1 jewel (medium ring):
Disciple of the Slaughter
Fury bolts
Disciple of the Unyielding
Bravery + 10% increased maximum life

2 Jewel (large ring):
Master Fletcher
King of the Hill
Aspect of The Eagle

Cool idea. However I'm not sure King of the Hill is super worth it.

The left side jewel is debatable, but the bottom one seems pretty good value, I like the idea of having endurance charge generation you'd normally not get.

I imagine 10% life is to emulate nodes left and right of Bravery you can't add to pob otherwise?

I see you skipped piercing shots, how does it feel to only have 1 pierce from quiver implicit? Or do you get extra pierce crafted somewhere else?

Also why do you path like this:


Instead of this:


Saves 2 points that are probably worth more than 10 str, 12 life and 4% all res?
You could pick a jewel slot left side of method to the madness and get more out of it.

Question on crafting a Hunter amulet: In POEDB, the hunter mods we want don't have a chaos flag beside them. Does this mean chaos spam is more cost effective than aberrant fossils + resonators? Or that there is an error on POEDB?

I have spent 82 fossils and never seen either of the + gem levels mods we want.

I play your build and thank you for this one, it`s great.

Though I`m only in process of dps scaling (slow player and don`t have much time to farm a lot), but I played a little in POB and using two jewels Thread of Hope can boost damage a lot. In price of 300 HP did +300k dps just on jewels.

I still don't see the point of doing this. Endurance and Frenzy charge is awesome but you can get both of them later on your crafted gear. It's especially true for frenzies (gloves don't have many good prefixes). You could also socket Lethal Pride (Karui Legion jewel) and get tons of defensive benefits from nearby nodes, including charge generation.

If you want more damage, how about increasing your gem level instead like the guide tells you to?

No fossil interacts with +1 to active gem level mods on amulet. Chaos DoT Multiplier still does and that's what the fossil is for. For much higher chance of rolling it and extra 20-30% increased chaos damage prefix. Once you get lucky and roll +1 gem level mods, you have high chance for the amulet to be decent. Keep in mind that +1 gem level mods are very rare.

hi, my question is about Withering Step. Me use it instead dash in map? Or use only in fight with bosses? Or dash is only used in leveling? Thanks
Got a crafting question. I got the following two drops:



Is there a way I can guarantee-craft a +1 on one of them? I have an annulment orb, and 3 exalts. I particularly want to use the high AS bow.

Btw, I've managed to get a Silverbrough and it's been holding up really well in the endgame so far.

I've explained multiple time - i believe Withering Step is pointless except for CWDT setup. Dash is not used after levelling.

No. Your bows are not 6-linked and have 5/6 affixes total. It's a waste of resources to attempt anything. You should use fossils until you get lucky or buy a ready bow instead.

Hello,

Playing this build since I started POE few months ago and I love it. Thanks for the hard work.

How much DPS should I have with Caustic Arrow ? I'm at level 94 and I can map very very fast and don't die often but I have a lot of problem with single target (can't kill the shaper for exemple).

POB tell me 340k in combat and I can see that in the POB link of the first page you have 458k.

Does 100k can make all the difference ?

Or maybe my stuff is not the great ? (https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/nohaj_/characters).

Your CA and Empower gem levels are below what they should be. I specifically mention to get at least Empower 3. Against bosses you should use Effective DPS.

OK, i will wait for the level 3 and maybe switch to Damage on Full Life Support in the meantime. Thank you.
Is it ever worth it to go for the awakened version of the support gem? some are very expensive, but other seem to be cheaper
