Hi, I harvest crafted double essence wand with +1 lvl to fire skills, and crafted multi-mod with trigger skills when cast spells. So I have an open suffix to craft.

I am wondering -- is straight double damage, or double damage when focussed the best? Due to elemental overload am I right in saying that crit stuff doesn't really have an effect?

I went with normal double damage. At the rate of attack we do, focus trigger seems kinda pointless.

interested to see what cluster jewels people are using and why

I currently have 1 large with smoking remains (allocated) and widespread destruction, and smaller nodes add 12% fire damage and 0.15% life regen and 2 sockets (2 smaller nodes allocated)

wondering if there may be a better option out there

Doryanis Lesson is mandatory for this build.

Hi.

This is my first league, started with Enki Arc, progressed slowly, then my friend finished the league and donated his VD Spellslinger gear, so I've decided to reroll. Right now i can run T14 maps with ease, T15 and T16 are bit challenging due to survivability, especially on -max res maps. Looking for advices on what to improve, my goal is to kill A2, maybe A4 Sirus before league ends. I can spend around 3ex.

Here is the link to my PoB - https://pastebin.com/PbuBNK7A

hi... your wand is poor, craft or buy another with flat fire damage... can see that you dont use detonated dead, and your armor also has no explode, you lose a lot of dps..

This wand has T1 flat fire damage, why you are saying it is poor ?

No, that's T1 spell damage. With a VD wand you generally want high flat (local) fire damage + fire spell damage (what you have) / +1 to fire / +1 spell gems + Fire and / spell %. See my post 3 or four posts back.

You'll have to put a bit more than 3ex in to beef that up, but a start would be to, as noted, get a better wand, save up for a 6L inpulsa's and then likely the next bit is a glorious vanity.

Once all that's sorted (imo, in that order), the next bits would be CDR belt, CDR boots and a hlem enchant: Either SS CDR or SS mana res (don't get the +1 corpse if you don't have an awakened spell cascade).

Before any of this though, you need to sort your gems. Your CWDT is doing nothing, at level 1 you can't trigger steelskin which is lvl 19. I would unlink the helm to be 2 + 2. HOA + End Cry (you can manually cast End cry every few seconds) and CWDT + Steelskin (level up your CWDT).

Also, get a lvl 1 barrage and lvl 1 frenzym, you gain nothing but more mana usage by having them leveled. worth more for att speed on them is to leave them level 1 (as I say, lowwe mana cost) and the quality them up as you can.

I see. Is that correct search link - https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Harvest/LBVvqqGun ? I can only see one sceptre that i can afford, and I'm not sure if it better than my current wand. Everything else if way too expensive.

I've copied this wand to PoB (web version, don't have windows pc right now) and average hit actually went slightly down ??? I'm sorry for all those questions, this game is really complicated, especially when it comes to understanding item power.
