No problem, the hardest part of this build is constantly managing the pob and all these different stats that affect bleeding, you need 1 original pob, 1 testing pob and then 1 pob which you follow as an example. constantly ticking boxes and importing items and its an absolute nightmare :D

My next upgrades as of now will be:
Awakened or 20% increased on all my gems,

getting some good flasks(I still use 1 from level 60-70),

getting Enlighten support gem to try and see how the mana with auras are( I ditched Pride for Malevolence)

getting a 6 link belly of the beast(around 500 more life)

getting a giga dam axe with 60% chance for bleed to do 100%dps

getting The Surrender(very very expensive 8 exalts shield idk if I won't get bored before getting it)

get to level 95 and maybe slot another bleed cluster like Rend or Wound Aggravation

here is my current POB if you want to inspect some things( Malevolence is disabled currently as I ran into some mana issues otherwise gives 15% more dps)

Edit: Update, I bought Enlighten level 3 and with the Pride, Malevolence, Blood Stance + Maim, I have only around 80 mana left, you will need a constant mana flask during a boss or you can switch malevolence(15% dps increase) for a war banner which takes only 10% mana for a 7% dps increase. This is the biggest min maxing thing iv ever seen, I played BL Miner in Harvest and all I cared about was buy armor buy wand and you are done

I feel like I've hit a wall with this build, anyone know how I can increase my dmg? I can deal with survivability later but I really don't know how to boost dps. Here's my pob, thanks. https://pastebin.com/BPEVLjKz

Cool build man. I'm leveling right now. I especially like how you show the orders in which to take nodes on the tree when there's a fork. I read the post in the replies about using perforate and switching to EQ at 28. You said you were still working on the guide and I love the updates. I think leveling gem set ups would help draw in some newer players and boost your audience if you're looking to promote the build.

Hello guys. Decided to make a small youtube video where I kill Primordial Pool and Veritania level 81. This is to showcase how the build plays without using bow and ensnaring arrow.(cluster jewels used are: Master The Fundamentals, Exploit Weakness, Rend x2, Compound Injury, Wound Aggravation)

Using ensnaring arrow can drastically increase your dps, but if you are like me and you just want to tank and be lazy and still kill relatively fast(not mathil fast ofc, and not ball lightning miner fast)

Get a new axe with high physical damage, yours is 206dps compared to mine 376dps (thats 32% dps increase, the 60% chance to do 100% dps is useless if your base physical damage is super low)

get a Herald Of Purity ring to replace Essence Worm(another 13% dps increase)

Don't use Pride, remove it and put a Maim Support on your Flesh And Stone(another 8% dps increase): Herald Of Purity + Blood Stance + War Banner

Get a ring with Vulnerability On Hit(another 10-15% dps increase)

also try to cap your resistances and get at least 4.5k life. you can't do dps if you are dead

Made 2 changes for this fight:

1) Put a Level 8 Clarity. Default mana regeneration is around 13 with clarity its 29. Mana went from 296 to 167 but its a lot better for a fight where even if you had a flask, it can run out of charges since there are no mobs to refill it

2) Replaced a 7% life increase Jewel with another that gives me Immunity to Corrupted Blood and 8% dps increase:



hope these things help you with the build :)

What do you think of adding
Beacon of Madness with 20% double damage chance ... and starting it just on the big hits..

tldr: get yourself vuln on hit ring or be prepared for major zero dps and depression

here is my gear

I think a Jack, the axe will give you a major DPS increase. Your axe has the 60% for 100% more damage, but tiny base damage. A good jack has the double maximum damage of your weapon, + all the boni.

If you use the aura, it's a flat +45% to bleeding damage + some healing. So a jack should be a round about 70% damage increase for your current setup (if you hit the 40% chance for no double damage your weapon does less damage than my act 7 leveling weapon found on the floor).

Any advices, what's next on my shopping list ?

I was thinking of getting a CoH Vulnerability ring (and it will work well with malicious intent annointed on my talisman (didn't plan to, but I guess it will be nice to have).

I start to lack DPS vs conquerors, I'm sad. Where do the big upgrades come from ?






Ok, when checking the original PoB, and activating ennemi is moving + adding lines on my weapon for exerted attack and fist of war, I'm at 7M dps. It doesn't feel like 7M DPS, although appart from the conquerors, I'm progressing through the chore that is the atlas just fine.
