Where exactly do you put resistances to not explode if an arc wizard so much as exists in the same map as you? Look at pob, you put resist on rares. gearing is just examples of what you can use.

Damage is coming along OK, I don't know if it's a matter of needing to delete things faster or if the game is just tuned that much harder now. I am doing t10s atm, usually dodging stuff, can face tank metamorph for a bit. I cant really help you unless you give me your pob.

Hi Aquarism, can ypu help me take a look and see what to change in my setup? currently clear is amazing, but single target seems abit lacking. i've swapped out ice bite in single target as i realize i usually can't keep the frenzy charges up till bosses. any suggestions there?

Cold pen gives the least DPS increase, you can use damage on full life, with soul raker you should be up all the time. a death opus would boost your damage a lot, if you cant afford it i suggest using a rare bow. I used this from 75 to 85, it performs better than death's harp. i also suggest spending 10c or so to get a rare chest to replace tabula, a corrupted 6l will be better for survivability and resist.

Hello! Thnks for the awesome build man, using it right noww since the start of metamorph, started a bit slow and squishy but afte few ex I am pretty strong. Clear is just godly, single target is good but can improve, and we're evasion based so of course strong hits will most likely kill us. I still need the 6 links in both armour and bow, but I think I should get something else before that, maybe you can help me decide which should be my next change. my POB: https://pastebin.com/6auGWLPA	Posted by inactiveezz on Dec 21, 2019, 3:54:06 AM Quote this Post
Day 4 results: Did uber lab, got 10 watch stones. Running t10 mostly, unless crazy rolls on maps I can one-shot map packs, going in boss room with 7 frenzy charge, most boss goes down in less than 10 seconds. Got lucky with drops, a 6l Queen's decree sold for 2ex 40c, and an ex drop. geared myself with death opus and lion eye fall. next step will be looking for quiver unveil and craft frenzy on crit.

Hi, thanks so much for this guide and i've been tweaking my build with all the advice you've provided in this guide. It's been a love-hate relationship with this build ... map clearing is a breeze but i'm having a lot of difficulty with meta bosses. A few questions: - How do you trigger frenzy? - The recent change whereby we can't freeze meta bosses - does that break this build? - If I'm lacking int in the build (high level Cast When Crit gem), do you suggest I downgrade the gem or are we able to get sufficient int from gear? Here's my current PoB gear - any constructive criticism is much appreciated! Especially where you think I should focus on getting my next upgrade. https://pastebin.com/AK9NMB6M	Posted by Muffintaicho on Dec 21, 2019, 4:04:42 AM Quote this Post

I looked through your pob, here is a few things i notcied. - do not use rotgut, it removes all frenzy charge. - I suggest you go the upper route leading to primaeval force. chance for ailments does not mean you will inflict them, you still need to do enough damage to pass the threshold.

Alright thanks man!! I guess I can get some fire/lightning dmg from jewels, wwould it be enough for it to work better? Anyways, I mean, I am not having much problems against most bosses, the most tanky ones just take a couple more seconds but thats okay, I still have crazy dmg.
