Any idea on improvements on my char? I skipped MOM for now ( dont have much ES and had slight mana problems with it), put ice bite for energy leech in 6l. Atm working on swapping QotF to other, more useful chest ( belly most likely ). I kinda feel i am lacking damage atm.

Really enjoying this build btw !

If you use MoM, you can have only few mana reserved. So no Pride aura.
Seems to me your DPS is quite good. About 700k on 6th stage against Shaper.
Your daggers are good.
HP is good.

You can invest in the Ryslatha's belt.
You can add Ancestral Protector.

You can add a mod on your belt.
For anointment, Thrill Seeker is very average. Might want to allocate Mind Drinker, which is just the same but better. Or Mana Flows.

@Kerallis :

Stuff is very good for levelling.
Widowmaker daggers are A+
Murderous Eye is top-notch.

To improve :
- Remove Whirling Blades from the boots. Put Nightblade support instead for BF.
- Put Whirling Blades on the body, add Fortify.
- Add Precision aura level 1
- Add Ancestral Protector and multiple totems support
- You need an anti-bleed flask and an anti-freeze one

Buy the needed gems from Lily Roth in act6 town.

Some tips and advice

* With the new 3.9 version, we don't get that much DEX on the tree. Thus, the Shaper's Touch gloves are no more mandatory.

You can use good rare gloves or the Tombfist instead.

Shaper's gloves can be the BiS if you have enough DEX. Get at least 400 DEX total, otherwise it's not worth it IMO.

* Make money
From my experience, I can advise you to not waste your time picking up rare items.

Just pick up 1-square items. Currencies, maps, frags, essences etc.
Nothing to ID, nothing to vendor. Grab everything you walk on and then drop it into your stashes.
And let's not talk about the chaos recipe, which is IMO a big waste of time.

When you have 100+ alterations/jewellers/scour/chrom/fus etc. go sell them via the trade and do some quick dozens of chaos.

In Metamorph league, ignore most mobs, just collect the organs and then go kill the boss. If you have collected all organs in the map, Tane will appear and you can cook the Metamorph right away.
Start by selecting all organs from the left. See if you can get full juice (only possible in the Atlas). If yes, do it and collect the unique organ.
If no, try to select organs that will drop currencies, catalysts, maps...
When you do a Metamorph in Tane's Lab, choose organs that give currencies in priority.

Also, remember : you don't need a multi exalt build to have a strong character and enjoy the game. The more you know the game and improve your skills, the less expensive your build can be.

* Levelling

Don't try to full clear the maps, it's useless. Go only to the points of interests : Essences, Breach, Abyss etc.
And ofc, boss + Metamorph.

When you are in levels 75+, you can do Xoph's Breachstones. They are fairly easy.
I was able to go from level 78 to 79 with only 2 Xoph. 50% XP each ! They cost 6-8c.
In level 84, they still give 13% XP.

Gl & hf :)

Get 100% reduced reflected dmg taken

In Metamorph, it's now trivial to ignore the most annoying mods of maps, "monsters reflect 15% elem/phys dmg".

The 3.9 version of Sibyl's Lament ring now gives 80% reduced reflected dmg (up from 40% before).


With Master of Force on the tree, we get 100% reduced reflected phys dmg taken.
And with Yugul's Pantheon, 100% for elem dmg.

Finally, after years of skipping those maps, we can do them safely !

Thx for this build and ur work mate! Rly enjoy playing this build. can u pls help me what should i add/remove or change in my items, gems etc cause i think that something goin' wrong

@ispZM

Taproot daggers are ok, but now you can invest in better rare daggers. You'll need some mana leech on a ring, though.
Look for daggers with at least 1.7 attack/second and 280 phys DPS.
Poe.trade link : https://poe.trade/search/moyanitomonako

4000 life is not enough. You need to get closer to 4500 or even 5000 if possible.

Belt and rare ring are insufficient for your level. You need more life on each. Get +100 on the Belt, it's cheap.

Don't use the Sibyl's ring all the time, only if you do physical or elemental reflect maps. Get a rare ring with life, elem res, some mana leech, Dexterity.

You need anti-bleed on your life or diamond flasks.
+ Put 20% quality on the flasks : go see Weylam Roth in Oriath town, tab #4, he will sell you Glassblower Bubbles for Blacksmith Whetstones.

Also, choose either to take Mind Over Matter on the skill tree or to reserve more mana with auras, for more DPS : Flesh & Stone or Pride.

You must choose one banner. With the current setup, War Banner is better.

On the boots, you can put Prismatic Catalysts to upgrade the elem res. But it's expensive : 7*20 chaos.

Good luck and have fun, do not hesitate if you have other questions :)

Thank for ur help bro, so:

I changed both daggers for this

Bought this belt and 2 rings

got this flask and did 20% q for others.

With next lvl i reach, ill take MoM, so it means that i dont need f&S or pride?

Now i need 7 prismatic and put them on boots? am i right? can u explain pls mate.

Good stuff, you must feel better now :)

With Mind Over Matter, 30% of dmg is taken from mana before life. Then, you must have a lot of unreserved mana for it to work.
So no auras with lot a mana reserved = no F&S, no Pride etc.
Less DPS overall, but more tankiness.

Your previous setup lacked some elemental resistances, so I was advising to put Prismatic Catalyst on the boots, where you have lot of res.
Each catalyst costs ~7c and upgrades the elem mods of the item, and you need 20 for 20%q.
Now, you have lot of resistances over 75%, so you don't need them anymore.

And I was mistaken anyway : Catalysts only work on rings, amulet or belt.

Don't forget to put back the totems into the boots ;)

Hi Rahsaan,

Thanks for the awesome build and great explanation.
I am just wondering which passive tree are we supposed to use?

www.poeurl.com/cEdW
www.poeurl.com/cGa7

They are two different trees, going different directions

The first tree is the 3.8 version I was playing in Blight, which is DPS-oriented with lots of auras.

The second one is the new 3.9 version : less DPS but much more tankiness thx to Mind Over Matter. This is the one I'm playing in Metamorph.

Stuff is the same in both versions.

While I'm at it, here is my PoB in League at level 87 :
https://pastebin.com/u4AJ17Fb

Still levelling in yellow maps.
Played for 34h, 72 deaths.

At this point, the tree is complete.
The rest will be QoL for endgame. I'm going to allocate the new Shocking Strikes cluster (my gloves convert 25% of phys to lightning)

480k Shaper DPS without flasks at 6th stage, not release.
900k with flasks.

Current stuff :





Daggers : 25c each
Helmet : 1c
Body : 15c
Belt : 10c
Rings and amulet : 5c each
Boots, gloves : SSF, dirt cheap.

Total : >100c with tree jewels, anointments, quality currencies etc.
