Can you look at my PoB and point out what am i missing or some tips and stuff please
Pob :- https://pastebin.com/67mvd9TP

Haha, uh, you're missing about 70% damage mate.

Your Volatile Dead goes in the Helmet. Not the Desecrate. xDDDDDD

Checked your profile and it's not a PoB bug. Enjoy the swap!!

Also on top of everything, make sure you aren't ooming and keep only 2 brands out at one time for practice when bossing.

Happy 100th Page Post, lol!

Question in re cane of kulemak. We have an awful lot of crit multi already. We have the option (I just unveiled one myself of replacing the crit multi with double damage whilst focused (which can go up to like 70%)). So against bosses, we have the opportunity for a 1.7x damage multiplier for 4 seconds, or sustained damage multiplier of 1.23x averaged out including cd.

Not sure about the maths of 450ish crit multi (so 550% of base) versus 350ish (450% of base) crit multi * 1.23, I think it's basically the same but we get the option to choose a period of effective 600% crit multi.

Gtz on 100 pages, well deserved.

The thing is, the only bosses that truly need our full extent of endgame DPS is Sirus and Maven - phasing bosses that teleport. Bosses without phases go down REAL FAST because there's just nothing that can stand still without our Cast Speed losing a beat.

On mapping as well it's one less button to keep micromanaging.

So I'd prefer the constant utility of 100~ crit mult automatically up every time you need it (Scourge, Sirus Dom rares, etc). I can see Double Damage looking real nice and memey, though. xD

FYI - there's a Witchunter's Judgement weapon swap that triples the damage done but requires an insane combination of button presses on a phased boss.

Hi,

where do i find a 3.16 end-game pob?

Lol i completely missed that.

Happy 100th!

A bit confused on which leveling route to take. I read in the OP that they used Arma Brand build but it also said to follow another build in a different section of the post.

Any suggestion on how to stay relatively similar in terms of passive tree but also make leveling and initial mapping as smooth as possible?

Thanks!

Hey, it's me again!
I applied all you told me and indeed the clearing and mana is way better.
Still, i feel i lack so much dps in solo target! I just did Drox in T10 and it took me like 5min and 4 deaths so kill him, which is a lot.

Here is my POB : https://pastebin.com/V8KgYn27

Do you still find smth that bad? Maybe i should switch my Cane to smth else ?
I can't find the problem and it starts to be really annoying to struggler so much in solo target x)

Thanks a lot for the help!

Just go Arma. Other build was suggested before we could test out how smooth Arma would be (as it turns out, extremely smooth, easily to yellow maps). Arma would require the least changes to swap to VD brand, the only difference being that we don't need to take the corpse health nodes as early.

Though note that you should still use the EO non-crit version until you get a good crit setup.

In fact, Arma might even be better for T1 scourge mapping purposes due to it's much faster cast time and ability to nuke entire low-end packs out of existence if you set up first (aka before you flip into nightmare, just make sure you've all your brands out), but you can gem-swap VD back to Arma anyway so you don't even need to change gear (assuming you didn't use hypothemia in your VD links, replace the VD with hypothemia, arcanist brand with arma, spell cascade with the many blue supports available)

We need you to record your 5min fight to see what's going wrong!!!
