[3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder
Hello!
I had a lot of time to play during the weekend so I leveled this kind of character to 90 and attempted Shaper for the first time ever (dont know why I didnt do that before) and managed to do it deathless.
Hello! love the build, quick question though. How do I utilize both Frenzy, and Barrage in this build? and would Vaal Arc work in place of arc? it nets higher dps in PoB. Thanks in advance!
Barrage should be used in your main chest setup with LGoH, FA, GMP, etc. Frenzy is basically only used to get charges when you need them.
You can use Vaal Arc instead of regular Arc because of the recent changes.
Got a question about Soul of Arakaali and the Blood Rage, Immortal Call setup. The OP didn't mention this setup and looking at other poster's character, I don't see anybody else using this.
I was able to free up a gem slot by getting a pair of gloves with both socketed gem supported by Faster Attack, and supported by Accuracy. Here's my gems setup.
Is it worthwhile doing this? I been doing some research on leech rate and leech cap, although I understand it a little bit better, I figure the OP must have a reason for not using it.
Nice gloves. Definitely worth testing out that setup in there. Then you can have an additional CWDT setup or something else in the chest. Let us know how it works.
Would there be a way to replace Orb of Storms with Lightning Spire Trap?
Or is Orb of Storms the absolute best choice, even for single target?
Because the Orb of Storms gives us arcane surge then traps can't be used in place of it. The mana spent on Traps/Mines/Totems don't go toward arcane surge. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
What is the sweet spot to aim for in terms of Attack speed?
At the moment I am on 3.11(Frenzy) without frenzy charges and 3.75 with 4 frenzy charges(took one more to get to the 3.7-3.8 mark.)
Issue is I feel that lightning warp is very slow if I keep Frenzy pressed.
If I tap it it is almost twice as fast. Is this normal or is my APS all messed up?
What's your barrage APS? Ideally, you want it to be no more than 3.75. Under 3.75 a bit is just fine. Anything over 3.75 may skip a trigger of the Pens. Use barrage for most of your triggering of the Pens. You really only need to use Frenzy for those times where you really need the charges - against bosses, etc.

So 3.31 Without Frenzy charges, is this to low?
It's a bit low. But again, Frenzy isn't what you should be focusing your APS on. Barrage is the key to get the APS correct as it will be the one that you use against bosses to get the LGoH. You'll want to get the 20% quality on the culling strike for more APS and then quality and level on your LGoH to maximize the gem. You'll also want to move HoT to your gloves and put Arcane Surge in that slot to go with Orb of Storms.
