Currently playing this build and made the transiston. My biggest problem is that hatred has 101% life reservation and i dont know why. Even if i put the gems on 20/20 it doesnt change

This is my current pob

not all points set cause im missing the cluster and a few gems which i just bought and are stil lvl 1

but i dont get the hatred reservation problem^

Edit: got now a lvl 21 arrogance, still 100% reservation needed

You just need to change your reservation mastery to life I think?

lol i think i got it, ty

Ok now back with som upgrades i got the last days but my dmg feels shit.
harvest and sentinel monsters are way to tanky and even T13 bosses take pretty long.

Anything i can make better in the next steps (except for levelning gems ofc)

edit: nvm im probably selling my build that i have, the dmg is just not there and isnt even fun anymore. As much as i like storm brand but this build isnt it for me. The amount of investment it needs to even run t16 with bossing comfortably is a joke imo, i dont want to fight 2 min for a boss in maps

Sorry to break it to you but it's not the build that's the problem here, it's your expectations, of course this will not feel good with:

- 6l Storm Brand setup with Strom Brand lvl 19, Inspiration lvl 11, Conc Effect lvl 10, Swiftbrand lvl 9, Inc. Crit Damage lvl 17, Inc Crit Strikes lvl 18
- You have 53% crit chance... but 442% crit multi
- Your Auras are not lvl 21 or at least 20 either
- No annoint on your amulet (Doom Cast is huge DPS)
- Get more Cast speed, scales storm brand really well
- Your wand is kinda bad in terms of rolls apart from the +1 to lightning
- %added cold with Hatred on a watcher's eye could also give a good boost to life & DPS

These are all very easy things to change to boost the DPS quite a lot, then again if you want to really boost the DPS you'll shift to a cluster setup, but even without you should be able to do all content apart from Uber Uber / Feared maybe.

Hi.

I seem to be a bit stumped. In-game Storm Brand's avg hit is 6829.1. In the poe build it says it should be 34745 avg hit. I am a litte lost as to what is happening and why my in-game build does not match up to the poe build.

Can't seem to get a screenshot to show in the post. Here is the link to what is shown in game. https://imgur.com/cr3R7uB

And here is the poe build link - https://pastebin.com/tRK9sdRC

Does anyone have an idea what I am missing? I can't seem to figure it out. It's probably obvious that I am just overlooking something.

Thank you for your support.

Path of Exile's in-game tooltips are unreliable and deceptive. For example, my in-game tooltip says that my brands, similarly, hit for about 7k. What you were not noticing was the cast/proc-rate; brands proc every 0.16 seconds (aka 5 times a second). Multiply 7*5 = 35k.

The rest of your build... You need to replace critical strikes and critical damage w/ the Elemental Overload gems and take the lightning masteries. You cannot go critical damage based Stormbrand with your current setup. It's a huge waste.

You need to transition into low-life before you go critical strike. That means getting the 6L Shavs, Aegis Aurora, Cluster Jewels, Thread of Hope (etc etc)

I really enjoy the concept of this build. I particularly enjoyed the ability to mix and match so many item slots/auras.

In the end I got to level 98 and I will call it at that.

I feel pretty strong while mapping, but bossing is always a slog.

I might keep playing around with it to see if I can get a double damage wand and a Chayula's with +1 to curses. With how I want to play, it is very expensive.

I have had a decent bossing experience with the Inquisitor version im running currently, most likely it will replace this guide as it's overall easier and imo stronger.

I look forward to giving it a try!

Build guide has been fully changed over to the inquisitor version.

Molten shell will trigger often with CWDT lvl20?
