You can copy and paste items directly out of an item search into path of building:







Then you can compare the item against your other items directly in PoB, before you buy.

Hey, following you build. I suck and I need help. Clear feels bad. Single target feels bad and I am squishy!

Well the most obvious damage related issue is you're lacking any source of cold damage to spells to activate hypothermia (or fire damage to activate cinderswallow). An abyss jewel can give you both at once pretty affordably, the rolls don't need to be high.

If the level and points spent are accurate, you're missing some passives. Do /passives to check.

Vaal grace is huge for helping with defense, try to squeeze it in somewhere. Doesn't need to be max rank, whatever rank you have enough dex for is fine.

You're reserving ~35% of your mana on herald of thunder. It really isn't worth the lost mana. Mana = hitpoints because of mind over matter.

CWDT warlord's mark presumably is how you're trying to fix mana until you can get a wrath mana leech watcher's eye. It works I suppose, but boot enchant is probably more reliable. Cinderswallow works pretty well as long as your clear speed is good enough to perm the flask, but if it isn't, then it kind of falls apart. Cinderswallow is still the best straight up damage flask though, even if you're not able to fix your mana with it.

I wonder if you aren't trying to combine elements of multiple builds as I look at your gear. You've specifically picked up a lightning damgae leeched as life amulet, which we don't need, because this build uses paragon of calamity, and so has native life leech. I wonder also if the herald of thunder is a hold over from a different build?

Passive tree could use a little work. The routing isn't the most efficient, and you've got for example some 10% spell damage nodes that could be 4% cast speed nodes instead for more damage AND more utility.

Spiritual aid is in the build because it gets us righteous army. The passive healing for our golem keeps us from having to constantly recast it. If you want to skip it you can, but if you find yourself annoyed at having to re-cast your golem all the time, you'll know why.

Maybe something along these lines at 93 (once you get your extra missing 3 points):

The most pressing issue is definitely getting an abyss jewel with cold and fire damage added to spells, to activate hypothermia and cinderswallow though.

Cool! Thanks for the reply. I need to redo my bandits, took alira

curiousity did u look the synth mods? anything good for us?

Most of our slots can't really have synthesized items. We use a lot of uniques, shaper items, belt is best as a stygian, boots are best as temple dodge boots.

If you want to use a +gem levels wand to plus up your brand recall, of course you can get a synthesized +gem levels wand to further boost it.

Gloves could have the lightning damage / conductivity on hit mod. They could also have life/mana.

Boots could have onslaught, but since cinderswallow is our best damage flask anyway, I'm not sure I'd give up temple dodge for that.

okay last question for the day

im trying to come up with a way to get a BiS amulet

so if i understood correctly by reading the thread

the best would be either elder or shaper with non-chaos/ pen

so lets say i got either one of those

and i wanted to fossil craft it to try and get maximum life + cast speed + either chaos/pen + anyother thing.. i dont need resistances

so damage would be preferable

how would u recommend

i was thinking aetheric + primatic + metallic?

Can you check my build please?

Been having a lot of fun, just upgraded stuff recently.

My chest sucks and needs work. Should I work toward any specific 6l? I was using a 5l Inpulsa but I swapped for that rare.

My wands aren't crafted yet. I have one that makes my Brand Recall go to Lvl 12 with Empower and Brand Recall lvl 7. Possibly to lvl 13 with +2 to support gems.

I'm trying to get the necklace enchant that increases effect of ailments. Does that mean it increases the effect of shock too? How much does it cost to craft and where do I find it?

Thanks for your build. It took me from level 1 to my first ever Uber Elder kill. Didn't drop anything though.
