Hey question about min-maxing the build, am I wasting points by having a large and small jewel cluster?
I'm currently using one with Battle-Hardened and Force Multiplier and a small cluster with Adrenaline

Im lvl 88 and have no idea how you guys make this build work. Sure i dont have the best items but, 5k like seems like th absolute max, and the dmg is quite low ( with max charges ~170k)

Atziri kills me like nothing, and red maps are nearly impossible.

You're missing a 6th link, quality on gems, attack speed on gloves too. Have you tried using cluster jewels? War cry ones are really good too.

Thank you. I am using the cluster jewel that gives me Rage on warcry.

The quality, ~10% attack speed doesnt seem like a big leap to suddenly be able to do red maps and my health pool is 4,8k if i upgrade my stuff maybe 5-5,2k.

The 8k in the original post just seems impossible to me, but if someone knows how to do it that be great.

Hi Dehogynem,

To be fair I'm not the best in Path of Exile, nor can I really theory-craft because I don't understand the game well enough (I only recently came back last league). What I can tell from your items is that you're doing quite a few things in your own way whilst ignoring what the guide recommends. Although this might not seem helpful to you, taking in consideration what I said earlier about not understanding the details in the game, I reached level 95 with this guide and sometimes trying things out in PoB to see how it affects the damage. I didn't even have to go the extra mile by adding the corrections or anything because it lays things out quite clearly.

There are just some simple things (which I don't know if they're better or not) that you seem to have adjusted, such as using Frostbite as an aura instead of Herald of Ice, using ice bite support instead of fortify (which is a lot of extra damage), using Ancestral warchief instead of protector (which might be the correct choice looking at top level glacial hammer players' DPS).

I hope this doesn't come across as belittling you, because that's not what I mean to do, but it might help if you follow the guide (as much as possible and your currency allows it) as it's written. Just following the guide helped me a lot at least and I tweaked a few things a long the way which I liked or didn't like (or didn't have the currency for) to eventually end up with this at level 95.

All this, just to try and make Torstein proud and lift the Glacial hammers to 0.1%.
