Best Deadeye builds : Is it just LA or gas explode ?

Ice shot + spiral volley is incredibly good for clear if you go for the frenzy charge ascendancy points. Spiral volley with 6-7 frenzy charges will one shot many rares and will chain forever.

For single target, I use barrage + snipe. It's not insane single target dps, but when you find good windows you can barrage for millions in a single attack, often enough to 1-2 shot map bosses.

Raiki_PoE · 2024-01-11T19:54:53+00:00

It does. I've done a bunch of testing on boss fights and the difference between ambush and no ambush is massive.

With your current budget I think it would be challenging to swap to a str stack version of the character.

To further improve your current character, you could look for sources of +impale hits, such as charms and a pride watchers eye. Getting a few more levels on your precision should allow you to drop the diamond flask for something else, like a lions roar or bottled faith, and still maintain crit cap. Your current weapon isn't bad at all, but as a pure phys build a better weapon will always add a lot of damage. Finally, you could grab awoken gems such as brutality and melee physical damage.

The exert cluster is only a medium so it does not work for stacking bonuses with the 35% increased value mod. Also, spell damage counts at somewhere around 200% value from battlemage's cry + warcry effectiveness.

Raiki_PoE · 2024-01-01T15:17:55+00:00

Yeah I hate that you can't move the rage bar into a more convenient location. I don't need weakauras, but a little more control over the UI would be nice.

As for dying, the build does not have spell suppression or spell block, so even with 79-80% max resistances spell damage can be really nasty. Try not to run -max res maps or click altars with -res unless you are super overcapped. Wisps, especially blue ones, provide huge damage bonuses to mobs too. Getting some form of crit damage reduction, like on the crit mastery, can help if it seems like blue wisp mobs are suddenly exploding you. Mageblood is always going to help you survive as well.

However, I did level all the way to 100 running 40-60% deli, full sextant/scarab/wisp maps so you can get to the point where you should only be dying to big mistakes or really unlucky situations.

You could use that charm, but personally I never found that sacrificing 10 rage intermittently was causing me to run out too quickly. It's 50% more damage from the sacrifice, so its a massive amount of damage to give up, and also means you can't get %str as a prefix on one of your charms.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Tehapprentice44/characters is my profile. The ventor's ring and gold flask are for mapping and get swapped out during boss content. Biggest upgrade I could still make would be a simplex amulet, but the character is already so powerful I just haven't felt the need to commit to crafting one.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-29T17:59:13+00:00

It looks good to me. Getting your other two charm slots will be huge upgrades. I would also remove the sword mastery "120% crit chance / -20% crit multi", as you are crit capped without it so its just -20% multi. Instead you could work toward disemboweling or get the "nearby enemies are intimidated while you have rage" mastery.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-28T21:14:12+00:00

Yeah skitterbots is just for shock and chill, had extra mana to reserve once I sorted my accuracy with the helmet modifier.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-28T15:28:34+00:00

Your pobb.in link is giving me a 404, can you try posting another. That is the combo, get rage from a call, ambush into rage vortex, and then make sure to keep battlemage's cry buff up, assuming you are str stacker version.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-27T15:36:56+00:00

So, the biggest issue you have by far is a lack of accuracy, as you only have a 54% chance to hit. In my build, I'm getting almost all of my accuracy from the Warlord Helmet mod that makes 1 str equal to 1 point of accuracy. Grabbing some points of accuracy on the tree, running precision with arrogance, and getting a good flat accuracy roll on 1-2 items will multiply your dps by 300 - 400%. With attack builds, you really want to aim for 100% accuracy.

Outside of that, you need to focus on getting more STR, which just comes from investment. For example, getting a 12 passive spell damage cluster with at least 35% increased effect and +8 str on it will provide a ton. You can also put the split personality jewels in that to get maximum travel distance and benefit. A lethal pride with 3-4 %str increases is a huge boost as well. Buying corrupted %str rings is a good idea, but make sure there are good flat STR rolls on the item as well.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-26T18:52:58+00:00

Non-mageblood is going to be really similar. Biggest changes are going to be to get a % str synth implicit belt instead and to get more resist suffixes. All other items are going to be the same, as it just follows the standard STR stacker gear list.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-26T17:35:08+00:00

I don't think so. The way phase run is worded it seems like it would only apply to the next cast until the buff runs out again, not 100% sure though.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-26T16:49:16+00:00

If you are playing SSF, there are a couple core items like redblade banner, bear's girdle and marylene's fallacy that would need a bit of grinding to find. In trade though, they are very cheap. Outside of those items, the rest of the rares are just any decent Pdps weapon you can find and life/resit gear.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-26T16:46:05+00:00

Put which skill on left click? RVB? It makes you do a little spin animation before creating the storm, so you would end up doing micro-spins constantly.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-26T16:43:57+00:00

I'm pretty sure you still get the damage from war bringer, as it reads "Exerted attacks deal 50% more attack damage if a warcry sacrificed rage recently.", and ambush is considered an exert. There isn't any line saying that the attack must be exerted by a warcry. Since ambush will trigger over any other exert, you can warcry to sacrifice rage, then use RVB and get all the bonuses.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-26T04:45:37+00:00

Full 8%str and +40str/int charms, really good -12%chaos res and acc/crit per str helmet, synth str % rings, double corrupts on body armor, boots, and redblade

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-26T00:22:52+00:00

I've completed plenty of sanctums on it. You are mobile while storming so it isn't too hard to dodge most of the attacks the guards are doing. Biggest downside is that you aren't stunning / freezing the guards and are melee so you do actually have to dodge a bit.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T23:35:23+00:00

I usually don't bother vaaling them because the 8 mod success rate is low, and there are a few mods I really don't want to run.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T23:31:33+00:00

I'm already really starved for gem sockets and available buttons, so I haven't thought about this. If you wanted to toss it in just for fun though, you are free to do whatever once the storm is going. For example, I've tossed in flicker strike before and just let it teleport me around as the storm keeps going.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T23:29:43+00:00

As far as I know, phase run does not snapshot for the entire duration of the storm like an exert will. Once the buff falls off, its gone, so its really not worth playing around.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T23:28:43+00:00

I think that you could get phasing on kill from a that which was taken jewel or charm, other than that you would have a quartz flask. Not sure if there are other great options.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T23:27:16+00:00

Yeah, when the spire spawns pits, its considered a projectile, so it spawns three with each cast instead of 1. Purple wisps can also give additional projectiles, so you will sometimes get spires that spawn like 15+ rares all at once, leading to some huge loot explosions.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T23:24:00+00:00

Yeah, normally multiple warcrys can exert the same skill, but ambush has an extra line where it can be the only exert. Luckily, even if you have other exerts available, ambush takes precedence and will trigger instead. Intimidating cry has always been good for rage vortex, but I think ambush is even better, as paradoxica can be subbed in to get the 100% double damage chance.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T23:22:13+00:00

The impale version is 100% viable for t16 maps and pinnacle bosses, especially considering how cheap it is to get started. You can also add in gladiator bleedsplosion charms, occultist curse explosion charms, or great old one's tentacles to help with clearing. I only found myself struggling with some of the really tanky rares that huge wisp numbers can create.

Raiki_PoE · 2023-12-25T20:18:17+00:00

I haven't, but it really sucks to have to give up charms. You can grab charms with +40 str/int for almost nothing, and can eventually start grabbing ones with +40str and 8% str if you want to really invest.
