[3.21] ShakCentral's Cold DoT Elementalist For Everyone
|
Hey guys! So currently getting into the endgame here, really enjoying the build. Been focused on survivability due to being newer at the game, but I feel pretty good about how hard I am to kill at this point and want to focus on upping my DPS more. Looking for reccomendations to increased DPS, but any other catches about anything I'm messing up are appreciated :).

" definitely not a veteran here, I'm the guy asking for help with my lack of boss DPS two posts up ;) but I spent a bit comparing your POB to mine and to the official guide one. Here's what I found: the guide POB with the out-of-the-box config overstates the DPS because it has the LL auras active by default (Zealotry in particular) on the LL shield. I think it's a side effect of having both configs in POB, you have to turn on and off the appropriate skill groups for the configuration. When I turn off the LL shields, the DPS for the "CI only final" tree drops from 2M to 1.02 on Sirus. Almost exactly the same as yours. So I think there's nothing wrong with your setup and basically if you want to improve the build further you have to switch to LL. Not really sure about whether adding RF, moving frostbite to the wand and removing frost bomb will really help, as RF is only active at a few points but FB on the wand is active most time. It looks like removing FB would drop your DPS substantially on bosses to 866k on Sirus, while dropping FB and adding RF brings you back to 1.1M. So looks like RF would be a temporary boost of DPS of about 8% vs FB, assuming I have used POB appropriately. That also led me to realize that my DPS is still too low on bosses, as I did not have Sirus as the target in my config. So looking at your problem also kind of answered my own question a bit: my dps is still too low on bosses but the CI version of the build tops out at around 1M dps. Whether that's enough probably depends on play style. | |

Nice catch with disabling the LL skills! Thank you! You are right, maybe it's time to switch to LL.
Btw, choosing Sirus as the boss is a very sad option in PoB, our DPS immediately drops to 1/2. :) But when I fight him, it's like you said, easy-peasy until the last phase begins. The hardest part seems to be evaluating when he starts beaming after the clone phase. So the sad true likely is that we need to learn the fight mechanics better. I got him at Awakening lvl 5 but it was a nail-biter. I'm afraid I won't get any higher without LL or being really good at the fight mechanics. Regarding the skill swap, I think the main QoL improvement for me is having Blasphemy linked to Malevolence and Frostbite. With Blasphemy, the whole screen explodes without too much effort. Without it, fights take longer and I have to be closer to the enemies. I would still like to hear other's opinion on this. Anyway, thanks for taking the time and looking into my PoB. And good luck with Sirus. :) " | |

For me with Sirus, i only tend to have trouble if the spinning beams plus + clones are happening, and i didnt see which clone he actually is. Then it becomes a bit of a game of luck. Did A7 pretty easily yesterday, though my gear is not exactly cheap.

" I mean, untill you start adding clusters to your tree. 2 Medium Clusters with both Vile Reinvigoration and Brush With Death socketed in one Large Cluster will sustain your ES in any pack in the game. | |

Died to two of the elder guardians. I think mostly mistakes, but do wish i had more ES haha. 6,600 a little rough at times. 10 boss maven invite was rough too. Mainly primordial blocks one, and i think either maven or some other boss summoning this volley of projectiles :/

" Lovely! Congrats! Makes such a huge difference. I really noticed it last league but doubt I will get the currency together this league!!! lol I finally got a decent stat stick last night, doesn't have the spell damage of a good version but has all the rest we need on this build. So glad to have the Spider skill back. Huge increase in dps for me, makes everything feel much better, bosses dying much more quickly. | |
" Is +4 better then +2 Duration, +1 to All Socketed? And why do you have such an expensive chest and non-corrupted Prism? Last edited by Its_OP on Feb 3, 2021, 5:45:00 AM

Anyone have tips for the endgame Maven boss encounters? Shaper Guardians was EZ but got destroyed by the breachlords. Haven't tried any others yet though. Maybe I should have tried the breachlords white instead of rare haha
