question:
what is the best way to get empower lvl 3 early in a league?!

In the Darkshrine leagues, you can sacrifice crit multi items for a chance to gain 20% quality for some item in your inventory. Thus, it's easy to get a 20% quality empower in Darkshrine which will halve the leveling time.

Nonetheless, it still takes quite awhile to get to level 3 even with 20 quality.

1 more question:

is there any setup we can use to boost our single target (boss) DPS?!

trap with something? or vaal skill?!

anyway to deal more dps while the cloud does his magic?!


also:
this is my tree atm : lvl 67


was wondering what should i get next?!
i cant rly afford good jewels...i have like 5chaos xD
my PA DPS atm is: 4500, was wondering if it was good?!
using a 5L+2 bow with:
PA/Conc effect/faster proj/slower proj/inc AoE

any improvement i can make?! i still feel 4500 DPS is quite low for my lvl

Link with Increased Duration; yes, it's for the shock effect.

Hey, how do you get enough intelligence and str to lvl your gems?

Strength comes naturally from the tree once you head into enough of the life nodes (a lot of which add strength). You shouldn't need any on gear.

Intelligence is mostly from the tree as well but you will need some on gear. I think I only needed +9 to get it done.

EDIT: For leveling, until you transition into those aforementioned type nodes, take Primal Spirit. It's +20 str/int and will keep your stats up until you can move out of it.

Hello, Many thanks for the nice build. am having problems with the gems and what to go with.

Am lvl 85 i used to have tornado shot on this char but i have reset the skill tree and want to char builds. if any on can check my gear and skills if i should change skills.




And here is my skill tree


many thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Max,

I use this Build i the Darkshrine league, so i might be able to give you some tips.

First of all (depending on your budget) try to either 6L your +3 Bow or buy a 6L and transfer your PA Combo to the bow. The Cloud-DMG significantly profits from the +3 boost. Second I would loose either IIR or IIQ gem in your 6L combo and replace it with inc AOE.

The next step is to optimize your cursing. like written in the guide either use a CwDt + Vulnerability + IC + ID Combo, or try cursing manually. Either way you need a Vulnerability gem which means you gotta lose Enfeeble.

My gem setup looks the following atm:


Note that i am leveling another Poison arrow in case corrupting goes wrong and Empower offslot till i finally get a 6L.

For further infos on gems look into the "Gems & Links" section of the guide which would be a good start to begin with.

Regarding your skill tree I would recommend reading the "Level 89 Tree and Analysis of Why We Go Jewel-Based" section of the guide.

Edit: I forgot to mention that you shouldn't wreck your 5L if you are not sure to get either 5L or 6L - but that should be taken for granted...

First, thanks for your reply dmo. You pretty much covered most of what I was going to say.

The one thing I'll add, just to avoid any possible confusion, is that it's better to transfer the PA setup to the bow immediately, regardless of whether it's 5L'd or 6L'd. Not only do you get the +3 levels from the bow itself but Empower also gets the +1 benefit, making it four additional levels by socketing the setup in the bow.

The dps increase should be roughly around 6k just by making that switch alone.
