This is probably one of the most garbage builds Ive tried.

Switch a loooooooooooot with this build. use diff. items. diff. cluster. spend around 30ex to make it work. simply garbage build and cant recommend.

Spoiler

Very impressive damage numbers! looks very min-maxed.

from the testing i did in POB with the cluster jewels i found that:
1. the attack nodes on the large cluster grant the best dps, and also save some points on the tree due to life and mana leech nodes.
2. for the medium cluster, repeater and eye to eye is the best dps option.
3. for the small cluster fettle just give alot of life that its hard to pass on that.

i also found that using more that one cluster setup is less ideal, there are still good nodes on the tree for this build and by using 2-3 cluster setup you just dont have enough points left for them.


i feel like alot of the other nodes from the cluster jewels arent that great\efficient.

for example, cooked alive grant -10% fire res, which is good, but eye to eye node will get you more overall dps.
also, stacking ignite chance to 100% is not efficient since we already have ~60% chance to ignite and we attack very fast plus throwing tons of balls, there is no way a boss wont get ignited with that setup.

another example is advance guard, doesnt add much to total dps, with the stampede setup the movement speed has no effect and the ignore armor penalties also kinda useless due to stampede AND we can take that on the tree with art of the gladiator that add much more (attack speed and dex).

so 2-3 cluster jewel setup is kinda forcing you do "fix" things in an inefficient way IMO.
but i will do more testing to see if there is a good way to improve without sacrificing too much on other aspects.

because what bothers me the most with your setup is the very low regen, with blood rage your net regen is ~100.


would love to see a video of your build in action :)

btw, you can still use cindersmallow for a good dps boost, even tho you have an onslaught boots.

Thanks a lot for the quick feedback.

1. The key benefit of "Cooked Alive" is the -10 Fire Resistance. It is equivalent to a 10% increased damage taken by the monsters. Since PoB doesn't show its actual effect. I don't know how it compares to "Repeater" and "Eye to Eye".

2. I saw a number of reviews that say highly of "Fettle", which gives 10% and +20 Life. In order to get "Fettle", we need to forgo 1 Jewel socket plus 2 skill points. A good jewel can potentially give us 7% Life + say 9-13% attack speed + 10% increased damage. 2 x Skill Points can give us 2 x 5% Life. That means we need to sacrifice 17% Life and the dps stats from the jewel for Fettle in the Medium Cluster which will only give us 14% and 20 Life (10% and 20 from Fettle, 4% from small passive) + 3 x random stats from the cluster jewel which should be nowhere near the stats of a good rare jewel. Do I misunderstand something here about Fettle?

I would love to try out on the Stampede setup when I manage to get my hands on the associated Cluster Jewel.

Does The fact that you don't use The Stampede boots in the section *What to Upgrade, mean that you remove the Nature's patience jewel ?
