BV triple herald weapon on budget help!

a Divinarius just dropped and I saw somewhere that people tend to use this until they can afford a +phys/x shaper/eld weapon. my budget is around 50c and im on xbox where the market sucks so it's gonna be awhile before i'm rich enough for those cool looking weapons! is divinarius best in slot for mapping up to t16? I don't have an impulsa either just rocking a rare chest if that helps clarify anything. Also should I use a shield with it? any suggestions? Or buy another divinarius would benefit how? right now im using 2 generic wands with lots of +spell dmg but i think that sucks <3 ALSO im not using Elemental Overload and i'm lvl 92 if that helps any of you great thinkers! Any tips are appreciated this is my first season playing POE and i'm overwhelmed with what is best for me!

Welcome exile,

it´s hard to say without more info.

PoB would be the best but it´s a bit more complicated for XBOX

PoB = Path of building planner (it´s possible to upload your build manually there - creating items etc)

If you play crit build you can stick with Divinarius.
Or you can look for alternatives

Good scepters alternative

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doryani%27s_Catalyst

Sword alternative (free shaper mod; attack speed as bonus)
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Princess
- it adds a bit less damage than hatred aura

You can use shield charge for movement with shield and scepter

You can use whirling blades with sword / dagger (divinarius)

You can´t use shield charge or whirling blades with wands (just flame dash or light warp)

You can proc "fortify buff" while using melee weapon (other than wand) - usually movements skill linked with faster attack + fortify
Fortify - https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Fortify

Most people use movement skill to move faster and proc fortify buff but good wand is also an alternative (usually cheaper and some wands have very good stats etc)

There are also rare alternatives and top rares are usually BiS.
I have no idea about prices on XbOX but you have more alternatives.

Thanks for the thorough reply!!
I just looked into POB and there is no feature to import so I would have to manually type and find each item and copy the entire skill tree which would probably take 3 hours :(
I've just been using whirling blades beacuse speed wasnt my priority but now that im better at the game i wanna swap to one of the 2 you mentioned.
When duel wielding 2 divinarius do i get the 20% increased aoe combined or does only one work? I hear they nerfed stat sticks but a stat stick isnt 2 daggers its like when u use a dagger and a sword or am i wrong?

Yeah but is it possible on XBOX I doubt.

goostoff - you can dual wield two divinarius and get AoE effect doubled (it´s global mod).

Shaper mods such as Gain #% of Physical Damage as Extra elemental (cold, fire, light) damage has been nerfed (by 50% but it doesn´t matter for you).

You can´t profit from using one handed weapon to attack while holding different weapon type in the second slot just for an extra buffs (stat stick) anymore.
Both weapons are alternating while attacking now.
