at this point, i've few questions that maybe can help other players too:

1. What's the best ascendecy between Rite of Ruin and War bringer
Maybe Rite it's better but i didn't dislike healing myself with Cries (u've to sacrifice the flame
golem)

2. My attack speed is not so fast, maybe its for my level?

3. Flasks are fine? atm im not having trouble w/o a life flask but i think ill need it in high tier map

4. Pantheon? im using Gruthkul and Brine King but im not sure of em

that's all for the moment, i hope that these questions could help someone else too
(i apologize for my english)

Thank you very much <3

1. It's up to what you want and how you want to play. It's your choice and I can't make it for you.

2. Quality on Frenzy and GMP helps tremendously with that.

3. I'd drop Silver Flask for a Basalt and make sure you get an anti-bleed mod on one of your flasks.

4. Pantheon isn't as strong for this build as it is for other builds like RF. Just pick whatever ones help you fill defensive gaps. I personally went with Brineking.

The reason why you keep under 4 aps is because Poet's Pen has an inbuilt cooldown of 0.25 seconds. If you attack faster than 4 times a second you are essentially having a 'dead' attack where neither of the spells will fire because it is still on cooldown.

CDR items lower the internal CD on Poet's Pen so then you can attack faster once you have those.

So ive been playing this build over the last 2 days (awesome leveling from 12 to like 65) since your bossing vid looked pretty fast on t16s

lvl 72 max res 5.7k hp (with kaoms o.0) lvl 19 gems and i feel like even in t5 maps it takes to long to kill magics/rares (more so if an abyss has spawned since theres so many mobs)


The only gear im really missing is the gloves but mine fit roles i need right now anyways
I havnt done merc/uber lab yet so maybe this is why it feels so low now?

Even with the 40% damage buff i dont see my char being able to do t16s fast and most likely not bosses (some t5 abyss mobs hit me hard x.X)

Anything i should be doing? char is open if you want to keep *FabledPoet*

I also feel like this spell should spawn more balls to cut down on casting/faster clearing of packs but im not sure if putting lesser multi with greater is the best idea if it already feels like it kills to slow

___________________________________________

With quality gems its pretty different indeed, i've bought em few hours after the post, u can see the difference.
Reguarding the Ascendency i've "heard" that war bringer its kinda useless, i've tryed it on other marauder and i found it quite nice, maybe rite of ruin its jus more worth than warbringer. One is for a defensive playstyle and one is more "aggro".

what pair of gloves i can change with oskarm if i don't have orbs for the acuity? (i've assassin's mark always up even w/o the oskarm gloves)

Thank you

Heya! Nice build, loved the leveling process, took me like 4-6hrs to rush through the acts. These pens are quite amazing!

Currently a lil bit struggling with early maps, but I also dont have a kaoms heart & I am still on leveling gear, so nothing's really good there. Is there a pob link for the non atziri gloves?

Also just out of curiosity, what do you think about shaper/elder amulets? Are they worth getting with frenzy/power/endurance charge on kill, if they roll good? currently using mine

Trying to take my build further. I haven't tested any sort of Elder bosses yet and sometimes the leech doesn't seem quite enough, i realise this when i see my character's hp going faster and i'm mashing all my potions and it continues to tank and then i die. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Here's my build link with two jewels (that dont sadly have life on them, can't seem to find any cheap ones with life)

And here's my gear with gemlinks.

Pens

Helmet

Spoiler

Rings & Kaoms

Gloves

Belt and Flasks

And lastly, boots.

Spoiler

I linked two boots because i bought the rares on a whim (for the enchant) and then i realised without the Sundance's 10% aspd boost my unbuffed VD drops from 27k to 26k tooltip. (2.68 attacks per second without haste) I don't own any level 20 gems atm as you can see. I also ran out of chromatics so now i'm saving up to roll 4 reds on the Oskarm. (But also uncertain if the lack of leech means i should keep the Slitherpinch for now)

Any suggestions? I'm also stocking up on gemcutters right now but not too certain which gems to prioritize on. Sorry for overload of info if it is; i have never REACHED, let alone cleared Shaper Guardians, breachlords on my own, i only in this league successfully cleared atziri on DP totems, and never deathless. I'm trying to improve as much as i can in my understanding of this game so that i can hope to do so if not this league do something like clear a guardian or two solo, next league.

I checked out your character.

You're low level with mediocre/bad gear and level 18 gems.
