I played this build the last two leagues. I would replace the gloves you have.
Find a pair of rare gloves with high DEX and temple mod +damage against chilled monsters. You can try to find some yourself or just buy them. Depending on your budget these can range in price from pretty cheap to several divines if you want another decent resit roll.
Start throwing eldritch currency at them to try and hit +damage per 100 DEX and intimidate.
I personally like gloves like these over the hunter gloves because it gives you more flexibility with resists. Hunter gloves will have 2 suffix slots taken up by DEX rolls. Its just my personal preference.
I hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

No, it is not personal preference.

Hunter gloves are outdated and are only interesting, if you go full glass cannon Dex only. They are also alot harder and more expensive to craft, if you want life, workbench craft and and...

Temple gloves are the way to go now.

Thanks for the Answer.
I have another Question:

The poised prism can have 10% of phys as extra cold, is this Something good to get or should I Stay at the normal Version?

Need to fix a lot still, flasks, Pantheon anderen so on

You should switch to a Point Blank version.

You need all points on the tree, so 1 more point is good.

What defence layers would be possible to add without losing much of the dps? Reached T16 and getting killed (still gearing and flask are a mess).

Char: PhuSB

You need to invest more time into learning everything about this build.

1. Your flasks are a mess.
2. Anomalous Siege Ballista is bad, you loose to much attack speed. Just use rain of splinters.
3. Alot gems are not 20% quality
4. Your passive tree has alot small errors. You dont need spell suppression mastery wheel. All this makes you missing alot Dex.

I guess you dont play the league anymore.

Awesome guide and thnx for taking the time to write it. Just hit 1800 dex and wrecking everything in my path. Still got room for improvement too and want to level up a bit.

For 95+ should I just roll safe t16s with the increase pack size notable or should I run some Beachheads??? Or a little of both.

You do this leveling method, which suits your own playstyle best,

but first you fix your passive tree and flasks.
You can easily get 2000 Dex, if you fix your passive tree(at level 96).
You dont need the spell suppression wheel. Magebane is enough.

Brutal Restraint near Golem's Blood is just for starting out. It is alot better to get a Brutal Restraint near Heartseeker.

King of the Hill and and Master Fletcher is also only for starting out.

You are going for more basic jewel sockets, so you can socket 2 of each:

If you dont know the background and reason, it doesnt make sense to take a look on my actual tree right now.

It is temporary, changes often and for more life until i level to 98.

The generic tree, i was talking about in that comment looks like this:

Hey guys , i was messing around in POB , and i noticed when i replaced Awakened Cold Penetration for Focused Balistta 21/20 in pob , i got way more DPS , like 12% more. this proceed in game also ? or is a pob bug ?

worth to change it , and do frenzy on the target to the ballistas shot it ?

Hey, thanks for the helpful answers.
Have some gloves with inc damage against chilled enemies and convert 25%.

Now a new question, is it much worse to go with frenzy and hextouch+frostbite?
Or what are you guys prefering?
Thanks

For bosses Sniper's Mark is superior.
If you dont care about one more key, you can use Sniper's Mark without the cast on critical strike setup, since you cast it only once per boss.

If your equipment is kind of weak(low dex, 5 link) at the start, you also want to curse while mapping, so frostbite might be useful for mapping.

------------

You have alot to fix with your equipment.

1. Your flasks are a complete mess(damage loss and less healing).
Learn about
2. The corrupted ring is ok for starting, but get a normal ring with dex 50+ and life and alot resists.
3. Belt: You dont need that belt. Just get a cyclopean coil(immun to freeze) with 15%(18% with catalyst) dex, this is better for you.
4. Boots: You dont want the +12 attributes, correct is crafted: combo 15% resist/ 15% chaos resist
5. Gloves: Check the gloves above for the correct 2 implicits.
6. You need the corrupted blood jewel only for Sirus(see above other comments, for the correct jewels and tree to boost your dexterity, split personality jewel)

Important:
If you fix all this, you can remove Cloth And Chain on passive tree.
This means 3 more points you can use on the right side to get more jewel sockets, dexterity and damage.

Side note:
Ensnaring Arrow is outdated. There are other, better options, which need less keys pressed.

I list you some flasks, you can use/buy for starting out:



and granite flask (inc armour during flask effect) or jade flask (inc evasion during flask effect)

Lmao ahhh I forgot about the spell suppression wheel lmao. Talk about "set it and forget it". Cool now Im at 2044 dex and easily dropped Uber Elder with only 1 death (When Elder did the attack where u stand in the center of the ring, Shaper decided to shoot his beam). Saving
Maven Writs because I suck at the fight.... Mainly got to work not popping the degen balls all over the arena.

Unfortunately those Dex/Life split personality are non existent on console. A crappy Dex/Armour and Dex/Accuracy is all I've seen. Do they only drop after Wave 30 or is there a certain wave u have to reach??
