[3.14]CoC Poet's Pen Blade Fall/Blade Blast |League start to All content down |16M+ Dps fast clear

How's the single target damage?

I quit a couple builds because bosses were unbearable. One was ED/C which is just insane at clear. I'm between poet and poison bv. Poison bv hurts on survivability, has good clear, and seems unmatched on bosses.
Been playing the build this league from the start -- overall love the build. It's a lot of fun, and the MTX for blade spells is amazing. Some thoughts:

1) Leveling with bladefall > blade vortex. Blade vortex really feels bad with Blade blast

2) I'd argue going the Acrobatics/Phase tree is almost essential. Without it, we have very little mitigation (especially early on) and survivability is super questionable. I was literally spiking between like 200 hp and max health before I transitioned

3) I'm thinking of taking the jewel socket below acrobatic for intuitive leap, which gets us access to Acuity/Herbalism/Heartseeker/Survivalist. Stats all seem to benefit us quite a bit

4) Damage feels decent on red maps / bosses, even with my current gear. Haven't fought Sirus or any endgame boss yet, but I'd be more worried about survivability than damage (although more damage always feels nice!)

My gear below for anyone who's interested





Lots of places to improve -- broke AF right now but working on enlighten so I can run Flesh & Stone, elreon -mana craft, and generally tightening the gear around the edges.

It all depends on what you like playing, this build is more memey tbh with the insane amount of blades we generate, in terms of boss dps we are pretty good, but ofcoz there must be investment made to make it work

That might be a good location for an intuitive leap, i am considering doing a tree with less emphasis on cluster jewel seeing that they got fucked real bad. Probably look into that soon

Been trying this build and is stuck in white maps, kinda at a loss at what I am missing damage wise aside form just needing to level the gems higher

Turns out I'm a complete idiot and misread barrage as barrage support. With the right gem in I'm also comfortably doing tier 10ish maps. Would still appreciate any input on what I should focus on improving first though. Also, how exactly should I be calculating dps in the PoB?

You took some extra points north of witch, i dont path there coz u spend extra points pathing that direction


You need to build overwhelm physical damage reduction stat, our best in slot amulet anointment is insanely cheap, get kinetic impacts asap
Your damage will start to feel shittier and shittier going into late yellow/red map without any overwhelm stat
Look at a hunter influenced belt with a good life roll and overwhelm stat too

Focus on getting overwhelm phys dmg stat on tree, master of force if possible


You took pain attunement without a militant faith, it does not provide any benefits. We convert pain attunement into inner conviction with militant faith.

For Helm Enchant whats the best to go for
+1 volly
+power CHarge
or 24% area for blade blast
wanna know the best one to go for as prices on them all differ quite a bit

+1 power charge isnt an enchant, its either a warlord influenced base helm or a corrupted implicit result. You can actually harvest slam it with crit mod if i am not wrong

As for the actual enchant, +1 volley is the best possible one. However, if its expensive and unavailable, 24% increased aoe for bladeblast is pretty great too

Any reason we aren't using a single curse here?

Lack of sockets, if you can roll an assassin's mark ring with good life roll + life gain on spell hit, thats ideal

**or awakener orb craft a vulnerability + life gain on spell hit ring
