Spider multi gloves how? Are weaves worth it or i try get spider ring?

Doesn't matter where you craft spider as long as the item doesn't have support gems on it. Enlighten doesn't count (it doesn't affect spider anyway).

Ring, amulet, belt, quiver slots are the safest. Other pieces, be sure you don't have support gems on it or it will increase the reservation of the spider unnecessarily.

In guide gloves are fine because they only have auras in it.

Due to specific requirement for all other pieces (like magic rings and uniques in other slots), we can only fit aspect in gloves, quiver or belt.

Ring in theory can have the aspect, but you will need to beast split a ring and it's not guaranteed that it will be magic (only if it has up to one prefix and one suffix)

I assume we use sand stance?

Yes

A quality of life alternative to enduring cry (which may be annoying without instant cast) could be steelskin.
I personally put withering step on my left click, steelskin on my right click and crafted on all my flasks 'trigger when using a guard skill'.
While mapping, I keep both clicks pressed which gives me permanent lifetap and automated flasks. While bossing, I only press right click when trying to remove ailments, or trying to defend from a hit.

The upside is not pressing flasks while still having control over their charges and permanent lifetap without spamming skills.

The downside is losing 18% phys damage mitigation. You still get some defense from steelskin, though.
Also, if you take the timeless jewel for elemntal damage mitigation and max chaos resist, you can swap soul of arakaali with soul of lunaris for phys damage mitigation + movement speed + chance to avoid projectiles + some dodge chance when hit if you're not capped.

I havent been playing much but it looks like taking forever to farm 1 chaos out of 60-70 for the armour and i wonder if i am doing anything wrong just by running white maps + doing the league mecanism which keeps dropping crap

Not sure what do you mean by 60-70 chaos, Death's Oath costs 1c. Also if "it takes forever to farm 1c" you should be doing chaos recipe.

Not a 5-6 socket death oath which is essential

Did you check the guide section Gear Explained -> how to color death's oath? Pretty sure it will be cheaper to self-color it because it's easier to farm jewellers than chaos. Also remember you don't need to link the sockets, so don't waste your fusing.

i am not talking about the linking just the sockets and yes i did , i just have no ideia where to find a 5-6 socket xD

In delve. 6 socket is abyssal city (green chests), 5 socket is either haunted remains or azurite III node, check on your crafting bench (it says in unknown recipes where they are from). The 5 socket can be shared from anyone who completed that node, the 6 socket requires uncompleted node (despawns after leaving it), but again can be shared from a person who found that node and didn't clear it yet.

You don't need it 6-linked so the prices will be drastically lower. I was lucky, as I got mine with 2R, 2B, 2G for around 20chaos, which is absolutely attainable before the required level, thanks mostly to the new league. Haggle, haggle, haggle for those sweet juicy chaos orbs! Do the actual expeditions, focus on quantity of items, prioritize currencies chests.
But really with haggle alone I probably did 20/30 chaos easy. Maybe it's not the best use of those currencies and league mechanisms, but you do what you have to do ;)

And chaos recipes, obviously. Full rare unidentified sets to the vendors. 2 chaos. It's seen as a "poor method of making chaos" considering the very items you're selling may already cost more than 2 chaos, but it's easier and ROI is immediate.

Right now on trade I can spot enough offers between 15 and 40 chaos if you're willing to customize the colors yourself. It's doable : haggle / recipes =)

I was thinking of rerolling into this build, what would you say is the minimum budget for it to be able to do T16 maps and some bosses with comfort? Not deathless, just not "use 6 portals as a defense" kinda deal

I decided to reroll to this build some days ago and haven't regretted it a bit. Amazing build but I need some advice.. I just bought the end game bow and the next upgrade I'm thinking is Transcendent Mind and Watcher's Eye but even with those I can't reach your dps at all.. I know I need some chaos mods in my quiver and gloves but that's very hard to do atm since im struggling a lot with the resists. If I change anything my resists fall to below 75%.

My health is very low as well and all I can think of is synthesised rings which will drop my resists as well except if i give more than 4-5ex for each. Can you please look at my build and give me an upgrade order?

Nice build, thanks.

Transitioned my Cold DoT to this since it was awful to play. damage is alot lower to the bosses in this build or lower than most Dot builds since it won't do DoT damage for a long time (Toxic arrow or even Cold DoT will continue to do damage even if you die) but hey, they killed everything playable in this game at the same time made the enemies faster/stronger so we all suffer unless Mirror tier investment which isn't going to happen to 99% or us.

Question: Can i ditch Blink Arrow and use Flame Dash instead ? it's terrible unless it's doing something that i don't know. movement speed is fine without those, just need something better for dodging.
