Thank you for the guide! I made this my league starter and was able to do uber elder a couple of minutes ago. Not quite without death but still OK. My gear also still has lots of room to improve and I was lazy keeping my mapping ascendancies.




Around 20 ex worth of gears in day 5..

Either super lucky drop or you're rly rly good at making money :/



Selling ilvl 84+ Hubris Circles at 17c each for almost a whole day made my bank - then too many others started doing the same :).

Zealotry seems good but I can't really imagine running it over Grace. I'm sitting around 4.8k health at level 82 and still feel really disappointingly squishy, and after I grab the three Witch nodes near the power charge, I'm kinda... out of easily accessible health nodes.

I kind of wonder if I couldn't spec out of the second cluster of increased duration nodes, save 6 points that way, and grab more life somewhere?

Also fuck me Pandemonius is expensive. How the hell do people even reach Tul so quickly?

And yeah, cosigned the other guy - jesus christ that's some nutty gear for day five. That two-stone ring alone is like... Wat. Aspect of the Spider AND Warlord's Mark on hit? Ouch. But no Vaal RF?


You can craft Aspect of Spider on ring from Beast alter w/o wasting anything/ occupying craft slot.

It's a free craft.

I shouldn't have waste time on that buggy as hell 0 profit Synthesis mechanic back in first 3 days...

Sigh, now I'm forever poor.
Hi there~!

Love this build :)

Why do we use pandemonius and not yoke of suffering (since we also use inpulsas)? Isnt yoke more dps?

Umm, 20% cold pen, 30% cold damage, permanent blind is nothing to sneeze at...
HUGE dps boost and safety measure.

I got the idea from this other high dps WO build:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2305560/page/1

Honestly dont understand how the two compare dps-wise? This guy seems convinced yoke is better !

Just looking in terms of raw numbers... about half the time, our damage will shock the opponent anyways thanks to Shaper of Desolation. Yoke increases damage by 15% max, lowers the duration, and makes it possible to shock more (but not guaranteed; our crit chance is low, remember). Pandemonious gives us Blind, 20% pen, and 30% extra cold damage. In terms of raw numbers this seems to blow Yoke out of the water, without even considering things like blind.

Makes sense

Thanks for taking the time to explain to me :)
Hi there. I'm new to the game and right now i'm playing arc but i have a lot of problems surviving. i'm now thinking about changing the build cause i dont want to play the story all over again. does this build play safer than arc?
