Helmet - Wilma's provides Ancestral Bond which is a massive bonus. Nothing going to compete for DPS here. Good enchants would be anything with reservation or anything with damage i.e. siege ballista, curses etc..Dont need enchanted to start. 100c with enchant, 10c without. Weapon - Darkscorn is a part of the build. In future leagues you won't have to worry about a crucible tree, but generally attack speed and chaos/phys damage are good. 30c Quiver - quiver slot is a huge DPS boost. I paid 1 div for the listed one, but that was probably a goodbuy. I would budget 2-3 div. you want dot multi a

If EC was a well designed skill then the interesting aspect (flask usage) would be extremely beneficial to the skill. As it is, this is not the case. &x200B; This isn't going to be a math heavy post, but long story short, you can only regenerate so many flask charges, and that number is way lower than what you need to constantly use sapphire/topaz flasks outside pure mapping. The new sapphire/topaz flasks are quite good, but really only modestly better than just slapping on a diamond flask and require massive investment to sustain. The recent 3.21 change to EC which makes you use massive am

Helmet - Wilma's provides Ancestral Bond which is a massive bonus. Nothing going to compete for DPS here. Good enchants would be anything with reservation or AP gives more attack speed (expensive). Cost is around 1-5 chaos currently without enchants. Weapon - I bought this, but getting a fractured hybrid phys, using physical damage essence (contempt) and shooting for T1 attack speed and an open prefix for the phys/poison craft would get you this weapon. I am not sure on craft cost but I paid 3D for this sword. Seems reasonable. Shield - Ideally you want +1 max totems, suppress, life, and a

Good nebulis is around 1ex Shield is around 1-2ex. These aren't too common on market. Focus on Spell suppression and +1 totems. CAn use harvest to change max res!! get Galesight with corruption - 80C-1ex Amulet was 2ex. I hit with redeemer orb which got me almost nothing. Enchant is another 0.5ex or so. You can probbaly get something close for cheaper. Skin of the Lords with: Lethe Shade, Iron Will, Iron Reflexes, Ancestral Bond, Divine Shield - all of those are good. I like Lethe Shade the best. 80C Gloves - make sure you have open prefix. should be ~1ex Belt - should be around 100c or less.

When Frostferno was in the game, EC had a 5.5 link with +8 gems that was highly possible to use. You would take Avatar of Fire, get a double corrupted Frostferno and now you had a cool non traditional setup. It was reasonable to use sapphire at least due to cold to fire on Frostferno. Frostferno is gone now though. After a lot of PoB work, I am of the strong opinion that EC is better off without Sapphire/Topaz flasks. This, imho, basically makes it a broken gem. 1) It takes solid investment to get the flasks to be useable over a longer period. If you go pathfinder, you have very little sy

This is my, as titled, ridiculous self-cast Unearth meme build. It uses Unearth, which people underappreciate because it looks shitty until you see the cast time is extremely low. From a pure single target perspective, after 3.17, Unearth is actually not all that bad. Its mana cost is extremely low, which also makes it very spammable as you can use flat mana cost reductions very effectively. A couple of notes - 1. it actually only requires level 94 and the extra timeless jewel is because Voll's Protector Inner Conviction isn't in PoB. You want to use glorious vanity. You could also go Incand
