They're not finished, it'll be 20% MS with chill immunity, I'm missing one unveil. Also have to enchant them afterwards. Plus my quiver will have 6% or 10% movement speed eventually depending on what I hit:
My res are way overcapped this league with self crafted rings and jewels, so it should be fine. Currently playing atziri's step which give 0 res.

Ah, well if you're playing with slinks rn, it sure is a big upgrade.
Rings won't give me much res personally tbh, I want to make the following ring:
____________________________________________ Ring name
Synthesised Topaz Ring
Quality:20% (life and mana modifiers)
____________________________________________ Gain arcane surge on hit with spells
____________________________________________ +91 to maximum life
+45 to maximum energy shield
34% increased chaos damage
Grants level 20 aspect of the spider skill 20% increased damage
+1 to minimum endurance charge
I may try to make a damage ring after my current projects, currently rocking this one for good resists, the other one is just filler especially for stats :
I don't know if this has been adressed yet in this thread but with enlightment lvl 4 gem, there is room for an aspect along with other 3 auras. Is there a reason why not go with it? Assuming you are wearing +1 to level of socketed gems on helm.
Yes, if you're using devouring diadem malevolence + discipline + f&s + enlighten 4 + aspect is exactly 100% mana reserved, you can run that if you don't plan to upgrade to -9 res hubris helmet. It's definitely easier to set up and less level requirement cuz you save points for EB. I reckon lvl 90 POB had diadem and lvl 100 had rare helmet... I read it as if you're not going for lvl 100 stay with diadem, I might be wrong?

You should have blight. And you should only use it after you applied ED, put down wither totem AND have a safe spot to stand and channel (i.e. don't try to tank Atziri's fire circles they hurt).

I still feel like that skitterbots are overwhelmingly better than discipline.
I mean, it's the whole 12% chill and 24% shock. It's a TON of damage and defensive capability alike.
Your math is off. Skitterbots shock is 15% increased damage. Skitterbots get 19% increased effectiveness of shock as they level up. 15 * 1.19 = 17.85 How did you get 24?
Also keep in mind shock shares "diminishing returns" with despair, wither totem, aspect of the spider and all other sources of "mobs take increased damage". Yeah, Ghazzy on his redemption specter build can claim skitters is "more damage" because his spec has 0 other sources of mobs take increased damage (unless he's running intimidate) so increased is the same as more when it's the only mod in that bucket, meanwhile this spec has various other spells that share diminishing returns with shock.
I do like skitterbots, they're a great filler aura when you have space. But when you don't have space, they're really not THAT gamebreaking, they're easily skippable.

"Its a great league started but not the fastest"
You wrote in weapon section that 6l cane is needed to clear red maps ;) 6l cane is 2.5ex. How is that a league started which needs 2.5ex to clear red maps?
It depends on the league, metamorph / delirium was puking out 6-links like no tomorrow so it was a cheap budget option. Now it's not. BUT cane gives +2 to all chaos gems not only socketed ones. So you could run 6-link in your chest and not have the cane 6-linked and it would still work. Also you can run ANY 6-link chest. Don't be fixated on Hyrri / Kintsugi or nothing (or tabula). You could just buy a corrupted 6-link with some semi-useful stats. You'll be a bit more squishy but you won't be forced to run in a tabula (0hp) or unlinked chest (piss poor damage).

Right now I am level 90 at t16 maps and struggling really hard.
The biggest question is how do you even have enough watchstones to be consistently getting t16 maps without having farmed your ass off to the point you actually have currency? If you're a fast player, you make a lot of currency. If you're a slow player, you would be probably somewhere at awakening level 5 or 6 at best (or maybe even before first Sirus) and not even getting t16 map drops regularly. Especially with all the reddit threads complaining about map sustain this league.
I really wanna know what's the "atlas strategy" to get t16 maps (without buying them ofc) without lots of farming, because that's the only way so many people are in t16 maps without good gear. Not counting people who deliberately don't min max their gear like for example path of Matth (youtuber / streamer) that runs in MF gear because ball lightning mines OP so who cares (even though he said he doesn't recommend an average player to copy his gear setup because it's squishy with all the MF gear).
I mostly think this guy is a troll, but I was at T16 maps with 8 watchstones, focusing on grinding out 2 areas at once. I think I was at T16 maps with this setup like... idk. 5 hours after getting atlas?
I could be exaggerating but it was def within a day. And I did it on a 2c Cane that I 5L myself with a 10c prophecy. My only Exalt dropped got invested into my current chestpiece. So you don't a good Cane to do red maps.
Guys, do you know why i cant remove "+4 mana gained for each enemy hit by your attacks" since it has the attack tag on it in poedb, i'm trying to remove it with the "remove random attack modifier" bench from garden, but it seems not to work.
assuming you are using poebd, above the suffix tag, there are 2 types of attacks. One is for crafting bench, the another one is for harvest.
In your case, your attack is blue and not for harvest craft
oh god, i bought it for a crazy amount of currency specting to remove that mod and add speed from movement speed... lool.
That's surely making me damp.
You think there's a way to get 10% dodge on top of this? Missing the 10/10 is a bit harsh imo. Spell dodge is craftable, but not attack, it's only essence.
Still, this completely solves the life/es unbalance we now have with high life values (I'm aiming at 6.5k+ life). Gratz!
I could hit 6% dodge which isn't too bad. Weights are very low and no tags though.
I think I'll reroll suffixes now. I have 2 "reroll mods, keep prefixes" stored, with some luck I'll hit 6% dodge, but the plan right now is double or triple resistance suffixes. Fire/Cold/Chaos would be cool. Doesn't sound too hard too.
Hitting attributes on a suffix is 30% apparently, that would suck. Stun/block recovery is also kinda high odds.

I am having a really hard time with single target with this build so far. I know my gear has allot to go for improvements but was wondering should single target just not be great overall regardless of how many exalts you throw at it? I also take quite a bit of damage and can't really sit and tank like some of the video's show. Here is my gear so far any suggestion on improving to have better single target
Not really. You're starting to have nice gear (well, good bow at least), but this is only the begining of your damage scaling. The content, however, doesn't scale much past t16. So you more you invest, the more you will improve your singletarget, to the point where shaper dies in seconds.
Of course, with the same level of investment on anything else than ed, you'd reach much higher numbers, and faster. But is there really a point? My goal this league is 3Million ED dps. With blight, we're looking at a solid 5-6Mil combined dps. This clears a sirus 8 phase in 3 seconds, and the last phase in 12-13, since he'll reset the dot with an everlasting fire once. Do we REALLY need more than this?
I think the endgame ED character is extremely well rounded, and this is why I love this build so much. The end result is incredibly tanky, is absurdly fast while still having enough damage to not be lacking and clear everything. It gives an endgame goal to strive for, and this is what POE is all about to me.
But the jorney to get here is, of course, non trivial and lenghty.
Thank you for the reply. So are you saying that with my current gear I should be having a hard time with single target until I start upgrading much more? I just havn't played ED/Contagion so maybe im expecting more from single target. Should I just follow the upgrade flow chart and then will continually increase my damage and survivability?
