Great build! Having tons of fun playing on the PS4 currently. Only thing I’m having issues with is upgrading my current set of weapons which are at the time just two heartbreaker daggers. As I said I’m playing on PS4 so any type of shaper sai you show in the guide is currently unattainable at the moment. I’m using a 5L shroud and have good rare gear on. All my resists are capped and honestly I’m doing nice damage. No complaints. I’ve just been using these daggers for so long now I feel that they need to be my next upgrade. So I was wondering what the best way to craft those daggers are and about how much currency I will need to craft each one. I’ll be doing one at a time. Honestly if I can just craft one or just replace one of these heartbreaker’s it will be a huge game changer for me. Any tips on crafting or any other uniques that would pair up better with one of these heartbreakers. Having two is giving me zero bonus, it’s but like CS stacks.

Thanks a ton

Fairly new player here.

First of all, thanks for the guide. The build is pretty fun so far.
I reached endgame content and I'm struggling with finding a 6L chest. What's the best option with my limited resources? Finding a suitable chest is quite expensive? Is there a way to craft it on my own?
Thanks

Hi all, I am a bit of a noob to POE, play mostly FPS but I enjoy the grind and search for loot this game offers. This build melts trash but I am having issues with bosses and also the syndicate who seem to one shot me.

I am looking for some guidance on what I should be upgrading next. I have been playing around on POB however I must be doing something wrong. I will copy an obviously better dagger and add it to my items and it shows less DPS?

If someone could look at my items and tell me what I should be upgrading first and possibly link an item that would be awesome. I have roughly 5 ex to spend, just not sure where to spend it :)

Thanks in advance and thanks to Enki for making this build.

With a 5-ex budget, there is a ton of stuff you can do here.

Some initial observations:
1. Very nice gear in general; great job following the guide. If you are new to this game and managed to get this far on your own, that's very impressive.

2. With two exceptions, you don't have quality on any of your gems. You are definitely missing out here. Use the vendor recipe (uncorrupted lvl 20 gem + 1 gemcutter's prism) to easily get all of them (except Arc) to 20% quality and then level them all up again, which should take 1 day.

3. Use blessed orbs to maximize implicit mods wherever they can be improved (e.g. gloves, ring).

4. You are running a Watcher's Eye for Zealotry but are running Wrath and not Zealotry. Consider switching Wrath for Zealotry or getting a new jewel. I should add that your Watcher's Eye is already a good one for this build.

5. I am not seeing much in the way of increased effect of shock. This is an important damage multiplier. Check your character stats for Arc in-game; if you are at less than 150% effect of shock, you are missing out on easy damage. If you are at less than 50%, you are missing out on a lot of easy damage.

The low-hanging fruit:
1. Get a devouring diadem, since the mods on your current helmet are already mostly gravy. Make up for any lost resistances with your ring or amulet. Use the extra passive skill points you can refund to get the two jewel sockets to the left and right of the starting point, the two other + life nodes near Purity of Flesh, and Breath of Lightning (or whatever else you feel like). Use Enki's guide to find good jewels to fill those sockets (aim for life, ES, and attack + cast speed).

2. Craft Shaper daggers per the mini-guide Enki has posted. These are expensive--5-7 ex each-- but well-worth it in terms of the huge DPS boost each will give you. I cannot speak to what configuration you have been using in PoB, and the daggers you currently are using are quite good, but daggers like the multimodded ones in Enki's guide are going to blow almost everything else out of the water when it comes to maximizing damage. See my profile for examples. Inpulsa's and multimodded daggers are the two (three) single biggest item acquisitions capable of taking your this build to the next level, and you already have Inpulsa's.

3. You ideally want a Stygian Vise belt. You are obviously relying quite a bit on your current belt for resistances, so this will involve shuffling items around, most likely. Your gloves are an obvious candidate for replacement here; though they are very good, you are getting nothing from them in terms of resistances. Don't feel like you need to get fingerless silk gloves. I know the damage boost is tempting, but it's really insignificant compared to how expensive the base is.

4. If you can squeeze the resistances in elsewhere, a Mark of the Shaper + elder ring is really awesome for this build.

Good luck!
