Shadow - (3.14) Toxic Rain + Caustic Arrow | 5-10m Sirus DPS | Fast + Durable | 50c Budget/SSF Uber Elder - Forum

Ok i'm hoping someone and clue me in on what i'm missing here. I noticed other's builds where they don't have any enchant for reservation nor allocated certain passives to help with manna issues i seem to have. Right now with my setup (amulet enchant reservation) i'm rocking 89 mana unreserved. When i was looking at the end game POB he's showing much more unreserved with no reserve enchants or anything. It's driving me nuts i can't figure this out lol. I'd like to be able to craft an amulet without malev reserve and make it easier to craft a +dex/+chaos amulet. If i get rid of the enchant i'd loose my ability to even cast anything, as well as if I switched out my helm to the vertex to help to use any amulet like that, i'd lose my good helm enchants there as well. Any guidance is much appreciated.	Posted by _Ocaun_ on Aug 21, 2020, 11:50:04 PM Quote this Post

Why skip blood drinker and herbalism when you path close by? 2 int points above trickery seem very redundant. You shouldn't need above 155 int? You could downsize that 6-pointer cluster to 5 and then you'd be able to pick another socket just by not making a full circle on your large cluster and skipping a small node. The chaos large jewel is okay, the other is rubbish (the bow one). Outside of tempered arrowheads the other notables are bad, tbh only broadside is useful from what can roll on that type of jewel after tempered arrowheads. Also it's a 9-pointer making you lose even more passives. The crimson jewel you have (bramble curio) is good, the other 2 again are crap. Brood solace gives nothing except reduced mana cost because TR is not poison. The abyssal jewel is very sub par except chance for onslaught. You'd want higher life roll or "increased damage over time while wielding 2 handed weapon" on abyss jewel (not damage WITH 2 handed weapon that won't work). Quartz flask has cast speed on it? You need attack speed not cast speed. Enduring mana flask has nothing. You could just visit Einhar and craft warding on it or something. It doesn't remove prefix. Why did you craft intelligence on amulet instead of something useful. You have way too much of it. Also you could defo remove defence with harvest and augment chaos on that amulet for great benefit (after you recraft suffix so suffixes stay filled). The quiver is also meh, you can get a hunter quiver with up to 25% chaos dot. You can even get one without attack speed and craft attack speed from bench because "chaos damage to attacks" isn't very useful so attack speed craft is one of the few good ones. And the belt should be insta replaced really by either hunter influenced belt with increased chaos damage, or a stygian vise (or both together but that will cost you). And have proper life roll on it. Also why are you missing 3 points of cold resist? At some point you should buy a lvl 21 toxic rain and get a better bow, but if you feel your damage is ok that can wait. Not sure what's the vaal skeletons for, just as a decoy? Damn that's a great reply! I looked up into my tree and you're right. I shall change the bow large cluster jewel and get some tree points into life. I kinda wanted high intelligence stat since I was using awakened unbound ailments for quite some time earlier untill I bought Empower. I'll get your tips and try to improve my gear like you guided me. Again, thanks a lot for a great response! " Not sure what's the vaal skeletons for, just as a decoy? yea it helps me a little and I might change it for immortal call when I hit good colour sockets on chest.

Awakened unbound ailments says requires 55dex 79int at lvl 5 and even then... you shouldn't use it, it only works for ailments, toxic rain is not an ailment (it's not poison).

Check if it has discipline ticked, the first POB in the guide doesn't, it has only vaal discipline which I think is oversight, with discipline it has 30 mana unreserved so less than you. Anyway you can link me pob / character you're comparing to so I can see if that's the case, auto-POB imports from poe.ninja have the same bug where only vaal skill is activated not the default one, which is fine with haste & grace (most players will never reserve haste of grace... I think the specter build reserves haste and maybe herald stackers do) but not with discipline, you never use just vaal discipline without the baseline one. Also I dunno if everyone uses Clarity. If you have watcher's eye then you have to. But some people might use a different one. When it comes to poe.ninja copies: Everyone uses malevolence (2 people don't but they're lacking full sockets so could be they swapped helmet or gem to a different char). 82% have flesh&stone which means some of them don't. 77% have some form of Clarity. 40% have aspect of the spider. 23% have discipline. Some people spec charisma, most don't. But I'd expect they just have different aura setups most likely not including discipline. I checked top 10 dps people who use both discipline and flesh&stone, 7 out of these 10 had amulets with malevolence reduced reservation. From the remaining 3, 1 of them has influence specced (the mana reserve nodes by CI), one goes to -38% reserved so I'm pretty sure he no longer uses discipline only f&s and aspect. Last one is at -6% in the import so I also don't think he's using all the auras he has slotted.

