Link your PoB.

Also, are you looking at your shaper dmg or your map damage? My map damage is much lower because I use Melee Splash. I dont like the feel of melee physical while mapping. Need more aoe/ancestral call/splash/something. Just relying on proliferation feels kinda bad.

I do 15.3m Shaper DPS with max wither stacks, but I only do 10.6m mapping dps.

I use Viper strike, too, which is like 40-50% more damage than Pestilent. So if you are using ancestral call on your Pestilent and looking at map DPS, 3.3m dont sound that far off. Like, my map DPS with pestilent is something like 5.4m.

Also, if you are using cluster jewels you gotta activate those. PoB doesnt fill those in. For awhile I thought my DPS was kinda low, turns out I didnt have my cluster jewels filled out.

Although I'm running alround pretty clueless in the endgame, I could manage to find an improvement in the skillboard: refund 2x4% hp nodes next to "Thick Skin" and allocate 2x 4%Hp+8%Evasion next to "Revenge of the Hunted". Nets 16% increased evasion.

Are these weapons good enough or should i dig for that atk speed on both ?

Hey guys !

First of all, thanks a lot for this build it feel really great !

I use the venom gyre variant and i encouter a little difficulties with poison damage. I check my POB for like 5 hours and dont find my problems...

Can you help me ? (first league i use POB so please be gentle !)

I know i don't use extra mods for poison damage on POB but i don't think it will push my 1.6m damage to 6-7m.
I think i have an issue with my attack speed...

I apologise for my english it's not my native language.

Hope you feel good and stay safe !

you should be fine with those they are very similar to what i've got and im through sirus awakening 6 now. Mine have crafter damage over time mult instead of atk spd but they're similar. lots of room to improve but you can safely focus on defense for a while.

Your cluster jewel is not activated in PoB(I dunno if you forget to apply points on your own, but PoB wont apply them). Your gems arent quality'd. Id drop the quicksilver flask for a silver flask so you have onslaught.

I changed to Viper strike so I'd have something better to base it on, since thats what I use.

Turning on onslaught, pushing your gems and quality to 20, filling out your cluster jewel(it doesnt do it by default, you have to fill it in), my PoB says you would do 15.7m shaper dps, with Viper Strike, with the gear you have.

So its pretty much the same. Now Pestilent is gonna be like half that on bosses. Its just weaker on bosses, and since you literally use the same everything, I'd just pick up a viper strike if for nothing else, to use on Sirius and other bosses. Its just a straight 50% dmg increase without changing anything else.

Do you have the community fork for PoB so it works with your claws and multistrike? I didnt compare pestilent because your Viper Strike damage is basically the same as mine, so that means Pestilent is, too.

But yea, same setup, just using Pestilent on your gear is 8m shaper dps(So turning on your cluster jewel, Onslaught, and leveling your gems to 20/20 gained 1.5m dps over what you said). Swapping to Viper, its 15m. Since thats literally all you have to change to do 50% more boss dmg, I'd invest in a Viper strike to swap in for Sirius, Shaper, Elder or any hard bosses.

is this build too popular? I literally can't find a single claw with chaos damage on trade.

edit: nvm, the mod I have to look for is different from what it is listed on the weapon.

It seems like such a minor thing, but I notice with my ranger I kill stuff in front me and run through the loot, on the summoner I just rolled it seems like the loot is always behind me (often causing me to miss drops) because my zombies are following.. does that matter/interrupt the flow of farming or am I being silly?

I think you are 100% better off rolling your own claws.

Its really not hard to get a good one with the 4 slot resonator method, and you can resell all the meh ones to people who dont read this guide.

I could have just sit and made bank the entire league crafting mediocre claws and selling them off for 5-6ex, but gathering up fossils and mats is an all day thing, so I never got to play the game. But it was, and is, far too easy for the amount of money people charge for claws. I just kept undercutting the overpricers by 1-2+ ex to get rid of mine to craft more.

I only stopped because I got a couple claws that had everything on them, and I actually wanted to play the game some, instead of sitting and spamming people for fossils and resonators all day; but making useable ones is incredibly easy. Like, I kept a notepad on how often it took to hit a sellable/useable claw: 60% poison, chaos dmg, IaS. All of them were like 2-5 rolls. One took 12; but it was a super good one. The rest would be 2-5 rolls, and then sell it off becuase it didnt have an open prefix.

I'm pretty sure you can just do the exact thing I did and sell them off; I was surprised people were still buying meh claws for 4-6ex this late into the league, but they were. Just keep crafting and selling them until you are happy with what you got. If all you want is one with Ias/Chaos/60%, you probably get one of those super fast with the 4 fossil resonator method.

I've already made my money and my claws doing this, so I have no qualms on telling you how to earn a lot of exalts and claws you want if you can stomach trading for fossils and resonators all day.

But I will say 100% the claws you see up for trade are horrendously overpriced. You are gonna spend like 1-2 exalt max getting a IaS/60%/Chaos dmg, and probably even poison on it becuase its like 30% to show up. If you do the 4 resonator option, the thing that always gets left off is the chaos damage. Its like 30%+ to get Ias and Poison.

Use a 4 socket resonator, corroded, abberant, metallic, and shuddering.

I wouldnt say this if they werent so horrendously overpriced compared to their crafting cost, but they are. Also, its because a site like Craft of Exile exists now, and gives you a clear picture of the best ways to craft things, and the 4 resonator method is just too easy to get these claws for them to be priced that high.
