How do you live in 2020 if you can't install an app (POB) on your pc?

Oh cool, now he deleted that post. -.-

I'm little confused about gem setup of Lone Messenger version of the build: i get it that we use HoAg and SA 6links, but why do we forsake Blink Arrow for the sake of Blood Rage or Molten Shell - isn't it better to have BA for better mobility?

I guess -15 manacost on the body armor isnt so important, because i have no mana troubles. I have bought this for 4 alch and I think, I won't change this armor at all

What's the biggest boost in terms of dps here? I'm around T10-T12 in maps, and while usual fodder is managable, bosses are a chore. Fossil crafting changes made things like the helmet and body armour that much more expensive to get to but they surely can't be the centerstone of these MILLIONS of dps everyone seems to be posting about.

I can't see anything like it or nowhere near? Which mods exactly bring out what you have there? Surely it can't be the pure 6-link as I already have that.
The only clues that come to mind are things like double Nostalgia and the bow mods for 100%/300% damage with poison but even when I switched to Lioneye's in PoB the damage wasn't chopped in half or anything?

I simply do not see it.

Where are the numbers?

I realize that there are things like Malevolence and then a few other gems I'm missing here and there but I'm at this point where I'm hesitant with big currency purchases in lieu of switching to another build.

Some help with understanding would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone. I just made it to 4 watchstones questline and i struggle a bit in t14/15/16 both in terms of survivability and damage . Feels like i do no damage to bosses. if someone can tell me where to focus next or what i have missed . Will wither boost my Single target DPS? thanks to everyone and sorry for my bad english.





What am i missing? I thought of darkscorn but i cant find divine flesh in skill tree and how can i boost my chaos resistance . its - 6 % atm is there a way to double my current chaos resistance? ..

Peace and stay safe people :)

What do you guys think about a maloney's mechanism with a setup : Frenzy + GMP + Withering touch ? it'd help a lot with the clear thanks to the frenzy charges and for bosses we won't need the wither totems so we can use a ballista setup in the gloves to use the vile toxins, or on a 6L to go with SA.

Is it a good idea or is it better to follow the guide ?

There are DMG numbers to work with everywhere!
... but they may not be as cheap as they used to be.

This builds scales very well, but it's not the cheapest one once you hit T10+ maps, particularly in the beginning of the league when uniques such as Darkscorn and Impresence are several exalts each. I would still recommend sticking to it and see if you can pull through as this build becomes so very nice once we hit enough damage.

Now, back in 3.8 and 3.9, the easier fossil crafted facilitated cheaper upgrade paths before saving up the amount needed to buy e.g. Darkscorn, Circle of Nostalgias and so on. On the other hand, we've seen not just a power creep the last few seasons but also an inflation in currency, and 5 exalts is not worth as much nor as difficult to gather as it used to be a few leagues ago.

Now, apart from your gems, looking at your gear I see a potential upgrade in basically every single item you are wearing (save the Coralito's Signature; nice with the 75% there!).

Me and a friend who is also running the build are both pushing beyond 10M+ Shaper DPS by now, but it requires investments. If you were to be interested in continuing with this build (as I wrote, is scales very well), I would start with the following.

Drop the Lioneye's
... and buy a Darkscorn, it's down to ~1.3 ex now (was 7 ex two weeks ago).

Invest in more jewels slots with stronger jewels
I see only 1 or possibly 2 jewel sockets in your skill tree. As a comparison I'm not that many skill points ahead of you, but I'm using 7 jewels sockets excluding my cluster tree; 12 jewel sockets including my cluster tree.

Attack speed/life/resist(/poison damage or damage over time) is huge for this build and I've put a lot of early league emphasis myself into finding good jewels for my non-utility (utility: thread of hope, cluster jewels, glorious vanity and so on) slots.
For survivability: Divine Flesh
Via a Glorious Vanity jewel; has also dropped in price lately.

For quality of life, survivability (& dmg w/ fire dmg)
Get a Cinderswallow urn; has also dropped in price lately.

Read through my similar advice to other players
If you want more upgrades to consider (basically all my advice given previously in this thread can also be applied to you character), just go my profile and click Recent forum posts; I exclusively post in this thread.

I'm thinking about the next steps now, this is my gear atm, it's doing a fine job carrying me through content.
But I know it has it's flaws, so... What should I be changing next? Getting a devoto with SA on it? Changing the quiver? I'm lost c:

@artradis What build would you recommend if I do not plan to go Darkscorn since I have this bow? Lone Messenger build? Divine Flesh build?

Just crafted this quiver which i feel is insane
