boneshatter help

I am dying alot with my boneshatter build. I have about 6 div to spend. Any help appreciated

So in order of cost and priority:

1) Roll some good flasks (Start with iLvl 81 bases if you want T1 prefix for Life flask though I just roll for a good Condensed which you can do any level. For the utility flasks you want ilvl 84 for T1 suffixes or at least ilvl 80 for Flagellant if you are fine with T2 suffixes):

a) I like Eternal Life Flask. Get Condensed (T2) or Catalysed (T1) as prefix. Note that a good Condensed roll is exactly the same as the top Catalysed roll (1.2secs). Your heal flasks right now need a few drinks each if you are suddenly super low. A Condensed Eternal will heal you to full more or less instantly in 1 press. You should therefore only need ONE life flask.

b) Flagellant Granite, Flagellant Jade, and Flagellant Basalt. Flagellant Quicksilver if you like. Get %armour and %evasion on 2 of them (any 2). Rest get whatever suffixes you want.

2) Fix your reservation efficiency. You annointed Wrecking Ball AND you took it on the tree. You can't double up like that. Switch over to Charisma, get an Enlighten 3 for your hungry auras, get a hat with reservation Eater implicit and/or suffix, and maybe move a couple of points to get a cluster jewel for reservation. Whatever you need to do because you are playing Iron Reflexes w/ no Grace.

If you have any money left, get a good Full Dragonscale, General's Brigandine, or Triumphant Lamellar. You want as high armour/evasion as possible on that piece.

If you cannot afford a good chest, slap on a Lioneye's Vision for now.

the tips are much appreciated! Thanks

Hello,

I am not the best player out there, but you can check my gear (all self crafted) and my tree to get some ideas.

As mentioned by TemjinGold you need alot of evasion on your gear for the iron reflexes, so I take the route of full Armour (also check the life mastery if your body armor has no life).

Also take into consideration that ailments immunity (shock - ignite) is helping alot, same with chaos resistance and every + in max resistances matters ALOT.

I use multistrike support only because I find it convenient (the impale is the safest aproach and I used it, but I experiment alot cause I don't use PoB).

Also boneshater scales very good with hight attack speed.

Good luck.

I'm still trying to get the right gear (on console) to start a Boneshatter Jugg, but some of the things I've found out from various experts.

1) Try to get a helmet with 24% chance for +1 trauma on hits. Helps to ramp them up quicker, and therefore your damage.

2) Try to get rings (or skill nodes/etc) with "damage recouped as life" or similar wording. Combined with the Jugg's Untiring ascendancy node, this will help to get life back during combat.

3) Reduced physical damage taken, and physical damage taken as [element] also helps a good deal. It can be gotten on for example helmet and body armour.

4) Divergent boneshatter would help too, but I assume it's not exactly cheap on PC either. Reason is that it gives extra attack speed, which again helps to ramp up trauma stacks and therefore damage quicker.

5) With the right tattoo, you can get "Fortify on hits" by using it on a +30 strength node, which you are near anyway. And ofc, with Precise Technique, you need to keep accuracy above your max life pool (have not checked, but mention it just in case).

6) Immortal Call in CWDT setup is better than Molten Shell. Due to self damage, you go through Molten Shell quick as a flash, so it's not terribly useful on a Boneshatter (or so I've been told by deep delvers).

7) Endurance charges are good for physical damage reduction, and for when you 'pop' Immortal Call.


It's possible already this build costs an arm and a leg, but it was made my Mario, one of the best deep delvers. If nothing else, it should be useful to see what gear, nodes and such he has slotted into place.

You can also check out Jorgen's YT channel if you haven't. He's posting many Boneshatter related videos, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-bgGqOqghQ

There is also this video by Subtractem about crafting a Boneshatter axe, among other similar ones by others. This is what I'm trying to do now, which sadly hasn't worked out so far, heh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoC7lbU27Es
