[3.19] Donkster5' LS Champ - Still great! Leaguestart to endgame SC and HC. Updated 8/18
" If you don't have Farrul I'd recommend socketing Static Strike + Power charge on crit + Cast on Crit + Wave of Conviction/Onslaught And I used to run blood rage for frenzies for a while, but not a huge fan of blood rage on this build as any degen just wrecks you and blood rage can just speed it up. Also, I saw your gear, your Claw has really low local attack speed which is bad and your gloves - aim to get some cheap Strike skills target 1 additional nearby enemy with life/res (they are not that expensive anymore) and then you can swap out your ancestral call for Inspiration support.

How do you all do with boss fights? I can kill map bosses easy because I usually have 2 VLS charges ready so they melt, but I tried A8 Sirus and it was not even close, I tickle him. I know my claw is not great, but I feel even with a mirror claw my damage would be ass vs Sirus/Maven.
Not even sure what I should upgrade next. I'm out of currency, but if I get a good idea on what to upgrade I may be motivated to continue playing. I'm just burnt out. The build is great for maps even now, but boss damage is just garbage without VLS charges - and some of them like Vaal Temple/Sirus/Maven I can't burst with only 2 charges :( Been up for too long so maybe I'm missing something, any ideas on what to upgrade next if someone has time to look at my gear/tree/jewels? Also, chaos damage is a HUGE problem, don't think I'll have the space to squeeze in chaos res on top of all other things I need on the rares lol. P.S. I still love the overall feel of the build and I know I can get 21VLS, awakened gems, farrul corruption, better gloves, blizzard crown etc. etc. just not sure what's the best upgrade for me. Tried putting some things in PoB but I never get EVEN CLOSE to 2+m per projectile dmg as the original PoB Donkster5 posted :/, my damage only increases a little bit...

Hey, Thanks for answering. I know my claws are slow, 250edps etc, but honestly finding better claws is terrible in terms of prizes. I will work on upgrading gloves, belt, claws and shield later on, to be honest actually Im at tier 11-12 and I have no problems at all, sometimes I go slower then I want to at bossing, but I enjoy this gamestyle so far. I will get myself pair of gloves later on when I login. Thanks for advice!

Hey, any suggestions on what to upgrade next for me?
please note i'm playing your SOFTCORE version :). Enjoying the build, DPS is a bit lacking for clear overall, rares taking a while to kill at T10 etc Also why does degen fuck us so badly??? Is that chaos resistance? My healthbar can so easily just start melting Last edited by Nevzat#0411 on Oct 31, 2021, 9:09:12 AM

" Without looking at your tree and crit chance, etc, I identify one big thing… your claw has no attack speed. That is uber important on this build. It is both a MORE dps modifier and provides a big survivability boost due to life on hit, etc. Basically, the weapon has two important pieces, attack speed and flat ele dps. Everything else is just bonus. Degen shouldn’t be a problem so long as youre attacking unless your resistances aren’t great or your attacks are really slowed down by chilled. Here is my claw and i’m melting T13/14 ~Donkster5 Last edited by Donkster5#6461 on Oct 31, 2021, 3:19:10 PM

Thanks, I didnt really attack speed was important just EDPS :)
my skill tree is very different to yours though is that because i'm playing the softcore version? does it look alright to you? https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Nevzat/characters Last edited by Nevzat#0411 on Oct 31, 2021, 5:38:26 PM

" You picked my PoB from a few pages back instead of Donkster's. That tree was made before the league started and was more intended as an attempt at keeping things close to the 3.15 tree. I apologize for the confusion I caused with that link. Edit: Nevzat messaged me and we're fixing his build. Last edited by Khrozis#1016 on Nov 1, 2021, 4:00:42 PM

Hi,
Shield in offhand looks usefull for resistances, extra evasion etc. Is there a world where we dual wield claws? I'm not sure how dmg is calculated when using two claws, but a second claw with crit multi and inc ele dmg with attack skills, does that not boost damage overall? |

oh shit lol, well it's not awful!!!
I thought that was Donksters tree can't believe i've been playing a wrong build completely. I've still been having fun with it regardless and haven't died as much as i normally would.. so at least thats something! I think he may have quoted you or something so it looked like it was Donksters post Last edited by Nevzat#0411 on Oct 31, 2021, 8:30:19 PM

Hey.
I need some help. I really love that clear speed and build overall, but when it comes to bossing like Sirus, Elder, Maven etc... I feel like i deal no dmg :| Ofc i managed to kill all of them, but ffs i just tickle them ( to death :D ) . So.... can someone explain me why in PoB ive such a low dmg ? And my single target dmg is kinda prety bad. Clear and def is decent. I rly need advice what to upgrade next, or what to change on passives. here is my current pob: https://pastebin.com/0pEgeSQt I know - enchant on helm is trash and useless, flasks are trashy aswell. I didnt change them since i went to maps so... :D yeah... but other stuff i think is pretty decent, but i feel ive no dmg on bosses. Thanks ! //Edit Pob not working for me. If u can, just check my profile characters. There id only one champ in Scourge Last edited by fragus#3605 on Nov 2, 2021, 12:52:47 AM
