My suggestion would be buy rank3 corrupted empower which is usually very cheap, and then if you want to level your own, buy lvl 1 uncorrupted one and level that in weapon swap. Slotting rank 1 empower in your main link is gonna take a lot of time to level meanwhile you'll be losing dps. I'd probably also use swift affliction over damage on full life / efficacy, it's easier to counter the reduced skill duration nowadays esp. with clusters, meanwhile it provides better damage increase up front. Damage on full life is good on paper but any person that says they die a lot and feel squishy probably doesn't get much benefit out of it. Also you shouldn't ditch wither totem, you should always use it for bosses. @Ephraizer " BlackPearlicious wrote: Hi, does %Increased Damage affects our DPS? It should. It increases all damage. What works: increased damage increased damage over time increased chaos damage increased projectile damage increased damage while wielding a bow increased area damage What doesn't work: increased attack damage increased projectile attack damage increased damage with bows increased physical damage increased spell damage The bolded parts are the ones that are most confusing because they look similar, but they aren't the same. Also adds x to y (sometype of) damage to attacks only works for the hit, not for the pod. It will do very little. Keep that in mind if buying jewels. Best damage mod on abyssal jewel is "increased damage over time while wielding a two handed weapon", not "adds x to y chaos damage to attacks", the second one is for poison builds mostly. Thanks guys for the sweet replies, helps alot. I need help to upgrade my build, please offer some advice i have 10 exalts as budget. https://pastebin.com/fqdzx8Ca I can't open your pastebin on pob Are you fine with your mana ? Because you only have 1 crafted non channeling skills mana cast (maybe you also have the watcher's eye, but even with that it's hard imo) You can buy an amulet with at least "+1 level to all chaos skills gems" and chaos damage You can buy a dying sun ruby flask You can buy a enlighten lvl 4, so you can use malevolence, discipline and flesh and stone at the same time You also can buy or craft a better bow with +1 lvl of socketed gems, +XX% to damage over time multiplier, XX% increased AS, can have up to 3 crfated modifiers, +2 level of socketed supports gems and +XX% to chaos damage over time multiplier. But it's quite expensive (well, depending of what you call expensive of course)	Posted by Yunalescaaa on May 14, 2020, 10:44:59 AM Quote this Post
@BlackPearlicious Upgrade that amulet. Get str elsewhere if you have to, or lower your CWDT, but that amulet all it has is a lot of str (despite not even being amber base) and t2 chaos dot, other rolls are kinda underwhelming, it has no life, no bonus to gems (chaos / dexterity). Also use blessed orbs on rings and augment orbs on flasks. Waste not to. For 10ex I'd do what Yunalesca suggested, get a better bow. It costs around 7-8 ex to make one with just 1 good suffix (either attack speed or dot multi).	Posted by Viktranka on May 14, 2020, 1:09:28 PM Quote this Post
Thanks guys for the advice, my shaper dps went up by half a mil! :)	Posted by BlackPearlicious on May 14, 2020, 9:57:01 PM Quote this Post
Im on xbox and dont have access to a pc atm bo idea what my damage is etc but i think alot of my crafted gear may be giving me a huge dps boost. Would love for some one on pc to have a look at my setup and run some figures. And some feed back	Posted by Do9Meat86 on May 15, 2020, 12:54:56 AM Quote this Post
So I just tried out the DPS formula, and it gave me around 500k dps. Is there something terribly wrong with my gear? Even the budget 10c 5-link starter bow apparently does 1.2m dps. Ive dropped about 1-2ex on my build but its not even half that. Biggest issue I found was my TR only deals 20,160 chaos DPS, while the sample calculations show 82k. Why is that? Another concern is mana, even with both -manacost rings i still run out occasionally.	Posted by 3andr3w33 on May 15, 2020, 10:32:32 PM Quote this Post

Buy lvl 21 toxic rain and lvl 3 empower and then compare. 23 quality TR and level 4 empower is a little too steep for my budget unfortunately. EDIT: Okay so I went ahead and bought a 0 qual 21 TR and a level 3 empower. Unfortunately, the empower was not as good as the other gems in terms of damage, so the only thing I replaced was the TR. I hit 26k chaos DOT maximum with flasks. Still quite far from the advertised 1.2 mil DPS on a 50c budget unfortunately. Extra question: I started using witchfire brew, which eliminates the need for my despair boots. Are there any good alternative gem setup for my boots? Thanks!

If you are in troubel even on other maps, try 3 reduced mana cost craft. I have -10 mana cost (due to life and mana modifiers with catalyst) on both rings and -9 on amulet and I 0 mana problems (got 73 mana available since I don't use clarity and run 3 mana reserved gems) Your flask is ok when mapping, but I don't think it's versus boss while you can't refill your flasks. On your PoB, if you replace your dame on full life support by a lvl3 empower, your gain almost 10k skill damage over time (from 28k to 38k). Just keep your currencies until you can buy a better bow, like Viktranka said you can buy good one with 6-7 ex (but these prices are on delirium, dunno on standart league)	Posted by Yunalescaaa on May 16, 2020, 7:52:06 AM Quote this Post

My bad in didn't tick "are you allways on full life" in configuration tab But, with all your gems at lvl 20 and 0% quality except TR lvl 21 0% quality I see 43K DoT. And with empower 38K. But use damage on full life only if you are sure to stay full life. With damage on full life and empower instead of efficacy, you reach 46K. I don't know why you only see 22K DoT on PoB. All your gems are lvl 20 on the skill tab ? And if you get a bow with +1 lvl of socketed gems, DoT multiplier, can have up to 3 crafted modifier, chaos dot multiplier and +2 lvl of socketed gems you reach 74k DoT. Only by changing your bow	Posted by Yunalescaaa on May 16, 2020, 10:19:44 AM Quote this Post
