-Bow + Helmet can stay for now, those are looking good

-Quiver is very mediocre, signal fire (for conversion) is the best. Drillneck or even Blackgleam are very cheap upgrades though.

- gloves are ok for capping resists. At some point you want more dmg - you got two cheap options there.
A) thunderfist as another setup (for barrage or blast rain) - no flat life but a 5.5-link.

B) rare gloves with attack speed, preferably gripped gloves (because of the implicit).

belt: I'd replace it with a rare belt (similar res. just extra life roll). You can choose between rustic/leather belt as the more offensive/defensive base.

jewellery: ammu is ok - bless it and craft flat phys on it. You don't need accuracy with lioneye's glare (your otherwise ok-ish breach ring becomes worthless - replace it with something else if you want to stick with LoG for a while).

On a side note: I'd look more into the links - those aren't really optimal as of now. You need much more crit (I hate inc. crit gems, but there's little way around it). If you choose PTL (conversion) in your links, you need to attach WED onto it and convert the other 50% with blackgleam/signal fire (or at least take the cold dmg nodes). I'd replace PPAD, because it tends to underperform in a conversion setup.
Something like TS-GMP-PTL-WED-IncCrit with blackgleam / signal fire should give you a lot of dmg and consistency.

I bought a blackgleam and will buy a signal fire as my next item. i redid the links in my bow and gained like a 10% increase in the dmg tooltip for tornado. Also banked the breach ring for whenever i end up ditching the lioneye and got a ring to cap my resists (my old quiver had resistances).

I dont understand the point about the belt , since mine has like 30str that sort of counts like a life roll doesnt it?

I will tackle a new pair of gloves once i recover some currency since the signal fire will drain me, i cant really even afford it right now but hopefully will in the next few days.


Thanks a lot for your input.

First time Poe player here. Just hit lvl 66 as a raider going into act 10. Builds been great fun so far! Few questions:

1) So far on the tree I've pushed for a few extra life/defense nodes and avoided any ele pen.
In late game is full conversion the go-to for damage or more of a stylistic/optional choice for a raider?

2) Should I worry about chaos resist at all? If so what should I aim for as I push into mapping.

3) When trying to get red sockets for CWDT would you prioritize an evasion base with 2 reds or an evasion/armour cross with 3 reds to get the increased duration gem in. Obviously 3 reds on evasion is ideal but I'm poor :).
