Hey guys.

First time seriously playing ED, and following this build.
Nice build, and thank you to the author.
One thing i want to ask. Even tho, im not a PoB warrior, but.. I feel like im doign something wrong.
After i put a big amout of currency into the build, im talking around 20ex+, my DoT damage is still lower than the author PoB(even the one he marked as 2-4ex, im not even talking about he's 15ex PoB)
And yes, i understand that i dont have the berserker gem, or the +1 amulet. Still, in hes 2-4ex PoB, he is pretty much naked, with some serious DoT damage, i have this feeling im just missing some check marks in the path of building.

Even tho in game, it feels kinda smooth, but i really want to understand how is my PoB is scuffed.

If you anyone can, i would love the help.
Here is my PoB https://pastebin.com/L5m6J4Vm

You are dealing 378k shaper dps with ED, with 15 wither stacks thats 663k, that should get you easily into (lower) reds.

Get a +1 Int / Chaos Gems Amu (or both ^^) https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/eRXZbwrsL
But overall you should be fine, what exactly is the problem?

had another very helpful person in gamechat ...

Turned out he is german aswell, we had a nice chat :) showed him how to zoom through maps too :D

Got divergent berserk with the 4Th lens <3
I play in a private league with less than 1000 players so it was going to be a big challenge to get it, glad I got it out of the way

Just have to farm lethal pride now and get empower 4/enhance 4

There is no problem actually, i just want to understand.
How is the authors 10-15ex PoB dealing 1mil dps, while im sitting here pretty much on better gear than hes or atleast similar 10-15ex setup(except for the berserker gem), and dealing only, as you say 378k.
In other words, i just want to understand what causing this big of a diffrence in our PoB's.

The 10-15 ex setup uses
- a 6 linked +3 bow with crafted chaos damage, thats 5-6 ex
- a devouring diadem which is 2 ex
- a 6 linked hyrries which is 6 ex, 10 if you want the correct colors
- a 1-2 ex amu
- decent stygian with spider should be another ex
- transcendend mind almost 4 ex
- green nightmare 0.5 ex
- cluster another ex
- the two chaos+dot+%life jewels are 1.5 ex combined
- empower 4 is 5.5 ex (just bought mine)
- enlighten 4 is 3.5 ex
- divergent berserk i have no idea, i bought mine in heist for 2 ex so id say 3-4 ex?

So we are looking at a current invest of roughly 35-40ex - the prices always depend on the league and the time of the league, it will get cheaper later.

Plus check the configuration page, did you select frenzy charges? 15 wither stacks and everything else?

I didnt with your number because that dmg is inflated, i usually dont have frenzy charges at bosses ^^

For some reson 5 link Hyrr's price in the Ritual is about 20 chaoses, when Kintsugi without any decent links is 4ex. Is Hyrr's still the best in slot for the build?

Yep, Dark said so few pages ago. Go for Hyrri.

Kintsugi's prophecy is most likely bugged (there were 2 bug reports) so doesn't spawn for a lot of people which means suddenly you can't obtain it normally and what was 5c unique is now 5ex cuz maybe some lucker pulled it out of Ritual or Heist.

It was never "needed" for this build (or other builds that use it like Octavian's Toxic Rain mines), it was just recommended cuz cheap and nice defensives. When it's no longer cheap, it loses any incentive.

EDIT: Here's the post, halfway the page: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2581551/page/678

Great, thank you!

First of all, allow me to thank you for an incredibly wholesome post. When I first dropped a contagion gem a couple of months ago, i thought "well this is a thing to do in a pandemic lockdown"; i had no idea what ride am i in for.
The first build guide for ED i found was extremely weak, leaving me feeling like role-playing a character named "sir squishy mc butter bullets" - little did I know the build was more of a ssf diary. Nearly turned me off contagion, left me wishing I could squeeze more out of it... Lucky i found your post and discovered that yes, i can.

I am now rocking your 100ex version and -thanks to harvest - steadily working towards the mirror gear. This brings up a couple of min maxing questions I'd like to ask before committing towards a very steep crafting path.
I'd like to state that while I did read a lot of the ~700 comments here, i by far did not read all of them, so my apologies if I'm asking something that has been discussed. I did the best I could. Also, while being able to somewhat understand the inner working in the game, i have been onlz playing for a couple of months and might be overlooking something you guys consider common knowledge. in that case, id like to apologize as well.

1) auras. Did anyone figure out a reliable way to run flesh and stone and aspect of the spider together? If I'm not missing anything, and discounting the vaal implicit (putting corrupting a mirror worthy item to the realm of impossible straight away), with both shapers and hunters reservation reductions only rolling on shields, the only way would be sacrificing at least two amulet affixes for crusaders and hunters specific reductions.
Thanks to the aspects not being affected by enlighten tho, this would be still too close for comfort and might leave us needing a third affix, the shapers global reduction - needing three influences effectively pushing us into rolling an astrolabe.

Is there anything I'm missing? Because it seems to me the sacrifices are way too high for me and i should rather roll an abyssal socket on the helmet, exiling flame dash to the quiver and getting a whole lot of buck for the suffix.

2) having 5 mil dps on ed, is there ever a point we could safely divest from blight or reduce it's links, only using it to get infusion or stack up wither? Would that save some passives that might get a better use?
I know you guys really hate even thinking about multilinking contagion, but from what I hear, the game thinks contagion (rather than ED) kills most the mobs - does that not mean we'd be benefiting greatly from linking in item find gems?
Or is there not anything else, whatsoever, we could use? Would cast speed buff our totem and make berserk actually work on lmb? Anything?

3) the bow. seems like having a 6ex bow in a mirror setup is an oversight, what do i do to improve there?
my 1st guess would be annuling the multimod, freeing a suffix. then shapers frenzy charge? pierce for quality of life over allies cannot die aura? elders aoe to mitigate the nerf?
2nd guess would be onslaught corruption, freeing a suffix and an influence, but considering the point made at 2) about contagion killing the mobs, would that even work? if not, going for frenzy charge generation?

I had more stupid questions but already forgot where i am, might edit the post later.
Thanks for your guys patience.

Any tips on crafting simple all res and +1 chaos amulet? nothing good on the market, so thinking to try crafting one myself
