I am not sure if my DPS is where it should be right now.

Here is my passive tree https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwYAAF4DHgUtBbUHHgguDY0OSBEvEZYTbRQJFHUWvxjbGY4fQSLqI_YmiCaVKlsrCi4jMHEwfDIBNj06Qj7PQzFJE0lRSn1LeEz_TZJOKlFHUuxVhVoaW69cQF3yYeJirGqMbIx07XWedoJ9dYJehMWHdofLieCNfY2_j_qTH5OZlS6bJpuNm7WdqqLZo4qly6ebsNiyGbTFtNG1SLcwu5695sLswzPDOsgMyBTPFc96037UI9rB3ajjn-ZY6NbrY-2D7g7vevDV9W_8xf66?accountName=typicalbrony&characterName=they

I have 7 frenzy charges, and then around 7.8K tooltip DPS.

Heres my gear



My next upgrade is going to be +3 bow, but I'm confused if my damage is where it should be, it just seems low for level 80.

Also in regards to my belly, i found it while leveling so i figured why not use it till I have a coil as it gives me like 800 hp :^)

Also I know my links are bad, I don't wanna invest the currency to fix them if I'm just leveling with them


so first of all get empower off your main attacks. re-color your bow to be 3green 1blue and run CA, CONC, Rapid Decay and Void Manipulation. then when you get a 5 link add in slower projectiles. if you get a empower level 3 or above then you can replace slower projectiles with that but a lvl 2 empower is not as good as any of those gems i just listed. if you get a 6 link then you can add in your empower. that should bring your dps up. I am lvl 87 and have a +2 5l bow and im sitting at about 14k cloud damage with 4500 life.

also start optimizing your gear for stats. you need more evasion and better rolls on your resists. you can slowly up grade items and always watch trade channels or poe.trade.


Thanks for the suggestion, empower was not as effective as rapid decay!

i'm currently sitting at 13k tooltip DPS with 6 frenzy charges, heres my gear.



still curious on how you get to 28k tooltip, but i'm on my way!

For those curious, I have 5.2K HP with this setup and this tree

can this be done without the whole MF? would the tree have to change?


This is not intended to be MF, I am just using those pieces because they have life and res on them and nothing else is better (besides a bit more life).

not at all to be honest. just forget about clear times, be ready for 40 min 145% volcano, and dont forget to use frags.
i prefere runing ~100 9-11, it's more time\loot efficient


40 min volcanos is cancerous though. I am more about xp per hour and being more efficient time wise over currency wise. two different approaches and both work!

Thanks for the quick reply Grocery, i wish there was a way that frenzy and caustic arrow could be linked so as you use caustic arrow u automatically get frenzy charges.

Blood Dance is always an option but it will leave you without charges on bosses. Which is why I use vulnerability with frenzy still.

Hidden potential with good magic gear and awesome gems will almost always be the best CA build, it is just very expensive for most people. But I have acknowledged that it will get you the most dps.

Good luck rolling those gems. Also getting the blue gear is not cheap. Look at Dygnity's CA thread, he even stated himself hidden potential gear is more expensive than the standard CA gear.

Those gems have life and double damage rolls lol. That is not cheap. 1-2 ex per makes the jewels alone 3-6ex. For a new league that is not "cheap"
