Yeah the gem levels need to match, if CWDT says "supports gems up to level x" that's the character level gem requires, not the gem level itself.

TIL! I guess there's two variations I'm seeing on this thread: 1) Low level CWDT with IC or 2)high level CWDT + Steelskin

You can buy 6-link silverbranch + silverwood prophecy to upgrade it to silverbough and run that until you can craft a better bow (it's slightly better than a plain +2 essence bow).

I'm seeing some +1 support/+2 bow gem bows with chaos dot for 2ex. Are they worth buying outright or am I better off saving for the big upgrade (+1/+2 support gems)? I'd be spending all my currency essentially on that 2ex bow...

Belt until you can afford stygian vise should be life + resists, at least 90 points in resists combined imo (across 2 or 3 resists is fine), since we need specific jewellery to fix mana issues belt is the best target for early "resist stat stick", you can also fit some resists on rare jewels in the tree.

Ahh I wish I saw this comment before I dropped 90c on this belt here.
Big upgrade from my last belt still but more on the damage side than resists. I'm still res capped atm but I've yet to swap out my stat stick quiver. Hope it all works out.

Should i look at the pob or at the written guide? They look quite different

I have mainly only followed the pob for skill tree, I looked at the recent forum posts to see what gear and the stats I should aim for.




I have upgraded my ring/amulet, any suggestions for the next? Around 6ex to work with. I was thinking about buying either Maloneys or getting a better crafted bow.

just got an hh yesterday,
but still dps still low. chaos dps is around 40kish
hp and es combined stands at around 5.1k
already have bow with +1 +2 on gems aspd and chaos dmage

didn't follow the tree and explored on extending on a cluster gem
evasion stands at around 65%

Buy a lvl 21 toxic rain and at least lvl 3 empower. You're losing +2 levels for basically nothing.

That belt is okay as long as the lack of resists won't prevent you from upgrading other pieces.

Tbh I'm not 100% sure if it's better to craft that kind of bow or buy one, but a +3 bow for 2ex if it's 6-linked and doesn't have any visible flaws is probably worth 2ex.

Swift affliction or efficacy? I see alot of bows that run 6links 5g 1r with swift.. is that better than running efficacy?

Ahh I realized its not one of those "can have 3 crafted modifiers" bows. It's a regular +3 with just chaos dot. Still worth 2ex?

thanks will do later
just rerolled some cluster gems

hp and es around 4.7k-4.9k

dps is around 50k with 3 frenzies

How else can i min-max this character.

I was thinking a double dmg quiver and maybe better att speed gloves?

A watchers eye with malevolence maybe? but that's super expensive atm

Anything else stand out as obvious? Thanks. loving the build so far

Thoughts on using these boots?



They seem pretty ideal with the +2 to Socketed Chaos Gems and 10% Chance to Dodge Attack Hits, and the guide says that boots with Tailwind and Elusive on crit might be better than Atziri's Step. The thing is that I'm unsure if we actually proc a crit enough in this build for it to be worthwhile as is; my crit rate is around 6%. Would it be worthwhile for me to get increased crit chance from somewhere or should I abandon the idea of using these boots?
