Yeah I've farmed about 2 mirrors worth of drops so far in the last few days and I haven't even been pushing as hard as I probably should. It looks like many of the commodities have tanked in price, so the big money is mostly in the form of desirable Awakened gems now.

If I was considering mirror options for the bow build, would something like Tempest Thunder be the clear first thing to mirror? Or would you recommend waiting to see if anything new appears in the coming days? I don't imagine something obviously better being created unless I'm missing something about the new mods. Also it looks like the item has changed owners?

I'll pm you in private to discuss it :P

Ok I've been levelling a bit and here are my experiences so far with the wander:

Transitioning into wand early (around act 5) is doable, but a bit of a struggle. I thought with some twink gear and the scaling effect from PP, that it would perform quite well, but KB damage is really crappy, even on a 6L. If you are going to switch to wanding earlier than maps, it's probably better to use power siphon to clear as it works a lot better than KB.

Currently level 87. I am finding it hard to level - I clear maps fine (t14/15, trying to work on my atlas) but sometimes get 1-shot by a boss. Also metamorphs can often 1-shot, so a couple of bs deaths on a high tier map and it removes all your xp. Fairly annoying league to level, you really need to focus on safe xp grinding this league if you want to progress (skip metamorphs, go delving, do lower level maps etc).

I have 4.8k HP right now. Still need to get a good shaper ring, switch to a mark of the elder, get flasks, corrupted blood jewel, watcher's eye, so on. Otherwise my gear is slowly coming together.

Hello there. What do you think about this ring? Can it be better than mark of elder + shaper ring?

I'm wondering what you would recommend as my next upgrades to go for for the wander variant. I'm at lvl 91 with about 5.4k life at the moment. here's my current setup.



I'm not sure that Mark of the Elder would be much an upgrade for me considering how good that Opal ring is.

Been playing this for a bit over a week now and it feels amazing.

A8 Awakener is very doable deathless, most bosses and metamorphs just die. But with the overbuffed everything dying is.. part of the experience.

Pushing close to 95 now, not dying is definitly doable by playing it safe (mostly on metamorphs) but I am too greedy and try to 1-tap them before any minions spawn.

I feel too afraid tho to run without a life-flask, even if I'd get a corrupting jewel



My gear feels really solid, can do some improvements here and there, had to give up some DPS in the amulet slot to get an affordable pair of tailwind boots. Should probably get another shaper-ring with assassin's mark for bossng. and upgrading the belt should be somewhat affordable.

Not really looking for anything, just wanted to say thank you to OP for an amazing build.

Hey guys,

I want to give an update on the int stacking wander. Was able to hit 600 delve last night, so I am on my way to finish 40/40 on this char. Been farming A8 t16s and Awakener and put ~150+ex into my gear so far. Very happy with ES on hit watchers and its ability to tank delve damage.

Currrently sitting at 10.3k es and 10.6 mil shaper dps with just 3 dps flasks (I like the stun immunity and blind on the stibnite).
Current pob: https://pastebin.com/mbd3P3Nf

Current gear:


I transitioned to this build from Phys wander for more survivability, so if you dont want to transition to bows, int stacking is a possibility.
For those interested in transitioning, you can see my starting int stacking gear on page 112.

That opal is very nice and provides decent QOL, but overall for damage Mark of the Elder will be better by a good amount. I think the best option would be to craft a ring using Awakener's Orb so it has both elder + shaper influence. This paired with Mark of the Elder will enable you to have good damage + stun immunity.

There's still a lot of upgrades you can get; most important is probably flat cold enchant on boots, WED on belt, corruption on gloves, PS +2 enchant. I'd suggest getting a high attack speed roll on your Poet's even if you arent considering corrupted options.

Yes it can; the highest DPS option is 2x of those rings. The only problem is that those rings lack life rolls which is very important this league given how rippy everything is. Also if you use awakener's orb to double influence your shaper ring w/ elder, you can gain stun immunity as well from Mark of the Elder.

Very nice; yeah lvling is tough as a wander so I think the best route is still Toxic Rain atm.

5% double damage, 20% phys, 10% intimidate on timeless jewel

glad you enjoyed the build :) that's a very nice setup you have there.

Made a pretty nutty wand that I think replaces poets. Feel free to drop it into POB to double check.




And for the Int scaling variant I've made:

Switched for the Bow version of the build. Clearspeed became a lot, a lot better. But the Barrage dps feels just like the Power Siphon dps I had, or even less. PS has 2(I havent had +2ps enchant, just +15% dmg) more projectiles which really make difference in comparison to Barrage with its 8 proj so Voidshot can only make it equal or almost equal.

Is there any way I can boost my single target dps?

Very satisfied with my gear so far, but unsure what the next upgrade should be.

The "expensive" PoB you have listen somehow grants you a few more MILLIONS of dps

Do you think I should go for a Frenzy Charge ring next?
