Hi,

I'm a beginner and i've decided to follow this build, thank you it looks great, but there is something I don't understand.

I have Spreading Rot, and i've put it in the first jewel location as indicated but i don"t understand why its there, it doesn't seem to be 40 points in intelligence in the radius, only 30. Is this normal, the description talk about the blight totem applying wither but it cannot there, can it?


Also, in pathof building the radius seems bigger than it is actually, why is that?

Thank you.

The attributes doesn't need to be allocate, as long as the 40 int exists within the radius the jewel is "active".

An easy way to double check this is to socket it and hoover over the edge of the jewel so the tooltip of the jewel doesn't show up but a small window showing what the jewel is doing does. That window will include the extra affect from the threshold jewel if it's active.


TLDR:
Attributes doesn't need to be allocated.

Thank you for your response,

I knew the points didn't have to be allocated, but I guess I was blind because I've checked numerous time and for the life of me I couldn't see the +10 point right next to the jewel (inside the circle), It's after I've checked the window thingy that I realized the points HAD to be there. So Thanks, and sorry :) my bad. Because the circle in path of building looks bigger i thought something was wrong with my radius.

Anyway, your build and your explanations are awesome, thanks a lot!

Hi, it possible change essence drain for soulrend and greater multiple projectiles?
O Damage is reduced? Sorry for my English, I don't it speak very well.

Hi!

First of all, thanks for that great build! Having lot of fun doing delve or juiced maps aha.

I was wondering, since I have some lack of dmgs at high tier maps, is it better for a high investment to go for a bow + +3lvl & dmg multiplier + chaos dmg multiplier ?

For sure the build will be a lot less tanky but otherwise the 6L on body armour could be used for a 6L bane.

Hope my english is good enough.

Cheers'

Hey! I got a bit lost so I asked lots of people about what to do next with my ED Con build, I am a bit off guide but hopefully I'll still get some help from this thread.

I consider I am in a pretty advanced stage of the build but I want to keep improving it. I really want to do a super top tier build! How can I keep improving from this point?

Right now I have about 1.6M DoT DPS, 5.1k HP, 2.5k ES, capped elemental res, 56% chaos res. I've invested about 50 ex on the build and at this point I'm just minmaxing it, hopefully by the end of the league I'll have a multiple mirror worth build.

What would you add or change? I only have two things on my list right now:

1- Fix the goddamn bow, I fucked it up by adding R1 Chaos DoT instead of R3. It'll be 4 ex to fix and I am leaving that for later since I think I could get a larger boost spending those 4 ex elsewhere.

2- Get a helm with +400 ES and +40% increased ED damage. That'd boost a bit my ES, ED and evasion thanks to being a trickster. If I could get some life on top of that, it would be great, but it's hard to find a hubris circlet with good ilvl and the right enchant. There are a few with bad mods out there worth +3 ex and if I bought them, I'd just scour them and start from scratch, so 3ex for just a base sounds overkill. On the other hand, given that there are +2000 helm enchants and lab is annoying as fuck, I wouldn't like to get it myself.

Yes, 100% sure it's waaay way better. A well rolled quiver also makes for the lack of shield and adds up even more damage.

What about using the Corrupted Anoint to massively boost damage, since everything is chaos?
