@Damier,

hi, tried once uber, didnt manage to pull it down, because i got hit twice by oversoul's ball lightning, ran out of portal..

I'm a Scion, berserker/Assassin, dropped my chain for Pierce gem to get the more damage from the gem and i think it works quite well, not too sure if i should take down the cwdt IC which only last for 0.4sec(although it worked good as a reminder for me to move around), but bad thing is, i ran out of socket for frenzy.

current dps sitting at 73k LA, 57k BR.

can you please give me some comment on my gear, gem choice and tree below?



Gear
Spoiler


Tree


So aMIgolala,

As requested.

First of all, your numbers seem to be very alright for Uber. Depends on your HP ofc. as well, but usually with 4.4-4.5 you def. should be able to do it smoothly. I dont use Frenzy for Uber.

However, For Double Vaal i suggest taking a topaz flask with you. For Trio and Atziri herself i use Basalt and Quartz.

Concerning your Tree: As i mentioned in the previous posts Dodge is superb. For real, after picking the 3 dodge nodes after Acrobatics made everything so much smoother and safer overall. So you might want to concider that. Also you might want to pick at least 1 or 2 Frenzy charges. The easiest way for that would be removing the projectile damage from the ranger and maybe 1 crit multi node from scion or the 4% ias 10% proj. node from ranger as well which i however concider to be strong.

Concerning your Gear

Weapon: 6L obviously, Rolls are fine for now.

Chest: You might want to try to get higher Life/Resists overall. Don't focus too much on Evasion, since it's entropy based (look up the wiki what i mean by that). Your actual Chest is fine if you dont feel like resists and/or Life are the issue for you right now.

Gloves and Helmet are alright, if you rather feel like struggling with single target DPS then you def. should stick to the BR enchant rather than going with the LA one. However, since you lack the enchant and the deadeye ricochet node you might want to concider picking Chain again over Pierce. Being Berserker should actually dont give you any troubles with mapclearing.

Gloves: As already mentioned previously couple of times, Facebreakers with +1 to all gems are insane if you already have some solid critchance(Oh and they should be 3B1G or 4B in terms of sockets if you concider to get some). Other than that, i dont see any reason to upgrade yours for now.

Belt: Solid Life, good (T1) WED roll, 64% Resists. The Resists are a bit lackluster, but for now i dont think you will get a good upgrade for cheap.

Boots: Solid Liferoll, 30% MS, 100+ Resists. You will want to have T1 Life (80+) with around the same resists in the future. However, i dont think your boots are the weak spot for now. The enchant is really the best one for Uber btw.

Quiver: Try to get a quiver with Samelife or slightly Higher (80+ for T2 or 90+ for T1), 30+ WED, flat lightning damage around 1-2X (can be T2 or T1) Crit Multi and Critchance. Or if you cant find any with that budget, try to get at least 3 of those damage stats alongside the Life. Attackspeed is a nice to have stat which you shouldnt stack heavily since we already run a low manapool and the Attackspeed just makes it depleting faster. However having the iAS on the boots with the "have killed recently" enchant is good since it's for clearing anway.

Rings: Pain Gyre is actually solid, Blood loop is alright already, you re missing the combination of both damage stats on both of your rings (Flat lightning damage and WED 31+) 3rd priority is Life alongside with Resists which you need to cap yours. Dont focus to heavily on getting a diamon ring base, it is a nice to have.

Amulet: Well the base is bad again and you will have to juggle around as soon as you choose to upgrade your gear. However the stats it has, are actually really solid (good Life, High Crit and Multi and the crafted lightning damage) It's missing WED obviously to be quadfecta but at least the lightning damage suffix is not completely wasted.

Conclusion: Overall it will take you some investment to upgrade your gear, i havent seen your jewels, which also provide a huge boost towards DPS. Dont forget that resulting issues with INT in case you try to swap some slots can be solved by jewels as well for the time being (or simply a talent point with +30 Int)

If you got any further Questions, feel free to ask :-)



Hey, 1st of all, a deep bow for ur advice, thank you!

Why? You got Manaissues with your current pool? The Manareservation of HoT and Wrath doesnt increase with level. Only the int. requirements increase from 155 to 159 from 20 to 21, 21 to 2x doesnt have any impact on that.


Yes it does, I wish what you said was true. But empower's mana muplier has 135% at level 3, the + 1 gem from glove does not have a mana multipler.


Poison gem was really good, test it on normal atziri, she just melted in couple shots. Quickest atziri fight ever.
If I go first, I'll wait for you in the other side of the dark water.

The only problem I see with your jewels is the fact the affix "critical strike multiplier with lightning skills" does not affect Blast Rain at all, since it is considered a Fire skill.

Your lifepool is fine.

From my knowledge, Empower's mana multiplier is the same at all gem levels, 125%.

6L ideal chest setup - Blast Rain + WED + Conc effect + Poison + Added Lightning + Void Manipulation


replacing Added Lightning with Elemental Focus gives about 10% more DPS and Poison still works, do I miss something?

If you use Elemental Focus you can't shock anymore and you lose a crazy amount of DPS.

I somewhat thought the empower 1,25 multiplier wouldnt end up to be that bad. Anyway, glad you figured that Poison is strong :-)

Thanks for helping so thoroughly, Damier!

I know, a lot of the other posts you adressed to others apply to me as well, but I'm just not really sure where I should start upgrading my gear. What needs replacing the most and how to go at it, you know.
Would you mind taking a look and telling me where to start? I feel like I really lack defenses, but it could also be because of the pretty low level...

@Bundesheinz.

