What are the actual gem combos? i see the +1 to skills on shields but what gems am i throwing in there? i know bladeblast is my chest and bladefall are my gloves. but that leave 2 other 4 links. I assume my CWDT setup is for a 1 hander as well as the shield charge setup for offhand.
The + level to skills on the Shield is global, you don't need to socket gems in there for it to take effect. Put the gems where-ever is easiest for you to color them. The Bladefall and Blade Blast are the only ones that are locked into gear slots.

Hey so I just swapped over from poison bv assassin to try something new and I have it relatively well geared up and it feels great. Only thing is the single target feels a bit lacking for some reason. Any chance someone could check my pob and let me know what to upgrade next/what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

And also how do you go about bossing? Is it just alternate spam bladefall/blast?
1. Swap out Critical Damage for Awakened Area of Effect or Intensify. Your BBs probably aren't overlapping as much as they should.
2. De-level and de-quality your Spell Cascade to level 1, you want the AoE on Bladefall to be as small as possible.
3. Try and get Crit Multi ring and amulet.
Other than that, there aren't many upgrades you can make without breaking into truly expensive gear.
Your DPS isn't much worse than mine was you (around 20% less), so try the above suggestions and let me know if you still have issues.
As for bossing, yes you will want to alternate BF and BB.
A small optimization you can make is when you have full Unleash seals (like at the start of a fight) double tap your Bladeblast to detonate the blades faster. E.g.: one bladefall cast > bladeblast > bladeblast. This is only worth doing when you have 3+ Unleash seals, but can be good burst.
Thanks so much for the response :D. Crazy the difference lower bladefall aoe makes, melting everything now. Sorry to bother but 2 more questions. Without divine flesh(too much investment without harvest after nerf imo) what can I do to get a littttle bit more survivability (aside from min endurance working on that which will help). And also is the + to unleash seals really more damage than crown? Seems it only gives more burst for you’re first cast.

Getting more life would be the simplest way. Vermillion rings, and just better overall life rolls. Other than that, getting boots with Dodge on them and a dodge enchant will also help.
The more damage you have, the stronger the Unleash helm is. I mainly ran it b/c I needed the resists for Divine Flesh, but I would recommend testing out Crown vs. a rare helm for yourself and seeing what feels better. I like the Unleash helm because it lends itself to a hit and run playstyle which can be pretty safe.

Hi great build thank you!
I was wondering if Spell echo could work in our blade blast 6 link instead of concentrated effect for example>? On POB it shows a big dps increase.
*edit - sorry meant controlled destruction.

Spell Echo is bad because we will consume all the blades on our first cast, then our second cast will just be a single explosion. You only want to cast Blade Blast if there are blades up so the second cast of Spell Echo goes to waste.

Can someone tell me what is up to date and what not?
Some things are crazy mixed as various types of gem sockets in thread / other ones in PoB, 40ex PoB looks extremely wild or i don't get it?
Started this Build and i've got the feeling i'm missing something (except for explody chest)
my pob: https://pastebin.com/t5F5F5cA
thanks

Why don't you use a carcass jack? It will massively increase both areas of effect and area damage. also i you could use an assassins mark and cold snap with arcane surge (to generate frenzy charges) in wand with auto triger mod. Anyway here is a pob link (https://pastebin.com/nNA7Exmz), i also changed a pasive tree a bit. (i am not a professional player, so if you would have a look and tell me if i did something wrong here i would appreciate it)

Everything should be up-to-date, if you see something that looks wrong let me know. The 40ex PoB was made with gear from Harvest league, like I said in the guide, you don't need gear like mine to make the build work.
Your PoB looks fine, I don't see any issues.

Carcass Jack is an o.k. budget option, but I don't think its better than the other budget options I listed. We already scale a lot of AoE so it doesn't actually give us that much more AoE, and it offers very little in terms of defenses. I would never use one over an explode chest, and at that budget Sporeguard and Loreweave are solid alternatives for clear speed and tankiness, respectively.
As for a trigger setup - its jut not necessary. We already have a curse in Vulnerability so Assassin's mark wouldn't work. You can't gain Arcane Surge from triggered spells. The frenzy charges on kill from Cold Snap are nice, but its not worth giving up a craft/suffix on a weapon and all the gem sockets in that weapon.

Hi, I'm starting up on this build and was looking at the '100c budget' PoB. I had two questions:
- I notice the config says 'enemy is unnerved', but I don't see a source for unnerve? How do I get it?
- What anoints would you recommend while progressing on this char early/optimal? I'm in SSF so cheaper anoints would be good to know while working towards anything that needs silver or higher oils.
Thanks for the build, I am enjoying it so far.
