This guide seems pretty good actually, Thinking of coming back to PoE and grind some and this looks promising

Would like to try my luck at an indepth character critique.
Would like to eek out as much dps and survivability as possible (dps>survivability as I am lvl 97 and probably stop after 98). 10 div budget currently. Should I be worrying about going Enlightened lvl 4 and squeeze in another aura? Yes, I self cast flammability! https://pastebin.com/fuRHHSm7 |

Hey Guys,
What a ride! I haven't played POE in about 5 months but thought I'd come back and see how this build is going in the new league. It still f**king RIPS the game! I only had 5 days to start this league and play before life takes over again so I set myself the goal to kill Maven and Uber Elder. I managed to do it (as well as Sirus) on my 5th and final day (about 40hrs of gametime, and deathless fights!). Total cost of build was probably about 2 Div. Super happy with how this build still performs. It just works so beautifully. So again, you don't need anything fancy to get through end-game. No watchers, No lethal pride, No unnatural instinct, etc. No Watchtowers or a 6th totem. No 6L, just a 5L bow and 4 socket chest. No proper gem setups or awakened gems. Not running all auras. It's purely to show that end-game is 100% viable on a major budget. I'm gonna be out again for now as I really don't have the time for POE. But I'll check the 3.21 announcements and update the build guide as necessary at the time. Good luck! Last edited by brunowa on Jan 27, 2023, 4:26:13 PM

Hey all, I was hoping I could get some tips on where to go from here. This is my first league and any tips on furthering this character are super appreciated!
POB: https://pastebin.com/P0tQZpsC IGN: Umbreena I followed the POB in the first post and have been trading for items based on the POB tool. I feel very squishy and like I don't have enough damage as I enter the end of Atlas. T16s can sometimes be tough and collecting bosses for Maven isn't as quick as I would like. I tried Maven as well and through 6 portals got to what is almost the last phase. I suppose I want to be pretty well-rounded since this is my first league so I can experience as much as I can, but I have been enjoying mapping, heist, sanctum, and delve. Thank you all!!

" A few things : -quality your belt or buy a new one (a 42% one is around 20-25 chaos) -no life on your boots -if you feel squishy, buy a rare armor with life/resist/armor until you have more DPS -buy an amulet with +1 to fire/all skills (or both when you will have the currency for) with life -explosive arrow is level 20, try to vaal yours or buy a lv21 -buy a lv 5 awakened burning damage (+1 level to explosive arrow) -no ignite proliferation support gem or searing enchant on your glove (ignites you inflict spread...) -no "totem taunt enemies around them for 1 second" mastery? -what's your hit chance?

" I appreciate your response and I appreciate you checking it all out. You really are great, thank you so very much! I did pretty much everything you laid out here and had significant results. I'm now flying through T16 no problem and can quickly down the bosses. I still have some work to do and see spots where I can upgrade but this is very comfortable now and feels really good. Updated POB if you had any other comments or to help anyone else out that might be looking: https://pastebin.com/cm4qfjzk Last edited by LupumUltionem on Jan 27, 2023, 8:14:00 PM

Hey all,
I have tried to fallow the build but i got a bit lost on how to proceed. Can you please give a few tips on what to change next on this character ! POB: https://pastebin.com/PTfXJDRs I feel that my dmg is not at 100% of what it should be and i know that i still need servivability but i am not sure where to get it from. Thank you. |

" I'll take a first stab and try to help! With the aid of others on here, my character has gotten to a good place with Armour/Evasion and I have about 25M DPS. 1) An increase in attack speed would really benefit your survivability. By increasing your DPS, you will kill things faster and they'll have less of an opportunity to do damage. You're definitely at a point where you can and should upgrade your quiver to acquire damage over time multiplier and attack speed. You could get a bit of life too. Search for a broadhead base that has a fractured mod for more attack speed / DOT multi. Do not fear losing that "+1 Totems" on the quiver, you're at 7 right now which you'd rarely reach outside of bossing. At 6 totems, your max fuses is 17 and can be increased with more attack speed. 2) Other attack speed options: getting attack speed on ONE of your flasks, searching for or crafting a bow with more (you can get up to 19% on base mods), and your gloves. 3). Use Instilling orbs on your utility flasks and search for "Used When Charges Reach Full". While mapping, they should remain in near constant uptime automatically. 4). Your boots and gloves would benefit from eldritch currencies. There are notes from others on what is most beneficial but it is somewhat dependent on what you have on other gear. Getting ignite proliferation implicit on your gloves would allow you to take out Ignite Proliferation Support from your bow, in favor of Lvl3+ empower for more DPS. Back to the point on gloves, I'd prioritize getting new ones with at least 70+ life and high attack speed/suppression. 5.) Your resistances are WAY overcapped. Even with some mods that take away 10/12% of your resistances, you do not need to be nearly as high for fire/cold/lightning as you are. Feel comfortable trading some of these away in favor of more attack speed and DOT multiplier (particularly on gloves for the suppression and attack speed). 6.) After you reach the fuse count cap, consider pushing your attack speed even further and moving back to a 21/0 Exploding Arrow. This will drop your duration, making your explosions happen faster. 7.). Your Spell Suppression is not at 100%. This opens you up to large amounts of burst elemental damage. As you swap out your helm/Gloves/Boots, this is a near must to acquire. 8.) Swapping out Bastion of Elements in favor of Shaper of Storms on your ascendency grants a lot of extra damage, at only the cost of some damage mitigation. You may want to wait to make this move until after you've capped your spell suppression. 9.) Get the elemental damage catalysts on your Dyadian Dawn, and push to 20%. 10.) Your "Spirit Curio" jewel is adding very little value. Look for attack speed with bows and increased maximum life, along with the DOT multi you have. 11.) I encourage you to poke around at some of the skill trees on here (you can use mine if you want, we're a similar level and I haven't bought all of the super expensive jewels beyond Unnatural Instinct) to see what you could acquire if you dropped Hired Killer in favor of Watchtowers. Doing so would allow you to conserve several skill points that could be used for attack speed and damage increases. Hope this helps as a start! |

" Just a quick interjection, you don’t have to search for that flask enchant. You can add it via the bench for 5 instilling orbs. | |

Hello guys! How do you deal with Freeze? Checked poninja, noone using flask with immune to freeze and chill. TY for answers!
