Finally got the guardians down as a pathfinder for my atlas. Anyone have any recommendations about upgrades or different flask setups before I try shaper? DPS feels pretty good but I'm concerned about running out of steam. My jewels definitely suck and are on the short list of things to replace.

Character is supremePINEAPPLE, should be visible. Here is the amulet I've been using for bosses.

Belt shouldn't be hard to upgrade, look for T2+ WED, life, res OR flask mods. You NEED to run Conqueror's Potency as Pathfinder, it gives you an extra projectile from your Dying Sun. Swap your life flask for Atziri's Promise for Shaper. Your wand is not great. Attack speed on wands are king, imbued base is god. If you have the currency, an imbued wand with T1 light/fire damage, multimodded would be a decent upgrade. Since you're using Atziri's Step, look for flat lightning damage enchant, only costs ~120c in HSC atm.

Oh crap, I forgot to put potency back in after switching back and forth between pathfinder and raider. Just grabbed the boots too. A new wand is definitely on the upgrade list but I got that one for cheap and it's quite a bit better than pisc in PoB so it'll have to do for now. Thanks a bunch for the recommendations!

Really loving this build, currently level 92. Any suggestions on the next upgrade after dying sun? Im getting a couple of decent opals?

With my current gear I am at 93% hit chance, is the last 2% for 95% really worth it?

thats fully buffed right? even then where the hell are you getting 93% from you dont even have crit rings :O

i assume just because this wand gives me more tool tip dps (about 6k more) than piscators its not actually better right?

Hit chance yes. I think you might think I was reffering to crit chance? :P

So I'm running a PF wander, but a slightly different version with a bit of Vaal Power Siphon going on. I put this x2 on my 6L QotF, Barrage is only on a 4Link +3.5% crit chance gloves. I'd figure the dps would be big enough to melt tier 11 bosse, but I struggle with tier 5 bosses even. Can someone take a look at my tree and gear and help me figure it out? I could also try and put the barrage on the 6L and somehow fit the VPS on the other gearpieces if that is needed. The amulet is only to run piscators, as soon as i get another wand I'll put in biscos.

Get the attacks vessel of the Vinktar

actually, in good min-maxed setups, obscuratis + yriel gives as much as dps that rat's nest gives.

Whats the general stance on Hysteria-crafted gripped gloves instead of Thunderfist ?
Any particular reason why those are not a part of the guide?

KB on a 4L with hysteria affix should be more than enough dps for general clear, and rare stats should facilitate the usage of one more unique.
