Can someone help me with importing an accurate POB from my character, as the numbers seem way off when I do it.


I've been using the POB that ckp2906 provided around pay 47 of the thread, and he's showing around 26m ARC dps - https://pastebin.com/9qmtKjWZ

I attempted to import my character (swppf) using the local identity forked version of POB, and after matching the configuration up still only get to around 9m dps - https://pastebin.com/NjFUGnSD

Also my armor and ES are way higher in POB than in game so I think something didnt get imported correctly. I know I could add more DPS with smite, but it still doesn't come close to the original POB. Any help I can get would be appreciated, as I just want to see what my actually stats are and how I can improve.

Bump if anyone can take a look. Here is my gear if it helps

Regarding damage, I dont have time to take a look at ur POB right now but i also had the same problem as you.

Regarding ES though, the problem lies within POB.
it is currently a known bug (just confirmed it)
Radiant faith is still counted as having the (aura) tag in pob hence allowing purposeful harbringer to buff it when it shouldn't as it has been nerfed in the last patch.

I leveled with Hollow Palm Technique all the way till lvl 70ish at blood aqueduct. It's a bit boring, but very effective, melts boss and blasts through acts. You follow the same tree, and beeline for the first outer socket. I swapped to the Herald build around 72, and it was smooth sailing after.

How did you level with hollow palm? I find it hard to level/kill monsters with it. Any advice?

Any thoughts on CI variarion of the build? Is loosing LL and RF worth it?

So i want honest answer before i invest 50+ EX into this build. Does this build actually function that much better than other meta builds ? Because jesus fck herald jewel prices are insane and crafting them is just as expensive if not more(spent 5 ex just now trying to craft one w/o any luck) and you need 9 of them. Wont even talk about rest of the stuff. Because it seems like budget version is lackluster and i dont wanna spend 30+ ex just to struggle with tier 14+ maps lol when i got builds that can do that with just couple Ex. Tyvm for answers.

[UNNATURAL INSTINCT][QoL Watcher's Eye]

21 Million Shaper DPS when I activate vaal haste using Arc (5M tooltip on game)
PoB: https://pastebin.com/rmYhu24S {10% more damage on 1 Voices to simulate Radiant Crusade post-nerf, also ES is like 500 less cuz nerfs}

Overall this build is Incredibly solid, thanks for the guide really worth the investment.

Pushing this to be my first lvl 100 c:

Could you pls explain why you are choosing the path directly right in your tree and take charisma and annoint the other mana reduction thing?
Because in terms of skillpoints, the tree in the right upper corner, bottom down would be better. Also you can take ghost reaver for leech.

I have a similar tree to him lacking Unnatural Instinct though.

Without Charisma, Champion of the cause and the small node for mana reduction it wouldn't be possible for me to get all auras to work.
I need to run a high level Clarity otherwise I'm running out of mana with all buffs (Onslaught, Vaal Haste and normal Haste).
I'm running a Lvl 4 Enlighten and sit around 80 mana with all Auras up.

I need to play around a little more though since I have almost 200 life unreserved.

Small break down of cost:

2 Voices 7 passives (6ex each)
Skill gems (21/23 Vaal Arc 7ex but a normal one is 2ex)
AW Cold Pen - 3.5ex
Call of the Brotherhood x2 - 2x1ex
Amulet - Craft with Reserved Mana and Vitality - 2.5Ex or Chayula - 40c
Boots - Option 1: Whatever works with 35% ms and Chaos res, Tailwind and Elusive boots for 4-5ex or Dori Boots for 17ex
Herald Jewels - 4 Heraldry and 4 Purposeful Harbinger are enough for decent damage - 3ex for Heraldry 1.5ex for the others is 18 ex total
Shav's 4ex (5link is doable aswell)
Mali Gloves - 2.5ex
Watchers Eye 1-1.5ex
Nebulis 100c
Sinner Tricorne 10-50c
Prism Guardian 50 - 80c
Enlighten 3/4 1 ex - 2.5ex
You can make it work with some adjustments - 50ex are doable.
High end is definetly more in the range of 80-100ex.

Dont think so man, I needed to invest around 100ex into this build to feel pretty happy about it. each of the jewel really helps boost dmg and survivability by alot.

Definetly not.
Why people keep on buying stuff which makes limited sense but has insane prices is beyond me. For instance Split Personality with ES + Str. Why would you pay 5ex for that kind of stuff if a normal one (ES and Armour) is 5c?

Honestly, 50 ex with this build is ok-ish. 6 heraldry purposeful harbinger is 3 ex a pop currenctly =18 ex. 3 endbringer = 1.5 ex. 3 7-passive voices is like 18 ex.

So jewels alone already at 50 ex.

With 50 ex, i can invest into other build than can shit on endgame content harder than this “50 ex” budget heralry, storm brand comes to mind. So IMHO, you should try this build at 100 ex or so. It starts to shine after you put pieces together.

Thanks to the T3 Cor. room :D

Switched to EK with that +2 implicit , feels so insanely good with A.Chain and A. Spell echo :D

Singletarget is enough for instant kill the most stuff, sirus in the last phase i a joke und loss his hp in one shot, but he survive and got hp back lol .

this question pops up every 2-3 pages.

Yes build is worth it, not sure what are the meta builds this league. I assume cyclone, COC and ... hmm... EK... storm brand...

I started off with few jewels, shavs 6L and like 40ex. I would say this build can take as many ex as you can make so the good point here is that you can always make this better.

I talked to a guy who did storm brand with shims and he told me for few EX he can do basically same content. Practically if you like OPs variant, crit arc variant or wanna do diff build its up to you. if you have ex to invest go for this one. I just reached lvl 98 and it was easy. I will prob do lvl 100 again as its like playing aurabot with insane dmg.

anyway you can do well with much lower initial investment. I have pretty basic set up, got like 70ex to invest and wonder where and if it is even worth as I am already doing everything easily. I can inc. ES with ES helmet, add in rare amu with mana reservation and vitality... many many options to go through.

I am trying to decide whether to sell doryani map which just dropped or create those 19ex booties or get tailwind + elusive for moar clear but this league content kinda goes against clear speed policy as I tend to spawn mobs from those pods and it takes a bit of time and it sloooows me down quite nicely. I would really like vitality and more ES, thats for sure but stun imunity would be hard to replace.
