hey chemist,

u corrupt the essence worm (inc wrath effect) in your BIS-Tree. this does not work, or i'm wrong?

corruption does not always remove the socket. It can have a multitude of effects.

If corruption adds an implicit i'm almost sure it will 100% remove the socket.
The only way to have 2 implicits on that ring would be:
- Double corruption from temple. But I don't think you can get 1 socket as a corrupted implicit.
- Take a non-unique unset ring, craft "items sells much more to vendor", chance it to make an essence worm with the 2 implicits. Then vaal the ring and hope it keep the socket implicit and replace the other one with wrath effect... so yeah, technically possible but very unlikely someone get this.

Very nice job on the new POB Chemist. Very impressive how you've managed to get almost 200M DPS without sacrificing survivability !

PS: you can unallocate MoM from the tree since you use cloak and re-allocate Supreme Ego -> 212M dps

What about the helm enchantments? Should i get the 40% blade blast or 15% additional mana spent (arcane cloak).

the one in the PoB is what you would use, which is area

Why do you use increased BB AoE instead of increased damage on the enchantment?

edit: also your GG PoB doesn't have Supreme Ego skilled?

bb aoe is a much bigger upgrade because it allows for more overlap, blade blast damage is incredibly subpar and is the last gem you should get to 21 due to us scaling archmage.

supreme ego was a mistake, ill fix

Hello! Could someone give me a little help?
I'm plaing this build, currently red maps, I even managed to kill some guardians already.
I imported my char into PoB, did the essence worm fix, and still, it tells me I have only ~400k dps @10 blades.

What am I missing?

Also playing the car is good, but I lack some damage at big bosses. It's really a struggle to fight with them and not get to 0mana.(because it takes a lot of time with my current dps)

So could anyone help what could be my mistake in PoB (https://pastebin.com/eTc6JSep)?
And how to improve my DPS?

Thanks! :)

Edit: I found the second post, now working towards the final version of the build :D thanks!

Doesn't it gain 1 radius from 20 to 21? So more overlap

Yes, level 21 Blade Blast is extremely important as well.
