I do have a quick question, I'm closing to being able to afford an awakened multistrike soon. Should I be getting a +2 skill gem chest or an awakened multistrike first?

Ok now, I'm max res and got all my auras.

What's next you guys think?

Other than Awakened multi which cost too much atm

The POB you linked has negative mana reserved. So I can't really comment on that part because I can't see what is causing it. There looks to be a ton of disabled skills. Also this POB includes Awakened Multistrike which you indicated above you did not have so I am unsure if this is the right POB you wanted us to look at.


In case it is correct, here are some general comments:

*Your cold res is not capped. You can get to 81% cold in this build thanks to shield and tree.

*Your ES is a little low for your level. You may want to respec the very beginning of your tree. That long run through the es/armor nodes is weak. Play around in POB but you may do much better taking the short path out through the strength nodes and use the points you saved to get arcane focus.

*Look for an enchanted belt that gives more damage to maimed monsters. Here is a link. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/8l0g9GviV

* There may be a good reason but I just noticed you have a mana flask. You should not have any mana issues in this build. If that is just left over from a time you did need, replace it with something that will help your build.

* Add attribute quality to your amulet. It is cheap and gives a nice little bit of ES

* if you run the lab, look to get the life regen enchant on your boots. It is a nice help against DOT.

I decided against Flesh and stone and used a second empower on discipline and determination instead to max my reserved mana and give those a boost, we already have sources of maim from other places right?

If any1 would be kind enough to take a peek, feel like my damage is low even with 5 sentinels, es is 5.5k atm but will obviously go higher with more levele.

Have a bleed bow glad i spent considerably less on and have far more damage.

Ok, sorry there was a bug with POB.
The mana potion was for running a no regen map.

I tried to download your character into POB to check for you but your account is private.

If you want, you can answer this yourself as it is entirely a DPS question.

Load your build into POB and then check the DPS with the +2 chest and then check with Awakened Multistrike and compare.

I believe Awakened Multistrike will provide you more DPS over all in POB but double check your own build to be sure.

ok that looks better :)

My comments remain the same as before but I have one more to consider.

I think you are missing some extra defense with your flask setup. I have never needed a second Writhing Jar when playing and I am doing very late end game stuff.

I also have never had a need for the Soul Ripper flask.

If you want to consider, you can add in two more defensive flasks of your choice to make you much more tanky.

YMMV so please experiment at will. :)

Also, if you do intend to stay with Soul Ripper, I would consider getting a better rolled version. Remember that we are looking for the following (from the build guide):

Important:
The flask charges are a roll.
The roll you want is:
1) Higher than 50, and 2) If it's higher than 50, then the lowest possible. So the best roll is 50, but if you can't get 50, then 55 is better than 49.
