" You're absolutely right on your gear, that's some top tier stuff. Given what you must have paid for that, I'm shocked you're not running at least near perfect claws yet. NICE 3 rat, btw. I'm seriously jealous. You'd be better off using Shaper's touch and taking the 2 points for Finesse and putting them into Cloth and Chain. That would give you 45% resist instead of the 48% currently on your gloves, and fix your accuracy issues, and it's cheap. Unless you pick up a set of Shaper's Touch corrupted with Elemental Weakness on hit! Expensive, but BIS for sure. Your Two-stone ring could use an upgrade. If you go the Shaper's Touch route, you won't need accuracy there, so just INT, resists, and a nice fat elemental damage roll. Not cheap, but not terribly hard to find, either. Belt... I'm on the fence there. Sure, you could get a crystal with much better ES, but somehow I doubt you're lacking in ES, and the reduced flask charges is really useful, especially with Primeval Force. To really make that shine, you should try out Alchemist as well. I'd swap out the DEX nodes near the ranger start for the projectile damage nodes below them as soon as you get a spare point.

" Your "Of Staunching" flask is a mana flask - it won't go off if you're at full mana. You are almost certainly dying to Corrupted Blood (or possibly Bleed as well) while at full mana. I recommend that you change this flask type to some utility flask that will always go off - preferably one giving you 3 applications before it's out of charges; not recommended - but possible - stick with the mana flask but make sure to use your main skill so that you're not at full mana.

" Hey Grimjack! Going for 40/40 this league? Also, if you don't mind sharing, what's your gear and DPS look like now? |

" No 40/40 for me this league - I'm taking a couple weeks off to go on vacation. Very limited internet access for the duration. We'll see what happens when I get back... Current gear:
Spoiler
Still room for some improvements, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost. Current tree: Passive skill tree build Running triple Fertile Minds, single Brute force solution, and the rest are triple mod damage jewels. Damage in HO is 36211 with nothing, 37597 with lightning golem, 43565 with golem and wrath, 52165 with Ancestral Protector as well. If I switch GMP for SP, fully buffed goes up to 89131. Path of Building says effective DPS is 126701.9 with GMP. I'm only running just over 9k ES, however, I haven't died from anything recently. Haven't found anything that can oneshot me in single player, and vinktars leeches me back to full health as fast as I can blink.

" Thank you for the advice. I got an excellent deal on that Talisman (I think), and I was very, very lucky with drops this league. |

Hey guys, think I posted my gear a while back, but I got no feedback on it, so I'm posting it again. :D
Spoiler
Skilltree: I only had a budget of around 4ex-ish, so I kinda had to make do with what I had. Int on rings/boot is low, es on helm could probably go higher. Could use a wise oak. Shaper's Touch vs my current gloves... on Path of Building, Touch gives me ~30k more dps (from like 360k) full buffed with slower proj, but 300 less es. My acc goes from 87% to 94%. Thoughts? Edit: How do I get my aps higher? It's at 4 atm with 8 frenzies and light golem, seen people have 6. Last edited by Fire309#4332 on Apr 20, 2017, 3:39:13 AM

Raping content even with filthy mods (not elem reflect though). Level 95 (char is ActuallyKillingSomeMobs), planning to push more to unlock one more jewel socket (maybe two more if I get to 100. quite sure that's the most optimal passive point allocation, need to run calcs on path of building).
Some stats : Tooltip is 56624 in highgate (no golem or aura) 5.24aps on ST and 1.22 on WB. GMP tooltip in hideout is 71432 with golem+aura. With totem 86244. SP tooltip in ho is 121568 with golem+aura. With totem 146481 With frenzy charges, vaal haste and EO, those numbers get really high. I don't even switch to SP unless guardians/shaper ES is 11588 (I don't run discipline) Pefect tri resists for wise oak (fire=cold=lightning res without vinktar/dying sun) No shaper's touch, I have 2xT1 accuracy on gear (90% chance to hit with 410 dex, and NO i'm not divining the hubris. at least not for now) Currently running 3 fertile mind + 1 brute force and two 4-affixes rares Here is my gear :
Spoiler
I don't know how to link equipped jewels but one is 3xas 1xproj dmg and the other is 3xas 1xlightning dmg. I have another jewel waiting to be used with 2as mods, %lightning dmg and %proj dmg. (Slot between witch and scion, with +int nodes on the way) Need to get that clean +30 on helm (2-3 missions off cata7) and spam more essence in order to get better rings. Boot enchant is trash, no luck so far (maybe 50 runs, not sure). In mix/max scenario is 16%as/cs better than +1 gems (for HoT+wrath) ? Also could use curse with elemental weakness on gloves... I'm keeping the astramentis because dex is love (bleeding currency to get a +1frenz charges atm). I also don't have the balls to slam gloves+boots. Need 20/23 FA instead of 21/20 too. Maybe 23/30 WB too ^^ For bosses I switch Dying Sun with an Alchemist's Sulphur and I socket an empower in the HoT+wrath links. Trying a CoH setup with OoS+conductivity and some self cast too. Not sure what I prefer. Everything dies so quick no matter what anyways. Please suggest any further optimizations ! Last edited by umm0n#6756 on Apr 20, 2017, 4:41:11 AM

" Your gear is pretty amazing; you obviously know how to optimize. Obviously some of your gems might benefit from corruption to level 21: golem, totem - but the DPS gain is slight. ========== Another consideration... A departure from optimal DPS would be Head Hunter - faster map clear speed plus more fun while doing so. This may or may not appeal to you. =========== Finally (and obviously) - level some more. You're level 95 and may have had enough leveling for a league - but the more levels you get the more nodes you can take and consequently the higher DPS available to you. If you're not adverse to grouping - a Poorjoys map group may be the fastest leveling option. Last edited by hankinsohl#1231 on Apr 20, 2017, 6:08:12 AM

The build is perfectly capable of doing elemental reflect maps. Just switch WED for life leech and you're set.
