did u change the onyx amulet into the astramentis?

No, but I did not found decent rings with enough strength for my current Synthesis char when i was looking so I just got Astramentis as alternative. But the amulet I have in PoB is still way better (see main thread, Astramentis is listed as budget alternative).

Can you chance crystal belt to get Auxium? How rare etc. am ssf have everything except the belt

Yes definitely, and as it's the only unique belt you can get from crystal belt it should not be that hard.

Hello. I have some questions about ascendancy.
1) In which order should i pick passives?
2) Why you chose Weave the Arcane over Harness the Void?

And, since Voidfletcher will be unavailable for couple days, should I go for Soul Strike Spike-Point Arrow Quiver or decent rare penetrating quiver?

Hello.

1. So, the order I reccomend to go with is Swift Killer then Ghost Dance and Escape Artist and finally Weave Arcane
2. Weave Arcane is more DPS than Harness the Void and provides us a bunch of QoL on top of that, so imo it is superior choice in this build

If you can get Soul Strik as alternative, then I would go for that, if not, then penetrating quiver is 2nd best alternative. The most important stat on your quiver is ES, 2nd most important is pierce.

Was looking for something to play in flashback on a trickster, ran across a shaped thicket bow in my dump tabs and decided to give this a whirl. Switching over to scourge arrow now at 70 we'll see how it feels. Seems fun and ranger builds are always too squishy for me so hopefully running ci on a trick fixes that. Cheers for the guide

The Wave of Conviction thing aint the purpose to get vulnerable to cold damage for the mobs?

I cant really get that to work probaly..

Any tip/help?

Hello. You use Wave of Conviction only on bosses, on normal mobs it doesnt matter.

Not sure how is cold exposure displayed on monsters, maybe it isnt. But Wave works, just cast it on boss and make sure it is dealing majority of its damage as cold to apply cold exposure and not some other exposure.

Hey there, do you plan on updating the guide to 3.7? With the nerfs to trickster, abbys jeweils, ES, and IC -> soul of arakaali, the build got Hit on quite some areas. I guess it will still bei viable, just less strong. Would you change anything on the build? Was planning on trying it Out for Legion. Would bei nice to hear your thoughts, See your changes to the build after the Patchnotes.

Greetings

Hello, yeah, I was actually just updating it.

Sadly, this nerf was pretty annoying. Arakaali interaction is not reliable anymore, my ES went down from 9.9K to 9.3K. But, in return this build got a lot of damage, previously it was around 3.9-4M now it is at 4.5M, what is nice. And also, doors are no longer our biggest enemy, yay!

Updated main post, here are the changes:

- Reworked tree after 3.7 update
- Removed Arakaali interaction from build guide (no longer reliable without IC)
- Took some extra damage nodes on tree instead of Witch start nodes
- Removed Ethereal Feast cluster

And updated Pastebin:

Pastebin

All these changes are with lower rolls on abyss jewels of course.
