Are the Raider Flame/Flesh jewels worth it?

Kind of? The bonuses are nice and help make up for the loss of int from dropping the two jewels. But I'm honestly just not convinced they're worth the high exalt cost they currently go for.

Ok, I know this is a dumb question, but does the mod "% Increased Elemental Damage with Attack Skills" apply here? I'm assuming no, since Icestorm is a spell, but I've seen some gearing that suggests yes...?

It doesn't effect Ice Storm, but prefixes on rings outside of energy shield and mana if you convert aren't very important to our gearing, so you'll see stuff like that and life etc. even though we don't use them.

38/40 for the first time ever.

I'm done with this league, thank you so much for this guide and for the support!

Hey loving the clear of the build but I feel like my boss dmg is pretty poor with my current gear, anyone got any tips?

Here is my gear, I've only bought gems for the staff so I'm still leveling some.
I'm also working on getting higher character level for the megalomaniac jewels.


Thankful for tips and pointers if I've missed some crucial information and made any mistakes :D

Grab a second Whispering Ice and use the self-cast gem setup for bosses.

That was my 2nd staff for boss setup, so the self cast setup is better for boss dmg?
Edit: swapped Cyclone for cold pen and cwc for intensify and the dmg was slightly better but a lot more dangerous :/ so safer to take my time I guess

Made a helmet today

I got around to trying out secrets of suffering, and it feels AMAZING.



I wouldn't do it early, as the loss of freeze as a defensive mechanic is certainly felt, but once above 10-11k ES it's an insane damage boost.

I'm currently at 740k average hit against sirus in PoB unflasked. I get 15% brittle on all enemies except wave 29/30 Omni/Kosis, where it caps out around 10% brittle.

I only need a 11-12% brittle to hit 100% crit chance unflasked, so I'll try to incorporate the trinity hybrid version and see how that works, if I can get a significant scorch in addition to a sufficient brittle.


Guardians and elderslayers die within 1, at most 2, rotations of their various invulnerability phases - Drox e.g. goes into his "force bubble"-mode before he drops his first banners and dies before he gets out. The Cortex-bosses don't get to cast any ability.


I haven't attempted the feared yet because last time, U-Atziri kicked my butt :(. Phys is really the only dangerous form of damage left.

Couldn't you try to get minimum endu on rings and phys2ele on body & helm?
