Not sure if it's been already mentioned but you can now pickup phase acro using a small ring thread of hope in the projectile damage jewel circle nearby allowing you to drop perfect form (at the cost of free AA)
It will also allow you to pickup hunter's gambit and silent steps (for 1 point) I'm doing some shenanigans with the following so res on gear is limited. This allows me to still get phase acro while min-maxing other stats. Última edição por xNovoxx em 5 de jan de 2020 18:38:46

" From glancing over your character, I'd say get a Stygian Vise with an 80+ life roll + 1-2 good resists on it and a +Life abyss gem to go with it, and *definitely* look into getting a 6-link chest that has at least some form of +Life on it. This here: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Metamorph/Lge3E55Tn should help you find what you need for less than 30c tops. You could also buy a non-corrupt 6-link and throw some cheap +Life essences at it until something good-looking pops out too. As for damage, do you/have you tried swapping in Melee PHysical Damage Support for bosses/metas over Ancestral? It makes an enormous difference since you'll get around 50% more damage. E: I also noticed you don't have your Uber Lab done yet. Unlocking it and getting your last two points is massive because you'll no longer get gibbed by shock or murdered by ignites.

Kind of a noob question:
I understand the build is scaling poison ailment damage as priority, however since the melee skills still have heavy phys to chaos conversion, was wondering if a lower rank +15% to chaos damage over time multiplier is still stronger than slapping on a 100% phys on a claw for the 1 open prefix? Feels very counter intuitive to me, but would love some input from the veterans in this thread. Is the chaos dmg multi a very huge difference over 100%+ increased phys dmg on claw? |

Having a blast thus far,
Is Iron reflexes worth having before perfect form? Im just trying to round out my defense a bit so i can settle into a farming groove. ~5k armor feels a little low. Not confident enough in these mechanics myself to make a decision though. Have you messed with plague bearer? It seems kind of fun but im on the fence.

" Chaos DoT Multiplier is always going to beat out physical damage on a claw for this build. The DoT multiplier applies to every single poison and is just an incredible bonus to making things melt. There's a reason good amulets with the mod command high price tags! " I used Iron Reflexes before PF and found it very helpful for making Molten Shell extremely potent. The key is combining it with a Jade flask of Iron Skin/Reflexes since the Molten Shell snapshots your armor when it's used. Plague Bearer is pretty good if you can invest some links into it. 21 Plaguebearer + Empower 3/4 is great for clear, and being able to add an Increased AOE support also makes it even better. |

I guess i glazed over that, even though it says "Defense is built around this flask. Get it as soon as possible!!!"
I just rolled iron skin onto my jade flask (i was running a grey one) and added iron reflexes back, and I can face tank morphs now. I grossly underestimated how much a flask suffix can do. Thanks! |

I have been having a blast with this setup, crushed pretty much all the content in the game so far with it, I have been looking at picking up my Watcher's Eye and I was looking at a dual Malevolence Watcher's that has something like:
Damaging Ailments you inflict deal Damage 10% faster while affected by Malevolence My question is that when I plug this stat onto a Watcher's Eye in POB my dps does not increase at all, is it just a limitation of POB, or is just that it would not increase due to some mechanic of the poisons that I am missing? |

So how 'Poisons deal damage faster' works is it lowers your max poison duration by X% and increases the dps by the same amount. E.g: You do 1000 poison damage over 10 seconds. With 10% faster, you now do 1000 poison damage over 9 seconds. This technically doesn't change your poison damage, but it means each poison is now more lethal and you'll cap your theroetical stacks faster. The only time that stat isn't a DPS gain is against targets who you can cap your poisons out on which is like... nothing in the game, really.
