Yhank you very much for your advice! I change some nods please check https://pastebin.com/xd1Yjyem

now its 24?

Yep looking much better. Build is looking good now.

Thank you! Could you tell me about the charms for gloves and boots? Which ones are better to take? Is it worth putting "10 el. penetration if not kill" on the boots instead of the "attack speed after kill"?

IMO penetration if not killed is better... because the only time you need the extra DPS is on Pinnacle Bosses and thats exactly when that kicks in.

Hi, first of all thank you for the guide!

It's been a blast so far but now it feels like I've hit an extremely high wall...

I can clear most things but dying pretty often and occasionally run out of portals here and there. So far I've spent around 15-20ex but it still feels like I'm way off the numbers with that investment than I should be.

Currently at 12 fuses and 2.5m ignite dps and I'm unsure of how to get those numbers up.

Any suggestions on what I should upgrade and/or work towards upgrading?

POB: https://pastebin.com/qMaGRSxh

Gear:
- EA 15% Atk Spd enchantment on helmet
- 15% precision atk spd watcher's eye
- Atk spd % eldritch implicit on gloves
- Atk spd % on quiver
- +1 to all gem amulet

Tree:
- Odd choice of pathing to the right side past elemental equilibrum + cloth and chain (15 points wasted)
- Get better cluster jewels:

.Large: Bow + bow dmg over time (Martial Prowess, Tempered Arrowheads/Devastation, Calamitous)

.Medium:
12% burning dmg (Smoking Remains, Wasting Affliction)
12% totem dmg (Sleepless Sentries, Ancestral Echo)

- Remove rain of splinters, massive dps loss and since only 1 arrow per totem will stack the fuse

- Take up the Ash, Frost and Storm node (with 40% ailment effect on Ele mastery) and even the duration node opposite if you still need more time to cap your fuse

- Jewels are massive dps gains for this build
.Double dot multi + faster ignite for raw dps
.Atk spd with bow + combination of above / hp

Bought this for 45 chaos what a joke.

Hi, this is the second straight season for this build, and I love it. I've picked up and implemented lots of improvements from the discussion and suggestions in this forum. I do have a couple of questions.

In trying to calculate my ignite dps I get two different answers based on the numbers source. In my POB ( https://pastebin.com/tUUFWXj2 ) the numbers look like this:

1.95 x 1 x 6 x 1.43 =16.7 or around 52 m ignite dps

Using the attack speed listed in my character profile of 3.01 I get 25.82 or around 72 mill dps.

Not sure which figure is correct. Would prefer it to be the higher hee hee; if so, I might be able to drop my attack speed a little in favor of something else.

I added the smokescreen jewel; do you think this helps much ?

Also just found 2 exalts and an immortal card ( 5 ex ) in a dunes map so can afford upgrades if you have some suggestions.

They should be exactly the same.

Make sure you when are looking in game you have Explosive Arrow selected.

I just imported your character into POB and I see:

2.15 APS x 100% hit chance x 6 totems x 1.45 duration = 18 fuses.

Also, for comparative purposes you also need to ensure you have a boss selected in POB (otherwise your numbers are inflated).

So I see 18 fuses and a total Ignite DPS of 13.9mill

I haven't looked into your char in detail, but saw on the tree your Impossible Escape. Remove that. It's totally not worth it. Get a regular life jewel if you need the life and the critical multiplier does nothing for our build.

Hope this helps.

First off, thanks a lot for this build, came back after years of not playing and i'm having a blast already even though my build is not finished yet.

My main question is, how can I run all the auras? I've got Enlighten 4 and as you might see my Precision is way too high (easily fixed), but I still seem to lack a LOT of reserved mana. Any other tips are also greatly appreciated, but this is my main concern for now. Thanks in advance!

Small cluster with rmr that has uncrompomising passive (determination has reduced mana reservation) all the auras are 21 atm, and also has room if i corrupt them to 21 level (will be 22 from the amulet).

I got a new bow with attack speed. This raises my AS to 2.42 in the POB, which means 20.8 EA, and a single ignite of 185,927 x 20 = 23.5 mill the way I read it. My char spec says AS 3.76, no idea why they are different. Also got rid of Impossible Escape, was using it for Hired Killer, but probably too high a price to pay for the node.

Now, I'll try to make some more adjustments.

Thanks for the help.

I am able to run Determination, Purity of Elements, Grace, Precision, Dread Banner + Enlighten 4 on my chest with Soverignty nodes + 15% reservation mastery and using Impossible Escape to take Charisma.
