i spent heaps trying to fit malevolence in so medium cluster small with mortifying aspect in etc then i saw the other persons pob doesnt use grace, so i took that out and it seems fine. what a waste of a bunch of currency and headache trying to make mana reservation work lol

You can get a third 50% Aura without any Reservation Cost, for free.

All it takes is 3x spare Sockets:

Get 2x Dark Marionetts (5c) and Link:
Spectre+Guardians Blessing+malevolence


Now you have your Spectres Buffing you with a super powered (+32% increased Effect) Malevolence.

Guardians Blessing downside (Spectre Die after some Time) is negated thru Dark marionetts Auto-revive.

Only Downside: Some times you can get a bit unlucky and both Spectres die at the some time, then you'll have to click the button again. (no mana cost)


But yeah, it's a free 50% Aura. Everyone should be running it :)

Could I get some help on where to go from here, beyond replacing my amethyst ring, which is pretty mediocre and fixing sockets so I dont have the dead purity of elements in there, im not sure on what steps to take especially to get close to some of the massive numbers others are posting as it feels like most of the things i could do would be fairly marginal

Could i get a review out of this? Honestly it is my first time ever making it this far with a build and with the game in general, always fell when trying to reach the pinnacle bosses and i dunno if i am ready for the uber ones.

Hello.

What I can say so far :

Tree looks okayish considering it's palsterony ("early late"). Later you'll want to remove the right side of the tree but you're probably not there yet.
One thing : anoint watchtowers on your amulet (or modify your tree so it's allocated for now). You need it.

Items :
You only have 57% spell suppression, even though you got Atziri's boots to help.
Considering your chest is a 5L (even 4L cause purity of elements isn't used and you don't need more resists), consider investing a few c in a 4L hyrri's ire chest armor for now, to help both with damage and spell suppression.
The spell suppression value will have to be 100% "later on", there are quite a few options to make it so. For example, magebane on the tree is right now 1 point for 18% spell suppression.

Start saving currency to craft yourself a bow when you can. The bow is everything when it comes to damage. With the recommended bow you'll basically double your dps.

Rest of the gear is "ok for now", you'll upgrade it over time to get stats you need.

Skills :
Ok, I was starting to wonder why you couldnt kill anything. That's the main issue with your damage right now.
Your EA setup is level 2-4-2-4-3-1 all 0 quality. Can't expect to kill things like this.
Level your gems/quality them (even buy some if you need to). Your EA setup at level 20 is almost 7 times your current dps.

So yeah, keep going, and if you need to farm on lower level areas to level your gems, just go for it.

Hi there. I am currently looking to invest around 40-50 div into my build (https://pobb.in/WjKBUcxRpHdI) but I am unsure into what. I am still missing the helmet that would give me quite considerable damage boost but it is very expensive in poetrade. Would welcome any insight into my build and where to invest.

Survivability feels good enough but damage is a bit lacking, at least for higher rares / bosses.

Thank you all v much

Hello. Let's go then :

Tree :
Looks ok, BUT missing watchtowers. Anoint your amulet for a +25% dps, avatar is nothing compared to it.
Also remove a point somewhere to get a +4 spell suppr node temporarily so you're spell suppression capped (or do something else elsewhere, items, charms, just cap that value, you're at 97% right now)

Skills : looking ok, i see you on little negative mana though, if so, de-level your precision gem so every aura fits.
Blood rage may be a bit tight right now, degen seems to exceed your regen.

Items :
The bow is a NO GO. You have added fire damage on it : your dps is reduced by almost half due to how EE works. You can't have added fire damage anywhere.
If you've got some savings, take a look at the craft method and re-craft it.

The gloves are a no go, there is added fire damage on them too. Same as the bow. Also, considering you removed ignite proliferation from gems, you want the proliferation implicit on the gloves (eldritch currency) so you can clear maps easily.

Rest of the gear can be upgraded later.

is there an easy way to search for only 3 ignites on the timeless jewel search

If you mean searching it on the trade site, then no. You can use the timeless jewel calculator https://vilsol.github.io/timeless-jewels/tree, but really there's only 2 sockets that work well for it. I mentioned the only other one aside from Anena's for good DPS without needing a bunch of notables that are useless for the build.

"If you have enough spell suppression without Magebane, Lethal Pride 14043 socketed above Sentinel will give nearly the same DPS as 12824 next to Vigour."

If you can reach 22 fuses comfortably, 20/20 will have more DPS for bosses/single target. For fast mapping where you probably aren't getting max fuses on trash mobs, then 21/0 would be stronger.
