why increased crit instead of ele dmg with attacks without strike gloves? PoB is showing slightly more dps with ele dmg gem. Just got to maps trying to figure out if i should buy a 6 link with 2 blues or 2 reds. Thanks
Crit gem is more for if you have bad crit chance early on. If you get better consistent damage with ele damage feel free to swap
Im in the endgame for this LS and i don't know where to go with it to boost my dmg. I feel like i should be doing a lot more than i am currently, anyone able to peak at my character and tell me if there's some obvious upgrades? Ring/ammy seems lackluster, have a lackluster jewel, and no bottled faith yet. I just sold all i had to get HH.
Character is Zoomstopher and it should be open to view
You don't have any ailment effect on your tree and using added cold instead of added lightning, which is questionable. I don't believe that even with all that gear you can apply maximum shock on end game bosses. And that basically where you're loosing a ton of damage. As of amulet, I'd probably go for Aul's. If you're still not crit capped, then lvl 21 nightblade will be an obvious upgrade. After all of that I'd probably go for good rare boots with tailwind, some life and resistances.
Without importing your character into pob I cannot tell for sure how good your cluster setup is, but I have a feeling that with the new skill tree and all those masteries you can get more from that.
Also you don't have any chaos res on your gear, which might not be a big problem under hh stacks, but I personally would try to get some just for QoL. Damage shouldn't be a big problem at that point anyway.
Thanks for the feedback! A few things as to why i have what i have currently:
1. I have been exploring the tailwind boots as a next upgrade, but i wanna do elevated and all that so it'll take a bit of saving up cuz I'm a poor boy. I'm gonna do tailwind/onslaught, and does it matter if i get elusive as well? I'm awful at the mechanics of this game, i just follow guides and not sure if elusive buffs my current elusive or if it's pointless stat for my build.
2. I'm using added cold only because i noticed on poe.ninja that most others were using it over added lightning. In reality though, i never considered going with lightning so I'll take a look and see what it does for me. would be nice if it boosts my dmg. Also all my gems are standard, could start going for lvl 21's and 6's instead of my 20s and 5s.
3. definitely dislike not having chaos res, but having a hard time even hitting basic res caps with HH lol. I considered swapping out my silver flask for a good atziri's for some chaos on use plus the other benefits, but i don't think it wins out over the onslaught buff (on second looks, its super close, prob worth tbh). I think now that i hit crit cap i can start looking to get more res in places.
Overall my dmg does feel really good, i melt most bosses, can nearly phase sirus. I just feel like with my investment it should be higher. wave 28-30 is a slog most of the time and I've seen other LS builds do it faster with seemingly less expensive gear. I think the idea of getting increased non-dmg ailments on the tree might be a big area I'm missing, thanks for pointing it out.
Heres my pob if that helps - i added the buffs from my lethal pride:

Last question - Where do we get endurance charges? Im seeing other ppl on poe.ninja that have 3 endurance charges but i don't see it anywhere on the tree or items. Is it a poe.ninja thing that just shows it regardless? am i just being really dumb and overlooking it? thanks again!
Endurance charges from what I know is either on chest (Warlord) or a small armour cluster jewel. Both give you the mod to gain an endurance charge every second when hit. Or if you are feeling flush some people run replica farruls fur
could anyone give me an idea of what gear I should upgrade next to progress? or any obvious changes? not sure where I should be going next and would much appreciate it

Great well written guide, and awesome video content too!
I'm trying this build out and running like I am league starting just for practice. So far it's performed amazing.
My question is what is the recommended way to get your pierce and strike additional targets at league start. Is one of each enough for should I be aiming for 2 of each initially? What does everyone else do or aim to do? There are lots of ways to do this I know but trying to find the easiest/optimal way and also not sure how much of each is needed for it to feel ok

well - having the +2/+3 target helmet enchant was a nice one for me at least, freeing 3 skillpoints ;)
anger + herald + precision + grace i made work with enlighten level 3 :P
otherwise ... on your claw you miss some more ias and crit chance, this could be improved.
another step would be to go either the "farruls" way ( armor + cat ) or the rare powercharge-mod ( + optionally base crit ) armor - way that i went

Build is rock solid. Working on a claw upgrade right now.
Really thinking to get rid of Determination since build is fine in Softcore without it and go for Wrath.
P.S. : Suggestions are always welcome
Awesome guide, many thanks! Been playing 3.16 exclusively with this. Casual player here though hehe. Anyone can recommend me what would be the biggest upgrades as of now? Character is Mezkhal, check my profile.
Now play your build in Atlas Invasion SFF event.
It's so much fun, the mobility and the big shater explosions in connection with LS Damage on bosses and mobs .. so much fun
