[2.6] CI HoWA ST - Uber / Shaper / Guardians Down - Budget Friendly?

Ooh cool. I'm off to work now, but I've made my profile public now. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

One change I've been thinking about is swapping Depth Perception for Acuity, but I need to level for an extra passive point. The idea with Depth Perception was to get a bit of crit for better Ele Overload up time.

Thanks for the thorough explanation Doe, much appreciated!

I currently have just under 4 APS in HO, so FA is still a tempting option at the moment.

The biggest problem i had and why i took jewel sockets, was the not satisfying whirling speed.
Not sure how your tree looks like but the natural attackspeed you get should be 4+APS w/o APS jewels and attackspeed on gloves.

User tsijan1700 posted on top of this page and we changed his tree yesterday and brought him 10K DPS by just a simple treechange.

His character is private tho, so can't really see what he changed :P

old tree: poeurl.com/2sS
new tree at his current level: poeurl.com/2vL
new tree at his current level +3: poeurl.com/2vM

jewel socket right from ranger gets a fertile mind jewel.
the other jewel which are not in a honeyspot for fertiles will be a mixture AS/ES/Damage/int+dex

he went a bit down in ES from 12.8 to 10.6 but the reason for that is also the lack of flat ES on his jewellery which i recom him to work on, especially getting rid of the astramentis neck.

Finally getting around to trying this build, leveling atm - currently nearly 53 as of this post.

My issue is similar to when I made a ST build that wasn't HoWA earlier this league. The damage is all there on white trash mobs, but as soon as I hit blues/uniques, especially if they have Extra Life or other defensive mods, it takes me a hot damn minute to kill them with ST.

For bosses obviously I just swap to Slow Proj and go to town, but that's different.

Is this normal until I can equip the HoWA fists? You can check my current leveling gear and such via my profile.

The only thing I can think of is I haven't really taken advantage of any gem links yet in gear, as I am waiting b/c I don't want to drop currency on crappy leveling gear just for links.

Big tip for Shaper/Uber - link your Ancestral Protector with Culling Strike. Yeah you can get it on one of your claws, but this works just as well and is a lot cheaper. 1R1G Vorici on your Hubris Circlet is cheap, and you can put your Slower Proj / GMP in there as well for switching. Shaper gets pretty antsy around 10% life...

Hi guys I am looking at 4 different trees for HoWA and I cannot figure out which is (on paper) the best I have pulled the stats i think are most important from each of the trees and have highlighted the winners in green and the ties are the same color. I will also provide the trees themselves to look at. Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. in this video the guy is using Warchief Ancestral Protector totem. Is that a variation that should be looked into or not? And if so what would the links be? I saw DB42 posted something about this. should it only be a 2 link or is there a 4-link variation?

Passive skill tree build

Mine's almost exactly the same build, except I take a slightly shorter highway to Elemental Overload, through the middle portion.

Skill tree is fine, but what is your gear like.

I tried that but lost Dmg and ES, to make that back you need to use 1 additional very good rolled jewel.
