[3.17] Wallach's Hierophant Freezing Pulse Totems (No Further Updates)
|
Could someone please help explain to me why it seems I'm doing significantly less damage as compared to the OP (1/4 of his according to POB calc) when it seems to be I have mostly similar/equal gear? Does the difference really come from the last 7 levels and inclusion of a large gem cluster with all it provides? I'm not struggling with clearing T16s or anything, but I'm just trying to wrap my head around where the differences are so I can focus on where I need to improve my build.
My POB can be found at https://pastebin.com/QMgt3M8w Currently at 174k HO dps. Last edited by sesons#5102 on May 9, 2021, 5:06:54 PM

" 1. You haven't configured your PoB correctly, in the configuration tab you need to put curses on yourself, check power charges, enable flasks etc. 2. Swap gems in helm and gloves, your frostbite will bring more dps than orb in the head. 3. You have only 1 medium jewel vs 1 large, 2 medium and 1 small. 4. Bad weapons, lacking +1 all cold spell skill gems. I've fixed 1, 2 & 4 and your total dps in PoB went from 670k to 1.35m. Last edited by Wingerie#4120 on May 9, 2021, 5:30:43 PM

So for the Large Cluster Jewel which notables are we looking for? I seen OP guide but I also see people in comments running different notables.

I'm playing this to 97 so far and while the damage is pretty good this build is very squishy aka glass cannon especially for ultimatums everything is fine until you get hit by something.
I need to know how to get some defense if I'm gonna try to take this to 100 without doing Chayulas and leeching. I'm still missing flasks and a jewel and a few other item upgrades but none of them will prevent deaths. Last edited by Ustasa#7647 on May 10, 2021, 12:17:51 AM

Hello. I have a problem with Pob calculations. I'm using Viridi's setup, I'm hexproof, but Pob dont count it when I mark curses in config. I dont know what am i doing wrong.
I've used point by point frontpage pob config. Also, could you give any advice about cheap upgrades at my current state? This is my pob: https://pastebin.com/1zjcT3Ch Thank you very much. |

Hi Wallach. Thanks for your guide it really helped me climb in this league. I would like to ask if you can take a look on my current character and see what needs to be prioritize upgrading. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

I have to ask: how do you manage resistances if you were to transition to a higher DPS set up? I have a really good rare belt that gives me a healthy amount of HP , but I was thinking of giving it up to make room for Coward's Chains. At the same time I was considering Essence worm, but without the ring all of my Resistances will fall to around high 60s.
What should I do? Should I just throw caution to the wind and just focus on DPS? |

There's been some discussion re: how to get the notables placed so that you can have the 2 you want in the front and a 3rd one you don't use in the back. But you definitely want Blanketed Snow. I went with Disorienting Display as my 2nd because it's a nice defensive layer but I may get a different one when I can afford it.

Either replace your Flame Dash with Divergent Dash for some phasing, or get Phase Run. Also get Vaal Grace to go along with your Vaal Haste. Those 2 defensive layers will help quite a bit.

Go into PoB and add this to your Viridi's Veil.
"Unaffected by Curses" It's the same affix that Atziri's Reflection uses. Then it will properly calculate your dps. For your gear, get a 21/20 Freezing Pulse. Get Awakened gems in your 6L. Switch your Panicked Life flask to a hybrid and switch your mana flask with a Wise Oak, if you can support it with your res setup (make sure cold is highest uncapped). I think you've sacrificed too much dps affixes with your wands for trigger cast. At least w/ your 2nd, you could probably get a ton more dps if you get higher spell damage, crit multi, get crit strike chance and cast speed. 30% projectile speed enchant on your helm and a boot enchant as well. "

I'm not Wallach but I'll give my 2 cents. 21/20 freezing pulse, awakened gems in your 6L. Culling strike is nice but you could get the +% damage to chilled enemies affix on your gloves instead. 1mod hatred Watcher's Eye. 30% projectile speed enchant on helm and boot enchant also.

Awakened gems on your 6L and a watcher's eye would help you out.

Just want to make sure that you know the belt we use is Coward's Legacy, not Coward's Chains. Legacy makes you low-life to proc Pain Attunement and allows you to use a Panicked Life flask. Chains is the other belt that does not synergize with us.
I would not upgrade to higher damage items until you can fix your resists to account for it. You probably need to spend 100c to 1ex on both your boots and gloves, that's where a big chunk of your resists will come from. Your magic ring also has only 15 light. You could do with a higher tier resist stat or an all res stat. If you compare my boots to yours, you have 34 Fire and 21 chaos. We don't really need chaos res. It doesn't hurt to have, but at the expense of an elemental res, it's not worth it. My boots have 29 Fire, 42 Light. Your gloves have 37 Light, 22 Chaos (see again re: chaos). Mine have 47 Cold, 20 Fire/light. So your gloves/boots/magic ring have a total of 86 Elemental Res while mine have a total of 203. Getting better res on those 3 will allow you to transition to the unique belt, essence worm and eventually Pandemonius Amulet. Last edited by etherel90#6124 on May 10, 2021, 1:08:49 PM

First, I want to thank NoImagination and etherel90 for their help with my build - I've finally broken through and killed Sirus and a few Guardians yesterday -- thanks a stonking ton!
Second, how do we calculate actual DPS in PoB? If this is in the guide, I'm going to feel very silly, but I didn't see it. I've over some recent posts, but in particular I was wondering about the per-totem / per-projectile scaling coefficient in the "Count" option. In the guide's PoB, with a calculated 3.75M DPS, the count is set to 1 - is that one totem, or one projectile, or did I miss something and this is a calculation of the damage of the entire build?  If it is per totem, we would scale it to 6, and if it's per projectile, we would scale it to.... 30? Forgive me if that seems a bit lavish, because the latter would result in an estimated 112Million DPS. Thanks in advance, and I apologize for my ignorance!
