Doing pretty good so far this league, just hit red maps (been taking my time with heists) and the build is performing very well.

Have helm enchant, crafted a +1 quiver, 6L chest and have my flask cluster + enduring composure, and despair on hit cursed gloves. Thinking of trying to make an elder endgame bow next, but that'll be extremely costly.

I do have a 10ex budget atm (got a really lucky grand heist last night)
Wolfie, if you don't mind, do you think that's the correct next upgrade choice?
Also wanted to say thank you for the guide! =)

edit: well on my way towards the bow now - 6 linked it, now time to start fossil crafting

Time for you to get a good ammy and Hardened Scars, a large cluster jewel as well. Good luck with the elder bow (I often finish cluster jewel first but it's more of personal choice).

<Duplicated post>

appreciate it, thank you. clusters are difficult this early in. only 3 mod one was 8ex and that didn't seem worth it. Good amulet makes sense though, I'll try to find something

You are right. The large cluster can be difficult to craft this league due to the changes to roll rate and no Harvest craft. Thanks for this feedback.

How important is Duskblight boots? It's like 35c.

It's a good damage boost + resist but nothing as essential as V-Rift. It surprises me that the cost ~35c. Last league was like 4c this time around. The lesser version is a Stormcharger.

Nice starter. No trouble with act 1-10, working on atlas progression atm. More videos soon.

Nice footage!

Thanks for the writeup, I followed your help and crafted a +1 arrow quiver. It's MUCH smoother. Next up is a despair on hit ring

Good addition. If a despair on hit ring is too hard to find, prolly a Witchfire brew as a temporary despair source would be enough before red maps.

Do you think it is worth adding Hardened Scars to this amulet?

Yeah, I think it is an OK amulet to have Hardened Scars crafted on it.

The Defence and Clear is Really Really nice.
But i lag a lot on single target i think .
Any tips woud be nice .
Maybe im doing something wrong.

You have a nice set of gear given the stage of the league. There are couple of things you could take a look.

1) Do you form a V-shape around the single target? In addition, SA is a channelling skill, so you would want to 5-stage as much as possible.

2) Below is my further set of suggestions that you may want to have a look to optimize your SA - BR interaction, and thus maximize your poison DPS. Understand the routine with BR is important.

3) I took a look at your PoB and made some changes for your reference:

4) Be reminded that attack speed is the most sought-after attribute for SA.

Let me know how it goes. A video capture of you vs single target, which you struggle, will help.

Edit: when you enter the end-game, just make sure you have at least a 5-link BR (- withering touch - Inc Duration - MiA - GMP/Added chaos)

Thanks i give it a try

Thanks, awesome defense with HS <3

by the way, a very interesting belt base to use ... Summon a minion that causes Taunt, helps in survival and SA channeling
