when should i respec my tree to using cluster jewels? i'm currently level 93. based on my PoB, i can sacrifice about 300 hp to gain about +500k dps if i use my clusters. is it worth the tradeoff?

here's my pob: https://pastebin.com/QKp338UT
you can see it on my "current" and "cluster transition" skill trees.

also, which of my gear do you think i should upgrade next? i'm thinking of better boots and gloves with higher life and maybe some chaos resist in them? then i will try to change my non-curse ring. then after that maybe upgrade my offhand for a 400+ pdps foil or a paradoxica. what do you guys think?

It looks like you are already on the right trail yes, boots definitely first and probably your cataclysm razor jewel. Get a better cluster than the Hex Breaker channeling because that notable is really bad, you would still want a curse immune flask.

Could also look into getting more resistances on other pieces so you can fit Ryslatha's Coil, if you do that you should definitely get a Paradoxica as your off-hand because you've already got a lot of flat phys on your gear. 160 pdps Paradoxica's are very cheap atm and would net you ~10% dps. While I would advise to get one with %phys and attack speed, getting crit instead of attack speed will allow you to swap Overwhelm for Bane of Legends wich will give you slightly more DPS while maintaining the same movement speed while mapping.

Finally try to get a better large cluster, it's not a deal breaker, but yours is a 9 passive with only 2 notables.

thanks for your input! managed to buy 170pdps paradoxica and ryslatha for 5.3ex in total. it was a huge dps boost. i'm now on the hunt for a better large cluster, a watchers eye, then an explode+mana cost chest.

i also managed to do my first a8 sirus kill. thanks once again for your build!

EDIT: here's my pob if you are curious https://pastebin.com/ZENcux8a

maybe I'm missing some point but if you swap weapon for the rampage, you need to recast "blood and sand" and "dread banner" or?
currently I'm struggeling exactly with that issue, so I'm using ice golem in the cwdt setup (instead of precision) and aura in ring socket.

or is there any trick?

actually i'm not using the rampage atm as i also don't know how it works xD but yeah you would need to recast your auras if you swap with it. i use it mainly as a placeholder when lvling up my gems

If your auras are not on your weapons when you switch gear with X,you won't need to recast

this gave me an idea. i did these to my gear/links



i moved the ancestral warchief to my sword then the aura to my boots. this way, no need to recast the auras if we switch to the rampage axe.

There's no trick to it. The main reason is to utilize the green sockets from Scaeva. So when you eventually upgrade from it, you can place your auras anywhere you want. As to how Rampage works, it's described in the guide but tl;dr you weapon swap to Sinvicta's and kill any number of mobs, does not matter how many and then swap back to your main weapons. As long as you manage to maintain a killstreak of 10+ you will trigger Rampage wich gives us a lot of damage and movement speed aswell as some cool effects like spears flying out and corpse explosions etc.

I just tried it myself. It does work.

Hi guys, what should I upgrade next for the biggest improvement? Do you think a Paradoxica would be my next upgrade?

An ok paradoxica is pretty cheap atm.

Your next upgrades should be that, stygian belt + jwl, -15chest + new ring.

After this try to get better overall gear with as much possible as you can: Crit multi on amy, life on pretty much everything, flat phys dmg. and ofc res so you are capped.

Change freeze from life flask to basalt and the other way around. Aim for two stoned boots for more res. And ofc helm enchant.

You should also aim that you jwls have life/crit/speed/dmg in this order, Ideally life + 3 crit multi stats.

And if you use cluster, see op's guide.

The guide has a pretty good item guide and tells you which stats to look for in each slot of your gear under "detailed gearing". Read that section carefully. First of your resistances are pretty bad you are uncapped at cold res and barely capped at fire/lightning meaning elemental weakness maps/elemental equilibrium take you way below capped res. Always aim to be a bit over the capped res not to get screwed by elemental resistances reducing map modifiers.

Also you are missing two ascendancy points. Finish uber labyrinth asap and either get overwhelm (18% more dps with your setup currently) or endless hunger (~10% inc dps + stun/bleed immunity).

It's all budget depended but for cheapish upgrades ~30c or less I'd recommend:

Amulet: Amulets are a very big source of dps. Try getting one with high added physical damage, high life and crit chance/crit multi. Then get Bladedancer annointment (Bladedancer gives almost 3x more dps than singular focus you currently have + it gives extra range which is nice). As for secondary stats whatever resistance/stats you need. If they have an open prefix you can craft %inc melee dmg/melee strike range (prefix) or %inc dmg while leeching (prefix) which gives a nice extra dps boost.

something like https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/ZDeQqk8tQ

I see one atm for 25c for example that would increase your dps by 14%. You can also untick 1 crit mod in the search if you need stats or resistances more (preferably keeping crit multi.)

Belt: The belt is pretty bad, has a bad/useless implicit and 3 useless stats. Try getting one with as much life/res as possible and %global phys if possible, or any other useful stats. Stygian vise being preferable because you can add an abyss jewel to them.

Something like: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/YB70GlvUY
Or a rustic sash https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/BDoaQT8

For ~20c you can get a much better belt with more resistance than then one you have + an abyss jewel slot which you can slot in (life, added physical damage, attack speed, crit, onslaught on hit or anything useful). Then when you can afford it get Ryslatha's Coil. Though that one is quite expensive, but a very big dps increase.


Gloves: Get ones with as high life/res as possible then look for attack speed and +physical damage to attacks.

Something like: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/GnBya69cb

For example there are some there atm for 20c with similar or higher life and res than yours + they have attack speed and added phys. ~10% more dps according to PoB.

Boots: Yours have quite low resistance (56%). You can get ones with around 100 for 15-20c quite easily.

Something like https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ritual/LoQwYXcn

Would help you cap resistances and free up other slots for more dmg oriented modifiers or needed attributes. When the budget allows you can get ones with elusive or tailwind on crit.

You could easily upgrade those four slots for ~80-100c and increase your damage and resistances by quite a bit. After that just keep your eyes open and try getting gear with as much life as possible and keep your resistances capped (or preferably a bit overcapped). For damage you want to look for +physical damage to attacks, global crit multiplier, crit chance and attack speed. Also at least one ring with a curse on hit (vulnerability on hit or assassin mark on hit) is nice to have and increases dps by a lot, though a half-decent one will cost you at least 1-2ex.
