Hey! I'm following the build now and think it would be very helpful to know what gear to upgrade first from the starter in all uniques to the rare gear, and what can be "upgraded" by just getting a single impactful important mod :D


Well the most important stuff you should have is basically listed in F.A.Q in why am i dying and why am i not doing damage, and they are also listed in PoB in order of importance. Big upgrade is for example rly good rog quiver, circles, clusters etc.

It seems like there was an undocumented change to Scourge Arrow. Pods now spawn directly underneath the arrows and no longer allow for overlapping, e.g: If you have +1 arrow and shoot with a tight angle, it will make one long line of 6 pods instead of a zigzag.

Edit: After more testing, the change seems to be that pods have to be a minimum distance from each other now instead of grouping up tightly. This mostly means that in narrow areas you're going to have pods flying off into the sunset or just not spawning if one of your arrows clips into a wall.


Hmmm can you record vid of it? But also based on that it should not be a problem actually, right? At least not in open areas and in tight areas at least you spawn some pods somewhere i guess?

EDIT:

Actually I justed tested it in hideout and I dont see any change in behaviour, hmm

Hey, can you comment a bit on Malevolence as a Blessing? I am returning player, and it seems quite high risk for 16s of buff that takes 50% of your hp away on cast.

Maybe I am missing something, can you comment on how/when you use it? Buff before bosses and then flask up?

PS: thanks for a build, I am having quite fun!

I'll try and grab a recording later tonight and also double check it with previous footage I've done. It's possible that being away from the game for a month wiped my memory, but I don't remember Scourge Arrow ever making it so only one line of pods appeared if you had 2+ arrows.

You can save it up for bosses only, you basically pres malevo and press life flask right after. As you can see from my lvl 100 vid in cemetery i was just pressing it left and right even in middle of packs because i was so tanky it did not mattered :d

How does this work with focused ballistas ? Don't you need to attack very fast for it to be good ?
Are 5 ex enough to get this build rolling? I league started with poisonous concoction but got tired of it already.
I remember playing this one ages ago and having a blast.

The SA ballistas always fully charge and it takes them a while to do so so nah, it works perfectly fine with SA.

Should be fine but on 5ex do not expect much more power than pconc has. Its certainly more fun to play tho :d

Build is working decently well so far, however I'm having trouble with both survivability and damage on rougher stuffs (juiced t16, pinnacle bosses), I'm saving up currency to get a better chest piece but what are other stuffs I can do? I feel like I'm missing damage because stuffs like eater/exarch and conquerors are taking a long time to kill while their hits sometimes almost or straight up one shot me.

Well defense is i think obvious you are lacking bunch of source sof maximum resistances. And for damage, I would try grabbing more attack speed, your AS is seriously lacking. Maybe try the attack speed focus mod, that should give you big burst of damage and should feel smoother.

EDIT:

Oh also try divergent withering touch maybe. Also in general you are missing qual on all your gems basically.

Thanks! Are there any other sources of attack speed I can get?
