Hey guys, so I've been working on my build. My damage is about to hit 1mill dps but I'm getting utterly destroyed by some random things. SOmeone asked in here earlier why are they getting ruined by random mobs in 1 or 2 hits. My gear is pretty alright at the moment yet I only hit 4.6k HP/2.1k ES at level 91. If anyone could see what I;m using on Seiren and tell me what's going on here that'd be great. I do so much damage but I get killed so fast, uber elder seems like only a dream and my daggers are worth 20ex; it doesn't make sense.
Cheers | |
" Thanks a lot @Raedwolf64 that was able to save me, and now I got the last two asscendancy points, which gave me a good dps increase. |

It has taken me a lot time investment but this build it's plain amazing now, with over 830k DPS with flasks!!!Thanks Enki!

" What are your resists at? Are all over 75, ideally over 110? Is lightning resist the highest to take advantage of Wise Oak? I notice you don't have an abyss jewel with cold damage to spells. Replace your unique jewel for an Abyss Jewel that has flat life, Adds # - # cold damage to spells, at least one other mod of your choice. Use the guide and your budget as your best judge of what to get for the rest. Without added cold damage to spells, your Hypothermia gem isn't doing anything and you're basically running a 5-link Arc. You lack quality on your Whirling Blades and Faster Attack gems - that's 20% attack speed that you're missing out on. You're not able to move as quickly and that's probably having an effect on your ability to defend yourself. A lot of deaths in Red maps comes from not being familiar with mechanics boss mechanics. Get to know the fights. Don't stack too many + damage mods on your maps. That being said, without knowing more about what's killing you, I can't really offer much more. |

Noob question: does the prefix at the top ("26% increased elemental damage) apply to spells? Thanks to everyone on this forum, you have made my first league a lot of fun. |
|
" First off thats what we call the "implicit". and yes it does. but you would be missing out on the whirling blades and fortify if you go with a sceptre instead of daggers. | |
" Yes, that's an inplicit, and it works. But your Crafted "attacks penetrate elemental res" is worhtless - we are not attacking, we are using spells. In PoE, every word means something important - you need to take closer look on everything. Also, thid mace is pretty bad for this build overall... It has almost nothing which would be usefull for us in terms of stats/ mechanics. Don't waste currecy on it :) |

Just gonna jot down my thoughts for this build Synthesis league as it might help a few guys. So I played arc witch last league aswell. Really enjoyed it then. Even now i feel its super strong with the new changes suggested by Enkie going hybrid. I've got 4300 hp and around 2k ES. 80 fire res 83 cold res 86 light res. 1.67m shaper dps atm. With some more investment im confident it can go past the 2.5m mark. I'm still not a big fan of Unleash. Vaal Arc chain range is still the same as Old arc spell chain range. Maybe a build could be made around lowering Vaal arc CD and soul prevention time??? Got the Inpulsa for 4ex and decided to 6L and 6S it. Bad idea. Wasted 10ex worth of fusings on it despite getting its quality improved to 28% via T3 Hillock bench. Bad RNG I guess. Prrbly still better to just buy the cheapest 6L inpulsa you can and then spam a few divine orbs on it. The daggers are like 15ex each and it was quite annoying to get all the crafts since Synthesis encouters are lag bombs. I got the cobalts for 20c each, a steal if you ask me. :D Stygian was chaos spammed ( still need to fossil craft a Op version with Lightning dmg + element dmg + 90+ life and 1x 40+ res mod). The elder ring is essence crafted with the Deafening essesnce of wrath. Got lucky with the 30+ dex roll aswell. The ring itself was a random drop on an elder T16. I think The best elder ring you can get is a Elder base Opal ring since it has the better implicit. I bought the amulet for 100c which i feel is reasonable. The watchers cost 3.5ex and gives you nearly 100% uptime on arcane surge which i think is quite busted. You could craft Arcane surge on daggers but thats the budget option. I'm quite impressed with how well Diadem synergises with this build as I felt a ilevel 84 shaper base bone helmet with an arc build enchantment would outperform it. Getting 6 free skill points is quite strong. Pastebin for the interested if you want to compare. https://pastebin.com/yGDQZ0Z5 | |

