Why crit chance ? Crit multi gives more damage.

That was first successfull try to get both penetration and arrow. You know how to craft, right? You take 3-4 bases and craft first till you get something decent, then second in a hope to get better result, but if not - you still have first one. And so on till you run out of money or enthusiasm. And then you sell all less successful attempts to return all spent money while having best one for yourself o)
But I've changed my mind and got penetration on boots and got full damage + life quiver for now, sold that pen+arrow quiver for 40 chaos - +10 chaos as result of crafting o)
Edit: I was wondering why 2x combat focus and AoF. Evidently GGG damage calculations are completely easy-to-understand and totally logical and even though you're only doing 1 damage type at a time, you can actually use the calculations from all 3 damage types for conversion purposes. Completely understandable and logical.

Hi,

would you be so nice and could look over my gear.
What could be improved, I have 20-30 ex available.
Unfortunately, I only have 5500 life, which is sometimes not enough.

What can I do? I don't want to lose a lot of Dmg.

I am very happy with my self-made amulet.

Thank you so much

Wow, that's pretty high end gear you have. Don't know if anything can be added, but do you really need that many health potions? May be Jade or Quartz flask with +95-100% increased evasion rating would give more survivability than third life flask?
And may be you should change one of others to Blood of the Karui flask. It restores 3600 over 2.6 seconds + gives full health at the end of regen effect (I have one). I've always played with one BotK flask and 4 utility. My current setup (bonuses are mixed)

Hi, your gear is really good! And congrats on your amulet!


At this point of time, it's more of min maxing your gear.

Suggestions

Spoiler
These are my suggestions, not in any specific order, more of when you see an item that is close to the description, just get it.


1. I loaded your character into POB and didn't see any Jewel socketed into the Cluster Jewel. An ideal jewel for our build is

Spoiler
Ideal Rare Jewel

2 Prefix from below

- (14–16)% increased Damage with Bows
- (14–16)% increased Fire Damage
- (15–18)% to Critical Strike Multiplier with Fire Skills
- (15–18)% to Critical Strike Multiplier with Cold Skills
- (15–18)% to Critical Strike Multiplier with Lightning Skills
- (12–16)% increased Totem Damage
- (Defensive option) (5–7)% increased maximum Life


2 Suffix from below

- (3–5)% increased Attack Speed
- (2–4)% increased Attack and Cast Speed
- (12–15)% to Critical Strike Multiplier with Elemental Skills
- (9–12)% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier
- (10–12)% increased Projectile Damage


With 4 affixes from above, these jewels gives a big DPS boost, get them when you can to put into your Cluster Jewel's Jewel socket. Highest DPS will be a mix of Crit Multiplier + Attack Speed.


2. Keep a lookout for Double Corrupted Frostferno with 2 of the below implicits

+2 Fire
+2 Projectile
+2 Cold or Lightning or AOE(These gives same DPS)

These will go to 40-80ex later in the league. If you can find a cheap one, buy them now.


3. Corrupted Quill Rain with 18% Increased Critical Strike Implicit.

Example


This Increased Critical Chance is different from those we get from other sources like Passive Tree and Equipment Affix. It is applied to the base Crit of the Bow which in turn, is then multiplied with the Increased Critical Strike we get from other sources, which means, everyone's favourite Big DPS gains :)


4. I see that you don't have piercing anywhere, look for a good rare boot(MoveSpeed, Resist, Life etc) with "Projectile Pierce 2 Additional Target". That will help a lot in map clearing and even more when doing Legion Monoliths.


5. Look for a Rare Quiver with

- T1 Crit Multi(35%+)
- T1 Life(90+)
- T2 Elemental Damage with Attacks(37%+) *T1 might not be so common since need Item level 86

Ideally with Penetrating(+1 Pierce)/Spike Point(Crit Chance) as the quiver base with an Open Suffix to craft 12% Attack Speed to it.


6. Look for a Rare Glove with

- T1 Attack Speed(14%+) or Essence T1 Attack Speed(17%+)
- T1 Accuracy(481+)
- High Life roll(70+) or we can craft Life if it has an empty prefix.

It will be amazing if you can find the above rolled on a Gripped Glove base :)

If we are dead, we can't do damage(and loses exp). It's ok to sacrifice a little in damage to ensure we stay alive and can always deal our damage :)

I would recommend you take away the 3 points at Lava Lash for now and put them into the 4-5% Life Passive at Bloodless, Golem's Blood, Barbarism


These will be my suggestions for you :)


I see that you are using the old Gem Setup with War Banner, that setup has changed, you can refer to "04 Possible Gem Setup" and look at the details inside "Single Curse Option". There's also a new "Additional DPS Option" which we uses Vaal Haste.

Love this build, didn't expect ballistas to be this fun.


This is my own twist on it (does it make sense? Don't care, doing it for fun, and Im a lazy boy, I can play with one hand like that :P)


I invested few points for the "mana reserved" nodes on top left and I will make an anoint when i farm enought to buy gold oils to get 1 more node so i can level up precision aura a bit. Im using this for that additional anoint.


Basically, have all the things I need, just farming to get better versions of them. Don't mind the gems, trying some things.


I only have 4k HP, right now trying to fix this, investing new points into HP nodes, still lvl 85.

This build is absolutely a beast!!!

I have never played something so strong, killed kitava at level 69 and got straight to tier 16 map and demolished everything deathless with 2.5 exalted invested.

This build made the game ridiculously easy, its completely broken.

What was the best enhancement for glove?

Best one is probably any "of Light" which gives us 6% Life regen per second for 5 seconds when we take a critical strike.
