Any pointers would be great, my ho dps is alot lower than many of yours :)

I recommend POB Item Tester - the weighted search function will help you find good wands. I suspect the off hand is quite easy to improve.

Single mod hatred Eyes are pretty cheap. It doesn't have to be crit, the life/mana/es gain is pretty great alongside e.g. %cold damage.

If you get a 7%, 2x DPS mod jewel, you can probably improve on the small cluster considering the passives it saves

Similarly, you can probably upgrade clear mind, particularly if you take the mana regen boot enchant

Awakened controlled destruction, though I realise it's expensive

Thank you for helping, much appreciated. Do you have a recommended ranking of what changes will have the most impact?

If I stop being so lazy and liquidate some of my resources, I can probably raise 20-30ex.

I've never used the pob Item Tester, will give it a Google to see where it is within the program, and how to use it.

Thanks again.

Single mod Watcher's Eye. After that, it's probably wands, but that depends on what POB item tester tells you. I suspect you can get good upgrades for way less than your budget, say for 2-3ex.

For those using divergent dash, if you pop in a 20% Anomalous Second Wind Support you'll get a 3rd cooldown use, which I find is better than 20% extra cooldown reduction. Between that and Onslaught on totem cast from Sleepless Sentries on a cluster jewel, you almost don't even need a quicksilver flask anymore.

Im very lazy! note to self

So i never use righteous fire haha, since i am using a timeless jewel can i use herald of ice??

(sorry if this was asked in the past)

I'm pretty sure it works, but you don't shatter anything, so you lose part of its benefit. More importantly, you lose life because we use our mana pool to protect us. You'd need to compensate by taking more mana passives, or mana on gear.

I use 3 vaal skills now and really like it (Haste, Grace, Cold Snap), perhaps you'd get used to it if you tried it :)

Thank you very much o7 will have a try on that, i did a look on your build way different any chance of POB? so i can compare please, i understand if not haha


Thank you very much

So I know this isn't exactly freezing pulse, but I switched it up to Ice Spear totems just because I like the chaining (comes in handy for multiple bosses too).
Where would you guys improve my build? It says (if I did the POB correctly) that I have 12M Sirus damage, which isn't bad but I don't BLOW UP bosses normally, just steady damage. I don't have that much currency, but could do the 2ex for a single mod watcher's eye that does cold pen, which would increase my damage by 7% or so.
I already have a good wand (would have to spend a lot to get a better one).
Have decent enough helm, boots, and gloves, though of course survivability could always be better.

So what would you guys change?

I am looking for some advice for gear upgrades I should be looking into I might have missed? I know I need to get the helm enchanted, I plan on working on that today or tomorrow.

Additional questions:

- can we benefit from Inspired Learning? Yes, it says 'you', but sometimes this wording is more ambiguous I think

- what's the earliest lvl when transition towards a double cluster setup is viable without too much of a stretch? I'm stuck at lvl 96 for now because I'm a greedy and impulsive person, seems like 2 cluster setups would stretch me a bit too thin... But I may be wrong

Hi everyone!

Quite a noob here - 2nd league only (1st was ED Cont - might have been spoilt by the survivability on that build)

loving the DPS on this build, I had some issues with survivability on this, so when a atziri's reflection dropped, I swapped my gear around to play around with that. got a nice helm that I crafted, and put a 2nd essence worm with zealotry to make up for the DPS loss of the offhand (wand into shield).

on my mind:
watchers eye with hatred crit+zealot cast (12% DPS for 14-20ex) for the cobalt jewel in the large jewel,
corrupted soul mantle with +2 projectile gems - around 15% DPS for 20ex
bottled faith
better boots (but i love that 30chaos resist)
swap out flash freeze for whisphers of doom (i think 7% dps? - but this only helps w single target right?)

my brutal restraint decently rolled for the additional stuff on the nodes
4% life
25% crit chance x2
10% damamge on non-damaging ailemnets

let me know your thoughts! Would be great to understand if there are more economical ways to improve either EHP or DPS on this build.

(with enemies chilled by you, 6 curses, and all flasks active - im hitting around 1mil DPS) (not sure what HO DPS is)

I'm not too clear how the maths works for this - if you did a footrace between normal second wind & anomalous, which wins the 1500m run? Does it depend on e.g. enhance or quality boosts from gear?

I've already been considering dropping my quicksilver flask, I find I'm using it increasingly little and perhaps a second hybrid flask (with cast speed? remove shocking?) gives better utility. Though at that point, perhaps life flask and mana flask is just better.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/ejwtoi/video_guide_weighted_sum_item_search_with/ has some stuff about how to set it up, I imagine there are other guides too.

I've had this a couple of times, but my character is public. You can just import from the POB import page, account name NoImagination.

Don't enchant it yourself, just buy one someone else has enchanted. It's not worth spending a week in lab.

As for the rest, get a 21/20 freezing pulse (or corrupt yours when you hit 20/20, and buy if you miss). Then the first two awakened DPS gems are quite cheap right now, leaving controlled destruction til last.

Seems to me that "when you kill" shouldn't work. Someone earlier in the thread said it did though... You may just have to test it out.

You can switch to 2nd cluster jewel by putting a medium in the 2nd slot, updating to a large as you get more passive points. You'd have to use POB to see when it's necessarily the most efficient thing to do, but I did it pretty early for the utility reasons of having four mediums and all the benefits they bring (including projectile speed & so getting damage enchant on hat).
