what is better for body armor: Shadowstich or Skin of the Loyal with +2 aoe/duration level gem? Or some other armor?

Well I really like shadowswitch life and es on kill bonuses, mapping feels so smooth with it, can tank ritual encounters and just healup anything. And overall corrupted item bonuses looks cool if you can minmax res and corrupt your gear (I, personally, failing doing that).

So atm shadowsitch with well corrupted gear and capped res is better (but harder to make it work.)
PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.
Hi there,

Was looking for a new build to work on and found this topic, never played spellslinger but I think it's time to get into it !

I have two questions I didn't found answers for so far:

1. If using Archdaemon helmet base, what's the point of using wave of conviction ? Does their exposure stacks ?

2. I see you're using Primordial Chain amulet, wouldn't Anima Stone Jewel alone be enough to get all 5 types of golem buffs ? Or is PC necessary for the big speed boost ? I was thinking of the "+1 to Level of all Intelligence Skill Gems" for this slot, or maybe an Aul's.

Thank you guys.

Well, royal has more dps because it gives 2 more gem levels.
But it has like 1/5 of the surviability and no attribute bonus (which is huge considering that we need dexterity) so like almost everything else in this game it is trade off.


I personally use shadowstitch because with the 20% hp to ES vaal jewel it gives you over 10k life pool after you are done corrupting your items.
The negatives of shadowstitch are super easy to overcome with shield


this chest gives you 60% maximum life 80% maximum energy shield up to 1700 armor, evasion and 300 shield 30all attributes (15hp etc) and my favorite part, gain life and es on kill, we kill all the time even at bosses.


But i will forever keep recommending skin of loyal instead, because it makes prices of shadowsitch cheaper for me. :^)


Now lets say you have 50mirrors in your currency tab and you can afford 500energy shield in every slot including weapon, you would still have suboptimal ammount of armor so even in that case it is not as good ehp.

It really is best to reach the bragging rights dps tho, +2 amulet +6 skin of royal +4 two wands.... you will reach 36 flame wall level.
While normies like me that care about other stuff only 31 (shield instead of wand, golem chain instead of +2 amulet, stitch instead of royal)

I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay,
And I pity Any girl who isn’t me today!

3 corrupts later I just hit this! I assume this is a good one right? I've never used shadowstitch, anything I should I know?

I'm getting tired of this forum, no wonder that reddit got more users.
My reply just deleted itself because i wanted to answer 2 people in one post instead of making two of them...

So I will make this quick and less sweat than i wanted: Corrupted soul

And to user above, that is godly roll 8. best possible.

I'm still fairly new to PoE.. can someone explain to me what Glorious Vanity does in this build? Also, I know I'm still missing a few things but when comparing my DPS to OP/others, I'm sitting around ~250k whereas they are all 1mil+ dps. Am I checking something wrong?

Appreciate the help for a noob xD

Also, how do I maintain RF in this build?

I entered your character into POB and you're sitting at a cool 1.07m DPS.

https://pastebin.com/bzpHD5JE

When you first import your character, the nodes to the cluster jewels usually don't carry over, so you need to input them yourself. Other than that, enabling buffs would get you up to speed. Anyway, your POB link is above.

I'm sure you already realize that your large clusters are taking up way too many passive points, and I also opened up two extra points - not really sure where they came from. Since you've hit >1m DPS, I would highly suggest focusing more on eHP now. Glorious Vanity can help with this - it can either add a higher max chaos res through Divine Flesh, or a massive amoung of Energy Shield through Corrupted Soul. To do that, though, you'll need to have an extra jewel socket and large passive, so you'll need to find 4 points from somewhere to fill in the nodes left of the Witch's start.

Forget rf, remove light golem from ring and replace it with orb of storm or chaos golem and then get cold damage to minion attacks in stygian wise


There is not much to recommend when it comes to your gear, it all simply needs upgrading (more gem levels, more fire multiplier, spell damage etc)
if you insist on pyre get perfect roll and then apply 20x turbulent on it, u will get like 96% increased damage in that slot.


More than half of dps comes from jewel slots, people around here have pretty much perfect rolls for cluster jewels so they have 1mil without them and 2.5mil with.

vanity changes notable to new one that might be of benefit or even damaging to your build. It is pretty expensive so do not mind it yet.
