i've checked you gear and it seems quite good (you can upgrade some pieces but it's ok overall). you miss some cast speed here and there but nothing too important. i've just checked, i have 140% with conc effet without buff, difference must come from life pool, cast speed, better overall gear and higher level.

don't focus yourself too mutch on numbers, upgrade your Doon, try to get the helmet enchant and go destroy the shaper ;)

#Alevisk inertia is weaker than my jewel (less life and DPS) but can be a decent alternative if you lack chaos for good jewels.

#Vemdetta Rippling Thought is not a good weapon for this build, DPS decrease a lot even with a perfect one. Since we use controled destrcution, crit chance/multi nodes are pretty mutch useless too

Been using this version of DP and I want to post a bit of feedback for low income(ingame currency :) ) casualish ppl like me. Killed all 4 guardians with my current gear. It was my first try ever to kill a guardian myself ever since they got added in the game. I run clean maps because I did not know the fights. I died 3-4 times before I killed each of them. Will try shaper later this week. Here is what I learned trying to make this work.

-get farming beforehand and do those chaos recipes to get some chaos. 100ish chaos needed to get this properly started. (with a evasion/es 6link white and not a tabula)

-Start from a 6L chest. By a white one and chaos spam it abit. took me like 10chaos to take it from white to the state it is now.

-get a full cast speed & 60str+ Doon and full str bonus boots. They are cheap enough. Also gloves start getting expensive at 8reduced and under. Go as low as possible. Do not buy one with more than 10% reduced though.

-Try to plan your other gear so you come out with enough resists. You can make it so you dont need Astramentis. Astramentis is there to cover your stat needs and give life and spell damage through Doon's bonus. My next investment is going to be that.

-Going for Sentinel node and the jewel slot above instead of Shaper node is more budget friendly. You lose mana regen but for me its not that noticeable. Maybe you can get mana regen on something else. The 16% more mana is not worth it imo. + more evasion which is something..

Finally *******Your 8 jewels need to be in top shape if you want to see anything barely close to the videos and POB numbers******. Get magic cobalt ones with life and one of spell dmg/castspd stats and regal it. You might get lucky.

Here is my POB stats. I have 600k with the same configuration as OP. https://pastebin.com/ZEgiHTEd

QUESTION: POB Configuration. It would be more realistic to not tick the charges as I have found that Doedre's will not be ready fast enough for 3 charges. Are you getting charges from somewhere else?

can you give me some advice because my damage is very low ty


i can't see you gear/tree your profile is set to private ;)

#benbubam sure, it's a good armor

edit : recorded a new shaper run with the endgame gear :

https://youtu.be/VQSywHt6u8Q

sadly i got bad pre-bosses and loosed 30 sec waiting for them (especially dominus and the spider) so the overall run took 6.42. i've made a sub 6 min earlier this week, i'll try to replicate it in video (if i can get good pre-bosses once again). it's cool to see that you can dash a degen bubble in the bullet hell quite safely with 8.5K life ! facetanking the shaper beam seems safer than ever too. you can do any mistake without dying except taking a slam.


no longer private :)
my tooltip dps now is 50-60k inc aoe and 70-90 witch conc. lvl 19 dark pact
#Parapapam thanks for your feedback !

i see one thing that i'm not agree with in your post, the chaos recipe. Chaos recipe is a total waste of time, by the time you have made 100 chaos with the chaos recipe (counting about 2c per map so 50 map ?) i'll run 2 times more maps resulting in :

- 1-2 exalts
- 100+c worth of jewellers/fusings
- 50-100c value of other currency
- multiple 10C+ value jewelleries
- 100-200 maps
- 1-2 10c+ rare gear piece
- 1 T1 unique usually
- Shitload of exp for the character and gems

DPS displayed in PoB are for mapping situation, i usually run around with 3 frenzy/power charges all the time. against guardians/shaper i can't sustain more than 1 charge usually.

I also have to show good (but reasonable and realistic) DPS stats or players will get tricked by other builds abusing PoB mirror gear/lvl 100 or cheap tricks to bump stats while performing a lot worse than mine ingame (shaper runs duration is a good way to see how a build really perform).

#TheBattleMasteR your gear looks fine to me, sure it can be improved, especially the life rolls on rings/shield (jewels too), but it should be enought for most bosses. try to get 18% strength alberon's warpath, they are dirt cheap. i think you can find a better ring than the two stone one for a few chaos too.

i've made a few adjustement on the gear and tree, i've dumped vaal lightning trap since i forget to use it all the time, instead i've made a 4 link for the wither totem, adding a increased duration to get fast and realiable 20 stacks on endgame bosses.

I only mean it just as an extra thing to do while gathering the initial costs for the gear for ppl worrying about it.

I agree it does not amount to much when you can clear maps fast and easy. In my case, a horder casul player that doesnt really sell anything :), its a nice side income that helped me get that extra chaos needed to get this build started. I still do it out of habit. I do identify things in case something nice pops up.
What do you think about using a The Covenant Spidersilk Robe instead of Belly or Carcass Jack. I know they are better than The Covenant in some way but getting a 6L 5B1G is next to impossible for me and so is Carcass Jack.

I'm using this and I feel okey:

May God have mercy upon my enemies; they will need it.

You can, it's a decent armor but if currency is the issue you should go for a rare 6L, it's a lot cheaper and easier to get and it will be enought (i did mutiple deathless shaper run with a rare mediocre armor earlier).

#_phlv_ nice one ;)

#Parapapam you should try both : run 50 maps your way, doing chaos recipe, write down how mutch time it take and how mutch currency you made.

Now farm my way for the exact same amount of time, pick up only currency (no wetstones, no scraps, no transmute or augmentation), 6 sockets, jewellery and good belts (no chain, no cloth), add zana onslaught to maps that have nice mods (25+ pack size), zana beyond when you have matching mods (beyond on map or sea witches), sextant your maps (even shaped yellow like dunes-oasis-phantasmagoria etc...) when you have some spare sextants.

you can farm maps casually and still be efficient, it's just a matter of deciding how you farm maps. i would be really happy to convert you to some more efficient mapping, difference in currency production is day and night and you can have acces to a lot better gear and higer level characters/gems.
The Guide has been updated to my latest version of the build with various modifications, please have a look to the new tree and small variations on gem links on boots

if you see any mistakes, please let me know !

edit : added a sub 6min shaper run

Ok thx for the answer .

Also njeed some precisions . As u can see on my skill tree , i picked Atrophy node ( near CI ) and this provide me a nice boost atm . Respect those point to get 3 jewels slots is really worth ? Since jewels can rool 12% chaos dmg max + 7% maxi life .

Last question , i was on poe trade looking for gear , and i found some nice helmets ( but pretty expensive ) with 40% increased dark pact damage .

Is there any reason to go for 12% cast speed enchant instead of 40% dmg ?
