unspeakable gifts sounds good for clearing and looks the most expensive when paired with wicked pall + 2 jewel sockets

Well someone tried this few weeks ago and he seemed disappointed, I'll quote this here it's on page #179.

I tried the explody node and it doesn't seem like it's a noticeable enough improvement while mapping to justify taking it over another node. Proc rate is kinda low at 10% and the aoe is fairly small so it won't pop entire packs.

Sitting at 5k HP and 2k ES.

Any suggestion what to improve next?
Looking at poe.ninja other people have 3-4 times my Damage.

I think, i am finished with gearing. I went full cluster jewel and in my opinion cluster jewels are worth it. I mixed this build and hasunics build, so i have CA and TR. Here my gear:




You get insane attack speed and skill duration from the jewels and even bosses in simulacrum wave 20 do not live long.

Feel free to play in my PoB around:

I also looked into different TR/CA builds on poe.ninja.
But there will be alot poe.ninja hero builds doing much TR dot dps, but less damage overall.

My damage increased quite alot with:
- high increased skill duration

- sufficient increased Area of effect for pod overlap (this one is hard to get the right values, just spam TR in your Hideout and visually check if the pods overlap. it also changes with number of TR arrows.)

- 3.x attack rate

- no mana problems spamming TR (total mana cost on rings and clarity watchers eye.

crafted this sweet belt.

gonna multimod now.
Damage and surv. improved

Finally got a deathless sirus a8, fight is getting really easy and got a legion sword.

There's a lot of POB warrior bullshittery going on always when you check top people on poe ninja dps wise, on any spec not just this.

Just a few things when I imported top guy:
- conc effect (it's explained in the guide why this is a POB warrior thing and in game it actually works in your disfavour)
- not speccing escape artist, going swift killer and forgoing the 2k ES you have for having basically none, I don't have to tell you this will impact your survivability and QoL (no stun immunity? people really like that?)
- carcass jack, this again is an offensive pick, you'll be more squishy if you swapped your chest for this
- checked buffs (POB automatically applies all buffs, it's POB problem not player problem), vaal haste = it's good, but it won't be always up, bloodrage = ok, gives you attack speed but do you wanna deal with the degen?, flesh & stone defaults to blood stance, it shouldn't, everyone uses stone for the damage reduction, flame golem = might be dead sometimes, frenzy charges = you will only have them on kill from swift killer / bloodrage not on boss
- people who MULTIMOD the quiver to give "chaos damage to attacks" are next gen POB warriors, this does NOTHING for pods, only for initial hit / explosion thing, which nobody really cares about

Remember your mirage archer won't count in POB, you have to manually calculate its impact. Attack speed is again not counted in dot dps only hit dps, you'd have to account for it separately, but the other guy's attack speed is inflated by default due to POB counting vaal haste / bloodrage.

You're also 6 levels below him and your awakened gems aren't maxed yet.

But the biggest difference is you have 2k ES, same life, and stun immunity, while he just pumped all the extra points into increased damage / jewel sockets with increased damage. The question is do you want a more all-rounder character or pure glass cannon. His dodge looks great on paper but again this is due to vaal grace which won't be always up.

The difference in reality isn't 3-4 times more like 0.7 times and mostly from the fact he stacked much more increased damage while having the same life % and no ES. Also I expect your clear speed to be better with mirage archer over conc effect.

P.S. I imported your char, filled the cluster jewels, but I can't find where are your 2 last points and you're not capped on lightning resist, the cluster only gives you fire & chaos resists, what am I missing?

What do we think about Awakened Increased Area of Effect insted of Mirage Archer?

Accidental double post.

i'm pondering whats is best, if keep Culling strike/Blink arrow setup with queen of the forest or going with 6L Queen of the forest with Caustic Arrow setup.

Tips?
