yes my bad using 2 instead of 3
but got this what u think about culling strike
and how craft if futher, craft on bench later veiled mod chaos dmg multi + idk try to find chaos ex harvest and yolo? what u think
I would farm Primal Maw seeds of Bow ilvl - 10 and hope to get Augments Chaos mod with Lucky mods.
If that rips, then spam remove chaos, add Chaos mod till you get it.
I plan to do that with my DoT Multi Extra Arrow bow.
The prefix is left with only one chaos mod. Therefore, look like it's likely you would be able to add flat Chaos mod by Harvest seed Primal Maw seeds: augment chaos mod with lucky mods, after bench-crafting with chaos dot multi.
I am currently following your guide and having a good succes so far. I am clearing tier 15-16 maps easily. My only problem is single-target DPS. I am struggling a lot against conquerors and some bosses in maps.
Here is my actual gear :
I can't find how to link cluster jewels and regular jewels, but I also crafted 1 large cluster Jewel with 2 jewel sockets, Touch of Cruelty and Unholy Grace / 1 medium cluster with Exposure Therapy, Wicked Pall and 1 jewel socket / And 1 small cluster with Enduring Composure.
I wonder what should be my next upgrade to improve my single target DPS. I know I should go for rare 6L but survavibility is really not a problem and I am resists capped atm. I am stacking currency to directly craft a body with -# mana cost (how to craft it btw ?)
I crafted my rare bow yesterday following your guide and got this one first try, am I lucky ? Is this rare bow better than Darkscorn ?
Im also not very experimented with PoB and I can't figure out how to set it up correctly for this build, I import my character on PoB and it says something like 100k DPS and it's not possible to be that bad !
Thanks for your help and for your amazing guide
Look like you had a lucky crafting session. The bow you crafted offers higher DPS than a Darkscorn. Congratz.
Your single-target DPS looks OK. By setting your PoB with proper config, you have 3.4mil mob DPS and 2mil Sirus DPS. That explains why you had such an easy time clearing T15-16 maps. There are two things you can do to immediately improve your single-target DPS:
+ Grab an Enduring mana flask. It helps you replenish mana even at full mana. Use it until you have -mana cost chest.
+ Learn how to position your spore pods. You struggled with single targets because you got mana-blocked (see above) and seemed to not master the pod positioning yet.
If you have one arrow, your pods lie on a line. Position your release cursor such that the target stands in the middle on the pod line. That guarantees the thorn arrow from each pod hits the target. Note that only 1/9 thorn arrows from one pod can hit the same target, so a total of 5 thorn arrow hits (6 if you have the helm enchant). For more info, read the Scourge Arrow mechanics to see how you can maximize your single target DPS.
+ Get a +1 arrow from quiver (total 2 arrows) will help you position spore pods much easier in boss fight. You can V-shape the spore pods with 2 arrows.
P/S: respec the mana leech since you are not using poison Barrage and mirage archer doesn' leech to you.
Cheers
Thanks for your quick feedback.
I don't feel like I have any mana problem since I am using enduring hybrid flask.
I'll probably try to buy a decent rare quiver while stacking some currency to craft one myself, your technique for crafting quiver looks expensive and result seems RNG based.
I will also try to get better Rings with some damages on them too.
For gloves should i get myself some despair on hit Embalmer or should I go straight to Fenumus ?
And a last maybe stupid question : How do you alternate between using blast rain and scourge arrow ? I usually use Blast rain once in a while and spam Scourge, but is it the best way to dps ?
It was my bad to assume you were using a Foreboding instead of an Enduring hybrid.
Double-influenced gears are likely the outcome of expensive crafts, not gonna lie about it. But I think that should be OK since we'd be happy to pay the hefty cost for the end-game optimization which the quiver is. In the meantime, you would want to get a Warlord quiver with +1 arrow and some good stats to use until you accumulate enough currency to fund your quiver crafting.
RNG is a big part. Yes. But in Harvest, we have more tools at our discretion to get around the bad RNG, and I expect people to craft a better quiver than I did last league. I have some ideas but am in short of currency due to my limited playtime this league.
For gloves, Fenumus's with curse on hit is definitely our BIS, but Embalmer is also decent when paired with Aspect of the Spider on the boot. Last league, a pair of stock Fenumus' gloves only cost me 30c and more than an ex for the one with despair on hit. This league its price has skyrocketed. I tried to double-corrupt with temple but have failed 1 this league.
Playstyle: For me, I usually spam 1 round of Blast Rain, let the MiA builds up the wthered stacks and shoot SA. Depend on the circumstances that I will do 3 or 5 SA. Sirus, I would do 4-5 stages; Uber Elder, I would do 2-3 stages and dodge the projectiles from the bosses while letting MiA/Blast Rain deal the damage. Having said that, I think playstyle is more of a personal preference. You can try faraazahmed's. It may work just fine.
Landing spore pods in a V-shape around the target is the key to maximize your poison DPS. Otherwise, it's gonna feel a bit lackluster.
hi, is there any chance to add body armor craft? or i missed it somewhere in theme
In Delirium league, I awakened slam a warlord chest with -mana cost and a Redeemer chest with +10% chance to gain frenzy charge on hit. After that, the suffixes gonna be populated.
Then I would perform some Harvest craft based on the awakened slam outcome. Finally, craft +8% increased life.
Haven't updated the Body armour crafting guide because I want to wait for having the proper Harvest seeds to try.
