Looking for some help - I think I've gone wrong somewhere as my POB says my skeleton archer dps is only like 28k! I'm clearing red maps decently but I feel like for my investment I should have way more DPS. Not sure if I switched to archers too soon, etc. I still don't have my cluster jewel setup which I'm thinking may be it? Still saving but the first one is at like 1.5ex right now.

GMP and Chain are both less damage multiplers. When you swap to a boss setup, you get two more multipliers rather than less multipliers which I suspect should bring you to ~200k a skeleton maybe? Or Almost 2m DPS on day 4 of league.

Enable signal prey (bossing) in config. One wand is really bad.

Keep in mind that archers are pretty similar to warriors in DPS and are typically super expensive early in league since people don't like heist.

Thanks, I'll check that out. One wand is pretty bad! I am trying to get my +1's now (or go cluster, not sure yet).

Based on your POB in 6(2), it seems the Archers bossing setup is about half that of the Melee variant, is this correct?

Build is just too squishi for Ultimatum at tier 16 with 5.8k life and 1.3k ES still oneshot with 3 endurance charges >.<

Corrupted a level 20 archer gem... Got it at vaal! but 18% quality :(

e: would using a lioneye's glare for pierce be enough for clear with the bossing setup?

playing the build through ultimatum, quite fun although tad squishy like everyone else has said. not in reds yet.

some questions, why not put the brand in the trigger wand for EE?

regarding additional crafting, maybe put the helmet craft notes in the crafting section.

any info for crafting cluster jewels? or is just chaos/harvest spamming and hoping for the best?

darkness enthroned vs stygian, just more dps vs life/res im assuming?
def seems like a league for another life slot item thanks to ultimatum.

not sure if you looked into new spectres since apparently crushclaws were nerfed. just running monkeys atm though.

you also have a note in a POB saying +2 duration gem rare chest for 35c? man dunno how that seems possible. none on the market :(

great build overall :D

+2 duration rare chest is pretty common, and 35c is certainly within the realm of possibility for even a very good one. But you have to then 6S, color and 6L it, which is the most costly part.

I play SSF. I've stumbled upon a wall while progressing to t13+ maps.

PoB:
https://pastebin.com/ZNhsG5DV

There's a couple issues I think that need fixing.

1. DPS is too low. Even rare mobs in t13 maps take some time to kill.

2. I didn't manage to drop cluster jewels recommended in the guide, and while skellies dying is not yet an issue, I'm certain it will be at t15-16 maps and conqueror fights.

3. My support spectres are dying. I'm using 2 Carnage & 1 Host Chieftain. I'm not sure if I can fix them somehow, or maybe I should just pick other spectres?

4. I don't have 21 skeleton gem. I'm working on leveling more to try to corrupt them, but for the time being it's a bit problematic (SSF life).

5. I don't have a proper gear for Animate Guardian nor the gem leveled up to 21/20, and I'm pretty sure without it - it'd die at some random point.

For the time being I've decided to slowly complete my atlas so I can setup some fav maps and target farm stuff. But I've had to start skipping on Ultimatums, as they're simply too rippy for all my minions & myself.

You have to tick the granite flask otherwise vicious projectiles doesn't work.

To be fair, ultimatum is a DPS test - if everything is dead, then the overtuned rares (or aurastacked rares) can't kill you. Unfortunately it's getting to that point which is challenging.

One interesting thing I've learned playing a non-minion build for the first time in a while is my fear of Sirus dominated mobs. I never considered them even a threat last league playing skellies.
