Loving the build! But I feel like I'm lacking some damage overall.
Could someone please have a look and consult me in how to improve?

- get 20% quality on belt (attack mods)

- switch faster attacks to deadly ailments

(long term I recommend switching to devouring diadem helmet, get searing exarch implicit on gloves "Ignites you inflict spread ..." and use EA - ballista totem - elemental damage with attacks - burning damage - deadly ailments - empower)

- use frenzy - gmp - hextouch - flammability

(flammability on hit ring only uses flammability level 1)

- cluster jewels:

try to get sleepless sentries/ancestral echo on medium jewel, you can self craft large jewel with harvest (reforge with attack modifiers) try to roll martial prowess/tempered arrowheads/broadside (you don`t use broadside, so its just 5 skillpoints used)

you current cluster jewel setup is not really worth the points, better spend them in the tree to get to dirty techniques and use a lethal pride in the jewel socket next to it (to find a good jewel use: https://poedb.tw/us/TimelessJewel, it takes some time to find a good one but its worth it).

- try to get amulet with +1 to level of all fire skill gems, later also +1 to level of all skill gems

- get accuracy on gear, only using precision is not enough (e.g. ring with %global accuracy rating and +accuracy)

-if you got some currency get a unnatural instinct jewel and put it in the jewel socket next to elemental equilibrium)


Good luck.

Appreciate the help! Did some upgrades and absolutely feels way better already, thank you!

Hey all, I was hoping I could get some tips on where to go from here.

I followed the POB and have been trading for items. 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.

Guess around 200 divine, but most of the stuff is not really needed, I just found a mageblood and had the currency to spend :).

Just took a short look:

Get elemental imunity - easy via purity of elements or stormshroud jewel

could use devouring diadem helmet with grace - determination - purity of elements - enlighten level 3, then you still have enough mana for defiance banner + precision

with that setup you could switch lifetap to empower in bow and you dont need ignite proliferation since you already got that mod on the glove implicit, switch that with elemental damage with attacks

get spell suppression to 100%

drop damage over time mastery

drop cluster jewel, spend points in the tree (e.g. primal manifestation) or switch to medium cluster jewel with sleepless sentries on it

find good lethal pride timeless jewel and put it in jewel socket next to dirty techniques

more life :), good to get on jewels with 7%max life + attackspeed with bows or fire damage over time multiplier (all three mods on one jewel can get pretty expensive though)

What is your budget?

Ok so the first thing I see that you need to fix is to put all your auras in your chest. You have supports linked to Defiance Banner and precision which is making them more expensive for no reason. If you can get an enlighten add that in your chest with the other 5 auras.

You are currently lvl 90. Just level up a bit more and invest in spell suppress nodes to get capped at 100%.

You can drop the damage over time mastery node since we don't want skill effect duration to go up. The shorter the skill effect duration, the faster the explosions happen.

You also dont want quality on your EA gem as it also adds to skill effect duration. You can buy a 21/o EA gem for pretty cheap (10c right now)

You have 4 nodes going over to deep wisdom you can drop and reallocated somewhere else. Bravery, Evasion Mastery Wheel (pick up grace reservation mastery here), cloth and chain, heart of oak. These will all help add to survivability.

You can drop the elemental mastery node since you are way over res capped.

Pick up a couple jewel sockets on the tree and invest in good rare jewels with the stats listed in the guide.

Attack Quality on your belt to get the Ignites you inflict up to 42%

Do what you can to get your hit chance to 100%. Grab a two-point arrow quiver. They have up to 30% attack rate implicit.

Invest in a better cluster jewel with more large nodes on it.

Thats all I really have time to look into at the moment. Hopefully someone else can take a look at your PoB and add to what I've suggested.

Good Luck!

If you want more dps:
1. you should switch out ignite prolif for elemental damage with attacks since you already have the glove implicit.
2. you should also use awakened versions of the support gems.
3. A cluster jewel with 2 or 3 passives will help with dps too.
4. Ascendancy of heart and destruction will give you a lot more dps against bosses especially. As long as you're moving, uber lab should be no issue.
5. Your helmet is also a problem, with implicit of adds fire damage to attacks. This makes elemental equilibrium useless.
6. Get a amulet with +1 gems mod

If you're feeling squishy:
1. its probably because you're not elemental ailment immune. Ailments can really hurt, so you should get purity of elements socketed or get the stormshroud jewel and have 100% shock avoidance boots. Getting frozen kind of means instant death when packs swarm in higher tier and juiced maps.
2. Having higher spell suppress will also definitely help in not getting one shot at random.

Just to be clear: this build can do Sanctums and Essence, right?
Is it a decent league starter or should i look somewhere else?

We posting videos here killing ubers and tanking Uber sirus and you ask about essences?
