i get some level and now over 5100 hp, i change amulet for flat dmg too, and i was lucky to craft this

(1.86 aps - Pdps 376 not know about crit) but again i have very low dps (around 192k).

I try any combination for have more dps and i wonder that a simple 2c

do quite the same dps damage.

i also know that with 30% quality on the first claws i must have around +270% dmg not listed, but really i don't know how reach 3milion dps

P.S: i have no more space on key for set all the suggested skill

mouse1 = Ds
Mouse2 = Blood rage
mouse3 = whirling Blade

q = Lightning s.
W = Ancestral toten
E = vaal haste
R = Herald of purity
T = Hatred.

There is no space for Vaal grace, for example.

Hey, so I started playing POE three weeks ago and I've been using your guide and really enjoying myself. I do have a couple questions, and I apologize if they've been asked before, but I didn't want to read through 186 pages to see if someone had asked them :)

I've done pretty well for myself as far as money and luck goes, so I've gotten some pretty good gear, but I have a couple questions that are probably pretty noob:

I just got a 6L Belly of the Beast and have put my dual strike + support gems on it instead of my BoR. This leaves me with 4 sockets on my helm free, and I'm not entirely sure what the best stuff to put in there would be.

I see that some people use 2x Cast when Damage Taken, is that something that could be done? It seems attractive to me as less active skills are easier for a braindead new player like me.

Speaking of CWDT, after doing some research and reading your guide, it seems like there is a benefit to not leveling your gem? I've been leveling it the whole time and it's now at level 19, should I reset back to level 1? After doing some research on the wiki, I still don't really get the concept of why you should leave it low leveled. Also, some poeple run 2x CWDT with a low and high level gem? If that's what you think I should run, what gems would you recommend for the high/low gems.

Also, since I just got BoTB, I'm now well overcapped on some resists, is there a stat I should be really prioritizing when I buy some new rings/amulets/gear?

Last question, and I know you've answered this before but I'm a little confused. You mention not needing your auras/buffs on the hot bar -- but when you die do you just have to click through to activate them again or is there a shortcut that I've missed?

Thanks!

Hey, Vaal Ancestral Warchief - Multiple totems - Melee physical - Conc Effect is a huge DPS boost.

Also:
1. Change Elemental damage for Attack speed / Cast speed in the beginning of the skill tree.
2. Change Elemental Focus and nodes near it for the Assassination and Critical chance nodes.
3. Change your path to the Soul Raker. You should go through the critical chance / multiplier nodes and not through the poison ones.
4. Change your flask setup.
a. Divine life flask (instant recovery / bleeding immunity)
b. Diamond flask (reduced flask charges used / freezing immunity)
c. Flex spot - Atziri's Promise / Sin's Rebirth / Lion's Roar / Jade flask / Quartz flask
d. Taste of Hate
e. Basalt flask (reduced flask charges used / curse immunity)
Get 20% quality on all of them.
5. I would also suggest to change support gems of the Ligthning Strike. Ancestral Call and Maim is going to be nuts.

I suggest to try Multistrike - Ancestral Call - Maim because it's better in my opinion and not because it's always better. Say_Ten guide is awesome and you follow it without any worries.

BoR is worse than good 6 link, but better than bad 6 link. So it depends on what exactly you are going to use as a 6 link chest.

I can check your build when I will be home if u want to
