I followed your instructions for an amulet and created this:

How does this compare to a Xoph's Heart? I tried swapping between them and it looks like this amulet has more "Effective DPS" with my gear than a Xophs heart when I swap between them in Path of Building, and it says it's taking into account the full 12% fire pen on the Xophs; Is this accurate or am I missing something?

The reason why the Rare Amulet has more DPS than Xophs's Blood in your case is due to 2 things:

1. When using Xoph's Blood we can respec 2 points from the Passive Tree into some other area, possibly DPS ones(In my Amulet DPS Ranking example I used Savagery for comparison) This respec provided a lot of DPS increase.

2. The dexterity on the Amulet, which also gives a bit of Flat Accuracy happens to be enough to increase your Chance to Hit by 1% and that is additional DPS.

Unfortunately, there's another major reason why Xoph's Heart is stronger: Your amulet isn't the right amulet. The Awakener Orb takes a random Influence mod from both items to create the new one, but it seems your Donor Hunter Amulet had Movement Speed AND +1 Dex Skill Gems. Your Awakener Orb took the Movement Speed, so it's now just a +1 and not a +2 Amulet.

Ah, thanks for pointing out, I had a quick glance on the Amulet and thought he made that using Scorched Fossil and was wondering how it is compared to Xoph but unfortunately it seems like it was made by Awakener Orb(Since it is already double influenced).

To avoid further issues, I added additional details on that Amulet post of mine. Hopefully no more people using the Awakener Orb incorrectly. *My heart pains for his 3+ ex* :(

Yeah I figured I did something wrong afterwards, but if I didn't waste the ex on this it wasn't going to be spent on anything else anyway. All I really have left to look for is a +4 Frostferno, and I don't really think I actually need any more gear to do the content I have left (Sirus 9, the forgotten and the feared), so I wanted to make sure I got to use my money before I let the character rest entirely. No Ragrets.

hello, someone has tested this build with bow +2 fire Arrow , +3 sock, 6L and empower supp, changing the frostferno, what helmet would work? I want more damage in my elemental hit.

Not sure about the bow however Helm crafting was done in the last league by

Beverice https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3005581/page/90

& Bartpio https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3005581/page/92

The one by Bartpio does about 40% more damage than a double corrupt Frostferno.

For anyone wanting to look for Hunter Amulets to Yolo Awaken Orb, here's a link that removes all other hunter mods: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Expedition/vwBo0pWhE

Hello! Thanks for the guide!

Heres my build on ninja

https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/turcon/LateTermAltf

Still don't have the +4 frostferno. The thing's super hard to get, already burned over 20 frosties ):

Wow congrats on the Ninja! Good luck on the Ferno :/ I'm just 5 attempts in myself, got 5 more helms lined up but I want to make my own temples.

How's the build performing for you vs endgame bosses? Noticed you were able to finish Deadly Encounters, did you also do other Uncharted Invites?

Hi,

I'm at level 92 and struggling in t-14 maps. I can kite and stay alive, but it is slow. I thought I was following the guide. Tried loading a pastebin for the first time which shows 68692 average damage and 245231 total damage. I am not a pastebin guru and use it to follow the guide.

The other stats are per recommendations with 5.5 life, over 109 in elements except lightning at 93 and chaos at plus 13. I've tried to improve my helm 8 times using a vaal orb but no luck so far. Kaos is at 40. Chance to hit is at 97%.

These offensive numbers seem low or maybe I'm not using or reading pastebin correctly. I'd appreciate someone looking and telling me if I'm way off line here or closer to normal for the build. Thanks.
