Hi Serleth

I have question about gem order.
On your Gems & Links section you right down:
In a +3 Bow, we use Poison Arrow - AoE - Conc Effect - Empower - Slower Projectiles - IIR (in that order).

Why this order? I thought order is not important/no matter


Not as in "clockwise" order, but as in "as you gain more links, add these gems" order.

So in a 4L you'd use PA, AoE, CE, Empower. When you get a 5L you add SP. When you get a 6L you add IIR.

EDIT: It's not a question I get often, but I get it often enough to warrant having edited the OP to make it more clear. =)

Hi Poisiny:

Your characters are currently hidden. To help you, can you please set your character settings to public?

To do this, on the menus for this forum select:

HOME-->My Account

On the page that next appears, uncheck these boxes:

Set profile as private (this box is probably already unchecked - leave it this way)
Hide Characters tab

Note - once you do this, everyone will be able to inspect your characters. If you'd rather not do this, reply and I'll let you know how to link your gear/tree.

Thanks.

To link your gear, first click on the "SPOILER" box at the top of the post edit box.

Next, click on the picture of your character at the top left of the screen. This will take you to a page which shows your character. While on that page, single click on each item in your inventory that you want to post to the forums. When you are done, hit the "Esc" (escape) key on your keyboard - this will return you to your post.

Next, click in the post edit box somewhere below the two spoiler tags so that you can post your tree.

To post your tree, click the "SPOILER" box and then click the "URL" box. Then, click on the large picture of your character once more.

Once on the page which displays your character, click on the "PASSIVE TREE" tab to show your passive tree. Scroll down to the bottom of that page and click inside the "Link to this build" box. This will highlight the link to your build. Hit "control-C" to copy the link.

Next, hit the back button on your browser. This will take you back to the post.

Finally, hit "control-V" to paste the URL for your tree inside the url tags you created above.

When done, hit "SUBMIT" at the bottom of the post box.

@gorasul6

Much of this build, or any build in POE, is a matter of personal taste. At first blush, it looks like you've made a good start.

My personal preference is to include a DPS gem in my 5-link setup and cull with flame totem. Use of the flame totem increases survivability and the 5th DPS gem increases DPS somewhat.

So I'd drop Item Rarity and replace it with Iron Grip in my bow (will need to recolor bow to do this) and then I'd set up these links somewhere:

Flame Totem - Faster Projectiles - Culling Strike - Item Rarity

Your flame totem will be quite squishy until it levels a bit, but once leveled it's very tanky.

But some people don't like the flame totem setup and it's not a huge deal either way.

Other than that, I'd save up for an Andvarius for my next purchase and then either a second Andvarius or drillneck.

Don't worry too much about DPS - DPS will pick up a ton once your PA levels all the way up and it will really shine in a 6-link alongside Empower.

Edit: I prefer the Goldwyrm Nubuck boots as a source of quantity in lieu of the rather crappy quantity gloves/belt (crappy because of lack of stats). But the boots are really expensive. I'd probably get an Andvarius first and then the boots.

Yes you can. The average is about 80-120 alts.
