For the 3B, 2G, 1R chest: What should the third blue gem be? Seems weird to run a Concentrated effect and an Increased AoE gem


Awakened Increased AoE.
It's a quality of life thing. Conc. effect is our top dps increase, so we need it, but the Inc. AoE gem brings it back to almost the original area.

Between Less Duration and Aw. Inc. AoE is about the same damage overall, since you start damaging slightly earlier due to better range. But if you want top POB DPS - stick to Less Duration

ohhh, gotcha. Thanks! This build is super fun btw, I was kinda burned out on POE and this made it fun again.
Hi all
I follow this build and build my character can run A6 with 3 portal.
Sum up about my character.
- HP: 4k5
- Ele res: 75% (chaos res: 76%)
- CA DoT: 1m
- Death Aura: 160k
- Non Awakened gem

Some one talk above Death Aura can reach ~300~400k DoT.
So how can they get this damage, and how to improve CA to 2m~3m?

Hey guys, looking for information about Arrogance support instead of Less Duration for Death's Oath. Not much out there on this topic but checking on poe.ninja, most people are using Less Duration. However, in my build on PoB it shows more DoT dps while using Arrogance instead of Less Duration.

Is there something not being calculated with the duration aspect that makes Less Duration better? Or is perhaps my build lacking in Aura effectiveness so that the extra Aura effect from Arrogance makes it better?

Any feedback would help, thank you.
Should I level it with CA and Agony?

I must have misclicked something...

1. You have no way of activating Lifetap
2. Read the section about (Anomalous) Withering Step.

Fixing both will about double your DO DPS and add ~70% CA DPS

If you are asking about the Ascendant char you have, then it's a totally different beast you are trying to build there...

But anyway, Arrogance can definitely be better than Less Duration when you have almost no Aura Effect elsewhere. Especially since Less Duration is a pretty weak support.

I recommend leveling with CA and Skitterbots. Don't think HoA would be any good

But in general you can use anything you want to level.

I will upgrade to Anomalous Withering Step.

However, as you talk above why my death aura does not active Lifetap support?
I still see 6 support icon on death aura (open Character C)
