Hey Guys!

Wondering if I could get some tips on what to upgrade change to get those magically 60k dps with lightning golem and wrath. got about 10k ES and 44k dps atm.

My first league so havent really got a qlue what im doing past t14 maps, tried dark forest a while back and got absolutely stomped by the boss. I bet someone better at the game probably could make this work though.

How do you guys survive with slower projectiles at bosses? At what point am I supposed to be able to face tank them?

And my claws how important is the life leech per hit?(vaaled them my self not thinking lol)

Thanks for all the tips in this guide really helps a new player out!

Your level of gear is more than enough to clear all content with ease.You must be doing something terribly wrong if you die to t15 bosses.They should die in 1 sec.Watch some yt movies and read on wiki to get a hang of their mechanics.

And if you want to hit 60k gmp tooltip, it requires you to get t1 int and wed on all pieces of gear possible and probably tweak your tree as well( can't see it since your account is private).Get 21 gems,the 40% dmg St enchant on helmet,+ lightning damage/pen enchant on boots and 4 mod offensive jewels.

The best way to min max your build is to learn how to use path of building.There comes a point where you need certain items tailored specifically for your character.

But for this build in particular, gearing for damage is pretty straight forward. Just get all the int and wed you can get and you are fine.Eventually you will reach the ceiling.

Any ideas on how Point Blank would be usefull to farm things like Uber Atziri and Shaper?

Dude, what's wrong with you? 44K dps is absolutely enuf to farm Shaper if you switch ya GMP to SPS =) I've tried to facetank uber-A once but totally failed, Shaper was a piece-a-cake tho... NOT. Died a couple of time for being stupid :) Although my tooltip dps is 47,504 with golem and wrath turned on and 81,450 with SPS I see I have a lack of intelligence in comparison to your gear. There're no good opal rings on the market right now and this shit makes me wanna cryyyyyy yeah :D

UPDATE.
Just killed uber Atziri. Wasn't a problem :D

I only really tried dark forest before and that boss hit like a truck, but had a bit less dmg then and could not sustain even with SP, tried again yesterday and managed to kill 3 out of 4 guardians but alas could not finish Phoenix this time:)

I havent tried shaper yet though but uber lab i can solo no problem.

Do you guys run 3 Fertile minds or just 2? Suspect that its my jewels that are not the best atm i got 2 dmg jewels then 3 fertile minds and one brute force.

I'm running three fertile minds and 1 brute force as well.

Also I do have 3 Fertile Minds placed in the 3 jewel sockets that I currently have.

I am level 74 and I got all this gear + 3 Fertile Minds for about 50c. Where is a upgrade needed the most? Ive got about 40c atm. Also I feel quite squishy as I currently only have 7223 ES with 847 Int. Furthermore my sheet dps tends to be way lower than yours - 11152 in Hideout with only Wrath and Golem.


This is my current Tree: https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAIBAAHRAecDHgX5DY0OSBEvEVARgRGWFdcV8BcmGYoaVRslG8gdTx9BIuoi9CPTKjgrCiy_Nbk2PTboQdBDMUZpS65M_04qVP5VhVZjWhpbr13yX2phIWOnbAttGW1sbyd1y3qEf8aExYTvhq6Nfo9gj_qQCpMnlcyXBppqmyabtZ_LoSKiQKOKpcunK6cwr-u1SLe2vea-p8HFwzPDOsSiz93QrdDQ2Vvawd1G53To1ukC6mLrFOtj7BjtP-4O8Yr0-Plj_MU=

I am planning on either going to Elemental Overload or Primeval Force next.


I would very much appreciate it if you could give me a brief overview on what I should be focusing right now and which upgrades would give me the best bang for my buck.

the first dps you have listed, is that with frenzy charges up?

Ok, let's see here... in no particular order (yet)...

- The INT roll on your second claw is really weak.
- You haven't completed merciless or uber lab.
- Your accuracy is likely way too low with this gear. If you swap your gloves for Shaper's Touch, that will be fixed.
- Flasks - drop the quicksilver. All movement should be using whirling blades, so move speed is mostly pointless. You really need a Vinktar's with lightning penetration, that makes the build shine more than any other single thing. Also, The Wise Oak instead of the Basalt, IMO. I'd drop the mana flask back to a Hallowed, it gives you more mana per kill, refills faster, and will still be more mana than you have left to fill after auras.
- Tree - minor, but drop the DEX node between Vaal Pact and Thief's Craft.
- Gems - Grind those main gems out to 20/20. That will make a huge difference.
- 4L your boots and add in a Warlord's Mark. That way you'll auto curse stuff that hits you, and killing them will give you endurance charges to buff your Immortal Call.

Priorities? Flasks --> Gloves --> Labs --> everything else, IMO.

alright, thank you for the heads up.
How good are Quartz Infusion and avatar of the veil anyway? The travelling notes are completetly useless as I cant evade and wont walk that much. Phasing itself also doesnt have that much of an effect, as I can easily dash through enemies with Whirling blades. Only the 40% ele damage and Immune effect are noteworthy IMO.

As for the Shapers Gloves: Do I need a special pair or can they just be some random corrupted ones for cheap? Assuming I dont need a certain gem setup in there.

Unfortunately I only have 50c atm. So getting a 10% light pen Vinktar will take a while as they are 95+. The Wise Oak is also 10c so I dont know if I should be saving up for

Tree: got rid of that one dex note and I am 2 points away from EO now. After I got this, I would work my way towards the bottom right corner to pickup primeval force (taking the 3 12% notes)

Gems: I consider buying some with high level and quality if I can find some for cheap.

Boots: RRRR now with WM, IC, inc Dur and CwDT

All in all I need quite a lot of currency to reach those goals. At least Ive got something to grind for now.

Just curious, but how would Shaper's Touch with Ele Weakness on Hit compare to regular gearing with accuracy? Would that be BiS in any case, or would regular accuracy gearing be better?
