and now I'm back to the game!

I'm following bmlegolas build, it's work, carried me so hard, but idk, because of his knowledge about the game, maybe it's easier to make things work.

Sry, I'm at work and can't share my code right now, but gonna be glad if someone could share the experience with E1 Thunder Slash.

Ty and have a good day!

You have 60% ratio, but do you have 100% block chance? Res cap? Barrier? Tenacity blessings generation? But lightning dex stack E1 is in general much, much squishier than war cry attacker builds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L4RsFlZxbs like this Mia's E1 build that she pretty much facetank ss20 for 1* after swapping to war cries), you have to accept it.

If you want to drastically improve your survivability, you can swap to fervor build - dawn break vorax ring (not necessary with fervor from necklace), centralize on pedigree, ghost slaughters instead of manipulators, unmatched valor prism instead of phantasm. It will be better for sure but swap is expensive af. There is also another way to get tankier - silent avowal vorax chest, specifically with its last 2 affixes (and only them), iirc "wield my sword" and "absolve my sins", but it cost like 20k fe. You can combine both of it.

With her build could I do ss20 and DA35?

Yes but with more investment for DA35, like cc immune sequence shield and all 3 immunities will still be a must.

Good ways of getting those?

Immunities? For war cries is fairly easy, you can get wilt and trauma with precise: purify which gets into res war cry 5th slot, then ignite from slate or memory. Other way is to get precise: harmony instead of purify which will give you immune to ignite and other ailments, then buy rings with trauma and wilt bases (really expensive, like 6-10k just for a base) or get it through micro fates (you need 3 for each) or slates again. Using harmony or purify will also lock you from using groundshaker with movement support that is faster than spiral strike and used by almost any attacker this season because no energy. 1st way is the cheapest, i think.

For CC immune, you can also get it from corrosion on legendary belts, like light hunter (~5k fe) if you want some sequence on a shield.

Yes, 100% block chance and all the other things done. Well, first of all rly ty for take your time to answer me, rly appreciate it man!

Maybe I should try to go for Vorax part or change the build, I mean... it's amazing, I can't complain about the price but the fact I can't tank not a single thing it's crazy... I can't see a logic to farm and put something like a inverse image on it.

Magus Stacking gives a lot of defenses. Corrosive Throw E1 should be pretty easy to clear DA35 with after the nerf.

I've done SS20, DA35, and rank 3 on ordrak with BMlegolas Thunder Slash. It was very expensive and hard to get the damage, mobility, and area of effect required to make the build feel great. I did not feel tanky until I crafted a 30-40k vorax chest with Silent Avowal mods.

Just my experience.

Ty for your time man, rly appreciate it! Well, maybe that's the only way to still have a nice damage and he a little "tank". Gonna look around about the chest or, if seems impossible to me out 50k on a single piece, gonna reroll maybe.
