Is it possible that the Overwhelming Malice Notable isnt really up to date anymore? The loss of coralistos and lucky crit flask seems like it isnt viable anymore. Atm I dont have the Theat of hope so I dont have King of the Hill, but the uptime of Unholy might is ABYSMAL bad, so I doubt this 1 note will fix that.

Touch of Cruelty looks way better atm.



Yea that is true, I am working on updated pob atm where I replaced it already, but ye just take touch of cruelty, its better.

Alternatively going for double leech cluster is also an option, the leech clusters provide highest DPS and attack speed is the best stat for SA anyway.

Since u are using the ward setup atm apparantly based on your char, how does Nightgrip works exactly?

It the damage based simply on your max ward or your current ward? Aka do you lose the damage if it is down ? If not it kinda has to be the best way to go. You lose so littely to get 1k Ward easily, which is basically on a 7 linked level of added damage..

I think I might run Voranas with "savage hit" trigger and a normal Iron Flask for uptime.

For the Ward version I came around to use Artic Armor. You dont want to use the prefix slot on boots, with Menders Wellspring and a Cannot corrupted blood jewels it opens the life flask up for anti ignite and screw on shock (maybe some jewels implicits but thats some very end min max).

Was thinking
Lifeflask--> anti ignite
Voranas --> savage hit
Iron --> Charges full, extra ward.
Quartz --> used when duration ends, attackspeed
Quicksilver--> used when duration ends, movespeed.

I dont need mana because I will run warlord - maana always.

The damage gain is based on max ward e.g it doesnt matter if you have it up or not.

In my theorycrafted pob for it I decided to just use regular iron flask and drop vorana because iron flask has also global increased ward suffix what makes up for the cull loss from vorana mostly.

I have the theorycrafted pob here, not many differences actually: https://pastebin.com/SUqRQiN3

what i want to do however is also a bit more focus on ballistas (especially placement speed and some survivability and +1 ballista) as they turned out to be very very effective, just a bit clunky without placement speed and survivability.

Well good to know they didnt screw up the usability of those gloves.

As I said I plan to use 2 Flaks for Wards, the unique AND the normal one, but yeah if someone is on the manaflask slot the normal one is better. As I said I want to use the unique Flask on savage hit.

The Pob is certainly very Balista heavy. GGG might love that, it seems certainly something that is more in line for their vision of a balanced build. Since I basically ignore bossing outside of map bosses for this build I dont have much use for it, but yeah keep optimizing it.
Thanks for this guide, it's really comprehensive. I'm saving up currency for it now, hopefully 40ex will be enough XD

EDIT: At what level should I swap to divine flesh? I'm guessing I need a certain amount of skill points before it's viable?

Second Edit: I saw the new POB you posted, with a focus on ward. Is this strictly better than the normal divine flesh version? Some of that equipment is going to be hard to get :(

Hi,

In your Strength of Blood build, I am only able to read Lethal Pride Timeless Jewel and Thread of Hope Crimson Jewel from the POB. May I know what is the name of the jewel next to Blood Drinker ?

It must be somewhere but I am not familiar with POB yet.

Thanks

What would using Vorana's on savage hit achieve? At least compared to Fobidden Taste what is much better when triggered like that as it heals you back to full.

You can swap at around level 85 to 90, just drop some extra passives.

The equipment in the ward version barely changed so you dont have to worry about it rly, the setup works even without getting ward affixes on gear but ward bases is something you definitely want at minimum.

You mean cluster jewels? Make sure you are on latest version of PoB community: https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding/releases/tag/v2.6.0

(Gear^^)
Mapping and clear speed is pretty excellent at the moment - and I feel pretty tanky with divine flesh and 83% chaos res.
But I'm trying to improve my boss damage which still feels pretty bad..

Any thoughts where I should focus?
I have around 5ex to spend at the moment so my thoughts are one or multiple of:

A new quiver with chaos DoT multi and +1 arrows
A ring with despair on hit (using witchfire brew for despair at the moment)
A helmet with -9% chaos res and ailment focus (though there are 0 85+ hunter helmets with the scourge arrow enchant for sale at the moment)
A second cluster jewel setup (though I don't know where I can spare any points)
A 6-link darkscorn to improve the ballista (though the 5link does it's job of whithering everything, would an extra link really improve dps?)

Or anything else you can recommend?

Yes, Cluster Jewel.
I have the latest PoB.

I can see it said "Life/Damage/Resist Viridian Jewel.
Is it the correct name ? I can't find it in POE Trade search.

Thanks
It means a viridian jewel with life, damage and resist as stats on it.
