Hey Leckarion,

Thanks for helping me a bunch of times I have now entered the late game doing tier 16 maps with ease. I must say it is one hell of an expensive build late game in an early part of the league, think I am about 50-70 exalts into the build.

I wondered if you did all the end game bosses with your standard league character. Maybe you could put those "credentials" on your guide too to show it actually works :P.

Hi. I feel like sometimes my damage is insane and sometimes my damage just isn't there. I'm opting for the more glass-cannony build. Am I missing something obvious in my build (I can invest up to 5ex atm), or am I just not using Call of Steel properly?

Loving the build so far though

Heya! Glad I was able to help! And yes, since there is no easy way to craft in this league, we are in a seller's market situation in which good items are rare to come by and are coveted by a lot of players(actually made some currency earlier in the league crafting clusters and selling them). I'll try to make some guides on how to craft the basic stuff for the build in order to help people craft their mid-budget stuff.

Regarding the credentials thing, I killed all the bosses in the videos with my character from last league when it was still ritual league. Actually went through almost all content(didn't go for uber atziri since she reflects and I didn't want to invest into a setup only to kill her). Even killed some delve bosses I had openned up with my zHP icicle miner. I don't really understand what you mean by credentials, maybe post more videos killing other bosses? I'll update the guide soon since I'm getting a day off work soon. If you could explain what you meant I would be greatly thankful so I can implement that in the next update.

Thanks for replying! Have a great one, buddy! Sorry for my bad english.

Hi guys, the first of all is my first time here in PoE, this game is crazy as fuck, im enjoing so much.

Now thx for the guide, is so good explain, but here is my ASK/QUESTION maybe is someting i am missing probably because im new, but when i compare my PoB (https://pastebin.com/xW3cwb3V), when some of your PoB in my same stage of the game "early mapping" T5 the DPS that u got is near for a million or 2, and my DPS is not near 200k... where it comes this big difference if we got the same passive skills, and the same weapons...

I would be very grateful if some can take 5 min looking my PoB and explain what im doing wrong...

Heya! Take a look at the configuration I did with your character in PoB, those are the boxes that must be filled and and checked to see your damage.
Also, I reallocated some passives in your PoB and swapped some thing. Try getting the following upgrades:

https://pastebin.com/a704W2Ab

-The moment you decide to respec some passive points to allocate the ones I changed in your character's tree, you'll have to get your resistances capped again, so that should be your priority;
-You need to finish both the 3rd lab(Merciless Labyrinth) and uber lab one(Eternal Labyrinth) ASAP! You're missing on a lot of damage and survivability because you didn't finish those yet;
-Swap your Eternal Life flask for one of Stauching(Bleeding immunity) and sawp your Sulphur flask for one of Heat(for Freeze immunity);
-Swap your Summon Lightning Golem gem for a Summon Ice Golem, lock your CWDT in level 16 and get your gole to level 17;
-Swap Slower Projectiles Support for Lifetap Support in order to not have mana issues;
-Get a Pride aura with at least 20% quality(the quality in this aura increases its range of debuff);
-Get a Blood Rage instead;
-You should be using Sniper's mark against tough enemies and Vulnerability curse only against packs of mobs(you may even place your vulnerability in the ice golem CDWT if ya with to not have to cast it yourself frequently;
-You're playing as Deadeye currently, do not get Frenzy charges nodes in the passive tree since you'll not be stacking frenzies without either a crafted body armour with frenzy charges on hit or a Anomalous Blood Rage;
Try getting crafted jewels with life gained on hit, increased maximum life and at least one increased damage or attack speed mod and swap your Poacher's aim unique jewel(you'll see that I reallocated the passive points and allocated a jewel socket);
-Swap your Mana flask for a Diamond flask of the order with at least 75% increased crit strike chance during flask effect;
-Get a Dying Sun Ruby flask and swap your quicksilver flask for that;

Following those recommendations your damage should skyrocket.

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

Edit: Let me know if the Pastebin link didn't work.
Edit²: Try to buy all the the gems with max quality and, if possible, max level, you'll have a great damage increase by upgrading your gems. Don't need to do that to immortal call, ice golem nor cast when damage taken.
