Is it realistic to switch to clusters without Thread of Hope/Intuitive Leap? (SSF btw) Reduced reservation seems pretty necessary.


Should be possible, but you'd be pretty short on points. Get the Charisma cluster, skip Leadership and anoint Sovereignty instead of Corruption if you need more reduced reservation.
Prepare the clusters before you switch, doesn't have to be with all the notables. Have 1 Large and 2 Mediums for when you are ready.
For Medium clusters Brush with Death nodes are important for the recovery, so get those and you can work on better ones.
And don't unspec Hired killer cluster until you have those ready.

Hi there! I've just gotten to maps today with this build and I'm loving it so far. I've got a question really quickly regarding PoB. In my pob, it doesn't seem to be adding my DO supports to my DPS. Am I doing something wrong?

Looks OK to me: https://prnt.sc/130ytmr

Make sure you use the Community fork POB, there is a link in the guide.

You're missing quality on jewels, so they don't show.

For example:
Aw. Swift Affliction is showing in the "Total More", but not in "Total Increased" because it's lvl 1 +0.
But on Efficacy, you have +10, so it does show up.

You will get almost 20% DPS from +20 quality on the Death Aura support gems (except Less Duration, no need to quality that one)

Nice build.

Is the second magic ring in right slot worth it for hexproof?
Could use that one for getting str/res/dmg instead.


Nobody an idea?

Get a flask with Curse immunity and you can use a rare ring.
But you loose 25% inc damage from Hidden Potential (not a huge loss, but still)

Hey, been enjoying this build a lot. I have always wanted to make a Death's Oath build. I was just wondering what you think you be the best thing to focus on to push further. Ive been saving up for a +1 gems implicit bow but I wanted to make sure there was not some other options that I should hit first.

Depending on what you want - more damage or more survivability, the possible upgrades would be:

For damage:
Some medium clusters can be improved a bit
Watcher's Eye with DoT multi
Dual DoT multi Quiver
+1 implicit bow as you mentioned
+1 Chaos, +1 Dex amulet with Chaos DoT and Malevolence reservation (probably the most expensive upgrade)

For survivability:
Quartz Flask
Catalyst rings and belt
Divine Flesh (Glorious Vanity - Xibaqua)
Dodge boots (influenced) / Atziri's Step
Aspect of Crab also a nice option for more Phys damage reduction

And something I really like - DO with "40% reduces attribute requirements" enchant (to get rid of Inertia).

Hey what do you guys think I should upgrade next? I need clusters/expensive gems and bis gear (Viridi's helm, synth rings, +2 dot multi quiver with life/res etc.) I currently have all res capped atm using rare rings and vertex.

Cool, thanks for the info. I will work on that stuff.

How much do you think bow attack speed really matters? The higher aps bows are much more expensive due to the other builds that benefit from it so much but we only use it for safer/quicker caustic arrow casts right?
