After that step, you have a "Build sharing" juste under your character import on path of building. generate a code then click on share with Pastebin
Hi, does %Increased Damage affects our DPS?
Hi I'm a returning player, so there's a lot of new mechanics I'm not familiar with - a lot has changed... So this is the build that I'm running and I'm currently having a great time. I upgraded my gears, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong - dps or tankyness wise haha... Need help - how can I improve?

Gears:

Flask setup:

POB DPS: 22k
HP: 4.1k
ES: 1.4k

PS: since this is my league starter, I only have a little over an exalt :( so I feel like I can't upgrade my bow yet (I have the base bow tho)

Not sure about that, but I think that it gonna only increase your on hit damage, not the pods damage (which are your main source of dps)

First of all, you should get 20% quality gems for you lvl 20 skills (especillay for your lvl 20 bow gems). You can sell 1 lvl 20 gem + 1 gemcutter prism to a npc to have a lvl 1 20% quality gem)

You can buy an Empower gem (lvl 1 is not really expensive) for you 6L toxic rain, and replace damage on full life or efficacy by it.

If you got somme oils, craft a allocates corruption on your talisman (2 black oil + 1 crimson oil)

As soon as you have enough currency to craft your bow, do it it will be your higher dps upgrade.

You can try to use cluster jewels, when you reach lvl 92 or around I think. For a good cluster build idea, you can look at the build of Hedrock01 (page 198 of this thread). I use his clusters build since 3 weeks and it's nice (at first focus on large and medium cluster, then on small and unic).

My suggestion would be buy rank3 corrupted empower which is usually very cheap, and then if you want to level your own, buy lvl 1 uncorrupted one and level that in weapon swap. Slotting rank 1 empower in your main link is gonna take a lot of time to level meanwhile you'll be losing dps.

I'd probably also use swift affliction over damage on full life / efficacy, it's easier to counter the reduced skill duration nowadays esp. with clusters, meanwhile it provides better damage increase up front.

Damage on full life is good on paper but any person that says they die a lot and feel squishy probably doesn't get much benefit out of it.

Also you shouldn't ditch wither totem, you should always use it for bosses. @Ephraizer

It should. It increases all damage.

What works:
increased damage
increased damage over time
increased chaos damage
increased projectile damage
increased damage while wielding a bow
increased area damage

What doesn't work:
increased attack damage
increased projectile attack damage
increased damage with bows
increased physical damage
increased spell damage

The bolded parts are the ones that are most confusing because they look similar, but they aren't the same.

Also adds x to y (sometype of) damage to attacks only works for the hit, not for the pod. It will do very little. Keep that in mind if buying jewels. Best damage mod on abyssal jewel is "increased damage over time while wielding a two handed weapon", not "adds x to y chaos damage to attacks", the second one is for poison builds mostly.

It still can, the same way as always.


For some reason this season every time I unveiled weapon I was getting fire over time and cold over time mod 3x as often as chaos, dunno why.