Went back and noticed/confirmed what you had said being that different auras, combinations, and such. Just means I’ll play around with PoB to see what setup would work best for me to make what I want fit. Once again thanks for the insanely detailed response, people like you are why I really love this game at the end of the day.	Posted by _Ocaun_ on Aug 22, 2020, 11:16:20 AM Quote this Post

Not sure why did you go for crit boot enchant, I think there are some better ones like attack speed. And there are the new belt enchants from the "uber uber lab" best one is "enemies withered have -6 all resist" that includes chaos and works with wither totem from what I know. You can also "divine" chaos (i.e. randomize value with harvest) on the belt to get full +30% chaos damage. Also on one of the rings you have smaller -mana cost craft than the max rank, unless you don't see any benefit from reducing mana cost further. If you're not going for ailment immunity the craft on helmet I think isn't justified alone, you could just put chaos resist there to be on the positive chaos res side. You could also skip 1 small point on each of your medium clusters and 1 small life point behind revenge of the hunted and get another medium cluster set up where gale bloom is. You have +1 frenzy charge on glove but how do you get the frenzy charges? Also is that a mistake you picked Fatal Toxins instead of Hunter's Gambit? P.S. I still have this feeling you were just showing off the gear you have. Some of the items like quiver are truly polished to perfection. You can probably mirror service them in standard after harvest gets nuked.	Posted by Viktranka on Aug 23, 2020, 11:32:15 AM Quote this Post
Well at one moment I just said, screw the evasion and here is what I got, was to lazy to craft Evasion body, so just bought something already ready for me :)	Posted by PizesPlaukas on Aug 23, 2020, 8:50:27 PM Quote this Post

I am getting frenzy thru the HH buffs and I am trying to craft a Sadist Garb Chest Piece that has life, 10% hp to ES ( craft) , explode, chaos resist , 1 resist ( cuz i lack 6% cold resist but maybe i am able to fix it thru the cluster jewel suffix ) and maybe power charge on crit mod instead? For the Helm Suffix, I was going to put Aspect of the Spider but Having Clarity at level 1 ( have it a lvl 14) makes my playing style different and unable to spam TR non-stop. And perhaps i have to drop Jade Flask for a Enduring Mana Flask. I actually have the Enduring Mana Flask and bought fenumal gloves (unique) and i find the mana regen too low and unable to spam TR infinitely. What is your suggestion? can u pm me IGN perhaps , Btrainned Update: New Gear For Frenzy Generation and Carcass Jack Upgrade. I dont need the Power Charge on Crit but i have available suffix Slot for it because I squeezed in all the elemental resistances in the cluster jewels(heheh not easy) then I can swap +2 Aura Carcass Jack and the Exploding Chest piece without changing the max resistance of 75% However, to fully utilize the Chest Piece , I must get malevolence reduce reservation and aspect of the spider but i cannot use it with lvl 1 clarity, i may need enduring flask? I SOLVED IT BOYS !! But i have negative chaos resistance now :( Last edited by brytan06 on Aug 30, 2020, 3:16:48 AM	Posted by brytan06 on Aug 24, 2020, 11:57:30 PM Quote this Post
Hey guys, quick question: How does "Bow attacks fire # additional arrows" affects this build? How does it work? Does it dramatically increase the overall DPS? Should i invest on AS instead?	Posted by Devensky000 on Aug 25, 2020, 1:44:18 PM Quote this Post
