Thread moves very fast and it's easy to miss people, don't be afraid to repost. I looked back at your gear and here are the quick improvements I see.

1. Stop using empower on your wrath until you can get an enlighten 2+, You are most likely running dry on mana quite a bit.

2. Get a better rolled Piscator. Your's is bottom of the barrel on attack speed and crit, those are our best stats on that wand.

3. Just level your gems. On the added lightning damage gem alone the difference between lvl 18 and 20 is over 100 lightning damage. Think what you would kill for a 1-100 lightning damage roll on a ring or something, and Piscator's makes that 2-200.

Those are all the easy cheap things you can do, after that you are looking at saving for rather expensive items like attacks vinktar or expensive jewelry.

Thanks for the help scarri, I appreciate you taking your time out.

Is this a good Jewel? It costs 10ex. Is it worth it?

16% increased Lightning Damage
+10% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
7% increased maximum Life
4% increased Attack and Cast Speed

Alright, so I started gearing this character up today.

Bought: Devoto's helm with the 2barrage enchant = 1ex + 130c
Atziri's Steps boots with the 1-160 Lightning dmg enchant = 2ex and 10c


I still need to grab a vinktars flask with lightning damage to attacks which will cost me about 220c probably. So I won't have too much left over but hopefully I can get decent rings/belt first. I also will eventually switch out the thunderfist gloves for gripped gloves.


Quick question:

Is it fine to use an Empower +2 with Enlighten +2 and Wrath? I was wondering since I've been leveling my enlighten for awhile and it's 1/3rd the way to level 3. (Yeah I know that's still a shitton of xp lol). I figured I'd just buy a non corrupted level 2 Empower if that's fine/worth it and level it alongside the Enlighten.


Thanks.

How are you achieving such high attack speed? Even if I got a wand with attack speed, I still can't achieve the same attack speed that you have in hideout. Is it from all the attack speed jewels? I've tested in Path of Building but still can't achieve it.

I made this. Any suggestions on where to go from here / whether or not it's worth using over Piscator's even with multimods?

Hi and thanks for this awesome build is really awesome, i need a tips on what item should i invest next, today i try to switch to gripped gloves from the thunderfist only a little improvement from heal ( around 100hp) but loosing 8k on KB skill, i really appreciate if possible some tips. Here's my gear atm



JEWELS

Hey. I was looking into doing this build and leveling up a ranger. My budget is about 3000 chaos. Is it enough to buy "good" gear for this build?

i am starting to feel like a piscator's witnesses preaching about how great piscators is but the amount of people wasting money on rare wands is just insane. i posted here before and got pmed by multiple people for advice, and i talked to a few others i met in game and all of them seem to obsess over rare wands.

if you open OPs path of building pastebin and do nothing but replace his wand by a well rolled piscators.. you go from 3,28 to 3.1m Dps. a perfect piscators costs like 50c. get a piscators with culling strike <500c and you will have a wand that cant be beat (OPs wands are crazy btw..and incredebly expensive too. since we mainly scale lightning damage getting high edps is not as important as inc lightning%)- if you add cullings 10% to the 3.1m dps you suddenly outperform pretty much any wand there is. theoretically this would put our dps to 3.41m!

For fun to see what it does i added the #1 ele wand on harbringer, which is up for mirror service at a 40ex mirror fee, 400edps (t1 light/cold/fire), t1 crit, t1 crit multi and crafted attack speed... an item like that puts our dps to 3,58mill...


anyway, what i am trying to say here is: a piscators is an incredible wand that can barely be beat. the weapon slot is the slot that is the hardest to upgrade and should be done last, if at all. Considering a dps upgrade by 5% (from 3,41 to 3.58) would cost an astonishing 200ex.. (or 185 if you sell the piscators first) i highly advice against it. Instead of spending 50ex on a wand, use that currency to buy jewelery which is where most of your dps comes from anyway!

The OP surely has very good items (and exceptional wand/jewels). However, his gear is very "added dmg" - focused. If you take my rings for example, the comparison should turn out more in favor of the rare wand. And tbh. opals should be used for such comparisons/discussions. Piscator's is a great wand, but compared to OP's wand or a mirrowand I could hardly imagine it being competitive.


P.S. My gear is ofc. nowhere near as good or single-target focused as his. May try it out eventually, but more focused on maps/lvling for now.

i had a look at your gear and piscators (without a cull corrupt) is just barely worse than your current wand (roughly 5%?), but considering you use esh's mirror which will provide a lot of flat added damage a piscators will still scale much better.

anyway the point i am trying to make here is: when you upgrade your gear you should do so as efficiently as possible. For example you wouldnt wanna get a 30 ex jewel if you dont even have a +2 helmet enchant yet, as the dps improvement of a 4 stat over a 3 stat jewel is significantly less than a +2 enchant vs no enchant. i see a lot of people heavily investing into weapons when the return they get is much less than what they could have gotten if they spent that money on jewelery or whatever. maybe you can beat my 50c piscators with your 25ex wand, but when i take the 23ex i save and spend it on other things, i will benefit much more. wands are incredebly expensive for what they do, so new players should focus on upgrading them last. i feel like this is something a lot of people do not understand

You are right in the sense, that if you take my current (!) barrage links, non-corrupted piscators is barely worse.
However, there are some things to consider:

1) I am chaining beachheads and barely using barrage, therefore the "added cold" for some safety and less variance, if I do. With the proper 6link for bosses (lightning pen) the difference is around 8-9 %. This number may be arbitrary and differ from 5-10%, depending on the PoB configurations.
What I did was:
- changed added cold to lightning pen
- deactivated the enchant ("killed recently" = true)
- artificially added 25 Esh's mirror stacks on my ammu
- created a piscator with the best rolls I could find on the market (30%, 114%, 376% or so).
- activated frenzy charges. Probably also should activate power charges.
- "enemy is NOT shocked", "enemy is intimidated", "proj distance = 10"

I have yet to test out vaal breach and can't tell how many stacks are realistic. Otherwise the number may very well differ, depending on circumstances (open map? closed map? boss room? shapers realm?).
That's for barrage. For KB numbers largely differ depending on the map. For things like shaped dunes with 50+ stacks, piscator's is doing great, for beachhead boss encounter, probably not.
Would I buy a wand like mine for grinding 500 shaped dunes with + 2 breaches and bisco's? Probably not.

TLDR:

-5% is a rather low estimate imo. A lot of things depend on gear, settings and the encounter
- 10% multiplier for cull is a bit arbitrary in my eyes. It's a nice QoL but a rather high estimate overall. For bosses with phases a separate cull setup can be used (largely negating the cull advantage).
- would I buy my current wand for X ex? I don't know, got lucky essencecrafting it. Otherwise would have tested both a worse rare and a well rolled piscator's.
Would I start the build by investing every chaos into the wand? No, I fully agree with you on this topic. Jewellery, enchants and jewels should have higher priority.
However, since I got the wand, I won't be swapping it for piscator's either (slightly less dmg, more stacks rng).
