Thank you for the guide!
I have a question, is it worth supporting flesh and stone with maim and running a different support gem on cyclone?
Maim affects flesh and stone while in blood stance

I personally don't think so. Maim support for flesh and stone makes the reservation go up to 28%. Swapping out maim in 6L for melee (best choice) gives us just under 2% more damage at endgame, however we would need a conq efficiency jewel to run Maim support on F&S, which actually brings our dmg down 4% and less life gained from a nice rare jewel.

When is the best time to drop dread banner? Or do you just carry it entire time?

legacy atziri's Acuity vaal gauntlets is good for this build?

I drop it right before it's time to attack guardians/shaper/harder bosses. If you time it right you'll get a few spins in with adrenaline which significant

If you can figure out a way to crit with RT holla atcha boi

How are you running all of the auras?

Pride - 50% reserved
Blood and Sand - 10% reserved
Vulnerability - 35% reserved
Dread Banner - 10% reserved

That comes to 105%. I don't know how to run all of these at once.

cheap sword until I can have the star forge???

Two corrections:

- Dread Banner does not give Adrenaline, War Banner does. Dread Banner simply gives Fortify on placement. If you want Adrenaline, you need to run War Banner. So either you're running the passive Impale via Dread, or getting accuracy passively with War, but getting the massive damage boost for bosses.

- "Maim makes Flesh and Stone reserve to 28%"
You don't link Maim Support to Flesh and Stone - F&S makes your attacks *Maim* while in Blood Stance. So it would be 25% reserved for the Maim.

Without Enlighten 4, running Purity + F&S + Blood&Sand + Dread/War Banner is more DPS for me in low budget gear than Pride + Vuln. At least for clear, on bosses the stacking + % phys will add up. But the extra Melee Phys or Impale in Cyclone is worth it.

edit: On second thought, this is *definitely* the way to go.
Impale Support instead of Melee Phys - and War Banner instead of Dread. You'll get impale and the %phys taken from War Banner plus the massive Adrenaline.

Thanks for corrections man! *Writes to memory/hard drive clicking noises* All the new stuff is _VERY_ new for me and trying to make it all work together to the best of my abilities while being busy af. Not an excuse, just reasons haha. I just always see people saying "I run F/S with maim", so I erroneously assumed they linked them. I'll get back to PoB on it for the endgame stuff and see what is best. Love the feedback!
