[3.4] ELE CLAW INQUISITOR | Farm Shaper on 3Link! + UberElder, UberAtziri | very Budget friendly!

Hey Guys,

Can you please critique my build. For some reason my Increased AOE/Conc Effect does 0 damage... (when i switch them, my damage stays the same... so idk what's going on there...)

Anyway, here is my build posted below.



Problems; super squish.

Thanks,
Adam.

Is there a way to sneak in Frost Blades or something into this build somehow for better clear?

If you need to do that, you arent paying attention to the gem swapping or something..
The clear speed on this build is nuts, I can do 2 minute T15 maps and stuff with not all that much currency put into it..

If you are looking for pure map speed, consider a lightpoacher with a +3 molten strike projectiles enchant. its a pretty massive boost in clear speed.. but even without it I am very happy with the speed of this char, its only slightly slower than my 9 frenzy char QotF build.

The helm enchant is pretty big for clear speed if you dont have it already

How much life do you have?
I found a carnage heart to be a nice addition. I found I was doing plenty of damage without any rare neck but I felt like I was getting low too much. Using a carnage heart seems to have changed that completely. I think im going to make it a goal to try to get a +1 curse carnage heart for this build.

4858. can you tell me why my gems arent working?

AOE support gems affect only magma balls since melee hit of molten strike do not have 'AOE' tag. And tooltip shows the damage of melee hit.

Hey nice build, after playing 4 chars that I wasn't a fan of the build intended I tried this one out in hopes Ill just finish out the league farming end game bosses (uber at/shaper). Currently @ Lvl 80 with this gear stacked:



Problem is, how do I get to 7k HP, I'm only sitting at 4.3k at the moment... Also how do I run HoT and HoI with enfeeble? Definately not much mana build up on this to sustain all 3 and still be able to keep up mana for MS. Also read on here about watchers eye, is it worth the investment or Could I make do without it? Would like some feedback on my gear, it was pretty expensive to say the least.

Winter Spirit is only 20% conversion, so you still need to convert another 20% (Molten is 60%). For a 4 point investement (includint the traveling node) this isnt really worth it. An Alternative would be Hrimburn Gloves. Those arent actually too bad, but given the opportunity of double Abyss jewel Tombfists its not really so good.

Hrm? Winter spirit is 20%, but the node right before it is also 20%, for a total of 40%. You do get 100% conversion that way. At 4 points it is definitely more expensive than doing it with a jewel, but on the cheap it seems a decent option. I'd certainly consider that before I'd consider dropping tombfist - even one socket tombfist, just 'cause of that sexy intimidate.

For 3 points (vaal pact tree), it is the same investment as a jewel, though the life on watcher's eye is probably better than some cold damage from winter spirit.

holy moly I never saw the other 20% of the node before. I did experiment with that for alot of other builds and always wondered where those 20% came from.

this makes it considerable. the 4 points is still quite a bit though

With the VP tree its only three points :)

My point is the following: People will limit themselves if they only watch for claws with high ele dps. That might get very expensive (because of this awesome build guide :)). On the other hand they can also look up hybrid or even physical only claws. If winter spirit is worth its investment is best calculated by POB. But it could be a temporary solution to the watchers eye if someone is able to grab a claw with high PDPS

Starkonja + 100 life
Amulet + 80 life
Diamond ring + 70 life
Opal ring + 30 life
Boots + 40 life
Belt + 40 life (abyssal jewel)

Profile isn't public, can't see your jewels, but guessing not awesome on life there either.

Another 10 levels will of course bring up your life also.

Enlighten level 3+. Your enlighten is level 1, it does nothing. Just drop HoT, it is not at all important. Or buy a level 3 enlighten if you want, but I personally just run without it (free up some sockets 'cause I use 2 socket tombfist).

What watcher's eye would you use? You are using a (terrible) ele claw, not a physical one, so you don't need the wrath phys to light one.

Speaking of your terrible claw, upgrade that pronto. It is slow, and has no crit. On almost every page of this 291 page thread is somebody explaining how to correctly prioritize stats on claws. I suppose page 291's post doing so will be this one:

You want a fast claw. Preferably 2.0 speed, but 1.9 is okay if you want the mana on hit from a gemini (not really worth IMHO, but for people who reserve almost all their mana, maybe it is). You want base crit at least 7.5% but preferably 8%. 7.5% is about what you get if you vagan craft crit.

Edps is a distant third in priorities. The attack speed and crit on your claw are force multipliers. They increase the damage from all of your sources of ele damage, not just on the claw, but from added lightning, from heralds, from jewelry, from abyss jewels, from vinktar...

Again: Attacks speed > crit >> edps

I don't know what your budget is, but here's a search for a cheap claw:
http://poe.trade/search/onariniosikesi

And here's a result:


It has suffix room to craft crit, which will put it at ~7.5% crit.

Tweak the search values up or down to suit your budget, but even that 15c claw is way better than yours.

Your problems are a result of not reading the guide carefully.

Mana with three auras up can only be sustained by an enlighten gem with at least level 3. Yours is level 1 and thus gives you nothing.

Not using a belt with a stygian base is just a bad decision in abyss league. Your amulet and one ring are missing life rolls completely. Your claw lacks crit and attack speed, the most important stats a claw can give you.

Hey i just returned to the game and i'm absolutely loving this build!

I was hoping to get some better informed opinions on what i should work on upgrading (i have 25 ex to spare)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
