Been farming up currency for late game gear the last week and a few questions about late game setups came up for me: Inc Crit Strikes gem: I see many setups going with this. My planned POB DPS (+70% effective crit chance) is about 10% lower than having Efficacy when I slot it. What is your reason for running it? Higher freeze chance? Only as a swap for Conc Effect? Is +70% crit too low and I should go for 80% and higher? Taste of Hate: Would give me less DPS than a Wise Oak, even unbalanced. Are the defensive parts of those flasks comparable? Is Taste of hate clearly better? Inc Crit works best in most scenarios, but if you already have tons of crit on your gear and tree then another support can be more beneficial, whatever PoB says. 50% unbuffed crit should be enough. Taste of hate is more desirable because it is pretty much the only form of physical damage mitigation we've got. Thank you for confirming my suspicions! Often I get lost in PoB hunting for the most DPS and forget I have to be alive somehow to even deal that damage. I can totally understand now why you went for Phase/Acro too. Doing 10% more DPS is not important, the damage is ridiculous anyways. I'll be sure to invest into a ToH when going for Guardians/Shaper. PS: It's a real shame instant leech is gone, that would have made it an even more absurd build.

I'm currently level 87 and sitting at just over 4500 life (163% from the tree), with ~800 unreserved mana for MoM. Also at around 1m dps according to PoB, and I'm only running up to T10 maps right now, so I can probably afford to drop a bit. So, probably replace my amulet with a rare with life, res, and ??. I'm not sure where to go from there though...try to get %life jewels for my tree? And maybe upgrade a ring? I only have about 1.5ex to play with, so any advice in that budget range would be appreciated. Edit: Also just to note, I still don't have Beacon of Ruin either. Stupid Trial of Stinging Doubt hasn't spawned in 100-150 maps. I hate this game some times :/ Your coral ring and boots suck, swap to something with more life. I would personally swap that amulet for a rare one but that's just me. You absolutely need Beacon of Ruin. If you're not SSF just go to global 820, people hand out trials there all the time. Then ditch the 6L and get a 5L Inpulsa. That's about all the changes you need to make.	Posted by tyranius#1919 on Jun 18, 2018, 8:36:49 PM Quote this Post
Hey guys... have played this build for 3.2 and the leveling event and it is even better in 3.3. The one question I have is what gems do you all think we should focus on using the Double corruption in the temple. Should we try for our heralds 23/21 or some of the dps gems with BV...? If you had to pick a top 5 gems in order what would your list look like? I'm thinking BV to 20/21 Vaal BV, all 3 heralds to 23/21 and then im not sure.. one of the dps gems in BV setup or my golem?

What do you think of this amulet with a mod of "10% to gain a power, frenzy or endurance charge on kill" It is worth investing in multiple crafted ??	Posted by Galega7#4833 on Jun 18, 2018, 10:27:03 PM Quote this Post

5.2k HP, 700 unreserved mana. Been rolling around pretty well. Level 87. I need some help with what to go for next. Currently have about 2ex available. Do I save up for a 6L inpulsa? Do I get shaper's mark and an elder ring? Do I get a better dagger + stat stick? anything else? Some advice on how to improve please	Posted by kluch#2492 on Jun 19, 2018, 3:43:07 AM Quote this Post
2.9kk dps right now without taste of hate, level 84 with 5580hp. At lvl 90 will be 6100hp, 3.5kk dps with taste of hate and some nodes on critmilti. Shaper already easy done, t16 easy done. Thx for the guide.	Posted by SWWx#4329 on Jun 19, 2018, 4:01:36 AM Quote this Post
Why do we use 2 times Warlords Mark? What happens if i replace the second mark (the lower lvl version with cwdt) with an golem?	Posted by Rodman_Exile#3784 on Jun 19, 2018, 4:15:21 AM Quote this Post

One of them is triggered by Herald of lighting (which is more important in my opinion) the other when you take damage. More reliable to have them both but ultimately Elder ring is better and can replace both of them. If you are short on gem slots I would go for the one with the lightning which generates more curses at the end of the day. You can go for the golem linked with the CWDT it is not that big of a deal.
