Hi, I'm working ona TR right now lvl 97 with 4k Life and 2.2k ES. Map bosses and Sirus/Elder/Shaper are done pretty easily. But I can't win the Maven fights- (breachstone bosses, guardians etc..) I've even scoured but still couldn't do it. I get one shotted the moment I go in the map. Do I need to focus on more def? or do I have to get better damage to kill them faster?

Also, could someone please post a guide on how to craft the cluster jewels? Thanks!


There are several issues with your build. You really need to understand that this build gets most of its damage from TR levels and area of effect.

By far the BIGGEST issue is your gem links. If you are using a +1 socketed gems and +2 bow gems, then efficacy isn't terrible. If you are using +1 socketed gems and +2 socketed support gems (which is a higher end craft); you MUST use empower. I don't understand how anyone could actually obtain that kind of bow and a double dot multi quiver, and not use Empower. It will provide almost 30% more DoT DPS over Efficacy.

The second mistake is not using carcass jack. You need it. Buy one with 50% area of effect.

The third mistake is using a vendor tier amulet. T1 DoT multi and 20% res isn't shit. At the absolute minimum you want a +1 chaos or dex skill gems here. This isn't expensive, +1 chaos skill gem amulets cost nothing. I paid 60c for mine which has t1 life and 37% res.



The fourth mistake is bad clusters. You want wicked pall on all your medium clusters. The other noteable doesn't matter as much.



Hey Thanks for the reply. I just switched over to Empower 3 and it's definitely a huuuuge upgrade. I was using a Carcass Jack up to the point where I was getting one shotted vs. maven's bosses but I'll give it another go.

Working on an amulet atm. Crafting from scratch actually.


Thanks again!

Crafted this amulet by rolling into +1 dex gems and then just using aug chaos harvest craft multiple times. Is it good enough? Any advice on crafting a better amulet? Also any advice on the best way to craft a hunter ring with despair on hit? Thanks.

The amulets fine, there really only 2 other QoL rolls you want if you can get both, 10% chance to gain an endurance/frenzy/power charge on kill and -25% mana reservation cost of Malevolence.

You would remove the excess lines and just augment influence but you cant strip off the all elemental resist and you also have chaos resist which would more then likely result in losing the dot multi so just leave that amulet as is. Its still good, start a 2nd one down the road when your gears all done and you have extra $.

The ring tbh, just grab a good base with t1 life and 32% despair on hit, you can get them cheap, like 1ex and just customize it however you like with harvest crafts.



I stripped off every line except life/curse on that one, augmented defense for the ES, augmented chaos for the resist, and augmented lightning for the other resist.

Hey, I was looking at your profile and saw you using some very different setups than what is in OP's post. Could you explain why you're using Asenath's Chant instead of The Vertex?


Why is the PoB or the Leveling trees not updated? Seems weird to me.

Also, another question. I have a Despair on Hit ring. What should I replace the gem with? I'm thinking of Lightning Golem for the attack speed, but does anyone have some other suggestions?

Thanks so much for this build and everyone who has commented in the thread. This is the farthest I've been able to progress in quite a while.

Would someone mind taking a look at my profile? As far as I can tell, my next upgrade is going to be 3+ ex so I want to make sure I'm prioritizing it correctly. Thank you!

Hey, you need to change your privacy setting to make your character public :)

It's private anyway.

@Wallwalker22 Depends what else can you use, for example do you have vaal haste? If you have spare links you can also use cwdt + frost shield as an extra defensive if you have decent amount of ES on your character. I put cwdt + void orb in some spare links just for some extra corpse cleanup. Some people like to fit withering step for extra source of wither. Some people use bloodrage, but for some the degen is too annoying to handle.

Hard to say, your character is in the process of levelling and it looks like a 4th reroll this league... Small details are less important than deciding which build of them all are you investing into.
Updated, sorry about that!

Kinda bad you have no life on chest, quiver also has low amount of life, you don't need as much dex either, so when you'll upgrade amulet get a different base (and you should upgrade amulet and quiver asap). You should aim for int base to drop that thief's craft bandaid.

Also get corrupted blood immunity jewel or watcher's eye with unaffected by bleed w/ malevolence - you have no bleed protection atm.

You should also get gloves with chaos multi and attack speed (you can craft the attack speed from bench afaik).

The medium clusters need upgrading too: low tolerance is useless for this build, and you should never use a 6-point medium because you WILL run out of points. Picking jewels in the clusters and putting a rare non-cluster jewel in it is a good idea, and it looks like you didn't pick them at all (lack of points?)

P.S. On thread of hope wheel you should have picked hunter's gambit not fatal toxins... poison does nothing for this build really.

Thanks for the quick response, it really helped me out, crafted this ring the same day and on my way to craft a better despair on hit ring and a hunter stygian vise.


This is my first time trying out this build, so I still have many questions. For example I tried to make a high es/evasion sadist garb, but realised after making one, that I can't have % life gained as es crafted on it.

How important is that craft and can I continue with my sadist garb? As I'm acquiring better gear a question arises for how much life and es should I aim for. Atm I have like 4.5 life and 2.5 es. Also how could I make my ES recharge faster? And how important is getting ailment immunity?
Sorry, I know that's a lot of questions, but any advice is highly appreciated :)
