It's really surprising you still reply on here, you seem very committed I think that's awesome!

I'm following this guide for 3.16 and just did the Low life transition at level 88. DPS on packs feels great. DPS on single-target feels pretty... yikes.

It feels really heavy on the glass cannon effect though as well. If a white mob so much as breathes on me it one takes half my ES away. Regen is basically nonexistent once Atziri's Promise runs out as well. It feels super reliant on hitting the enemies first so it freezes them before they can hit because if they do land a hit it is going to HURT and that damage is going to STAY for a while.
Bosses are just... let's not talk about it.

Any way you could check out my items and tree? or give some tips? I've followed basically to the dot on the suggested items in the Low life transition section but the tree is slightly different due to no cluster jewels and no enhance yet for lower mana reservation.

I'll try to catch you on stream tomorrow as well if you're streaming!

(I'll link my PoB as well in case you'd like that:https://pastebin.com/jpVLuipE)


PoBs were just updated with new gem setup and pathing, but also you have points left in from leaguestart you dont need anymore.

You missed the leech node, its right by ghost reaver.

How much ES do you have?

You definitely shouldn't be swapping to LL wearing whispersteps

Im not surprised the damage is yikes you dont have any of the clusters or a 6L yet. Not even the small that gives a massive defense boost.

Wand is lacking +1 spell gem which is massive.

your still running the leaguestart curse setup that doesnt proc on bosses without adds for herald

Do you need the cluster jewels before swapping to low life version?

PoBs just updated with cheaper setup for the transition/midrange period.

You want at least the large and small, medium can wait.

Also the watchers eye is great.

Velyna thanks for the updates :) really like it this far.
this was pretty painful as a starter in 3.16

Your missing most of the things that make early mapping smooth, including the very first thing which is armour bases in every slot including shield.

Next would be leech ring + small cluster jewel for endurance charges and armour scaling.

Theres also a new PoB with better gem setup and pathing.

I love how all these people are complaining about the build being bad but they don't follow the PoB lol

does this mean good or bad?


yikes as in it doesn't feel great.


@Velyna:

Thanks for the reply! That's so awesome I knew the dps was probably due to clusters and the 5L I'm working on those today, but the tankiness was definately lacking. The leech nodes! Ahh!! no wonder!

I'll swap to curse on hit and I'll keep your tips in consideration while upgrading today and take a look at the new updated pob! Thanks so much!

For the whispersteps, it was in the 'low life transition gear' tab in the forum post so I just went with that and figured it was good as the next upgrade is listed as 'gg god tier' kinda stuff so i figured it was fine.

Again thanks for the reply and tips! This helped a lot!
