" Congrats on the corrupt! Fire(The better one out of the 5 possible options) plus it comes with 90% Mana Cost? Sign me up! Enjoy your Frostferno :) " I would look at it in two ways: 1. If the Normal Mobs in the content we are engaging with takes sometime to die(e.g. Deep Delve, High % Delirious Maps, etc) or in cases where we are Hitting Multiple Bosses at the same time, then the EH enchant is a better choice since it is applicable in all situations. 2. What is our current DPS status(Per Totem)? If we have, say 10m DPS(Exaggerated number yes), the Sniper's Mark DPS increase over EH is probably not going to make a lot of difference since our damage is already owning the game content. If we have like 300k DPS, then the increase for Sniper's Mark will be significant as we need all the DPS we can get at this stage. So I'll go for the one which suits these scenarios best which is likely to be Sniper's Mark for the majority of situations.

Thanks for the input Vei!
One more thing, without taking lab enchants into account, a +4 Frostferno is still better than the crafted Blizzard Crown right (damage wise)? Or is there some other benefit to the Blizzard Crown that I'm missing? :) |

Note to Everyone
If you are extracting your char into POB to do DPS test, do use the old Combat Focus as POB is not factoring in one of Combat Focus's affix in the new Combat Focus version, thus giving inflated DPS numbers. Here's the old Combat Focus Code:
Combat Focus Viridian(Lightning)
Combat Focus
Viridian Jewel Item Level: 85 LevelReq: 32 Radius: Medium Limited to: 2 Implicits: 0 15% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills With 40 total Dexterity and Strength in Radius, Elemental Hit and Wild Strike deal 50% less Lightning Damage With 40 total Dexterity and Strength in Radius, Elemental Hit and Wild Strike cannot choose Lightning
Combat Focus Crimson(Cold)
Combat Focus
Crimson Jewel Item Level: 85 LevelReq: 32 Radius: Medium Limited to: 2 Implicits: 0 15% increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills With 40 total Strength and Intelligence in Radius, Elemental Hit and Wild Strike deal 50% less Cold Damage With 40 total Strength and Intelligence in Radius, Elemental Hit and Wild Strike cannot choose Cold How to use? You can go to the Items Tab in POB, look for the Create Custom Option, change Rare to Unique, copy paste the corresponding code, then press Create and you will have your Combat Focus. Do this for each of the Code above. " As you can see above, the new Combat Focus is causing some issues and giving the wrong DPS numbers. I tested using the old Combat Focus to give the correct DPS, I'll let the numbers speak for itself: Sirus DPS per Totem(Default POB) 654k +4(Non Fire/Proj implicit) Frostferno 670k Blizzard Crown(Level 16 Hypothermia, +2 Proj + 1 AoE +1 Melee) 675k +4(Fire + Proj implicit) Frostferno 720k Archdemon Crown(Level 16 Hypothermia, +2 Proj + 1 AoE +1 Melee, Exposure factored) Then I tested on Your Character, here's your Sirus DPS per Totem 288k Current +2 Frostferno you are wearing 324k Blizzard Crown(Level 16 Hypothermia, +2 Proj + 1 AoE +1 Melee) 328k Blizzard Crown(Level 20 Hypothermia, +2 Proj + 1 AoE +1 Melee) 334k +4(Non Fire/Proj implicit) Frostferno 346k +4(Fire + Proj implicit) Frostferno 348k Archdemon Crown(Level 16 Hypothermia, +2 Proj + 1 AoE +1 Melee, Exposure factored) 353k Archdemon Crown(Level 20 Hypothermia, +2 Proj + 1 AoE +1 Melee, Exposure factored) Note regarding the crafted base: For non Raiders, using the Archdemon Crown as the base would be better as Archdemon Crown's Exposure provides more DPS than Blizzard Crown's Flat Cold Damage. " Well, you can double corrupt it to get the dream +8 "Frostferno" :) Though if one plans to double corrupt the crafted helm, using Lion Pelt as the base would be better since Blizzard/Archdemon Crown's implicit will be overwritten with the Corrupted Implicit when we corrupt it.

Hello,
a couple of questions: 1). Attack speed. How does our attack speed influence our totem's attack speed? Is it a direct link? Is this why we want fast bow + attack speed on gloves / quitver/ etc? More attack speed => totems fire faster? Is there a diminishing return at some point? 2). Xoph's Blood. Why is it considered a great DPS choice? Around what level do the enemies start to have resists? Thanks. Last edited by scorburel on Aug 5, 2021, 1:18:10 PM

" Hello, Totems inherit our offensive stats, which means they use our Attack Speed, Critical Strike Chance, Critical Strike Multiplier, etc Note that this doesn't apply for defensive stats. Totems have their own defensive stats. If the attribute has a diminishing returns or maybe are effective up to a certain point, e.g. Flat Accuracy providing us with more DPS until our Chance to Hit reaches 100%, it will be the same for the Totems. " Xoph's Blood has 2 very strong DPS affix on it. - Damage Penetrates 10% Fire Resistance - Cover Enemies in Ash when they Hit you Penetrate is a very strong offensive affix especially against bosses as they have much higher resist compared to Normal Enemies. When an enemy is covered in Ash, they take 20% increased Fire Damage. This is calculated multiplicatively. Multiplicative calculations are very strong base on the way things are calculated in POE. Besides the above 2, it also has Avatar of Fire which let us save 2 Passive Tree Points and invest them into DPS Passives. All these makes it a great DPS choice. " It is fine even if the enemy has 0% Fire Resist, when this enemy is struck by a hit with resistance penetration, in our case, "Damage Penetrates 10% Fire Resistance", the enemy's effective resistance is reduced by 10%, which means the enemy is considered to be at -10% Fire Resist for determining the amount of damage dealt by this hit.

" PoB is adding working Combat Focus with correct numbers if it was created in PoB from custom import or from unique search from here  But it doesn't recognise them when you're importing the PoB for some weird reason. So you can either create it from unique search or use the paste data you provided both will work . ███░░█░░███░█░█░░░███░███░░░█▀▀░█░█░█░█░░░█▀▀░░░▄█▄░▄█▄░░

" Ah, I didn't check whether a PoB created Combat Focus follows the old or new Combat Focus text. Seems like we can get a working one this way also. Thanks for the info! :) " I believe it doesn't recognize them when we import the PoB from our char because the new 3.15 Combat Focus refers to Prismatic Skills instead of the specific skill name, in our case, Elemental Hit in its text: 3.15 Combat Focus With 40 total Strength and Intelligence in Radius, Prismatic Skills deal 50% less Cold Damage 3.14 Combat Focus With 40 total Strength and Intelligence in Radius, Elemental Hit and Wild Strike deal 50% less Cold Damage My guess is POB is missing the code to recognize the Prismatic Skills words. That's probably the only thing missing since PoB's Elemental Hit already has the "Prismatic" tag on it. My 3.15 take/update to Lunasicc187's OneShotKill Elemental Hit Hierophant Guide
