Not sure what to do honestly.

Get some anger crafted opals for extra BIG DICK

Edit: as of elder, maybe go MoM?

Love the build.. quick question, under gear details you have this:

"For your jewels, you will want to have 5 rare jewels with Life, IAS, Increased damage. The 6th jewel you would ideally want the unique jewel the Watcher's Eye with the affix "Damage Penetrates (10-15%) of Fire Resistance while affected by Anger". This jewel is a significant damage increase."

But the PoB pastebin has 5 jewel slots, not 6. Am I missing one somewhere?

This build goes from roughly 2M Shaper DPS to 1,3M(1/3 dmg loss) which isn't very devastating. People have a kneejerk reaction to absolutely everything. VD still super strong.


Perhaps I could still use some more practice with PoB but no matter what I do I'm not seeing anywhere near 1.3m shaper dps.. I'm showing 452k on berserker, 749k on a similarly geared scion. (swapping atziri gloves for the jewel)



Average hit which is going to be anywhere between 60-100K depending on gear * the amount of balls we spawn a second(16, old number was 24). In PoB with the gear currently showcased the average hit per ball is 75K, so 75K * 16 = 1,2m, old DPS was 1,8m. It's possible to increase this significantly further with the inclusion of some of the new Shaper affixes(Pen on amulet, CDR on boots and belt).

Volatile dead is missing 1/2 gem levels. Opal rings crafted with Rage essence are incredibly strong. Pen enchant on boots is also very strong for bosses.

Other than that, your gear is looking pretty good. I'd focus on learning the mechanics on Elder since that might be your bottleneck.

Thanks for notifying me about this error, it's fixed now! Also drop IAS from jewels it shouldn't be needed.

Hey ejon, i have 2 questions, im not sure if you missed my question earlier, im sure you're a busy person just like everyone else.

Question 1:

when i've got my charges up, due to frenzy ofc, im at i think 3.73 or some sort APS.
When i get hit, due to ascendancy, my aps goes to 4.17.
As you said, id like to try and stay just below 4 aps for best procs. Is it just something we're gonna have to live with? Cus id rather not replace my starkonja.
i'd also like to note i do not have any speed increasers on my jewels.

Question 2:

I noticed you made your character tab private. If there's a reason for this, then no problem. But i liked being able to follow the progress on the author of the builds character.

If you dont mind id love if you made it public again. If not then its also cool :3

Once again, thank you for the build. Just hit 85 and farming T14's. Still without kaom and acuity.

Love you bro


1.

Shaper rares has an affix available on belts and boots that gives cooldown reduction. With this it will entirely remove "dead attacks"(attacks where nothing procs), allowing you to go over 4APS and not have to worry about up-time loss.

2.

I feel like I'm at a point where my gear doesn't change very rapidly, so I could put my profile back on private. I haven't upgraded my gear for a while now, what it's on OP is what my current gear looks like.
How can this build survive in ele reflect map mod?
I just faceroll until found this map mod.It looks like this build can't go on ele reflect map mod or I did something wrong?

Thanks for the answers tho. Keep up the good work on the build!

Just skip elemental reflect, without instant leech it's gonna hurt. If you have to do it though, try out pantheon reduced reflect damage and a Sybil's Lament.
For the Helmet enchant nerf, what sort of links for unearth would be good for mapping/bossing? Something like cremation?
