Any reason not to use Hrimburn over Hrimsorrow? I see you have the latter in the PoB so just curious if cold igniting is an issue.

Edit: Also wanted to say thanks for the build - having a lot of fun with it! (past the horror of non-chained SST levelling...)

Literally no reason, ailments damage is poo anyway :) Thanx!

Do you have any videos of mid or high mapping process?
Tried SST on jugg, but completely gave up on 50 lvl, due to very clumsy gamestyle
even with Ewar's Mirage as statstick, despite of quite good base damage, I've struggled with

quite slow shield projectile flight
requirement to aim to enemy

Am I right that chain (for shield, and pierce (for shards) are mandatory?

How different is the Elemental build from the physical? I've only used a handful of Physical builds in the past, and mostly been a spellcaster, so not sure how conversion and stuff works without seeing it for myself or having it explained better.

Edit: @Angry Did you link me the Phys or Ele build in PoE Planner? I thought it was phys at first, but then I saw Elemental Overload, so now I'm not sure which one it is, haha.

Elemental build mostly use elemental damage, convert phys to elemental and use skill gems that buff elemental damage as well as physical damage. AFAIK elemental damage "double dibs" a bit, but it's hard to explain:
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Damage_conversion
Getting physical damage in conversion builds automatically "buffs" your elemental damage.
Most of the time conversion builds do slightly higher damage than phys builds, but of cause suffer from Ele reflect maps and ALSO phys reflect maps if you still have some phys damage left (like in this build).

i think i linked you ele version

Ah, thank you! I'll take a look at that link!

Also, what links did you use for SST? I can imagine some of them, but others are questionable...

Don't know what you are talking about. The only node with a weapon specific boost is primeval force; and it only applies to the elemental penetration which sucks, but it's still worth picking due to the high elemental damage u get allong the way.

I found the guide really helpful tbh, I was struggling trying to figure out a way to make SST work since its scaling seemed so underwhelming and so far this has hit the spot. Single target damage is still an issue but nothing too bad so far on mid tier maps. Don't know how this'll translate into higher tier maps; but as long as I can do all the content using SST I'll be more than happy.

Besides the obvious boost from getting better shields as you level up I found that Hrimsorrow gave a substantial dps boost

I'm not completely sold on the potions though. I don't get the chalice and kiara's use.
