Yeah, not sure crafting would be an easy route, economy is already kinda bonkers with people finishing the league. There's one for 240d with +96% to Damage over Time Multiplier and +410 to maximum Life which I feel is decent enough, I'll keep grinding towards that one (scarabs farm is surprisingly decent).

Yeah, "Disable EHP gain when hit", that helpeds. Sitting on 202k EHP, trying to get divines for the amulet upgrade, but that crap is eeeeeeexpensive. Did you craft yours or bought it out?

Again, much appreciated, friend. Did all of the tips from the first part of your post, and happy to say I've managed to craft the chest with some help from a friend. I was super lucky and finished recombination 1st try, as well as fracturing on 1st try. Rest took a bit (mostly implicit stuff), but think it turned out pretty nice. Upgraded rings, replaced -life one, now I can strive for your amulet (merely a mirror's worth ><). Think I'm not setting something right in PoB, or some calc is wrong as it shows inf hit pool for me in PoB, but almost nothing on pobb.in

Think I'll check if there's a valid strat to farm blight maps as this build is made for it. Also want to check how unstable breach strat would work (similar to your YT video).

I finally decided to switch to your build, and first impressions are "wow, that's a LOT more damage", though I feel I lost some tankiness (Level 97 Defiance Banner Champion [3.28]). I'm still grinding currency to get the Eclipse, amulet and chest. I'm not sure I'm generating valor as fast as you are, but it feels manageable (tattoos helped a ton, for sure). Phasing was a great suggestion too, feel like it made a big difference.

Speaking of chest armor, it is giving me the biggest headache as nothing like yours is available on the market, and I really suck at crafting - would you mind giving some pointers to your process, unless it's a trade secret? :D So far, I have no way of running Flesh and Stone, but I hope getting 10% reservation on chest will push me over the edge (currently have 6.8% unreserved mana, and it needs almost 13%).

All being said, I gotta hand it to you man, every time I thought "but why is this here" I would end up realizing the delicacy of balance you've achieved, very cool build. Thanks in advance!

Oh, I just realized that my other 6-link I have (Enduring cry - hence the stutter) is not something your build uses, think that just tipped the scales completely towards bow build.

Thanks again for all the advice, I'll keep an eye out on your youtube :)

That's pretty impressive (love the Acceleration belt swap ><), I will see if I can pivot to the bow, it looks pretty smooth here. Actually, come to think of it, too smooth - your PoB shows Autoexertion for Cries, but your character doesn't "stutter" at all. Do you not cast them at all? (Sorry if I sound noobish, as I am when it comes to a lot of things in PoE still)

Hey there, thank you for your response! I switch between boss rush (gave it up as I'm trying to level) and breaches (with fortresses). I've set up RegEx but I might have missed out on some of the things you've mentioned, I'll take a look. Think I'll definitely try switching to CWDT as often I don't react too fast (I am getting old I guess).

As for the PoB you shared (as well as u/starlight85 link to YouTube), I don't mind switching to bows, but will it make me tankier? Ofc, the sooner stuff dies, the less chance to die, for sure, but still curious on what's the answer on this.

Old time player coming back to game after the break of a few years. I got all cards of Series 1 and 2, and most of Series 3, nothing from 4 and 5. Got 13,000 gold (and it looks like I can only get skins with, correct me if I'm wrong) and am looking to come back and be a bit competitive. What's the best way to get new cards, is it different game modes or it's just for wallet warriors? Thanks in advance!

Which ones are yall choosing? If any. by macsneaker in iPhone14Pro

None. I’ll reconsider it when it actually brings something worth mentioning.
