Do you guys think I could multicraft some damage and +2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems in this staff? I did check PoB and my dmg would increase a lot, but I don't know if it's worth it or if I should wait until I got a better base. Sadly, a high-end base with +3 level for Arc is way too expensive for me atm.



definitely not worth it,

You can't multicraft it you can just craft +2 to level of socketed support gems and if the relevant affix open ( i didn't check) then you need to make it 6l which is not worth.

I would suggest you to buy 6l agnerod west and move on until you make a decent bank and buy a 6l shaper base ilvl 85+

That looks like a 5 affixx item. i don't think you can multicraft it.

The low level affixes are a bit discouraging, yeah. I'll probably wait until I get some more currency to try for a better base, then.

It is a 4 affix item, actually. I checked, of course, and the lightning damage in the staff comes from the same prefix. I could try to multicraft it, but like I said the low tier affixes are a huge let down. ;/
@Enki91

watched the videos you have posted, and in the Uber Atziri one you seem to not be running with Three Dragon's, is there a good reason you dropped it from the build?
If it is four affix than there is no reason to multicraft at all sincs the multicraft itself uses up one of the affix spots so you can craft only one real affix on it which you can do without the multicraft as well... Only 3 or less affix items are candidates for multicraft, so you either annul things off the item and hope for the best outcome or start with a white item roll with alterations until you land good prefix + suffix, then regal and hope for the best - if the regal result is bad annul or cradt suffix to prefix with einhar if you landed a shitty pretty suffix and hope for the best, if still bad result you scour and try again from scrap.
If i have zealotry from items, what gem can i use instead? I feel like i have enough mana for some nice support for heralds with lv1 clarity
I got kinda lucky with my annul and 6-linking and ended up with:


Therefore removing the low tier mod.

With this the Staff is left with 1 prefix and 2 suffix, meaning I should be able to add double damage while focussed and the +2 to support gem. I think that now it's worth it?
@Arkaneful
Less gearing pressure. If you don't need it then you can of course spec out of it.

@Ela1n
Crit Strikes is nice for Herald of Ice, otherwise Enlighten to improve mana sustain.

@cheeriomonster
I've put lots of thought and testing into this and Three Dragons is simply the best solution. We keep full effectiveness of all Lightning Penetration, can use our entire damage instead of just a smaller part for freezelocking bosses and it even has 30% allres, which allows us to get other powerful suffixes on gear while also being able to cap chaos res.

@Zestrenocya
Could be interesting. Does a very large Thread of Hope hit it?

@xerospl
Not useful in any sockets for us, sell it.

@huhpro
Focus

@Dspayre
Only Warstaves can roll +1 Level to socketed Gems and +2 Level to socketed Lightning Gems.

@Fenris1970
Doesn't matter much. Second Lightning Golem means you may get the mini-Wrath more often, Stone has a slightly higher chance to taunt.

@aayla_
I got a Demigod skinned on my Three Dragons.

@gbsfrts
Double Damage while Focussed is a suffix, you already got two and multimod is another suffix. What you could do is check if the (I assume) temple mod blocks spell damage + gain nonchaos as extra chaos, if not then multimod + that + +2 support.

I crafted this crazy weapon. I tried to craft +3 lightning for very long time and while trying for it I hit this weapon and decided to keep it. I have one more prefix to fill I have couple of options

First: Adds (4–13) to (159–168) Lightning Damage to Spells

This is flat lightning boost and nearly as powerful as lvl14 added lightning damage support

Second: Gain (14–16)% of Lightning Damage as Extra Chaos Damage

This is quite crazy in terms of chaos damage can be better than first one but not sure

Third: +2 to Level of Socketed Support Gems

Switch added lightning damage support gem with lvl 4 empower and play like this. This is again nice but I will need another 6-7 ex investment to empower and I will be switching a gem not sure it's worth it or is it going to give more damage then the other two option.

Lvl 20 added lightning support gem is giving 21 to 402 flat lightning damage.

lvl 21 to lvl 26 arc difference is 80 - 450 flat lighting damage very small difference.

I will try pob to get exact numbers but I couldn't find all the affixes on pob so I want to get @enki and public opinion idea about what to craft next

What should I craft on this after scouring the cold dmg suffix? I was thinking global crit multi and crit chance to spells / when near rare/unique enemy. Any other ideas? I'm worried about cast speed because of mana problems.
