I just got a Dying Sun from Shaper and I'm wondering if using it and swapping GMP for Vile Toxins might be worthwile. I'm playing the Volkuur's version, charactername is AssassinateMahFPS if you wanna take a look.

I wouldn't consider swapping it until you also have the helmet enchantment (or lag too much).
Dying Sun adds 20% extra projectiles to you so it's a decent option. Personally I'd sell it to buy other gear.

Also with the Volkur's guide what's the best way to scale our damage?

Physical/Fire/Poison damage? What about Chaos Damage?

Depends on where you get it.

On claws you'll want high attack speed and then the best DPS of combined phys/fire/chaos possible.
Physical/chaos will end up with the highest rolls on weapons.

On other items (i.e. jewels or rings), the best flat damage source is fire damage.

Cherrubim's still worth it or should i try to get a Loreweave?
Im running volkurs.

Just link this today

Hi !

Very nice build, even tho poison can sometime be frustating (i killed so many bosses after i died ><)

I recently bought this claw and was wondering what i should craft, %phys or as?


Otherwise, is my character ready for stuff like uber-elder? (MoltenScorp on my profile), i'm just lacking the 6L loreweave but no luck so far...)

I don't think there's suffix room for attack speed? But if there is it is easily the best option. Attack speed is huge.

Loreweave is better, I'd sell the Cherrubim's or keep it until you get a LW.

As mentioned, Attack Speed is extremely important.
I think you can't craft it anymore outside of a lucky Annul, so I'd probably make a new one.

You should be able to do anything except Uber Elder. For that fight I highly recommend you to wear at least both Loreweave and Kaom's Roots. (check my 3.4 character).
It's very rough (and expensive) if it's your first time.

Just crafted this beauty after a few attempts

If you don't have loreweave, you can run purity of ice. You'll lose a little damage from dropping HoA (if your poison chance is good) or anger, but not a big deal. Also makes it a little easier to fix resists for kaom's roots.

Agreed on being rough for a first timer. The fight is significantly harder for melee characters than for ranged (unless you're so tanky you can eat the mechanics). Totem characters have it the easiest (totems with good screen coverage, like GC or arc).

Which one is best for boss killing? Fenumus' Weave or Volkuur's Guidance?

I'm dumb and still can't tell if this is better than wasp nest. Says average dps is lower but poison DPS is much higher with this. I don't have any other curses running so despair would apply.

Depends on the boss & your gear.
With good gear Volkuur's is better for most fights.

It's worse, there are other ways to get Despair so don't see it as anything other than QoL.
