What do you farm mostly?

PS. According to my previous question relating to aw. fork vs aw. chain, which one would you choose only considering single target dmg (not to switch gems for Omni/Kosis/map boss fights)?

If you have some advice i'll take them :)

Also how would the build run on a 120ex budget?

I could use some advice too. I do mostly maps conquerors and sirus but only sitting on 20 ex so far.

Added a "Money Making Guide" portion to the build, check that part out

Run Awakened Chain over Awakened Fork even if it's less single target DPS. You're going to save more time from the extra clear it provides, that it'll be worth having slower boss DPS.

Awakened Chain is good for insane clear. Barrage Support is good for insane single target DPS.

You would think Awakened Fork is a good hybrid, but it isn't. It's just not worth running.

Check out the part of my guide on how to run the build on a 60+ ex budget. With 120 ex you don't have to cut all the corners I listed, but you'd still cut some of them.

Thx a lot man, what would you cut first with this budget?

Finished re-crafting rings and boots, and upgraded to awakened chain watchers eye. Feels so much better than fork.

Running vitality with HH and 8k ES. 1 split personality.

Budget with these builds knows no ceiling so always things to upgrade, super fun.

Gear

Just got my 9th mana reserve reduction jewel. I am now able to run vitality but I have to drop something else for it. My guess is I should drop Aspect of the Avian?

Im kinda having issues with one thing and one thing only: Bosses in T14 Burials.

The reason I say this is I wanna farm a shit ton of Burials for money. But is there a way I can boost my Power Siphon's DPS without switching chain to barrage support? The issue is I cant kill Einhar beasts fast enough or the map boss while under delirium.

Getting a cheap Watcher's Eye, and not using Intuitive Leap. Get a cheap 350 PDPS wand. Get non % ES rings. Make your own frenzy reduced mana shield. Use a Darkness Enthroned.

Looks like you only have 8 socketed, you need 1 more to run all auras

Your main issue is that you're relatively low on damage.

1. Your boot elusive chance is low
2. You have a wand with low attack speed, 348 PDPS without any penetration
3. You're missing big damage cluster nodes on tree
4. Your Watcher's Eye has no damage
5. Your gems are only level 18-20, upgrading to 21 auras and 21/23 skill/support gems is a huge dps upgrade
6. You have no minimum frenzies (12% more damage, 12% attack speed if you get all 3)
7. You have no crit multi on gear
8. Make sure you use Vaal Haste on red beasts, bosses, and metamorphs

There's probably more to say, but this is all I have so far. It's as if you completely avoided getting extra damage. Of course you won't be able to kill a delirious t14 map boss with Chain support in
