Can anyone explain to me why my damage is just fucking beyond ridiculous with 2 void batteries?
What am I missing?

In one word: power charges.

Well, ok, that's two words.

In a bit more words: power charges, crits and levels.

And In a tons of more words...
Your tree is a work in progress. You are lv 75 and it's the worst period for occultist damage. I did struggle too. Not only that but the switch to CI is still fresh and needs focus and resources to improve too.

It's a shame you went for void beacon instead of forbidden power. On the bright side, you are not that far from the power charges nodes on the left and the right of the tree.

With them and 2 void void batteries you get 9 max power charges.

With crits you can use "power charges on critical support" and generate all these power charges instantaneously. Literally. Some people like to link it on their frost bomb setup, and some feel forbidden power generation is enough, like in this guide. But I like it that way as I'm 100% certain I will have max power charges all the time. Plus the 36% more dmg on the gem (with 9 power charges) is nothing to scoff at.

Until you get at least the 2 side power charge nodes and your fourth ascendancy, you should stay far away from void batteries. Then some crit on your tree would help at lot.

Hey guys,

I'm having some serious issues getting my guides updated in time for this league. As many of you know, I'm not a full-time streamer I work parttime job(s) to make ends meet and a few weeks ago I lost the job giving me guaranteed shifts. With this in mind I signed a contract a bit over a month ago to work at a rock festival here in Sweden (Sweden Rock Festival) which is where I'm sending this message from.
I've borrowed Hannas laptop so that I could make sure the guides got updated in time, however, I'm working 16-20h shifts with almost no sleep and just now finished the patch notes before heading to bed. So without looking at the tree in detail I will therefor give my verdicts of the builds further down in this post on all my build guides.

I sleep in a caravan during the event with 0 power supply so getting the computer charged is my main priority for tomorrow so that I could hopefully get PoB working on this shitty Apple laptop and I hope I can get the guides updated before Legion releases.

With this said and before I leave comments below specific for each guide I've posted this to:
Myself and many others are discussing builds, reviews, my guides over at my discord server www.discord.gg/GhazzyTV where you are more than welcome to get help from myself & many other PoE veterans on a daily basis, specially now before a league release. I'm able to get my phone charged at the work place but I'm unable to have the laptop there for a variety of risk reasons,

I hope you can forgive this one shitty situation out of the 6 years I've been making sure build guides with quality is available for the community and hope I can deliver on this release as well..



This build has taken a too big of a hit to feel worth keeping around despite the niche playstyle unlike other WO builds before it. Which is why I've decided to not continue updating this build to maintain high quality in the guides I promote to the community.
