Can you guide me to it please? EDIT: sorry i found it - from Gloomfang lvl 77 amulet. costs 2c+ in hardcore bestiary EDIT #2: Why do we take Gathering Winds instead of Ricochet as 2nd ascendancy skill? Yeah it gives 1k eva+mov speed, but Ricochet gives us more AOE that is so desirable to have from early on? I took ricochet and then gathering winds, and it was fine, but the attack speed from gathering winds is pretty awesome, and I am doing pretty well with two chains and the princess sword right now.

But after normal lab you would most likely not have all necessary skill slots filled and also low on mana to spam several skills at once to get more than 1 buff for tailwind. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469	Posted by Angry_Roleplayer#6657 on Mar 11, 2018, 1:41:58 AM Quote this Post

But tailwind should stack up buffs from any skill within last 4 seconds, so if i just stand there using SST 2 times per second will already give me up to 8 (80% speed) stacks of tailwind buff. And between using SST we spam whirling blades so overall it should give us huge dps boost. On practice - movement speed gets buffed noticably whether attack speed stays the same :( Also i have problems with clear speed. only level 65 now but i got a top notch rare shield with 1270 def and 2 ascendancy nodes, 16k dps and comparing to other classes and builds this one clears blood aqueduct (and any other location) like very slowly. If i switch to chain gem i don't even kill white mobs with single attack :/	Posted by aefoa#3559 on Mar 11, 2018, 6:36:21 AM Quote this Post
Hello! I'd love to add ur build to my build list but it contains too little information in my opinion. For me a build guide must contain all important information on its own, without the need to use PoB. It me be a good icea to check eviL_Bison's guide about writing guides.[/b]	Posted by Amongalen#3943 on Mar 11, 2018, 8:31:55 AM Quote this Post
how is SST for single target dmg? How does it compare to the known good single target dmg skills? Ty	Posted by Camaron#6368 on Mar 11, 2018, 12:47:28 PM Quote this Post

If i switch to chain gem i don't even kill white mobs with single attack :/ For each skill = means different skill. Not just spamming SST :) So you need to use a lot of different skills in a 4 second "recently" window to get decent Tailwind buff. And even after that you will only get 10% more speed + 10% increased of this "more" for every different skill you use during 4 seconds. So in general that is 11% more speed if you use two skills. This is how i understand it. This is not THAT MUCH tbh, but still a decent multiplier since it increases everything. I had no problems clearing anything at all, including bosses. I will check your character. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469	Posted by Angry_Roleplayer#6657 on Mar 11, 2018, 1:24:37 PM Quote this Post
" Camaron wrote: how is SST for single target dmg? How does it compare to the known good single target dmg skills? Ty On my personal build rating i would give it around 2/5. It's not terrible like most people say, but there are some problems mostly because of AIMING and projectile speed. it's not a homing missile attack, so you have to aim at the enemy, sometimes from far away. And once the shield reaches the target, the target might move away from original location and you simply miss. So if target is really fast, like a bunch of folks in Iceberg, you run around for a while trying to CATCH EM ALL. :) If boss is stationary or dumb = it's not a big deal. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469	Posted by Angry_Roleplayer#6657 on Mar 11, 2018, 1:29:23 PM Quote this Post

I've lvled this build up to lvl 72 with good gear and here's what i can say: the most unpleasant experience in both lvling and boss killing :/ As i read through all threads on SST builds, this skill is just weak comparing to any other that is ment to be used as a main skill. Sure you can invest lots of currency for top notch uniques but it will still give 1/10 dmg/clear speed comparing to most other skills with such investments. TLDR: weak skill gem as of now. hope to see GGG changing it's mechanics. 26k dps before maps and it's weaker than any other skill due to bad mechanics (aoe) and actual low dps.
