Hello, after overpaying for boots and belt i was able to finally cap my resis after changing rings. Could someone help me out and tell me what to upgrade now? I'm struggling a bit with red tier maps atm, do I nee dmore damage?

This is my gear could you guys tell me what should I aim to get next? Helm enchant and 6L chest are way out of my budget atm.

I bought the daggers at the start of the league for ~6c are they good enough or do I need to upgrade them ?

I'm lvl 84 with 5037HP 320ES and 650 unreserved mana

The only difference between me and you are 6l inpulsa's and gem quality. I have no issues with endgame.

Hey Guys.
What's the most important stat on Inpulsa in your opinion? What's the order of importance from most to least? I'm planing to buy one :)

Life
Damaged if shocked recently
Effect of shock
explosion damage.

My preferences.

But what is "% Effect of shock"? I see no difference in PoB...

While shocked you deal to the enemy x times more damage.
With inpulsa's Y increaced effect of shock, the X will be increased by Y percent.

Hey,
I dont have enough currency for a Inpulsa right now.
Should i buy a 5l Carcass or 6lRare instead?

On which gems should we up the quality on? and which ones are worth trying get 21/20 on?

On all of them.
You open up poe wiki and look which ones are better at 21/20 and which ones are better at 20/23. Same goes for prioritising.

HC viable ?

Yes. Just copy RaizQT's tree.

What gems would you add considering i've got 3 extra spare slots and linked to what?

Portal gem, Flame Dash (to go over cliffs etc.), Lightning Golem (dies in higher tier maps though), Blood Rage for Frenzy Charges (the degen is annoying), Decoy Totem (helpful in some situations), Heralds linked to Empower (since you are not MoM) or Enlighten (allows for an extra aura e.g. Arctic Armor / frees up some mana for MoM).

First of all, your BV is only level 17, so levelling that to 20 will help a lot with damage. Getting quality on your BV support gems and Heralds will also help a bit.
Your weapons aren't the greatest in the world, but damage should not be a problem with this build. I don't understand how people can play without attack speed though, you must move at a snail's pace x)
All in all, I don't see huge problems with your character though.

PoB assumes that your shock always increases the damage taken by 50%, which is the maximum possible. This is highly misleading and inflates the shown DPS massively. It's the reason why Beacon of Ruin is so good: Our shocks always increase damage taken by at least 20% and this can be scaled with shock effect for even more damage.

Question about boss are u keeping hypotermia for boss ?

Why wouldn't we? Beacon of Ruin means that as long as we deal any amount of cold damage, the enemy gets chilled by at least 10%, so Hypothermia applies after the first hit. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Beacon_of_Ruin

Stick to your Tabula until you can afford Inpulsa's. It's massive for this build so I wouldn't delay getting it.

I like it, here's me after week 1, level 92. Probably look at some good weapons next.
EDIT: Yea swapped out div for a nice increase -



Don't really see the point in duration on blade vortex as anything that isn't a boss dies instantly on low stacks anyway so I went BV damage enchant instead, guessing the guide suggests duration instead for clear speed in maps?

I dont mean "increased Damage if you have Shocked an Enemy Recently"
I mean "increased Effect of Shock"

Maybe its the shockdurration but in PoB i see only ignite duration/stun duration.
And the stun duration is always the same no matter wich inpulsa i virtually equip
(one with "25% increased Effect of Shock" and one with "35% increased effect of shock")
Id like to understand what iam equipping - but this i dont get ^^

Ok, have to read this several times ^^
Sounds like this is the answer iam looking for.

edit:
checked the dmg in PoB - also no difference... :(

Thanks for the guide
