Hello, what do u guys think should be my next upgrade?
I was thinking in the staff, buy one with CWC, but mine is pretty good too... I've got no ideia of how to calculate which one would be better in damage.
Or maybe the watchers eye, so i can change the boots
Any clue?
Thanks
I'd go for a watcher's eye. Staff upgrade should be the last thing you look at.
Ok, thanks!
But do u think the rest of the build is fine so far? I mean, right rolls and etc(chest, for ex, although i'm trying to get the %life as ES craft, don't have it yet). Basically, not sure what i should upgrade, even after the watcher's eye
I'm not sure if it's better to use fire penetration, spell cascade or controlled destruction in the 6th link also, i'm using controlled, didn't try cascade or fire penetration...
Spell Cascade is good if your PC can handle it but also requires some gem reworks. Awakened Fire Pen will feel really good for maps with beefy resists or Ele Equilibrium.
The next step for the chest is to get Spell Crit+Offering Effect. There's a guide you can follow in the OP on how to make one yourself.
Hi guys, very nice build.
I am doing sirus6 easly (max what i got right now), but when there are this 4 beams and he shot at me i die almost instantly, is that corupted blood?
There are my items so far, what should i upgrade? Should i drop Spectre?

Your chest could use the offering & crit chance mod as an upgrade, and if you don't yet have a watcher's eye, that's pretty strong.
Getting corrupted blood on a jewel is not too expenisve on some of them, so look around. Should be able to get one under 2 ex.

Inspiration Support is what I used last league. They nerfed the gem and buffed monster resists making Awakened Fire much more appealing and more damage. Would not use Inspiration anymore.
Is PoB not up to date regarding monster resistances?
I looked at shaper DPS numbers and compared Inspiration to all other relevant dps gems and Inspiration came as the strongest choice.
Disclaimer: I understand that with AL8 and nasty map mods the regular monsters will have higher fire resistance than shaper. So I'll redo the test with even higher monster resistances.
A few weeks ago you posted in the comments your "current" (I used it as a reference point until I got better gears), and in that PoB you did not check fire exposure from wave of conviction. To that I added elemental weakness and one more elemntal penetration node from my tree. So maybe all that additional penetration from my setup compared to yours is the reason why Awakened Fire Penetration doesn't overtake Inspiration while it does for you.
I really encourage anybody looking for the right gem setup to do his own testing because min/maxing is a really nonlinear process and that small node that you choose to not take may change the validity of another choice.

Ahh! OOPS! Also yes, the more Pen you have elsewhere the less effective the gem becomes as it gives diminishing returns.
Worth noting, I was neither using Wise Oak (15%) nor Martyr (15%) at the time. I also was not using a -res curse but chose to go with enfeeble. You can also get 15% fire pen from a Watcher's Eye. Once you get enough of it the support gem stops being as good and should be replaced with something else. Awakened Controlled Destruction should be a big boost provided you have really high crit chance already. My next choice would be Inspiration after that.
So I got home in between and did the new tests. The previous ones where 2 weeks old with worst gears.
Now Awakened Controlled destruction takes over Inspiration for me. But what I was more interested to test is how sensitive is the Awakened Fire Penetration gem benefit as a function of the general fire penetration values your character has and how much fire res the monsters have. And it is extremelly sensitive. A 20% res or pen change and the which gems is best changes.
I won't provide the tresholds here as it is too character dependent, but friends, just add the gems in your pob and test for yourself, it is worth it!
