Have you read the writeup at Page 173?

Hi,
I reached level 90 recently and killed Sirus (after dying 4 times in last phase there I had to run a bit adjusted flask setup than I have now) with it. Gonna go for Elder, Shaper and rest of that crap now, never did it before, cause I had like 3 years break from PoE, so that's gonna be fun. I don't have enough passive skill points atm, so using 1 big cluster and 3 mediums (10 totems total), I'm thinking of getting 11th totem around level 95-96.
Can someone look and check what can I improve in my gear? I know my chaos resist could be better, but in all fairness chaos damage was not a problem so far, at least not noticeable. Also my Rain of Splinters isn't as optimal as it could be, but I just gave up after ppl having them out for trade and not responding for two hours so I bought the imperfect one. Still I feel like my dps is far off from place where it's supposed to be.

The Rain of Splinter 1% Reduced Totem Damage is a very small DPS improvement so 31% is fine as is.


Here will be the bigger changes to DPS not factoring in cost:

Spoiler
1. Get Corrupted Quill Rain with "18% Increased Critical Strike Implicit" This should be the cheapest option to get a DPS increase compared to the ones below.


2. Double Corrupted Frostferno with 2 of the below implicit

- +2 to Level of Socketed Fire Gems (Best DPS)
- +2 to Level of Socketed Projectile Gems (2nd Best DPS)
- +2 to Level of Socketed Cold/Lightning/AoE Gems


3. Corrupted Kaom's Heart with "%Increased Damage" implicit


4. Converting to the Double Curse Setup. Please refer to "04 Possible Gem Setup" on my writeup at Page 173 for the Gem setup.


5. The below 2 need to be done together to get the maximum DPS increase. No point doing just 1 of them:

5A. Buy/Craft a +1 Dex Skill and +1 Fire Skill Amulet

Example

5B. Replace all your Base Jewels with Crit Multiplier ones, the more the better.

Example



6. Lastly will be to get as much resist as we can on the boots so we require less Resist from the Rings and can go with more DPS affix on it, possibly converting 1 Ring to a full DPS one.

Boot Example


DPS Ring Example


These would be my suggestions.

hello Vei

great writeup, working on accumulating most of the gear before switching over to give this a try. been checking the trade site for a quill rain with the corrupted mod for + to crit hit chances and have never seen one in either standard or delirium league. can they still get that mod? if so, must be very, very rare and would probably be out of my price range.

any alternate mods to look for?

thank you

Hi Thanks!

Yes, the Critical Strike Chance mod is still in Standard and Delirium. I searched and there are 4 online currently. 1 is up at 1 Ex which is a bit costly. Usually if you wait for 1 to pop up people will sell around XX chaos.

Might it be you didn't indicate "implicit" Critical Strike Chance in your search?

Anyway here is a search link you can use :)

Hope that helps

Hello guys, could you clarify something about this build? As i see ballista totem support only work with elemental hit equipped on the helmet as active skill, right? Ballista totem attacks are not affected with any gem we have in our bow. So how then you apply curses on mobs? Throught manual attack? But what a point of that? Do you only use curses on bosses? Because i dont see a point of using them on small mobs that supposed to be one shot.

Also, why war banner and flesh and stone auras are used? As far as i see they provide additional physical damage for targets, and this build dont have physical damage. Are they used only for debuffs?

And last thing, if some gems installed in bow do affect ballista totem support attacks, what are this gems?

Hi and sure, please see the answers below to your questions

In General, you can assume the following(Might have a few exceptions)

Offensive stuff that affects us affects our totems

Example
Precision Gem provides us with Offensive Capability, so it affects our totems. I can put the gem in my glove/boots/bow, it doesn't matter

I am sure you can see that this also works for Blood Rage Gem which is another Offensive Gem.

On our Bows

Frenzy is linked to
- Greater Multiple Projectiles
- Curse on Hit
- Flammability

We uses Frenzy on the enemy, which shoots 5 Projectiles through Greater Multiple Projectiles and when it hits the enemy, Curses them through Curse on Hit Gem with Flammability.

It depends, usually we only Curse the bosses and rares But if you have played a Map with 5 Delirium Orbs, those normal mobs in there are almost as tough as rare mobs on Maps without any Delirium Orbs so...

I see that you have read "02 DPS In Metamorph" and maybe not "04 Possible Gem Setup" in my writeup. These gems are no longer used.

Just to answer your question,

- Flesh and Stone - This Gem has 2 Stance, we uses the Sand Stance, which let us "take (9-11)% less Damage from Attacks from Enemies that aren't nearby while in Sand Stance"

- War Banner was used for the % Increased Accuracy.

The answer above on "Offensive Stuff" should be sufficient to answer this question :)
