0 dps on acts. what i do wrong?

Heya! I tried checking your character in PoB but you're with a poison toxic rain setup. Would you kindly send me ther PoB link to your character with the gear and gem setups you were using? The only thing I'm able to see right nouw is that you are underleveled for early mapping and you probably didn't follow the passive tree progression in the different trees inside the leveling PoB(in the passive tab you need to click on the drop down menu in the inferiour left corner of the screen, there are passive trees for progression from act 1 up to mapping before converting into low budget).

Hope you have a great one and take it easy! Will be waiting for your response.

How do you get so many projectiles? That's the only thing I don't understand.

Heya! In the end-game you have 4 base projectiles from Lancing Steel +1 from the helmet enchantment +2 from Dying Sun meaning 7 projectiles while not sacrificing steel shards. If you have steel shards, the Lancing Steel sacrifices up to 4 shards per attack and when you sacrifice 4 shards the amount of projectiles fire is multiplied by 3, so 21 projectiles in total. If you are a Deadeye with endless mutitions(+2 projectiles) you'll fire 27 projectiles. Also, for each beltimber you have, if you use a movement skill recently(in the past 4 seconds) you'll have +2 projectiles before multiplication, so with all mentioned above and 2 beltimbers you'll fire 39 projectiles total(6 per beltimber, so 12 for 2 beltimbers plus 27 from all other bonuses). It's actually not recommended to use beltimbers in the final setup because other options give you a way higer dps. But thats it.

Hope that answers your question!

It answers it perfectly! Thanks so much!

In another build that I can't seem to find now, someone said something about doing *something* that didn't require you to use "call of steel" to get back your shards.

Is there a good way to use lancing steel without having to use call of steel regularly to keep your shard count up?

Heya! The only way to get steel shards is by using call of steel. There's a glitched interaction with the skill that if you cast CoS and attack at the same taime as the first 4 shards are regained, if you do not stop attacking CoS will keep regaining shards for a while trying to reach 12 shards. But it only works if you didn't impale enemies nearby recently AND if you don't stop attackin, because as soon as the skill regain shards while you already have shards, it will stop that interaction. And it only works afaik if you get 4shards with the first pull that CoS does. If you're clearing maps, depending on your dps you may just not use CoS whiel there are not rare enemies nearby, since you'll kill regular and magic enemies with the short burst.

Hope that helps.

Heya!

I just wanted to say that I really love the build!
Was lucky enough to drop Paradoxica, unfortunately 2nd unveil wasn't too good (minion, dmg per endurance charge, something else), but I think it's still decent.
I am trying to go hybrid - 1 ring with LGOH and 1 with Vulnerability.

For people on low budget and mana problems - I got OTTS with +4 mana gained for each hit implicit. These were dirt cheap and help A LOT.

OP - any tips what I could do now to improve my DPS? Not sure what would be easiest to upgrade now - cluster jewels maybe?
_to_me_exalt_quickly_ is my char, profile should be public.

Once again, thanks for great build!

Heya! Thanks for replying! Glad you liked the build!
The best upgrades you can get atm are a Large cluster with Feed the Fury, Fuel the Fight and Smite the Weak or one with Run through instead of Fuel the Fight abd a Diamond Flask of the Order(with at least 76% crit strike chance during flask effect).

Getting a lvl 21/23 Lancing Steel and all support gems with 20% quality will also improve your damage.

Hope that helps! Have a great one and take it easy!

Leckarion !

First of all thank you for all of the tips.

I made the build working on XBOX.

The guide is pretty well explained, however still i had some break and i'm kinda confused what should i upgrade next right now?

I'm handling red maps easily, however missing dps at rituals ( and survival - getting randomly stuck and 1 shotted and whirlwind not working - i guess lags )

Just to show all others - even on XBOX where market is dead i managed to kill elder at lvl 89 with full crap gear :)

What are the issues on Xbox? Generally i saved like 6 ex, but there are no items, it's like SSF. No saviour or Paradoxica - im checking trade everyday.


My profile is public, feel free to check it out and import to pob. Thank you




Btw my all resistance issues are gone with this ground drop :D

It does. Thanks so much! I'm definitely enjoying the build and I appreciate you answering my questions so quickly!
