Anyone have any creative ways of hitting 5 APS? Haste aura would get me there, but I don't really want to drop any of my auras. Aul's neck would also get me there, but how are stuns without PoC? I could also path to Dark Arts + run silver flask for onslaught but that seems a big clunky. I'm already running 21/20 faster attacks so lvl 18 faster attacks gloves wouldn't do anything for me.

" Im running the more 'standard' Low-life variant, but changed my tree around a bit to make it work with Energy from Within, and holy cow it gave me like another 1k+ ES. |

thx again for the guide.
managed to kill uber elder. not deathless, but on first try :) here is a shitty vid, if someone is interested: https://youtu.be/CS4WRjTuzW4 PoB: https://pastebin.com/UvYQKjQB i think it is a solid build. not the cheapest. i also went the rare hubris route. sitting at 9.1k ES. this way i can 4link my frenzy and use my chest for phase run/flamedash, linked to arcane/faster casting(swapping to LW in sticky situations will get u killed) still, fast mapping (with reduced Lightwarp duration) good bosskiller. (killed pure esh multiply times without deaths) shaper/ all map bosses, no matter the map mods) are ezpz. great for delves (290 solo right now) gear: |

I remembered about Vile Bastion this morning in regards to the stun issue without PoC. So Aul's is an attractive option, but it won't get me to 5 APS by itself. I will still need to run either a silver flask or path toward Dark Arts to hit that much APS.

" I do not quite understand what Aul's has to do with 5APS. €dit: I presume you want to run Haste with the saved mana? I am not sure thats worth it. There are other, better ways to increase the damage (critmulti, pentration, corruptions etc) - and the build does not really lack in damage anyhow. Looking over your gear I see you have 9%CDR on your belt. Doing some basic Math 9% of 250MS are about ~25ms - resulting in a 225ms internal CD for Poets pens. Dividing 1 second by 225ms = 4.44 period. Its a bit less since I rounded up your CDR to 10% for the ease of the calculation. Subtracting the 0.25s seconds from serverlag/general lag (check your own connection for a more precise value then this general guestimation) leaves us with about 4.2 APS as the hallmark you should aim for with your gear. Which is easily reachable without anything fancy, repathing or whatever. As such I do not quite understand what your problem exactly is? And what Aul's has to do with any of it.

You can reach ~ 5 APS with 23q frenzy, gmp, culling strike, faster attacks and linking them with a level 4 enhance. You also need to get unnatural instinct and path the jewel socket through the spell damage nodes. You would also need around 22% total attack speed on your jewels and obviously 12% attack speed poet's pens.
I'm not sure it's worth all this pain even if you reach 28% cdr. @Blakells you don't have enough leechrate because your damage is too low. You can actually reach 10k ES on this build while still being low life, you're not necessarily forced to go CI. Last edited by OCELOT69350#1550 on Jan 23, 2019, 3:25:40 PM

@Cyrix1337
Corruptions for ele pen provide minimal DPS increase. Corruption for an extra curse on PoC is not available in BSC (only checked today). Additional curses provide limited benefit for syndicate or any other bosses. CDR & reaching better CDR is the most effective way of increasing DPS. Do I have enough DPS already? Of course, but so did you before you spent countless hours optimizing your gear to reach the state it has. So you should be the last person asking why. ;) But higher APS/CDR is not only for damage. I think you will also get through a map faster because you will be warping more often! |

" Corruptions for ele pen provide the most DPS increase of all - since you can replace Lightning Penetration gems with Controlled Destruction (on Arc) and Elemental Focus (on Ball Lightning). About the more Damage question: Well - Fair enough! :P I think the limiting factor about Lightning Warp is not so much its cooldown but its duration. It's duration is already longer then our castspeed without any CDR. I do not think it will help on that front. Last edited by Cyrix1337#4098 on Jan 23, 2019, 5:14:29 PM

" I reached 5 APS by adding Onslaught on kill jewel and gloves with "More attack speed". That was enough for me to go from 3.75 to 5 APS. Also very cheap. I paid 20c for these gloves: |

How do you maintain it during boss fights when it matters the most? You can have 800-900k arc hits against trash mobs which is already like 3-4 million dps while mapping. On a boss fight your aps will be out of sync with your cdr and you'll pretty much lose damage.
You could have many options for gloves such as simple high ES rares, high damage rares with lots of bench mods and decent ES. The same goes for the mods on your belt and the STR affixes you would sacrifice on gear to get more cooldown, sacrificing jewel affixes for it etc... As I said before, q23 your 4 green gems and add level 4 enhance on it for the easiest attack speed gain. You could also use elder base gloves with "supported by level 20 faster attacks /+ attack speed" mod and wouldn't even need a 5th link for an eventual enhance gem. Getting 5 aps is only good for your damage output will ball lightning + arc setup. Show me a setup that provides 5 aps reliably AND reaches let's say a minimum of 400k arc hits against shaper.
