How much damage and ehp should you have with this build to attempt some Über-something?
I now killed pretty much every non-Über boss. Mostly with so much damage that I didn't even need to pay attention to mechanics. But I don't want to spend a lot of money on trying it if I am going to fail anyways. I am sitting at 11M damage for über pinnacle bosses and still at 51k ehp. |

" I see you at more than that, both damage and def (mostly def) You should be fine trying uber cortex (unless bad rng giving awful modifiers on him). See how it goes there, he's an easy one. Then, it's also about the fights. For example, uber maven is really easy if you master the mechanics. EAb crafts info : https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-post/25179328

I like that build. Especially with an extra arrow implicit on a bow.

" Then there's something wrong with my configuration in pob. 11,3M is what it's showing for me when set to über pinnacle. I set it to that because I've been beyond the 35M for normal pinnacle ones, so doesn't really show me anything there anymore. Normal Maven was actually pretty easy. But I think for the buffed up version I can't skip the mechanics with damage I guess. Last edited by Vacoh#5746 on Feb 24, 2024, 1:25:01 PM

Even approaching maxed-out build the harder Ubers will still one-or-two shot you. Its mostly about killing them quicker so you don't need to dodge for as long.
If you have the skill you can kill them all with inexpensive gear. But you still need to know the fights and have reasonable twitch-skills whatever your gear. You can't face-roll much beyond Uber Cortex.

First time posting. I kind of understand the game after years of playing, a large hiatus and now back. Tried my best this league using this guide, and i cheated a little bit at times looking at the maxroll version. I am currently happy doing T16 maps usually, and with 3-4k wisps i will die a bunch, but usually can complete the map just fine. Working on "gitting gud', so some of it is me. I just feel squishy and my progression is totally capped. I have points allocated to extra accuracy / hit chance on the tree, those could go somewhere else, but that will drop my # of fuses. Clearly i am missing a key aspect of the build. One thing i fixed after posting this was my lightning resists, just flipped fire to lightning on the amulet. left over from a recent change.
https://pobb.in/9xSzx__hJCKG is the best i have build it so far. Have 4-5 div left, maybe 10 if I can sell a bunch of stuff i don't need, and it currently takes me too long to get more currency. i feel my bow and quiver are great. I know i can improve on amulet and ring. I probably have my skills all jacked up now, but don't see which change would make it significantly better. Damage output is decent. I think i copied the POB link correctly here. I am reaching out to the forum gods because I just don't know how to improve anymore. It may be that the little changes left for me to do are just too expensive at the moment. I am hoping to understand what changes i need to focus on to be better, and better understand the game for the next league. Anyone willing to take a look? I will take any advise you are willing to share. I also read the previous couple of posts and see some things that may apply to me as well. This is as much a request to get better now, as it is to just be better prepared next league. Last edited by Thavith#2935 on Feb 25, 2024, 3:32:40 PM

Firstly - don't be disheartened. That looks about right for Level 91. TBH I'm surprised you are "happy" in 3-4K T16 maps. I wouldn't have been so happy at L91 trying those.
If you are dying, then your priority should be levelling. You probably aren't ready for juicing T16s and can still get good XP from more level-appropriate content. Wiser heads will no doubt give you more detail, but I'd say: a) I can't see your atlas tree but picking the "Wellspring of Creation" keystone made me a lot less squishy when levelling, at the cost of a little clear-speed. Your DPS is plenty for levelling. b) As a project, work on getting more life. Your helmet and chest have no life so you are going to have to work hard to find some with your other slots. c) I'm a fan of combining Defiance of Destiny and Death Rush for levelling. You should swap a charm for one with "Chance to cover rare or unique enemies in ash on hit". That way you can swap Polaric Devastation for Death Rush. The ring and amulet are about 100chaos each (without checking); the charm less (or just keep checking primal huntress in the wisp-wood). Minor observations: - The hunter glove are nice, but you are missing the flexibility that two eldritch implicits would bring. I'd get a pair with attack speed and high-rolled life. - Projectile damage and fire-res penetration don't really do anything for this build. So no use from the charm or gloves. - See my earlier list of charm mods to perhaps prioritize while you work on killing the King of Mists in his citadel and getting the third slot.

Awesome. Super helpful. I have one of those charms, so will switch that out today. I will find wellspring of creation. Your comments about dying and t16, and being level 91, made me realize I die way too much. I will focus on some leveling for now. 3-4 more skill points might help. I may come back here to figure out where to put those for best effect.
The gloves are nice but I learned something very important from you :-) hopefully that will help during this league, but certainly next league as well. I will build a new pair of gloves. The other comments gave me a bunch to ponder. Much appreciated as well. Cheers! |
