[3.4] Teleports Behind You - Poet's Pen Lightning Warp & Arc, MF / Facetank t16 / Shaper / U. Elder
" The links and gems are wrong. No orb of storms setup. You shouldn't be using both HoT and HoI at the same time because there's probably not enough mana unreserved for MoM to work correctly (and hopefully you're running running Haste to eat up mana as well). You should also work on getting the last 3 unique items: Mind of the Council, Choir of Storms and Berek's Grip. You should use barrage instead of frenzy in the chest so you get the most out of LGoH. Move Frenzy where the Haste currently is if you really want to generate charges. Just follow the guide more closely and things should work better. |

So Im still trying to fine tune this build . I have finally got path of building working for me and I think Im looking at everything correct . Im on the Calcs page and I have selected barrage in combat . it says my attack / cast rate is currently 3.64 . My question is this the right Gem Im looking at to I want to hit the 3.74-3.75 ATPS . If so is this the right area using POB to be seeing my attack speed ? I have never used POB before , any help would be much appreciated ! :)

Im really getting confused with how frenzy even procs to give me charges ? is it when my herald of thunder hits I get a chance for a stack or should I be using it for a main attack and not using barrage . Its hard for me to make out how and whats hes using in his videos . Should I have frenzy bound to a slot to attack and use to quickly get my charges up then use the barrage / arc / lightning warp ? if anyone can look at my char and setup and give me some tips I feel like Im over thinking this whole thing atm :S

Wondering if anyone would take a look at my character: https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Asyyra/characters/Asyra_ArcStuff
I'm doing pretty well, can do T16's mostly safely, but I just find the single target damage lacking. Would like to do shaper, but again, i feel like i need better single target. Every upgrade seems incredibly expensive at this point, and I don't exactly know what to focus on getting my hands on. Some thing that I've considered: Mind of the Council with a ball lightning enchant. Is there any consensus on which is the best? How does the extra ball enchant function, it can't just be straight up 2x the dps right? Level 21/20q gems for my single target setup. Obvious candidate, but they are quite expensive and the build doesn't really leave any slots for leveling spare gems. Better jewels. This one is obvious, some of my jewels are pretty shit to be honest. I have 5k life/1750 mana or so, so maybe i should go for straight damage jewels? Second opal ring. I don't find that i have a huge need for life leech with bereks, potions and the lgoh has been enough so far. A second opal would be pretty decent. Poet's pen with elemental penetration corruption? Higher roll/6l inpulsa, seems very expensive for little gain though. Open to suggestions for the passive tree also, I've pretty much gone for all the jewel slots i could get my hands on.

iam loving this build a lot.
clearly cleared all content except vaal temple, hall of grandmasters and uber elder. One question: would a blue nightmare jewel would make sense? And if someone could be so kind and check my char? Are there any mistakes or do i leave somewhere some potential ? |

Shaper down at the first try, i nearly completed all my objectives for this league, just missing a 100% atlas.
With inpulsa's so cheap right now, i think this might be the best build of the league, truly op. Couldn't achieve a truly facetank char tho, i find difficult to mantain the leech vs the toughest bosses, still pretty ez to clear most of the contents.

" Exactly this. Although for regular clearing I don't use Frenzy at all. I only try to generate frenzy charges on bosses. |
|
|
so with MoM, if I have a life total of 4881 and 400 es do I need 2.1k mana in total or 2.1k mana on top of herald of thunder reservation so in total 2.4k?
and does Energy shield factor into it at all? |

" Okay, just blew the last of my currency to get my MotC, shifted some stuff around. So the idea here is to use the Frenzy 4 link in the gloves setup for general clear, if i'm about to face a particularly tricky boss i would like to facetank, swap L. Warp 3-link out to B. Lightning 3-link? And i see some of your links conflict a little so i'm confused. Why additional accuracy in the barrage links, why not culling strike? Is the accuracy that low? Or does it actually reduce Barrage spread? What's with the random Enlighten in the MF setup? I'm assuming the bolded text is a typo and i should only be running one herald aura at a time? Which would you recommend? Does Berek's make HoI a better choice if i have it? I'm saving up for that one now. I'm not sure how i'll get a Choir since it's so expensive. Would you say my current setup is safe to push maps? Or should i swap the gloves out for Fingerless Gloves and replace the Leash with a Darkness Enthroned for some extra damage? Also, is the CDR belt not worth it? I've also been watching people work with Power Siphon + Faster Attacks as a means for rapid clear. What are your thoughts on it? Surely it removes the need for the PCoC setup. Not sure if Frenzy is worth keeping in that case if you set Barrage up to be your Single Target. I'm sorry if i'm being really dumb or something, i'm still in the process of understanding what makes/breaks builds and there's not really much explanation for a slow learner like me in some things like the links. I apologize in advance. Thanks so much for the help. Last edited by Nethicite#2012 on Jun 29, 2018, 12:32:53 PM

" Not dumb at all. Ask away. Use Barrage for general clear and bosses. Only use Frenzy if you need to generate charges on boss fights. Myself, I rarely use frenzy at all and might just pop it a few times when bossing but most of the time I forget about it. I put in additional accuracy just so I get more hits for the life gained on hit. I run culling as well cause of my 6 link. And yes, for bosses, you'll want to use the poets pen with the arc setup and the poets pen with the ball lightning setup. It's very nice to get a second set of pens so you can just press a key to swap weapon sets but that can get pricey having to double up your 21/20 arc gems and supports. Haste - It was a type in the bold part, my bad. I meant that you shouldn't be running Haste which will reserve more mana and not be good with MoM. If you've just using it for Vaal Haste then OK. With Mind of Matter, you'll want to make sure you have enough unreserved mana to make MoM work correctly. HoT will increase the lightning damage which should scale with the build and tree a bit better. EDIT: Also, as f4sak3n pointed out below, you get a good amount of increased damage because of Mastermind of Discord and the 25% lightning penetration. I haven't used the MF setup yet so I haven't really looked at the gem setup that may use Enlighten. For mapping (rapid clear) I just use Lightning Warp and Arc. It clears so fast and it doesn't matter if you're using Barrage, Frenzy, Power Siphon, etc. to proc it. I don't bother with casting Orb of Storms for the Power Charge on Crit. I save that for bosses as well. This build clears so fast that's I don't need to get either frenzy or power charges to be able to clear any faster. I actually did try power siphon at the beginning on the league but stopped when my game kept crashing every time I'd use it. I've read others have had the same issue with power siphon as well. It would be interesting to try though but I don't think it will change much as maps run so fast already. Last edited by YT_HB#0097 on Jun 29, 2018, 3:44:44 PM
