Hi there,

yes the PoB file is up to date!

And by the way I made a brand new video guide for this build... check it out:

Are you going to try uber elder with this build

I've read through the posts and I'm not clear on gerald of agony. Do we remove it or keep it. I really love the build I'm level 49 right now and I took a couple mana leach nodes until I can get a thief's torment ring

Probably not because I already started to work on my new build.

The build still uses Herald of Agony.

Hi,

if I go with a two handed weapon in endgame, what in your opinion would be the best 6l setup for single target boss kills?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I'm running this build, so far so good!

I think using Damage on full life and Brutality instead of Slower Projectiles and chance to bleed and droping Herald of Ash in favor of linking Herald of Agony and Herald of Purity with Brutality support (50% more dmg on agony crawler O_o) might do more single target. Yes we lose Herald of Ash and potentially atziri flask, but will get higher Shattering steel and stronger impales in return. Thoughts?

Also you can still proc your Virulence stacks with a Brutality gem. The poison does no dmg and has no duration however the stacks will appear.

Been playing Shattering from the get go (I think I tried Lancing Steel for less than 10 min before switching back).

Got a lvl93 Champ with a build of my interpretation about how Shattering Steel and Impale mechanic go together. Right now I'm crushing T15 and I think there is huge damage potential in this skill. The skill has a cone aoe that comes after each projectile is shattered and on big bosses like Kitava (which can take all the hits from both stages of the skill) the damage is fully realized. So I'm thinking currently pierce might not be a desirable thing with this skill. There are plenty of bosses that are large enough to take both projectile and aoe damage at the same time (2x dmg) in short, pierce will lose you massive damage opportunities on many larger bosses.

So I've gone with brutality, and got rid of agony in favor of vaal haste. I'm thinking you wanna rack up impales as fast as you can to your impale limit for max dmg. Right now my link is SS>Increased Crit dmg>Brutality>Maim>ViciousProj>GMP. Sheet dmg in HO shows 39.6k DPS but the damage and clear speed feels very similar to my almost 10m DPS Reave (Kissmequick's build) in T15/16 maps. Reave is smoother though because you don't have to be as precise with position and aiming to get most of your damage out. When I first did Minotaur with this build I was really surprised at how quickly I downed him... considering what the sheet dps is showing.

What about adding a dying sun into the flask mix for increased boss DPS?

can herald of ice work instead of herald of ash or purity? nvm ash is better

Definitly a good flask for this build but I guess the dps increase depends on how many projectiles you already have because it feels like with more projectiles more will not hit the boss.

I guess to effectivly use HoI we don't have enough cold dmg.