If you ve read through the previous posts you actually already should have an idea of what i m gonna suggest you to look for :-)

If you re okay with running lab you can get a propper helm (Lightning arrow or Blastrain, w/e you feel like) and boot enchant (12 iAS for Mapclearing, lightning damage if you HAVENT killed recently for Uber).

Weapon: Nothing, at some point you could divine it if you wish, i dont see the necessasity for it right now.

Chest: Same Life, more overall resists, slightly more Evasion. If you feel like you have enough life, you can reduce the life you woud want to get here and get more resists to have an easier time finding propper jewelery.

Belt: Your Belt's stats are good, look for exact such one but a propper base (Leather or heavy belt)

Rings: You re missing both damage mods on the rings, means T2+ WED and Flat lightning damage. Rings are a good source for these exact 2 damage mods, as an endgear option you can look for an open suffix to craft critchance. However, focus on getting T2WED, At least T4 added lightning damage (which is slightly better than Elreon's craftable damage, you can also look for rings with an open prefix for life or added lightning damage). Life is also important as are overall resists.

Amulet: Very good Added lightning damage, low WED, good crit multiplier. There again, you want to juggle around for what you need and what you want to boost. You feel like you got enough Life/Defense? Get Quadfecta(WED, Added lightning, Crit Multi, critchance(craftable)) You could even go quinfecta with all the above mentioned + crafted chaos damage. Thats hard to find though. Anayway, you got Trifecta with low WED and some Life, seems good to me.

Boots: Try to get 30%MS, same Life range and 100% overall resists.(Enchant!)

Quiver: Again, Trifecta or Quadfecta with life, depending on your budget. For Highend you re looking for 90+Life, 30+WED, x-2x Lightning damage indicating T1 or T2, 30+ Multi OR craftable Multiplier, 30+ Critchance. Mind the tiers for that, which you can check on poeaffix.net!, Also you can juggle around with the stats and even fish for a Quinfecta with attackspeed, that will be hard to get though.

Helmet: Enchant!

Gloves: As for the rest, your goal are +1 to all gems Facebreakers with 3B1G or 4B. Dont be afraid to buy non linked or even lowsocketed ones since Vorici 8 can socket _and_ link them for the cost of vaal orbs equal to the jewelers/fusings needed. (For example 4 fusings 4 Vaal orbs for 4 linking) - At least thats as far as i know

Also: Level your gems and try to get some good jewels :-)

You're right, Vorici can modify even corrupted items' sockets, colours and links.

I just did it on my boots! Btw, the correct price for 4-linking is 5 fusings + 5 vaal orbs. :)

Anyone got advices on what I should try to upgrade next? (playing an assassin shadow)



Hey Damier, any advices on my gear?

Thanks


Hallo Gorrath,

You are on standard so your itemiziation can be quite different to ours since you have access to legacy items (like your maligaro's, quiver and amulet' crit multipliers are). I dont know how the stats compare to each other precisely, so testing it out will be your task on this.

Anyway, some of your slots are simple to comment on and are the same as previously mentioned in other posts.

First of all, i dont see a real reason to use Qotf, it's a nice to have if you can stack incredible amounts of Evasion. Other than that, the life and the overall resists on it rather blows. You could think about getting a good assassins garb with 100+ (or even T1 with 110+) and 100-120+ Resists instead, any evasion above 1k is bonus. It will make it easier to get a decent lifepool and juggling your resists while choosing/gearing other slots.

Quiver: Your Quiver seems strong to me due to the legacy Multiplier. The base is terrible, as are The Life(roll) and the fire damage. If you happen to run across an affordable spike point quiver (Crit base) with the forementioned stats in my previous post i think (i'm not 100% sure) you will get more damage. I can lend you my quiver on std. so you can compare the stats to yours:

This is what i could share on std. with you to test it out:


Boots: Get T1 Life (80+), 30% MS (MS is crucial for us) and 100%+ overall resists. Also try to get the iAS or Lightning damage enchant depending on what you want to do with the build.

Rings: Damagewise they both look solid to me though Blood loop is missing the flat lightning damage, HOWEVER, try to get rings with 31+(t2) or 37+ WED(t1, goes up to 42), flat lightning damage life and solid resists. Mind the craftable options as mentioned lot of times already.

Amulet: Phew, thats a hard one again. Yours got decent life and Multiplier, Rest is meh. If you re on standard and you can get your hands on a legacy version or a normal version of a quadfecta amulet WITH life, you re more or less in a sweet spot. Again i can offer you to try out my amulet i transfered from Talisman to standard being


It has no Life but the 4 Damage stats you'd want.

Belt: Your resists on this one are strong. The WED is very lackluster, in terms of life you def. still get somtehing better. T2+WED (31+) should be the minimum you want on your beltslot. Life is second priority. Note that strength also counts towards life. The total possible Life on a belt is 40(base)+ 99(T1 Life Maxroll) + 27 from T1 Strength.

Your helmet got the Lightning arrow enchant, you can try to take out Chain in that case, it will HEAVILY increase your damage per projectile which makes harder maps and mods easier to counter. I dont see your ascendancy class though to really make a statement about it.

In case you want to really start gearing up, this is how you should proceed:

- Get a Chest piece as mentioned above, try to get as many resits as possible (And 100+ Life and some Evasion)
- Get Boots with as many resists as possible (alongside with 30%MS and Life)
- Note the resists you re missing
- Start searching for options and try to juggle the missing resists
- if you come across an option which leaves you with - say - 4% fire resist missing, try to counter that with a jewel instead for example
- Keep blessing the implicits of your items in mind

Hope that helped mate.
