So is it good on farming guardians/doesn't get oneshot too often because of build's low hp?

The build has decent defense but when you run guardians etc. on hard mods you will probably die some times depending on your skill. Red Elder was kinda really easy ...

Hey, thanks for the guide. I started with a shattering steel build at the start of the league but was unimpressed with its damage early so I made another character.

I'm now just getting back to my SS character and am liking your build so far. My one question though is when do you think you should swap out Beltimber for another high dps sword? If I can get a 400+ DPS sword, do you think that's better than the ~340 DPS Beltimber + 2 projectiles that it gives?

Really hard to say but I guess no.

For higher single target dps two rare high dps swords may be better but I would stay with the beltimber because of the better clear speed and I don't think the difference is that big.

Hey guys. I recommend next to Beltimer, as second high dps sword unique Ahns Might. It has very high phys DPS. Its very cheap in comparison with high DPS rare swords. And somehow my Ahns Might that shows 340 phys DPS, in comparison with 400 phys DPS swords in PoB shows better total DPS. I think its because of +50% global crit. strike multiplier while i have not frenzy charges. Just ma small amount of wisdom. Have fun.
A paradoxia with phys, as, and quality (leaving one veiled mod free) can easily hit base 209dps, which is then effected by the swords double damage mod, making them the cheapest 400dps sword with high as and bonuses (I pale,bleed,blind,etc from that free veil).

I know everyone and their brother wants to theory craft massive projectile counts since we've become used to it from barrage play, but believe me, welding one of these - possibly two on e you get helmet enchant and dying sun, Isa huge boost over two beltimber/ grels.


I'd call it a midway approach, with dual 425+ rares being end game.

That said, just getting the bonus I pale chance is a huge dps boost, while 15%+ blind on hit with all our rapid hits,is a very nice defensive one- don't ignore paradoxia. Those swords are a damn higgen gem this league.


Do your maths obviously,but far shot isn't giving you a damn thing with ss having a leash on range,and more projectiles doesn't equal more damage all the time with these other options easily on the table.

A 209 dps paradoxica costs about 2-3ex ... so about the amount I spend for the whole gear of my char. I guess when you really get a good rolled one it is a decent weapon but imo not cheap.

The build is fun, the mana however seems to be always gone for me. I dont see any mana options in the tree, do you do flasks only?

You can try to get a jewel with mana on hit with attacks.
