[3.10] Herald Power Siphon Guardian | OP as heck | Money making guide and Scion version included

I have a question. Why does 2x CoTB rings increase my dps by 20%? It doesnt seem right as:
1. I dont have any gain as extra chaos (turned off Atziris)
2. I dont have any gain ele as chaos
3. Not running Wrath
4. I am running ele weakness so it doesnt affect if dmg is converted or not
5. Not running cold pen

I just cant figure out why. Can anyone help explain is it worth running 2x COTB with Power Siphon?

Edit: Let's assume that I do not lose the auras in my unset rings (Dread Banner and Herald of Agony) when I swap over to CoTb. Just want to understand what's going on.

I just spent hours trying to figure out why my evade chance and phys reduction are so low, but I can't figure it out. Could someone take a look at my build please?

I heard there was a variant of this build that uses 4 voices? Does someone have the tree for that version?

Hi guys! Great build and thx for all the help in here.
I saved up some currency and just switched from LL to this build.

I m tanky as shit, but I lack single target damage... Everything insta died before, now i have to struggle sometimes with beast, bosses/dilerium bosses..
My dps pointing over the spell is only 500k. I have a barrage support 21/23, which I use against bosses.
I have 2 split personality, 3x 5 nodes voices and 8 jewels total with mana reserved (7 cobalt, 1 conqueror) I m trying to hit a cluster with it so I can use my last split personality. To buy 1 herald jewel is like 70 ex right now..

I m saving for a vitality/reduced amulet as we speak, but just have 68 mana left right now..

Could you pls take a look at my char and tell me what I m doing wrong?
Thx again!

Bumbing..!
Maybe easier with https://pastebin.com/K7kQVtcu

You are gutting your single target DPS with energy leech support.
Put in increased critical damage support (crit multiplier).
Breathstealer with Disintegration would also be better from my gut feeling but you need to check that in PoB. Hands of the High templar are worth it with more investment. The double curse is also no bueno since it always switches between them. Pure elemental weakness is far superior.
According to PoB your Crit Multi is at 176%. You are better of using Maligaros atm if that is correct.

Essentially you want to raise crit multiplier as high as possible for Single Traget DPS. Also get your AW Chain quality to 20..
Also craft that amulet yourself.

Leveled my Scion to 90 yesterday. The difference in DPS is already noticeable. Tankiness lacks with only Replenishing though. I reached the same DPS as my guardian lacking one PH/endbringer cluster.

Yes thx, i bought Maligaros and got a bit more damage. But I'm still working hard to kill lvl 20 wave simulacrum.. how do u ppl get so high crit multiplier? A good rolled watchers with crit stike chance% and crit multi %?

The 4 voices variant requires 2000 exalts at a bare minimum...

Probably has to do with the even higher cost of entry than the already expensive herald stacking "base" this builds on, so a lot of peeps try to copy empy, fail and then try to sell their gear.

I was disappointed aswell, when I switched from LL arc to CI PS, because my DPS would be 1/3rd of what it was, while also having less ES, even after investing a decent amount of EX on top.

You can't just slap on your default Herald Stacking gear with Nebulus and play this build, tbh.

After getting 300%+ crit multi, 7K+es and ele weakness gloves it feels like a totally different build. (Obviously :D)

Well, you need 1 point voices to make it work, as far as I know. You need 8 passives to get to the next cluster jewel socket + at least 10 passives to skill all endbringer/purp. harbinger skill nodes, so if you have 18 free passives and a voices1 laying around, you can try 4 voices.

And because you can't get all the jewel sockets, you need a lot of rmr on your medium cluster jewels, which are 55ex+ each rn.

Well that's a hard Pass :P. I'll focus on getting some upgrades to my current gear then. So far it absolutely destroys all content

Guys Im trying to prioritize my upgrades and I wonder how important is the helmet enchant? Does it helps vs single target with barrage support or only in clear speed with chain?

I think my priorities should be:

1. Better wand than Piscator.
2. Level 21 auras (waiting for my gems to hit lvl 20 so I will see if anything will upgrade to 21).
3. Alpha with the enchant.
4. Lvl 21/23 and awakened gems.
5. 5p voices.
6. Unnatural Instinct jewel.
7. More medium jewels and corrupting them for RMR implicit.

Is this order correct?
