Hello! Thanks for sharing this build. I like it and play on it, but i cant understand a style of fightning while using LS and COS. Can u explain in details how to use skills? I googled "impale" and now i think i shouldnt call of steel after throwing them on a boss.


Just some steps while u killing...Drox? for example.

1) Totem, call of steel 3 times
2) blood rage
3) movement skill
4) what next? Stay close to boss and use lancing steel? What to do after spendind all of 12 shards? Call again, come close and throw again?

Im weak for now, but it can be cause of my unknowing how to use that.. Please help me =)))

This is my pob code.

Heya! Thanks for replying!

Unfortunatelly Lancing Steel requires getting used to, since you have a lot things to keep up and track of, those being Steel shards, move skill if using beltimber, totem, Blood rage.

You need to use Call of Steel to keep you steel shards up and maximize your dps, don't be afraid of using it since it deals all the impales' stored damage as an AoE reflected damage, you're not really losing damage, it even helps with clear.
I'm currently killing drox really quickly, and that's how I approach boss fights:

-Use Call of Steel to set up my 12 steel shards;
-Place my bestie Ancestral Protector;
-Use Blood Rage;
-Cast Sniper's mark;
-Use my movement skill to proc Beltimber's mod;
-Attack Boss Thrice;
-Repeat skipping steps if something is still active(totem, curse or BR);

I saw you're using the Offering to the serpent already, i suggest going for large clusters ASAP to gain the most out of those beautys. Also, try getting a second Beltimber Blade while you still doesn't have a The Saviour, will give you a big boost to dps. Remember to allocate Forceful Skewering asap to get a big damage and impale chance boost. If you feel you're having trouble with bossing, drop the vulnerability in the CWDT setup and start to self-cast a Sniper's mark on bosses. Just by simulating those things I told ya, you're getting 5 million sirus dps using your PoB.

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

Finally got to maps with this build, destroying everything atm.

Just waiting on my 6L and buying some jewels for belt

My resistances are low though, only 30% or so, think my rings are lacking res but they give -mana

What do you think about petrified blood and lowlife and getting free overleech and damage that way?

Edit: also is there anyway to apply snipers mark besides self cast?
