Edit: I posted this before I managed to open the latest pastebin, so I now got some answers to my questions there, eg. what to multimod on the claw. With over 300ex one can go beyond your "very expensive" claw variant and mastercraft (have 3 t1 prefs, craft blocker, slam exalt, slam exalt, lock prefs, scour, repeat) the mirror tier claw. If I stop spending all my currency this league on fossil spamming, I could see myself doing just that by the league end.:) Anyway, here's my earlier post:

Spoiler

Good thing I haven't bought the awakened gems, was actually about to. :D
Also, will do the flask mods as suggested.
As for the ammy enchant, I must've overlooked updates and had Divine Fervour the whole time. So, I suppose, Dismembering is the annoint to aim for in the build? I will probably do it on the rare crafted ammy after I get to it.

Please allow me to get some advice on two slots I've been busy with lately:

If anything confuses you, I don't really know how to link my items to this post, but my stash and character profile are not hidden.

1) The claw. (Used ToA, now switched to BS and love the ll% (although still die to 1 shots sometimes if I get disabled for a moment fighting boss). Worry how im gonna survive without the ll% if I switch to the rare claw, but I guess higher dmg/ER will compensate.

So I spent abt 3-4ex on fossils and resonators so far trying to craft the claw (ilvl86, redeemer). What combo would you recommend? I've been mostly trying frigid+jagged+serrated or just frigid+jagged (the cheaper alternative).
Best I got so far is t1 %inc eledmg w/ attk skills+t3 cold dam/pen for prefs and t2 acc rating+t3 crit chance+t2 life on kill for suffs. Seems like I can't get both + phys dmg and phys dmg% on it now as both are prefs even though I have an open pref. I feel like just scouring it and alt/reg/scour for 3 t1 mods and multimod. What would you recommend to multimod ideally? Or should I change fossil combinations/have more patience?

2) The Medium Cluster Jewel.
Seems like the first craft I might actually make profit in. Thanks to your vid.
Bought a few ilvl84 4-passive/5-passive (4 preferred, right?) bases for 5-15c and put up any 40c+ results up for trade. (eg. overshock+insp. opp.)

Took me quite a few hours, but I finally made Stormrider+Cold Conduction on a 4-passive base, except I didn't get the Jewel socket suff. Instead I got t1 increased duration of ele ailments on enemies. The 5%. Should I exalt slam it? Or beastcraft the suffix away for a random pref (if that's even possible)?

As for the rest of the gear, I do plan to craft curse on the ring, but on the iron ring base. Then switch the assassins mark gem to frost bomb. Then craft mana res mod on the shield and slot precision gem instead of either enlighten or portal (put portal on weapon swap). Also currently spamming enchanted fossils on ilvl86 redeemer lion pelt to get the 40%FB (or sell in case I get another expensive enchant), then will craft the stats. Also got both warlord and redeemer 86 body zodiac bases ready to be crafted, whichever rolls better mods. What sucks is life and ER cancel out each other when using respective fossils. Hope I'm on the right path, gonna update the skills tree based on ur latest cluster jewel recommendation and aim to reach awakener 8 and lvl100.

Any comments greatly appreciated, tho not required. This is my 2nd char in PoE and 2nd league that I went past t1 maps. Love this build much more so far than my 1st arc miner, mostly due to clear speed/faster boss kills. Also, this guide had all the right things explained in the right places, loved it. Ty.

PS. Just exalt slammed the jewel and hit +5 dex (t2). I was sure it was gonna be jewel socket looking at the chances. Oh well, won't be too heartbreaking to vaal it after I can make another one. :D Also, extra 20 dex doesn't hurt.

So about the claw. The best way to craft one is not to use fossils, but to use alterations. You use alterations until you have at least a T2 or higher phys damage. Either "adds # to # physical damage" or "#% increased physical damage". Ideal scenario would be to have a T1 attack speed or crit as well, but you can move to the next step without it.
When you have a good phys roll on your claw, you regal it.
As long as you have at least two good modifiers after the regal, you are good to go. You want to get rid of the last modifier first, but after that you can multimod. It doesn't have to be double phys to be worth it. :)
I have videos on crafting, and I can show on stream if that helps.

And I read your edit, but gonna go ahead and go through the modifiers you want to multi.

Any good claw must have:

Prefixes:
% increased phys
# to # added phys

Suffixes:
% increased critical strike
% increased attack speed

One of the suffixes should ideally be crafted with the hybrid modifier that also gives quality.

If you managed to craft a claw that already had 3 mods after the regal, you can craft
"Attacks with this Weapon Penetrate (9-10)% Elemental Resistances" on it.
Elemental penetration is incredibly strong.

If you only had 2 good modifiers after the regal, it should mean you still have an open prefix after crafting.
In this case, I recommend slamming a redeemer exalt on it. There are a couple of really good outcomes you can get from those.
This should be done AFTER everything else is crafted, otherwise you risk blocking a suffix.
Your suffixes should always be crit chance, attack speed, and multimod.

Here are the different prefixes you can get from redeemer exalts.
The bottom three are the ones we want.


If your claw didn't have 30% quality on it before you started crafting, you can corrupt it in the bestiary with the recipe that corrupts any weapon to 30% quality. It will not remove your crafted quality, so you can potentially get 48% quality.

Awesome! It's always nice to know that I managed to help with something! :p


I have a video on crafting a CoH ring, if you feel that you need help with it. In the video I used the old Multimod, so obviously that is different now, and you need better stuff on the regal. I might make a new video, because there are some cool stuff you can do now that you couldn't previously, like merging rings with redeemer/warlord/etc.

As for the armour, the ideal armour would be either Hunter or Shaper influence, if you want to be able to roll the attack critical strike chance modifier.




You really seem to be on the right path, and I love that you have paid so much attention to the details in the build. It's easy to miss stuff.
I also love that you get into crafting this early. Took me a long time before I started learning that. It's one of my favorite parts of the game lol. I hope I understood your questions properly, otherwise, just keep asking. :p
