I never know what is best to take as rewards and can't find it in the guide either (did I miss it?).
Advice would be welcome for what specific rewards to put when it comes to jewels.
Currently I'm in act 5 and have finished "Death to Purity" and "The King's Feast" and don't know what rewards to chose.
Any advice would be welcome and appreciated.


Well, outside the unique jewels listed in the guide what ever you chose would be for trading and not to be used in the build. However, if you're referring to the rare jewel rewards the stat priority of jewels for this build is listed in the guide as: (in order of efficiency)

Jewels:

1. Chaos Damage
1. Spell Damage
1. Spell Damage Whilst Wielding a Shield
1. Damage over Time
2. Life
2. Mana


These stats are only obtainable via the "Cobalt Jewel" (blue ones!)

Hope the answer is sufficient :)

Hello Ghazzy thanks for this awesome guide!!!

My Path of Building code is this:
https://pastebin.com/eL3yP2WH


The thing is some people reach really high DoT on PoB as someone posted here with 400k+ DoT while mine is hardly touching 60k and i have 6L CoD, %40ED increase enchant, dual chaos dmg rings and spell dmg amulet.
Other guy's PoB code in this thread
https://pastebin.com/Rb7vmzVp


Is there something I'm doing wrong? Should I change those Mana Jewels? And what I lose if I use Witchfire Brew flask? (I couldn't understand why you said don't use if there is no extra curse)

Thanks...

Hi Amstafff! Wow you have amazing gear! Can I ask what the build feels like for you? Are you facerolling T15 and killing shaper easily? Keen on getting your insight from a really really well geared perspective!
Proud Kiwi
I just wanted to say thank you for this build!

I just cleared Act 10, solo. At lvl 70. I did not follow everything as gospel -- which was probably as you intended. For example, I am still leveling a pair of Empower gems. Probably gonna be a while yet... I needed to clear more than one mob at a time so I used GMP. I started with Wither as my totem. But once I was close to using the Allelopathy glove I swapped to blight.

Mana was a struggle in the 1st half of the game but once I did the 1st Lab that changed. I have not yet done the others but will.

Anyone just starting with this build ... all I can say is STICK WITH IT. The only major mob that twisted my willy was the Brine King. Most of the rest were surprisingly simple. Map clearing was stupidly easy.

So... Thank you! I really enjoyed getting through the complete game for the 1st time. I had to wipe all my previous chars -- they got artificially advanced to end game and that just sucked. This is now my top char. I am very happy with it and expect to Map well with it.

My current gears include:
• Necromancer Circlet - 328 ES
• Breath of the Council Unique
• Rapinth Globe shield unique
• Allelopathy glove unique
• 6L Occultists Vestment rare [Shavronne's Wrappings when I get around to it]

I am not really seeing the advantage of MoM but might try it.

I still need to get more life [2889 + 3609 ES] because I took an extra arc of Chaos damage/redux

I will get my ass handed to me with Physical damage only Bosses but... I can work with that.

What weapons should I use while doing story content? I'm not likely to randomly stumble onto a dagger with spell damage or chaos damage implicits, and I can't use whirling blades or shield charge with a wand.

Hey,

Cheers!
If you are running Blasphemy-Curse setup which the build guide promotes and you only can apply 1 curse, the Witchfire Brew will never happen. However, if you can put 2 curses up both will work.

Regarding the PoB differences it is very easy, you have what you would call an actual tooltip DPS being displayed without any significant situations happening, the other PoB link you displayed with 406k DPS is showing enemies to be hindered, blinded & Shocked. As well as having flasks active, killed recenetly, killed enemy affected by your dot recently, power & frenzy charges enabled, as well as Fortify.
This is all configurable in the "Configuration" menu on your top left hand side in PoB.

Some stuffs are reasonable to include vs bosses and some only vs trash enemies, so the actual tooltip we want to look at is generally what our tooltip would be vs bosses or in your hideout without extra effects.

Boots & Amulet has pretty low HP.

Personally with this build I prefer to play with a Tabula corrupted with +1 gems. Which is cheaper than any of the other options but not everyone prefers that approach as I do.

Hey,

My pleasure bro, glad you like it!

Well, Contagion spreads your ED so no need for multiple projectiles. (Use Contagion then ED, once the first target dies everyone around it will get that ED and die).

Awesome to hear man, nice!

Anything that grants you spell damage, a great lvling item is the Heartbreaker dagger.
If you wield a wand you use Flame Dash. Honestly, stumbling across spell dmg rolled daggers is very common past lvl 30, so it's all about keeping an eye open when they drop tbh.

I don't get why going walk the aether first is good ? since most likely you will be using flame dash or if they are lucky whirling blades.

What order did you guys go in for ascendancy ?

Sup, buddy!
Glad you like my stuff. Just did a shaper set for you and the build is doing great. Feeling really tanky while mapping, clear speed is awesome, boss dmg is alright. Updated my gear and links btw.
