[3.0] Wand’s Guide to Wanding – Comprehensive Overview of Wanders

i assume just because this wand gives me more TOOL TIP dps (5-6k more) than piscators its not actually better?
Probably bottom roll Piscators?
I'm p. sure you need a 20ex+ wand to see significant dps increase over a decently rolled Piscators, may obv. depend on your particular gear and ascendancy choice.

Just plug it into PoB, also Piscators has that 5% ele pen, which is p. much a 5% more multiplier.

Nah doesn't take that much at all. I bought my current wander wand for 50c and its around 20k tooltip above piscator. POB showing it way more over.

Basically you want the T1 lightning (essence craft), T1-2 crit and a spot for attack speed. This alone will almost always beat out piscator's and get even higher if your gear is good. Add in more elementas, WED etc and it just gets better and better.

Buy some essence of wrath, slap on some 84+ imbudes and in worst case you can lock prefix, scour off all but lightning dmg then dual craft crit, att speed, another element, wed etc and it'll beat it.

First post in the guide. I appreciate the level of detail you go into. I have a question to pose: what is your experience slotting in one or two Volley Fire jewels?
The chance to Vaal +1% maximum resists on an amulet is less than 1/300.

Shaper down on the second try after some massive upgrades. Thanks again for the guide Desreien!
Thanks for the guide, it very detailed and it's impossible to get lost during leveling or about building a good character.

I'm currently lv 76 with my raider. Everything is kinda great about this build so far : great clear speed, nice dps and really pleasant to play.

I don't know what can be the next upgrade on my character, i linked my chest today for a 6L ( it was so lucky, had like 100-120 fuse).

I was following the guide but Bisco collar is like 100c+ on poe trade so it's pretty expensive.
I have like 60 chaos in bank right now so i don't know if i should take the tempest biding first or if the collar is really worth it at this price.

Also, the next step is the vinktar but.. it's like 300c for the +lightning to attack. Is it possible to take the vinktar with 20% in lightning damage or should i go for an other flask?

And for the last question, what is the best gem to put GCP on? I got some of them already with quality (since it's my second char) so i dunno. I started to put them on Kinetic blast, since it's the gem i use for the most part of clearing map.

Thanks for replying !

EDIT : Sorry for the english, it's not my native language and i tried my best. Sorry if something isn't clear or doesn't mean anything.

Your English is great! Personally I'd save for the vinkar's since they are really powerful. GCP priority should be the KB and barrage links and the order doesn't really matter that much since most of them end up being 10% damage. I also did my assassin's mark early for more consistent power charges but that's probably fairly insignificant.

Bisco's Collar first for sure. It will make up for it's cost very quickly. After that, go for Tempest's Binding. Vinktar is less important for mapping. It only really shines against Guardians / Shaper. If you're not doing them, i'd just stick with Atziri's Promise / Wise Oak for the time being.

Well, i've played around in PoB with this example wand, which is what you'd expect to essence-craft/buy for a couple exalts (correct me if i'm wrong):



When i PoB-simulate dps of this on my build (raider) with barrage/all projectiles/max frenzies/all flasks up its within 1-2% compared to ok-ish rolled piscators, except piscators has that juicy ele pen.

I use this example (would be arguably p. expensive)



and barely get 10% dps increase over piscators

I guess it does really depend on ascendancy/gear?