Hey guys, been improving my build, but even after that I can only get 500k Shaper dps.
Am I missing something/doing something wrong? Here's the POB pastebin if anyone wants to check it: https://pastebin.com/KagzBAYz |

@sikazo
Not sure which part you were referring to. The Golem Buff part would apply regardless of having Spiritual Aid or not.
Everything except for boots and daggers could need an upgrade at this point. You also have no Cold Damage to Spells to make Hypothermia work properly, and an Eternal Life Flask would be better than Divine Life Flask.
@jphil03
You could try crafting new gloves and amulet, and maybe start farming for Opal Ring bases to craft.
@wolkar
Nothing really that would help a lot other than the optional gem setups in guide. You could try an Orb of Storms or Storm Brand for single target boost, although both aren't as strong as LS Trap. You can use Decoy Totem to drag enemies into the trap radius.
@Fanvacancer
ES based boots, better amulet, flask quality and either an elder ring or replace Mark of the Shaper, it's not really worth like this.
@micotu
They're ok to get started, i've included an example for 6L trap gloves into the "How to look for & buy Gear" miniguide.
@GreyBrainCell
Probably not relevant anymore, but at that point they are definitely alright.
@TooTriggered
You could get an amulet upgrade and then work towards a 6L, boot enchant can get you a little more damage too. Although T10 Elder should not be an issue with that setup.
@pkrockwell
Concentrated Effect, Elemental Focus and Hypothermia in gloves with Faster Casting. However, with that you still have to shock/chill with Arc for proper damage output.
@Crispinner
The passive trees are all exported from Path of Building and should be identical. Do you still have an older version of this builds PoB-Setup?
@Steve_H
A bit difficult to figure out what may be the issue without being able to see your character. Make sure you have the correct flasks and keep them up during mapping, Pantheon upgrades also make a huge difference. I've recently changed it back to Solaris as main major Pantheon, so make sure to try that out.
@IntrepidMuppet
Are all auras inside the helmet?
@XxNateDoggxX
May be a browser issue, could try clearing your cache or a different browser, or simply download Path of Building and check all passive trees in the provided PoB-Setup.
@Shmygolas
At that point you will have the full leveling gem setup. You won't be able to run all auras at that point, that's why we replace Wrath/Zealotry with Herald of Thunder for the storyline. Everything else should be active, just check through the first 6 acts again and focus on the colored gem setups.
@JGonzaga
Hyaons Fury wouldn't help us at all, the flat damage is local and even if we had a way to gain frenzy charges, a simple recipe crafted dagger would turn out better.
@L3thvl
Your actual damage goes down sicne all our Lightning Penetration doesn't affect the converted cold damage. Since we're also no crit build and can't make use of shattering, the ring is not really worth it.
@DrRats
Shroud would give you more ES, Inpulsa a little more damage from shock effect. It's definitely possible with either of those.
@LysergicDiethylamide
Your character tab is private, please change that so we can check.
@Falco_WolfsDen
You should be able to run all auras after getting the 5 aura-related nodes, which are planned for within the Lv70 tree.
@tkabuto24
You should be able to fit in all gems, if not, put the inactive auras into your secondary weapon slots of incase you'Re leveling 6x Arc gems, just keep them in you inventory and level them later.
@Tabaxus
The PoB-Setup includes a highend multimodded dagger, which should be the best possible combination of mods. You can also easily create your own items and then just add the crafted modifiers and compare.
@Eitarin
Nothing particularly wrong with your gear, only thing i've noticed is that you're missing Cold Damage to Spells to make Hypothermia work properly. You could try getting a Transcendent Mind or even better but more expensive, Watcher's Eye with ES Regeneration and spec out of Zealot's Oath to have Life Regeneration as backup. Pantheon upgrades are huge too, i've recently changed the build back to using Solaris as main major Pantheon so try that one out.
@ArisFuser
Pretty nice setup, only thing i've noticed is there doesn't seem to be Cold Damage to Spells anywhere. Could easily change that on your rare ring if you have the unveiled mods.
@protestantfackbucket
You forgot to check "Enemy is chilled" so Hypothermia wasn't reflected in your damage. Unleash also doesn't affect your damage in PoB, since you have Inpulsa's you don't really need it anymore and can switch it to Controlled Destruction. Another small thing, Watcher's Eye is limited to 1 so only one of yours actually does anything.
