Do the nodes giving attributes inside a from nothing ring don't work?
I noticed that the ones from the controlled metamorphosis don't work also.

I am losing 30 Int like that. I would like to find a way to fix it otherwise it might be better to remove the from nothing for mind over matter for

Hey, i'm new to PoE and currently following your guide.
Thanks for sharing !
You wrote to switch to wand/scepter when finding good ones, and to keep Gelid staff in weapon set 2, unbinding all skills for it... The purpose is to use Freezing shards on bosses for better single target dps ?

Can anyone confirm ? please

Edit : Woopsie, i got answer, ty !

Yes. Freezing Shards are very strong at the beginning of the game. Later we'll ditch it.

Thanks !

Yes, just like CM.
I'm not sure if it is a bug or an intended way to work anymore.

Well I certainly appreciate this info! Honestly didn't even check the price for the 45%, I just threw it in my stash and figured I'd look into it at a later time. I've never even had 5 div at one time so if I could make even 10 that would be amazing.

I'm guessing that's a bug, since you have to grab some of those nodes to even slot those jewels or move past them. Good catch though, I hadn't noticed this.

Been playing a bit more with my new setup with Morior/Maligaro. Still feels pretty good, but definitely a bit more squishy with lower ES and mana. With Grim Feast and 2500 ES I had a few extra seconds to hit panic buttons in dicey situations, now it's a lot of close calls or unexpected quick deaths (usually from projectiles). Wondering if I should switch back until I can get a more complete gear setup? The damage output is really satisfying so I'm having a hard time deciding which approach is better.

My main issue after the switch was res. Right now my Morior (which is corrupted with 11% per slot instead of 10) is filled with +5% res soul cores which is the only reason I'm still above 75% on all three. I could swap one out for 2% mana but any more than that and I will be short. Any suggestions on this point that aren't incredibly pricey? I'd love to grab a 3-charm belt with decent resistances but they're not quite affordable yet. I will post an updated maxroll in a bit in case that helps.

Another random question -- in order to get the gloves slotted, I swapped around some passives for Dex, then slotted the gloves and remapped those nodes. Is this what others are doing as well?

edit: new maxroll https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/v35tu0d6
While putting this together, I realized that I don't actually know how I have enough Strength to wield the sceptre. Only have 3 nodes on Str and the belt adds 28. Not complaining, though, haha. Do wish they would make the weapon set 1 colors more dark red, very hard to see them in-game.

Can I have feedback for my build? Especially how to scale damage.
Other people CoC comet damage is at least 1 million but for me it's only 150k (in game dps sheet)

Here is my POB

Any feedback is welcome, thanks.

I would like to ask one more question. First of all, thank you for your help. While mapping, I eat only one and this has started to happen frequently. I have no problems, only the sapphire fragment is missing and the other parts of the build are finished, level 92. I use the endgame skills in the link, but is there a point I need to change for mapping? I saw shield collection in some of your videos, I would be happy if you help me. I'm stuck at 92, should I buy a sapphire fragment? Skills end game : https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/6x7q0cm3

Note: I solved the problem of not being able to summon minions. If you activate the minion from the normal skills and turn it off again, the bug of the skills on the staff is solved. ty

Ingame DPS will not show you the numbers after +30% is frozen, +30% if shocked, +40% if triggered recently, etc. Monik confirmed, he created the screenshots midfight and it shows real numbers. Thy to go to act 3 or cruel, open skill panel and kill a few packs of mobs

Sairef is leading you in the right direction but to add to what he has already told you. Just know that none of us are getting a million+ damage per comet while using Impetus with Energy Retention.(Maybe someone is haha I could be wrong :P LOL) We are getting over a million once we replace those support gems with Elemental Focus & Concentrated Effect. Before getting 7k mana and a +3 to all spell skills amulet, I was hitting around 900k comets. Once you get a +4 wand and get your mana around close to 5k+ you should see a good amount of damage increase on all spell skills. Levels are our biggest damage increase. For my build I get 13.5% MORE damage per skill level. 2.25% MORE damage per mana threshold(every 100 mana), 0.14% MORE damage per 1% of spell/lightning/elemental damage increase. Knowing this you should be trying to prioritize levels above all other modifiers. Now if I can just generate 400 more divines I can get my comet to 2.1 million damage... probably won't happen LOL!

Edit: Also don't forget about soul offering. We don't see these numbers before soul offering. :)

It have nice some sorta shotgun mechanic. I wish I could tinker more and it's fun thing but falls off very very quickly during campaign. Also you need a damn ton of cast speed to make it plausable.

We have other staffs in the game and from my experience they always losing to wand+focus combo later on
