Switched from FB/MS because it got too stale, after changing a bit and playing around with some jewels this is what I am currently at. I've prefer to use shroud and tombfist 2x.

Damage wise its good enough to do T15ish. Surviability wise its pretty low so I need more life of course. Need more on jewels.

Spoiler


Currently using Inspired learning for fun and using the 4 nodes nearby to make it active.

Currently using 2x eDPS daggers while I'm waiting for a Lyco. I need opal rings and that's one of my next projects.

Also need to work on some new jewels with max life %. I'm also planning on switching to 2x abyssal tombfists soon and been looking for 1 frenzy voidhearts.

Anything else I should be looking for?

Nice bud. Usually I recommend going one of Lycosidae or Rat's Nest, and then getting a rare shield/helm with life, EV, res. Going both Lycosidae + Rat's Nest is a lot of damage xD

Once you add Tombfist and get some jewels with life and damage you should be doing ok. Although I would upgrade your Kraken Circle ring to one that includes life and ligihtning damage/wed if you can.

TIL you can get +1 to Maximum Frenzy Charges on Choir of the Storm

Yes it's really nice, but quite expensive. Other corruptions that are good are inc. attack speed, wed, +1 curse
FLASKS

Core

Diamond:

- This is the highest damage flask you can use on this build. Significantly raises our effective crit chance


Wise Oak:

-Very high damage flask with lightning penetration


Life Flasks:

- 1 or 2 Life Flasks: Eternal with Catalyzed or Cautious, or Seething Divine


Other Options - Damage Flasks

Silver

Onslaught is a high damage boost for this build, especially combined with Raider's Avatar of Chase buffs to onslaught. As such I like to carry one even when I am specc'd Avatar of Chase so that I can try and maintain Onslaught when I need it for bosses. Remember some bosses have few/no adds during phases (Shaper, Atziri, Elder Guardians) so if you can't keep the "Gain Onslaught for 4 seconds on Kill" up you are losing out on damage and you are also losing out on all the buffs from Avatar of Chase for "during Onslaught".


Vinktar's

- Added lightning to attacks
- Light pen version
- Very good damage flask, but remember i) it has only 1 use now per fill, ii) you need shock immunity (i.e. from Raider Avatar of Veil) or unaffected by shock (i.e. from Inpulsa) to use Vinktar's otherwise you will be shocking yourself for 50% more damage taken
- Overall, given the changes to VP now and because Vinktar only has 1 use per fill I prefer not to use this flask


Atziri's Promise

- Very high damage flask with nice bonus of chaos res
- Cheap unique


Sulphur

- Nice damage flask with 40% inc. damage
- 20 out of 60 charges is very nice as well

For your particular setups / preferences - I recommend playing around in PoB with different flask and Onslaught options so you can see which setup you like.


Other Options - Defense Flasks:

Quartz

- Really good flask to get some spell defense since defense vs. spells is the weakest part of this build. This is what I used for HOGM, but ofc is also a good defensive option for PVE


Basalt

- Great flask if you are struggling against phys damage
- Is good to combine wiht Fortify in your setup, or if you are using Arctic Armor (if you are having trouble kiting and want to lower damage when you are stationary), or Kintsugi


Jade

- High EV flask, but uses a lot of charges. Use if you are having a lot of trouble vs. attacks (particularly ranged attacks)


Stibnite

- Blind is very powerful vs attacks, but not completely necessary since we try and stay at range vs. attacks. Use this if there is a boss you want to fight in melee range


Topaz, Aquamarine, Ruby

- Very good if you need to raise ele res vs. certain bosses during Act progression or in maps


General Rolls:

- Reduced charges used or +max charges
- And then defensive options like immunity to Poison, Bleed, Hexproof, EV %, freeze/shock immunity (if you are not specc'd Avatar of Veil), movement speed are all good.

What about Hyaon's Fury instead of dagger ? Will it make any difference ?

Still low level, and still didnt try any of the real endgame content but i must say im enjoying this build and its a blast to play with, it really feels powerful but has a slow"ish" buildup till you hit powerspike and feel godlike :D
Great build man, will definitely watch for your future builds in future leagues (still new so i havent tackled buildin my own yet)

Using Lightpoacher + Shroud of the Lightless + Tombfist

( Total 11 Abyss Jewels + 1 Crimson Jewel )

My Lightning Strike vs Shaper Video: https://youtu.be/HZgk9ixDvHQ

Maybe you can share your profile? Also isn't lightpoacher useless versus bosses? I mean no charges are generated. And it's not clear why shroud is better than say belly of the beast?



Yes, Just wear it to use more Abyss jewels.
Triger Spell ( Spirit Burst ) Not Important.

Life: Belly >>>> Shroud
DPS: Shroud >>>> Belly
Look: Shroud >>>> Belly lol

∴ Belly is cheap and helps to survive.

My Tree: www.poeurl.com/bJSG ( Origin Spectral Throw Tree )
Just Swap Gems (Lightning Strike - Ele Focus - Multistrike - Ele Dmg Attacks - Inc Crit Stirkes)

Weapon: Foil { APS:2.0 / Crit Chance: 7.0+ / Lightning Dmg +@(Crit Multiplier) }
You can use a dagger instead of a sword.
Shield: lycosidae
Helmet: Lightpoacher(2S)
Body: Shroud (1S)
Gloves: Tombfist (2S)
Boots: Kaom's Roots
Belt: Rare Abyss Belt (1S) Res + Life + @(Ele Dmg)
Ring & Amulet: Rare {Res + Ele dmg + Crit Multiplier + @(Life & Crit Chance)}

The most important thing is Abyss Jewels. { Lightning Dmg to Attacks + Sword Attacks + @(Life) }

Other Gems [ (cwdt-immortal-enfeeble) / (Whirling-BM-Fortify) / Bloodrage / Ancestral Protector/ Wrath /Herald Thunder ]

So I'm looking for end game Opal Rings and I've noticed there's a #% elemental damage to attack skills and there's # to # added lightning damage to attack. So for weeks I've been checking the trade and selected the mods

# to max life(Highest 79)
#% Increased Elemental damage with Attack skills(Highest is 41%)
#% increased Elemental damage (highest 25%)
Adds # to # lightning damage to attacks. (Highest possible 6-72)

So far, i have never seen this combination being sold,(my knowledge of prefix and suffix is lacking) so i was wondering that its not possible.

i was wondering which one i should switch out and wondered which would would give me more dps, Increased Elemental damage with attack skills or Add # to # lightning damage.
What do you think?

I think with all these abyss jewels with flat lightning - you can get more dps from % increased lightning damage on ring (which for us is basically the same as % elemental damage with attack skills). 6-72 flat lightning is just a half of abyss jewel (or even a quater). So best opal ring might be -

# to max life
#% Increased Elemental damage with Attack skills
#% increased Elemental damage
#% increased lightning damage

Though you can verify this in path of building.
