Hey, i'm having a lot of trouble with the cluster jewels and quiver with add. arrow, just wasted about 1200 alteration orbs, 3 ex and 200 chaos.

And no luck with the gloves too, i've bought 6 of them, broke 3 and the other 3 didnt got despair and im using one.

This is the progress i've made so far in the build.

If you have any tips it would be appreciated, started running labs for the helm enchant but no luck so far.

Hi there,

Linking you gears (inside a spoiler tag) would be easier for people to have a quick look at your build. You want to make it as easy as possible for folks to give you advice.

You don't need cluster jewels until you reach level 90 or so. If you really want cluster jewel, I'd suggest that you craft the medium cluster (flask or chaos dot mult) + enduring composure (small cluster) first. Until you can craft a good 8-pt Large cluster, bring everything together. It's a waste to deploy a large cluster with only 2 notables and no medium/small.

In the meantime, you could try to see the level 80-90 PoB in the OP and adjust your build accordingly.

+ Your Scourge Arrow setup is not optimal. Replace Void manipulation by Vile Toxin.
+ Get a +1 arrow from quiver (for starter, it doesn't need to be a fancy one).
+ Grab a -mana cost chest and take it from there. Until then, use an Enduring mana flask so you can sustain 5-stage SA.
+ Have a Despair on hit curse on your ring. BiS is having it on Fenumus' gloves, but it's extremely out of stock this league.

Aurican,

Great boots btw, but I looked at your character with Aul's, your chest, and boots and after playing this last league I know how hard it is with Auls alone to get resists maxed out and comfortable with map mods that lower them. You care to share how your resists are lining up because you are forgoing them on 3 items as we know fenumus doesn't offer any either. Seems like you are also giving up Chaos DOT, helm focus damage, and belt poison DPS for resists on these items. You finding it balances out?

Usually, we buy the helm with SA enchant on it rather than grinding labs. The helm enchant is a good DPS boost, but it's not mandatory if you aren't reaching min-maxing state.

Keep using the ring with curse on hit. I'm having no luck with corrupting gloves for Despair on hit either. That's not a big deal. Just focus on upgrading other parts of your build and get back to that despair on hit curse later on.

You doesn't seem to have a way to replenish your mana. You want to get a Warlord chest with -mana cost or bring an Enduring mana flask with you until you can get such a chest. Ideally, you want -mana and +frenzy charge on hit on your chest, but -mana alone should be decent until you can find enough currency to make the more ideal one.

Grab a +1 arrow quiver. It can be as simple as mine. Use it while you upgrade other parts of your gears.


GGG just releases the patch that should help us craft the large clusters easier. Good luck crafting.

BTW what do you think about quiver? I've come with an idea, not sure if it will work, haven't tested.
1. Slam awakener poison damage / additional arrow on quiver.
2. Craft chaos res, so it won't be augmented by harvest
3. Augment chaos. It can only craft max chaos res prefix or +chaos dot suffix. We don't have any good prefixes aside from life which we will craft later and additional arrow. And max chaos res is good if you're divine flesh.
4. If chaos dot rolled not t1 scour crafted chaos res. Prefixes cannot be changed. Remove chaos. Go back to step 3.
5. Craft attack speed
6. Craft t1 life through harvest ( should have 3 suffixes so the +max life is the only possible mod when augmenting ).
Haven't yet tested this crafting. But if i didn't miss anything in poedb and you are not unlucky with awakener or annuling in case you are unlucky with awakener it should work without rng.

I don't think the poison damage is worth a suffix but your method looks good. I was considering awakening shaper + hunter and just reforging until you get additional arrow + t1 damage over time multiplier (not the chaos variety) and isolate the mods, then craft life and augment chaos 3 times and remove chaos add chaos until everything is good, then augment or remove/add life til it's acceptable.

You end up with life, additional arrow, max chaos res, chaos multi, multi, and chaos res.

I'll be getting more res from my rare ring and belt, then hopefully some nice res from cluster jewels later. I'll be replacing the helmet with -chaos eventually, just no good luck on some harvest crafts to make it. It is difficult to balance when the items are loaded with offensive suffixes for sure. Accuracy will also be difficult.

With all the insane triple/quadruple influenced mods on many gears we are doing, it'll be hard to cap resists. I'm thinking of small life cluster with full of +resist together with a +35% increased effect to further increase the benefit.
Edit: maybe x2 of such small clusters.

Thanks for the build man. Ive done a8 sirus and elder and shaper is a joke now too. Maps are a breeze. Honestly the most fun build ive tried yet.

Im still gearing even and I feel like I can already do all content. Playing this on 200ms all the way from south africa so this build is quite lag friendly too.

Only concern I have is that the gear must be crazy hard to craft without the plants so I hope they are here to stay.

Dont think I can ever play without flask auto refill again. Infinite flasks is just so good.

Yeah I took the 4th Jewel node on the way to No Witnesses while I get enough nodes to reach it and I think I want it all the time now, the ability for life, resists, attack speed is too good. Honestly thinking of doing without No Witnesses and going Swift Venoms instead.

finally friend found chaos aug and got this bow,


now just make clusters and will be great I hope
how you guts craft yours with harvest craft? Any tips?

I just hit that on a craft. Is the +2 to bow gem good? Any way I can get rid of the two useless suffixes?

Just want to thank everyone regarding the suggestions for the chest and aiming for the the mod "Gain 1 Endurance charge" to replace the cluster jewel. Was very easy to get the socketed attack mods with the garden.



Having a hard time to optimize the helm and neck pieces right now and working on getting a new bow.
