Is it good to have Forbidden Flame and Forbidden Flesh with Shaper of Storm allocated?

It's definitely an option to consider. Like Bogdan mentioned, you could then get the other Shaper of Storms or Bastian of Elements. Or alternatively, you could do what the guy did a couple pages back and get an extra curse through Malediction which is a very cool idea.

Personally, I prefer using those 2 jewel slots for other purposes (eg Watcher's Eye, Lethal Pride, or good old regular jewel with good stats.

To bad these build needs so many jewel points, i need to redo the tree for impossible escape tech to get the extra curse from that.

Can I get some advice on like a progression path for items, I hit T16 maps and have been dying too much for comfort, and my DPS isn't high enough to just melt the screen instantly so I'm getting hit a lot more.

Not having any problem making currency I just don't have a way to measure gear upgrades vs each other before I buy them and at this point the big upgrades are gonna cost 10+ ex, cheapest item probably being Unnatural Instinct.

POB: https://pastebin.com/zbqVCgnU
Charname is LOFuse if it's easier to just view on profile.

The numbers won't be right cause I Have done no config at all, but it will show gear/tree.

I went off of Palsteron's guide.

The only decent item you got is the bow.

If you aren't going to be helpful then fuck off. Nobody got time for your condescension.

I just checked your POB. I would think it's your DPS that's an issue and not your defence.

Your defence looks fine (Spell Suppression capped, high armour and evasion, good life pool).

Your DPS is really low though. You are only hitting 11 fuses because of your low attack speed and also low skill duration... so going by my calculations your DPS is only 4.7mill.

So I would go:
1) Unnatural Instinct
2) Respec out of pathing to Watchtowers and allocate those points to Clusters
3) Upgrade Bow
4) Then just upgrade other pieces as needed... probably starting with DPS pieces such as Quiver and Flammability ring

Thanks for the advice

I went ahead and went through PoB and setup everything to accurately show my DPS instead of just ignoring it. I went off of Fyregrass' guide on how EA works.

Revised: https://pastebin.com/C21UEc52

This should show 99% (ha) accurate ignite dps. It changed from about 130k to 6 mil.

Going to do what you suggested and go for Unnatural Instinct first and then clusters. That's gotta be the best bang/buck.

Sorry if sounded like that but think logical please, take a look at your gear and tell me if you have something fire dot, ignite related.

First of all thank you, that thread and your afford you put in it is insane!
I play every other year since 2013 and this build is the first I'm willing to do the endgame with and play past lvl 90, because of how balanced it is.

I started it based of an budget YouTube build, but found your build a week ago, I already make 3 times the dmg the original YT build does and it feels more comfortable than everything I played before - but there still is a lot to improve.

Would love to get advice on what I should do next.
(I have about 4ex and 500c - should I save up some more and go Unnatural Instinct, respec the right side of the tree and go in to cluster as the guy above, or is there something else like changing my skill setup to Awakened skills?)

My POB:

I never challenged an endgame boss, which one is the easiest and at what point am I able to kill it?


Bonus question: My auras are quite different as well, is Shaper of Storms only useful while running Wrath?

So I went up against a few endgame bosses and had expectaions of a really tough time. Most of the fights were over before I knew it. Only died because of some of the unfamiliar mechanics or not concentrating. Sirus just melted as did most of them. The damage on this build is off the chart.

That said, could someone have a look at my pob? I'm sort of stuck at what next to upgrade and perhaps I'm missing something. I see my accuracy is at 95% and yeah I need a few more points so those need to be improved but just wondering what piece of gear I could change up to sort that out. I was thinking the quiver but I'm not sure.Next, how do you increase skill duration? Is a higher number better or worse?

Also I'm curious as to how you guys map your skills and to what keys? I'm following brunowas skill setup.

upgrade your quiver for sure after a quick glance at your gear, duration comes from quality on your EA gem and adding malevolence as well

thx a lot, as a beginner of POE, it's very useful for me
