Hey, I'm planning on trying out this build and I have enough currency to afford the % attributes Eyes of the Greatwolf, just wondering if the crit multi is necessary or if the damage is still good without it, considering one with the attribute/crit multi is currently selling for more than a headhunter

The damage without it is still really good. I used to use a really well rolled amber amulet with lots of strength and physical damage. Another option would be a three rat talisman that gives up to 16% increased attributes as an implicit.

Thanks for the response, I think I'll pick one up with attributes and max life or damage reduction to be a little tankier. Those seem to be a bit cheaper and I can probably get good crit multi from other places.

I like Astramentis with Cyclopen Coil. 50% increased damage from the belt with my stats. I tried changing to a belt with str and inc attributes, but overall damage went down a bit. I think my best upgrade would be EotGW with att and crit multi, but that is fucking expensive.

On the other hand, a Watcher's Eye with crit multi while using precision is great too, and I think less expensive.

Hey, decided to use this build for the league. Is the Iron Fortress body armour viable for this build?

In my pob, not so much (about 10% more dps?) but losing lots of life. Maybe I did something wrong though. Import and see for yourself.

Iron fortress is not an ideal endgame item, with 1500 strength it gives an additional 150% damage which might seem good but with our pillar we are already getting 2200% increased physical. The good part about the iron fortress is the block and strength but you lose out on so many other things it ultimately is pretty bad.

One thing I was wondering, how do you sustain mana against bosses? I know assassin's mark works for packs/legion stuff but I don't see anything to keep mana up against single target. Am I just blind?

Good question, I may have forgotten to mention this. I have a physical attack damage leeched as mana prefix on a viridian jewel for this. You only need the minimum which is 0.2% to fully cover your mana issues. You can also get this on other items such as a prefix on gloves or on rings.

Would this build be viable with Earthquake too? Any hints what to change/what to keep would be nice.

Please explain the Lethal Pride usage.

There is no explanation...which one, where to socket it?

The PoB in general is kinda a mess tbh
