Hello, please tell me why I have only 3 totems?

Equip your quiver, it's currently in your offhand set

With my items i have 380k dps per totem. I've created in path of building frostferno with +4 lvl corrupt and kaom with 45 increased damage, as a result it shows me 540k dps per totem with your configurations. I'd like to know where my 2mil dps as you've shown in 1st topic.

I've loaded you PoB items into my tree and got the difference in dps in 2 times. 540k vs 1.1mil.

I dont feel this notes:



The result of 20 ex build is 300k dps per totem.
To get 4 lvl frostferno = 100 ex;
kaom 45 increased damage = 15 ex;
yoke usual = 2.5ex;
yoke with +1 curse = uhh, none on poe.trade (150ex, 200ex?)

and all this stuff for what?

p.s. i've forgot about in game dps on skill its 50k (no auras) against yours 190k.

Ok, I'm approaching endgame build. Tried Uber atziri first time last night and did it deathless, it was so easy I thought it was regular atziri. First league I've killed uber elder myself and each boss phase lasts about 5 seconds and it would've been deathless as well if I was better at dodging crap. Everything else including uber elder guardians are pretty much deathless.
Only map that is semi impossible is hall of the grandmaster which depending on rng which boss you get, I have yet to complete it.
Fyi, Xoph is working much better than yoke, the extra hp saved me a lot of times.

Here is my pastebin/gear for those doubting dps.

Is anybody playing this build on HC? I read quite a lot about being squishy etc. - i will give it a try I guess with the goal to kill Uber Atziri

Can you record the video of your "5 sec per phase uber elder", please. Or just explain why we have same numbers, but great difference in gameplay experience. I've downloaded your character in PoB to compare with mine. Your dps was higher, when i switched my Frostferno to +4 lvl Frostferno, as a result, i got the SAME DPS. Funny fact, i kill shaper for ages and you kill uber elder "5 sec per phase". But, even with +4 Frostferno i can't hit author's numbers. lol.

p.s. my pob: https://pastebin.com/PgBPCL34
cause i've already sold out this "insane dps" character

I'm very new to the game and this looks fun so i started it.

One part has me confused, it looks like the Jewels say 40str and 40int in the radius to work, but I don't see both stats in the radius, it looks like only one stat is in the radius....am I missing something that is making those jewels work in those slots?

I dont want to be negative, however I have to get this off my chest - This build is not budget friendly and its not even mid range affordable. The gear you need to get anywhere near the dps listed in the first post is just not feasible without luck and/or free stuff or even dodgey stuff.

I dont even have "good" gear and it has already cost me 10ex without the amulet. Not complaining as we all made the choice to go this build, more or less echoing what @Xigari has said. You can get higher dps for so bloody cheap with an Ancestral Warchief build.

Edit: and it would effing suprise me if i was doing something wrong, so please dont get me wrong.

In his defense, he did say it is budget friendly to start since the most expensive core item you would need is Kaom's which is 2 ex, frostferno is 40c, chin sol 40c, non point blank quiver is 2c, and the rest around 2 ex and you can clear up to t15 comfortably.

You pay for high end gear for qol when bossing/map clearing.

I will try to record my boss kills, I have never recorded before so I'll try to look up a way to do so.

how does this compare to the meta arc totem build? Survivability/cost/damage?

Hi guys,

in the FAQ section you get an idea of a budget friendly version ("What does it cost to get started").

Nowhere is stated that you reach the top DPS on a small budget, it just says, budget friendly to get "the build running". And I absolutely stand to my statement.

Mandatory items for the build:
1) Frostferno (currerntly 15c)
2) Skirmish (non-corrupted 1c)
3) both Combat Focus jewels (total 4c)
4) Chin Sol (as a 5-link 25c // non linked 2c)
5) Rain of Splinter jewel (3c)

And some other gear for the small moneys:
7) belly of the beast (instead of kaom´s heart) for a solid life pool (10c)
8) useful gripped gloves or 1 socketed tomsfist (10c)
9) get a rare amulet with life and WED (instead of yoke or xoph) (10c)
10) CRAFT YOUR OTHER STUFF on tiny budget -> learn to craft belts and rings with fossils, otherwise get 2x opal rings and a stygian vise with a bit WED, life, resists (total 50c)
11) flask setup (20c) or craft your own flasks
12) if you don´t have enough gcp to get quality on ur gems, buy a corrupted 20/20 ele hit (2c)

-----===== sum up =====-----
With about 135c (prices at current stage of the league) for the listed items above you will defenitly kill the shaper. You won´t kill shaper within seconds per phase on that budget, I never promoted that.

In my opinion I didn´t promise any false, when I said "a budget-friendly build to get started".
To be clear, "to get started" or "to get the build running" doesn´t mean you can brain afk uberelder with none of the recommended gear.

Last league I started farming uberelder (and according to mapwatch.io I did 371 uberelder with this build in delve league) with 5.5k life, about 60k mouseover dps, with yoke and the only corruption I had was the "point blank" skirmish quiver. I had nothing to complain about.
The further the league went on, the better my gear got.
And with decent gear (not even close to really great gear) everything content-wise is pretty easy & pretty fast. The majority of ppl experiancing this build the first time feel the same.

PoE brings uncountable options of making some currency to invest in decent gear, like crafting for profit, grinding fossils, div cards or special high value items, running labs and so on and so on. RNG helps a bit, but if you aren´t familiar with all the possible ways to make a few ex per evening, it isn´t the fault of the build, when you feel you can´t get to the very endgame items to reach the high dps numbers.

Right now I´m sitting on 191k mouseover dps on elemental hit (I linked a screenshot & some of my current gear on a previous page) with haste and flammability-blasphemy aura (this is my current setup).

The actual damage phase on elder and shaper during uberelder fight currently lasts only a few seconds (on my current gear). To be specific on that fact: they take 25% damage each in every phase and then they start their "casting routines" and enter both a phase where they don´t take damage (you´ll notice the purple shield on shaper and the white shield on elder). These routines are the only things that stretch the duration of the fight. In the phases where they don´t take damage, just kill spawned monsters to refill your flasks and move in circles to don´t get hit and evade attacks. Once you get used to the mechanics, it is done on such an ease.

I didn´t raise wrong expectations with this guide in any ways.
Everyday when I log in, new guys text me and thank me for the guide because they´ve accomplished stuff they didn´t get done before or have just fun playing the build.

When some of you don´t enjoy this build, it´s ok. Everyone likes a different playstyle. But there is nothing wrong with the build.
Feel free to customize it in every way that suits you, main thing is you guys just have fun with it (swap some tree notes from here to there around the core-tree or use some other items). I just wanted to share a funny and absolutely capable build for every single bit of content in the game and explain every choice I made.

I promoted / promised a fast clear speed / mapping speed (half of the monsters die offscreen on maps - near to an ele wander with kinetic blast) and a great capability on endgame bosses (the average uberelder fight takes less than 3.5 minutes - like a GC miner) and solid delve potential (see my video on delve depth 600+), when I remember correctly. I very much think that all these promises are proofed. It just works like intended...

Cheers
