You can't level all your gems to 21 and call it DPS. This is silly.

You can get them all to level 21. Here is how:

1. Level them to 20.
2. Use a Vaal Orb for a chance to get them to level 21.

I've also provided the full build that you can import and modify yourself. It's very easy to reduce the level of the gems from 21 to 20 if you so choose. However, to be optimal you should level multiple gems to level 20 and corrupt them to get them to 21. People have been doing this since the introduction of the Vaal Orb in version 1.1.0 on 5 March 2014 (3+ years ago).

Here is a reference article on how the Vaal Orb works:

Obviously. But no one advertises their DPS that way. It's disingenuous.

It appears it is not so "obvious" since you have stated that you "can't level all your gems to 21" and people have been doing it for that many years.

So, have you imported the build and lowered the level of them to 20? I'm interested to see what numbers you get with your ingenuous way of NOT leveling multiple gems and corrupting them to improve your build.

I'm not accusing you of instructing people to do something impossible, I'm accusing you of inflating your numbers in a way that is not commonly done on the forum, misleading people when they compare builds. When you delevel to 20, you lose about 2M DPS.

It's still a very high DPS (if very costly) build. Just no one puts level 21 gems in PoB, even if they exist in game.

I'm sorry to break your bubble, but, people do get their gems to level 21. We've been doing this for years, however, you may have not. People also do use level 21 gems in their PoB theorycraft. It's a progression game, you get your gems to level 20 and the very next improvement is to get them to level 21 by using a mechanic/feature provided in the game (Vaal Orb). If you do not wish to improve your build by not utilizing all of your mechanics available to you in the game then that's your prerogative.

If anything, you are being disingenuous by telling people you can't do something that people have been doing for years. If you want to use level 20 gems, that's fine, but don't go around telling people you can't get them to level 21.

Finally, it's an end-game build and I have provided the build in its entirety (all items, gear, gems...etc) which you can import and play around with. It's to be used as a guide to min/max and improve your build.

Well obviously you wont get that state of mirrored gear, but if you look closely,

Body armour unique = possible

Boots unique = possible

Shield= Will be hard to get high life + spell dmg + spellcrit , but you could look for other es bases and try to get about 100 life + t3-t1 spell dmg and craft spell crit 69% not optimal, but will do.

Main Hand unique = Possible

Gloves= high life with some res

Amulet = Impossible , but could try for spell dmg with ether crit or multi + life and/or strenght and craft the other crit mod

Rings= important stats here are really only chaos dmg% + life every other thing will be a plus.

Belt unique = possible



What im trying to say, guys dont get afraid because he put in mirror gear, its just the maximum possible, nobody said you need to have perfect gear for unbelievable damage, get as close as you can and focus on the important mods.

Should be not to difficult to get to there, and not all mods must be t1.

I like your spirit. And I agree with you. It will do...in the poe builder. I think we should make one more section for theory-crafting builds. It would be a miracle if you reach about 400-500k dps in the real game on bosses. Maybe I'm wrong, but I totally won't spare my efforts for this build. Good luck friend!

While I understand the purpose of a build guide is to showcase how a build performs at its very best, one should also manage his expectations. It is simply unrealistic to expect the majority of people who view your guide attain such gears in your PoB link. I feel an acceptable standard should be held towards your gearing and an exemplary showcasing of your tried and tested character should be the way to go in reassuring your viewers what you propose is indeed feasible.
