[3.1] The Azure Knight Raider (Flurry/F. Blades/Life/Crit/Conversion) (4 min Shaper run)

Right now this is my gear. Got cloves wiht first corrupt :).t15 maps goes wiht right modes pretty ok. Now question what stats i need for claw it for really be notable upgrade. 330 pdps are about 100c but for it to have that crit and speed what you wrote they cost alot more.

- From what I can tell, your fire resist is your highest one? If that's the case, then you aren't getting much of a dps boost from The Wise Oak. Your resists are high over cap, so you might want to swap The Wise Oak for Atziri flask anyway.
- Uber Lab will help with both defense and offense, try to do it in the near future :)
- You can swap your 47 Intelligence amulet for one that has a lot less if you use lower level Frost Bomb and Vortex - their level/damage isn't relevant, we only use them for Chill and resistance debuff. This way you might find a better amulet with more life or damage (like added Physical or Crit Multi).

This is what I would do first, to improve your stats and performance with a relatively low cost.
With regards to the rare claws, important stats are:
- Crit chance at least 8.0%
- Attack speed at least 1.7
After that, just compare the prices per total dps.
For example, a 300 dps claw with 8.25 crit chance and 1.74 attack speed would mean around 17-18% more dps then your Wasp Nest. These are around 100-200c at the moment by the look at poe.trade, so it is up to you if it is worth it (sometimes you can get similar increase if you just upgrade jewels or rings, and might be cheaper). A 330 dps claw with same other stats would mean 30% more dps, for example.

Thanks. I will do that. i am using wise oak only in ele weak maps and missing one trial still:8.

Any other options for a chest?

Hi, thanks for the build. I need your advice. It seems offensive part of my character almost the same as in yours reference build, but my damage is hundreds of DPS not millions. What could I improve? Thanks.

Several in fact, but you might need to drop Arctic Armour if you don't use Perfect Form. Queen of the Forest, Belly of the Beast or Lightning Coil are all good armours, and even a cheap corrupted 6L will be fine for a lot if not all content. Especially since prices of Breach uniques are quite high at the moment, which I didn't predict back when I wrote the guide in 2.6.

I looked at the PoB pastebin:
1. Jewels. Luminous Cut and Foe Shard are fine, but other 2 should be upgraded - I'll use Foe Shard as a replacement for my pastebin.
2. Flasks. You aren't using Lion's Roar (around 12-15c atm) or Atziri flask (very cheap).
3. You are using Touch of Anquish, which became terribly expensive with 3.0 and Frost Blades becoming meta. You can get very similar dps numbers with good rolled Wasp Nest, and upgrade your rings/amulet with currency gained from "downgrading" to Wasp Nest.
4. Frost Bomb setup is also very important, its a free -20% cold penetration.
5. Once you get Twin Terrors notable, your dps will shoot up by a lot as well.
6. You've almost reached Thick Skin notable, but didn't make use of it. Unspec 2 small life points by Revenge of the Hunted and put them there for 14% life instead of 8%.
7. Get Twin Terrors instead of Lynx and Artistry.
8. Point 3 again, your jewelry and belt need an upgrade, especially since you are able to afford ToA/Abyssus/Perfect Form, there is no reason why your rings/amulet/belt are up on the same level.
9. Select 6 stage release in PoB, not just 6 stage. 6 stage release is the dps when we release BF

https://pastebin.com/uZQwMVvu <- I've took the liberty to add some decent but still easily achievable rings/belt/amulet.
Without 6L - 0.93 million against bosses.
With 6L - 1.28 million.
With Taste of Hate addition - 1.46 million.

Keep in mind my gear from posted pastebin is quite good, jewels especially, so if I put Wasp Nest instead of a rare, remove 2 jewels, Taste of Hate, my dps against bosses drops down to 2.13 million. If I remove Shock (which was changed, and I didn't update the build/pastebins with that change in mind), it drops down to 1.42 million, which is very similar to the pastebin that I updated.

So, most of the PoB difference comes from the gear, Blade Flurry mode selection and some minor node tweaks.
I know that "enemy is shocked" should probably not be selected anymore since the Shock changes, but I didn't have the time (or energy) to properly update the opening thread. Difference is small if you want to compare the performance to the videos I posted, since I almost never used it in any of the videos (mainly because I forget about Lightning Trap gem).

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation!

All guardians down wiht 5 link but using starkonjas and immortal call. I had very big problems wiht abyss. Wiht abyss got phoenix and hydra down but chimera and adds juts deleted me.

Impressive! :)

Personally, I find that Chimera adds aren't as problematic as long as you don't rush to them in a straight line - their projectiles or charge attacks will miss you as long as you "zig zag". Took me a while to figure that out, lol.

Once your dps is high enough, you can just whirl from corner to corner and simply one shot everything coming out, that's when Abyssus really shines :D

Stupid question maybe. You said Doyani is BiS for offhand, but it is not a claw, & base on

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Blade_Flurry

the skill alternate between 2 weapons when dual weld. Wouldn't I use bous from the claw passives using non claw like Doyani or what do I miss.

Thanks.
