Any tips for my build? I just hit 90, tooltip DPS for lightning arrow is 135k in hideout when rage hits 50, I had to spec into some mana nodes at the expense of 48% evasion rating + resistances (but made the resistances up in gear) and Graceful Assault.

I find myself taking hits in tier 15/16 maps that take me to 35/40% HP instantly and if I go the excavation I get 1 shot by the things that charge you before I can kill them.

I also still need to run the last 2 points in ascendancy but I get 1 shot in there from nowhere too.

I removed hydrosphere because I had no idea how to use it and it was confusing the hell out of me, and replaced it with portal.

I was finding myself needing mana, so I have a hybrid flask and the quicksilver/jade/granite flasks next to it set to activate when the hybrid flask is used. This way in boss fights when I spam my attacks and activate the mana flask the buffs kick in immediately. I wasn't sure about 'activate when full' because then I could go into a fight where they're not full and have no buffs.

When a fight starts I spam artillery ballista, activate enduring cry/vaal haste/berserk and flasks.

On your tornado shot link, replace damage on full life with inspiration. On your ballista, replace full life with focussed ballista.

You should be able to get away with only the 0.4 small mana leech node.

You need chaos resist. You can try replacing the hybrid with an atziri flask, or get yourself a watchers with chaos resist while running purity if elements.

All your flasks have the same suffix. They do not stack so you're wasting then. Roll attack speed, evasion, and maybe even armor on them. Life leech is pretty useless. Also try used when flask full instead of adjacent for QOL.

You should start to relevel your gems at 20 quality as well. Sell level 20 with GCP 5o get a 20 quality version.

If you're getting one shot, play much slower and keep moving all the time. Short burts, then move again. I personally only used a level 1 flame dash for movement only.

I'm using LA not TS, with Vengeant Cascade anointed on my amulet. Should I still swap the gems?

I don't seem to be able to get away with 0.4 mana leech, I have 163 mana after reservations and my LA is 32 mana per cast.

For the flasks I wasn't aware that having leech on each did not stack - thank you for that, I will change them for sure. I will also trade all my gems for the +20 and relevel them.

For flask full can this not put you at a disadvantage if you reach a boss/unique/shooty boi without enough charges for them to activate? I was relying on activating my hybrid knowing my flasks will always be used at least.

EDIT - I missed the part where inspiration lowers mana cost, whoops.

Hi, very good guide so far. The only thing I can't see included in the guide is how to boost damage item catagory wise?

e.g. Elemental damage %?, Attack speed, Flat physical etc.

What is most important to improve that area?
