Here is a link to a long ago build. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1023736
I didn't link the gems. Not sure about readability as no one commented :p.

What does it look like if you copy paste your thread? I was wondering if you could copy paste into a new thread with more room.

About your puncture section; it is my understanding that for non-trap puncture you want to add in pierce.

I'm also not sure about the maths behind trap setup. Is increased crit damage out classed by slower projectiles in a 6L?

Puncture - trap - ippd - point blank - trap/mine damage - (increased crit damage or slower projectiles)

Congrats on finishing the thread. I know it takes a lot of effort to make guides like this.

Think for Pierce I stayed away from it in Puncture because of the "More" multipliers that we have now. It can be nice but I lined up a Pierce straight into the reflect clone once and never did it again.

The Trap Setup with Slower Proj (and Trap and Mine) mainly replaced the two BB gems (ICD and ICS) because it's more raw damage, but also because when you have optimized Crit with 4 Power Charges, you won't need ICS for more Crit Chance, and a More multiplier will out damage the Increased Crit Multi that ICD provides.

The next chance I get I want to cut down on the sections and smooth it out. Realized how much of a mess the optional nodes are in the Skill Tree section, and some other stuff. Also need to add in some key points that other user have recommended a well.

Here's the hope people read through the Gem Links section a little better so they can create their own understanding.

Definitely more of a "free your mind" initiative.

Even with 3 power charges, "more" multipliers (trap, etc) offer much higher DPS boost than ICS.

.

Have a little bit of insomnia so I'll wrap things up here.

Didn't expect it, but due to real life issues, I am taking a long hiatus from the game.

Thanks to those that have read through this and provided feedback. I am a little disappointed that it didn't seem to get that great of reception, even if 99% of the questions in other/similar threads (Neversink's) seem to be basic questions about Gem Links and gear. I suppose it was confusing from my perspective that new players had to stare at Reduced Mana linked to 3 buffs in Patch 2.0 or tried to go into Atziri fights with PTL/WED.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Such is life.

What is/was the OPs dps?

What do you think how is accuracy really important for the DPS exept the tooltip when you have 85%+ or 90%+.

90% is enough in 99% case. Though, tooltip may be a bit tricky, as it shows your hit chance against average level 77 NORMAL monster. higher-level monsters, champions, rares and (especially) bosses have higher evasion, obviously, so your REAL hit chance may be different from what you think. You may consider that when farming Uber-Atziri, for example.

Testing in Tabula Rasa ive cocerned that when having 70%+ CC, it is more profit in DPS tooltip using:

TS-GMP-FA-PPAD-SP-ICD (GGGGGB)

than:

TS-GMP-FA-PPAD-ICS-ICD (GGGGBB)

and using PCoC with 4 charges will not compensate it.

Why do you use GGGGBB?
