For those who are simming Rare wands as DPS increases over Piscators... you really need to look into Elemental damage Abyss jewels. Your build/tree/gear probably doesn't have enough of these jewels, or you are running ones with shitty mods (like life/attack speed, etc.) I see some people's builds still using OLD jewels. Those things are shit - use Abyss jewels.

Sure, a little Jewel may not seem all that great as an upgrade over a big shiny 40ex wand... but they are stupidly OP.

Let me break it down for you:

A Ring, rolled with Tier 1 Lightning to Attacks, can roll at maximum 7-72.
This is 39.5 average ele dmg.

Running a PoE search like this:
http://poe.trade/search/ahubomkomikuki

You'll find 80+ average ele dmg jewels for DIRT CHEAP (At the time of this post, I saw some 85-86 DPS ones for 12 chaos. TWELVE.)

(NOTE - If you are really rich, you can even snag 85+ DPS jewels WITH other mods (30+ flat life, I see some with 2% spell dodge which is nice, some with flat accuracy, crit mult, etc.)

Most PoE veterans understand that their ring/amulet slot contributes a big chunk to their DPS. Now, "MAYBE" a perfect rolled Opal ring with like 50%+ elemental to attacks, a T1 flat Lightning, and a T1 flat Cold/Fire will come CLOSE to one of these jewels... but only maybe.

So now imagine you can get anywhere from 4-8 of these jewels pretty easily, without going to ham on your skill tree/gear. Each one is like adding an extra ring to your build.

(Obviously, your ring can provide more defensive stats... life, resists, etc. - but I am talking from a pure DPS perspective, this comparison is just that... a generic comparison. Don't underestimate what a single Abyss jewel can do.)

Now, using a Piscator, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE GEMS RECEIVE THE 115% ELEMENTAL DAMAGE BONUS. And your rings. And your necklace.

How can a rare wand compare? It really can't. Save your 40ex + mirrors and get a 2c Piscator - if you are rich, get a Corrupted with Culling Strikes version and you are set all league.

My build currently has 3 Abyss jewels on my tree, 1 in my belt, and 2 in my glove (Tombfist). That's 6 total. I am honestly going to go home later and see if any nodes are worth dropping to pick up more jewel sockets... they are really OP with Piscator. If I was willing to sacrifice more defense, I would even consider dropping Atziri boots for Bubonic Plague for 2 more sockets, more damage, and some cool walking corpse explosions.

What perfect wand is better the Ele pen one or the 38 crit multi/chance wand.

Seriously? i was thinking for long term upgrade how would the mirror quality wands not outshine piscators with similar jewels?

@Toma_Hawk / Wander dudes,

I've been following the guide and been playing this build as my league starter. Love the build and how one can clear packs etc. It's been hard as a starter thus far and generating currency to support the build hasn't been one of my forte's. Majority of the items is on loan and reaching out on advice on how I can possibly generate better / more currency and also to review my current tree, which nodes next and ofcourse the items I should be focussing on next. I hear of people doing over 1m dps...not sure how that is even possible, but apparently so :).

So any help and guidance on where to from here would be much appreciated. IGN (WundaKritz).

Thank you again
