Hi there,
having a lot of fun with this build but it feels like I've hit a wall. T14 bosses kill me way to often and my damage feels weak. Any recommendation would be much apreciated.

Stay sane!


Edit: PoB https://pastebin.com/yVwdL9Eq

you need to change the amulet for something with more Critical strike chane/multiplier, life and flat physical damage (there are some turquoise amulets on poe trade ), optimize the damage getting a good rolled mark of the elder, get the cluster jewels if u havent them already,And get blood rage 21/20 Asap.

Psdt: Get a bloodseker with 30%quality and at least 200dps

Thanks a lot. Did it and nearly doubled my damage. Life is still shit but I can go brrrrrr. :)

Hey guys,

Kinda new to the game. I tried to follow the guide to the best of my ability. I'm at the point where I'm kind of stuck though. Can do t11 maps, but anything beyond that is a hit or miss with being 1 shot. Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. Have about 5ex to work with.

how u can selfcast assasin mark (27 mana) with 17 unreserved?

What stance do i use for blood and sand/flesh and stone?

Also , is the cluster jewel part of the late game min maxing or should i start building towards it early on?

Ended up using ideas from both POBs: A and C.

To anyone running this build in Heist I have basic doubts that you can answer because unfortunately GGG Forum doesn't let us search in a specific thread.

1. We have taken "Dazzling Strikes" in the tree shouldn't we get some mod like "blind enemies on hit" somewhere to take advantage of this?

2. By using "Brutality" we lose the chaos damage from "The Warp Nest" Claw is this ok? If not what is the alternative to "Brutality"?

3. "Pulverize" seemed a nice option for map clear was it abandoned because the results were not good?

4. Is it ok to use "Herald of Purity" instead of "Pride" until we get -15 mana Chest?

5. It's ok to leave "Precision" level 4 forever?

Thank you so much for anyone that can clear these doubts, loving the build!

I am no expert in PoE, but I believe I can answer your questions..

1. When you're in Sand stance (with Flesh and Stone active), nearby enemies will be automatically blinded (if they're inside the sandy circle), thus it will trigger this passive. On top of that, Dazzling Strikes itself has a "10% chance to Blind enemies on Hit with Attacks" so you don't need to procc it yourself, it will eventually happen.

2. Brutality gives a massive boost to physical damage and works great with Impale. You could technically use a different support gem, but your physical damage would go down considerably.

3. I think the AOE is pretty good even without Pulverize. On top of that, Pulverize slows down your attack speed, which I believe is counterproductive especially to claws which hit very fast. Remember that you also gain life on hit so the faster you attack the better.

4. Yes, it's perfectly fine. I am using that right now myself, because my Enlighten gems are only at level 2. I could fit a Pride in there, but then I'd end up with like 40 mana which is pretty tight to work with.

5. You can level Precision to a higher level as long as you have enough unreserved mana for other skills.

Any suggestions? dmg while clearing feels so low. But bosses goes down pretty fast
