I'm not super sure where to start next as far as damage upgrades go with bottled faith a little out of m price range atm, I know I have my lightning pen gem to finish, and a few levels before I can get the rest of my cluster jewel points, but I feel like my weapon is kinda of lacking but not sure what would be better, currently I'm working on a better shield but that's more so for defenses rather than damage.

Any advice? level 92.

From a quick look (and I'm not an expert, but have been through roughly the phase I think your in) there are some quicker and cheaper wins before you start looking at bottled faith.

To put this in context, you're at around 2.8mil shaper dps or so, so you're not in a bad spot and to push past 5mil shaper dps a lot of it comes down to gear and itemization min/maxing.

-Upgrading to triple crit multi jewel (and ideally getting another one or two) will help a lot.
-Getting a better corrupted blood jewel (as yours is only there for the corrupted blood) will help, as you're wasting at least 2 mod slots there.
-Trap throwing speed gloves should be something you're looking for (or to make) for general dps.
-Lab enchant for boots.
-Gem levels.

However, you're also getting to the point were you might just need to overall start maxing your gear a bit more. To push the dps up my side I had to get good enough es gear to unspec the unnatural calm wheel so I could put the points into 2 more cluster jewels giving me a much higher dps output (light pen, throwing speed etc). You can see what I'm running here for ideas on tree and jewels: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/HarlequinD/StaticSparkle?i=0&search=name%3Dstat&time-machine=week-7 (ignore the gear it's a week ago cos it's snapshotted my delving rampage gear atm, you can see up a few posts for exact gear if interested)

This gave me 8.4k es without that wheel, and a much higher dps output - as a tip, if you go this route consider switching clarity for precision - you should be able to handle it and it will give you more freedom on dropping some crit on gear.

top build in expedition!
thx for that guide. <3

Yw mate and ty:)




Guys I have a question for EVERYONE who has completed act 1 to 10 with this guide:

Lightning Spire traps, did/do you use them?
If you did use them, how useful/good were they for you on a scale from 1-10 (10 being awesome).

I'm asking because I haven't used them myself while leveling since Blight league as lightning trapper and I've not had issues blasting the bosses/acts.

Reason I've kept Spire traps in the guide is/was because I figured people with perhaps less trapper experience would still appreciate the extra layer of DPS they could throw out in a boss fight and since the links was available and they synergize with the build.

But I'm curious how many of you actually use them and if you do use them, how long did/do you keep them?

I used it, I give it 7/10, useful for bosses or a bigger pack of tough mobs.

League started using build guide so no twink gear (and didn't stop for a tabula). Didn't use lightning spire, 4-link to 5-link traps was plenty good enough to rush through.

I'm actually noticing a dexterity deficit. Even your PoB shows (the level 75 tree) that you have 49 dexterity with current gear but the build requires 72.

Your 100 tree has Thread of Hope allowing you to grab Practical Application for +25 str & dex, and the Presence of Chayula grants 16.

Your opinion for making up the difference prior to the 100 tree and on a budget/league start build? Just +dex from rare items? Grab a few +20 nodes?

yeah exactly that, don't be afraid to pick up Alacrity when leveling for +30 dex - you can respec easily later. Just have a care not to over level gems if you deviate a bit to pick up things like faster attacks for a shield bash etc. I've ended up on 75 and I don't believe I've got any on jewels or gear (other than chayula)

Alright sounds good, and yeah Alacrity is what I went for too, helped in the short term. I'm still leveling so having to find gear w/ dex on it felt awkward

Remember the 75 tree is still using max level gems to require 72 dex which in a normal scenario, you wouldn't have max level gems at lvl 75. :)

But indeed you just grab alacrity or any gear with dex on, doesn't really matter, whichever you happen to find or want to go with.

Personally I often go for a tasliman with +projectile pierce and some stats in early new leagues.

I saw some of the videos the balls of lightning are bouncing off walls... how do you get that?

Firts time saboteur for me, just wanna say thanks for the great guide! Very fun to play and good chance survive in leveling.
