[3.6] Eternity Shroud Winter Orb Trickster (the best one)
" Ok i was under the assumption that Herald of Ice would still be a DPS upgrade since it added to the cold damage. I will drop it. Another question should I just avoid the Sovereignty cluster then since i can run the other 3 auras without it? |

" With Enlighten 4 and Sovereignty nodes, you should still have about 5% of your mana unreserved with Hatred/Zealotry/HoA. So long as that plus your reduced mana costs also allow you to cast things like flame dash, wither totems, etc. in addition to Winter Orb, opting not to take EB+MoM is strictly better. It's advantageous for 100% of damage to be taken from energy shield first since ghost shrouds will replenish it. It also will give a higher life pool in practice since repeated hits taken while leeching energy shield might put you in a spot where you have 1000 HP and 1000 ES. In those cases, EB+MoM gives less protection than you'd get without them. Plus, by not spec'ing MoM, you'll never have to worry about a degen causing you to not be able to flame dash or begin channeling. This is all in addition to saving the passive points. " One of the confusing, but fun, parts of POE is that there never is a universal best. If you aren't bossing, the ignore chaos resist mod of Eternity Shroud is not super helpful. The on-death explosions of these wands can clear full screens. While this build doesn't struggle with speed clearing, there's no question that these wands make it even faster in maps. Plus, once you've decided to break the seal on your full-set Shaper items, you might as well keep going and use Devouring Diadem. You can run Hatred, Zealotry, HoA, and HoI in it for a DPS boost in maps. Plus the Feast of Flesh is such a luxury. It makes you feel like you have Patient Reaper on a dot build, enabling you to run cannot leech/cannot regen maps with no worries without Cinderswallow. | |
" It depends on what content you find yourself doing and how much you want to change it. You have a few choices: 1) Keep Sovereignty and EB on the tree. Best choice if you want to do a decent amount of bossing. You will need both to run full Shaper gear and 3 auras. 2) Keep Sovereignty, drop EB, use Devouring Diadem. Best for highest DPS mapping with occasional bossing. You can have Hatred, Zealotry, HoI, and HoA in helm. You lose a bit of DPS vs. bosses but still fine. 3) Drop Sovereignty, drop EB, use Devouring Diadem. Best for QoL if you don't think you'll be doing much bossing at all. You only run the main 3 auras now, but you get back a ton of skill points. Those can get you lots of convenience stuff like more life and cast speed. I'm doing the third route personally. I can't afford Shaper Pyre and top tier Shaper rares anyways, so the casual route is fine for my needs. | |
" Thanks for clarifying that makes sense. |

" Thank you for the detailed answer! |

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
https://pastebin.com/MnR14Gq0 how do people get 5mil POB dps when I am not even close to 1mil? Endgame content is easy af though | |
" If I'm not wrong you have to multiple your damage with amount of your projectiles (5 with GMP?). So pob dmg*5 | |

I am trying to buy a shaper ring with fire damage leeched as life and there are never any for sale. What is the easiest way to craft one I can multimod? If i buy a good shaper base what is item level does the ring need to be to roll "fire damage leeched as life"?
|
|
" It's a Delve mod, so you'd need Aberrant fossil (% chaos dmg leeched as life) or Scorched (% fire dmg leeched as life). The only possible roll is 0,2%, ilvl doesn't matter. I looked it up on poeaffix.net |
