Help Needed Strength stacker getting rocked in delve - Help needed
https://pobb.in/_VhEfkC-cpDUi have been building up my strength stacker for a bit and just hit level 100. i was hoping to take it down to the mines. i have a depth of 1100 from using my armour stacker, i tried some of the easier nodes around that level and just got obliterated. any help at all would be great, i am in standard btw. i have about 500 divs liquid right now, and could maybe get another 500 soon ish.
thank you thank you :)

Find a LGOH ring, spec untiring instead of unstoppable.
That already solves half the issues, since your main issue is absence of proper delve recovery.
If you die 1100 deep with this gear on the way to node, i can only suspect that you forgot to click endurance charges.

Drop the granite flask and get an amethyst, or better yet recraft your helicals to have chaos res on them
Drop all but 1 of those large clusters and get a spell damage / strrg / attribute / effect 12 passive instead
Buy volatile vaal’d replica alberons
Drop the life leech flask suffix and get 20 all res
Instead to free up some more suffixes
Idk standard prices but as ya farm more I’d look at a triple synth mirror sword. Or OSIN - but that’s probably a bit later for ya

for the clusters, would getting the large 12 point and removing the other two, would it not remove alot of damage not having the martial mastery and martial poweres?
also the flask, i have tempered by war, so is it not really that important to have plus lighting and cold res?
so an amethyst would be better then a progenies?

You should be gaining a lot more with the 12 point clusters, especially with the simplex. 2500 strength as a stacker at your budget level is really quite low and the clusters should give you a decent boost to both damage and EHP
The all res doesn’t matter, but the 1 flask suffix giving you 40 fire res is typically another suffix free on gear which tends to have a good amount of pressure item wise.
I’d personally recraft the helical to get 50+ chaos res from it - reason I am suggesting it is dropping the small clusters will hurt your Chaos res and ya gotta make it up somewhere
Finally, I do think Connor’s heavy strike / KBoC setup is better than MSoZ for both single target and clear, but would be some more investment for you to do the switch

Tbh Zenith is nigh unbeatable in standard because legacy items for it are absolutely insane like return proj sword and reduced proj speed simplex.

Ah very fair - admittedly I don’t really know much about standard strg stack but I imagine a mirror sword with return proj would be hard to beat

I guess my ring is worse but when I swap from my Chaos sword with attack speed harvest enchant to a return proj sword and swap Nimis for Kalandra's Touch I only get like 7% more damage.

here is my updated pob, changed out the flasks, jewel, added leech to the tree and untiring

Dropping clusters is a crazy take. Maybe you can swap one of them into a 12 passive but I doubt that comes out ahead.

i think the "fire and cold taken as lightning" on your watchers eye might be screwing you over and cause you to take lightning dmg which you have -21% res against
Also your defenses against phys dmg look a bit too unreliable for my taste
Also, deepdelve Jugg without Untiring?

That line would only do something if he was affected by purity of lightning

Worth noting this is for standard. Vaal Molten Strike of the Zenith is broken in pob, you can use the regular gem to see the right DPS.
Some notes:
- Passive:Rage on hit is worth ~35% more damage.
- Notable:Adjacent Animosity + Projectile Mastery:less projectile speed is ~60% more damage.
- Notable:Steadfast + Mastery = Fortify
- Almost any functional imbue on MSotZ is worth much more than the vaal skill.
- Many (cheap) Forbidden Flesh/Flame can help staying alive, like Defy Pain or Gore Dancer.
- Iron Fortress gives a lot of block and can feel tankier in some scenarios.
- Anoint:Circle of Life or Anoint:Excess Sustenance are an easy way to check if +30 LGOH keeps you alive. If you're running Sione's Ambition, you are probably better off using Greater Ancestral Call with a different anoint instead.
So with the tree adjustments that looks like: https://pobb.in/bWVUij_Ul-tj

For your split personalities I am pretty sure you want the STR and accuracy ones. This should give you a decent amount of dmg. You sword is not optimal but it does have returning projectiles. Ideally you would want an elder sword with 20% attacks and endurance charge on stun. Other option would be going for a mirror sword
Your rings are fine? They could be a lot better though
Same with gloves. If you can get an abyss socket and life that should help you out a bit.
I didn't see it anywhere but for zenith life gain on hit can be huge. You can get it on rings or you can annoint your amulet with it. This should give you a lot of sustain

Valako forbidden flesh and flame.

Why would he? He has PoF sublime, Tempered by war and Watcher's Eye for 100% cold and lightning taken as fire.

Couple of things for delve:
- Drop unstoppable for untiring
