Hey guys, so I could use some help here, I am pretty sure I know the problem, I have low life and dont feel my DPS is there, downing bosses can be really difficult.

My guess is that I have too many uniques. I did just upgrade my bow to Reach, but I couldnt afford a 6l version. If I was to replace some of the uniques which would you recommend?

Not sure how to link my characters gear.

This is my first try of PoE and first character that I created. I try to stick to NeverSink's build by with some deviations as it is the first try and my financial opportunities are pretty low. Now I'm using this gear:
Bow →

I guess that Reach of Concuil and perfect Harbinger is better choice but only for this one I have enough money.
Lioneye's is pretty neat, plus realy cheap. Issues with crit will piss u off eventually but, it's solid option anyway


Chest →

Pretty good I think. But as I don't use armour could be Kintsugi Exquisite Leather better choice?
Belly is considered endgame choice for life builds, so it's ok here I guess.
Head →

Nothing special.
Gloves →

I'm not a fan of them, but with Lioneye's(and Reach) you will probably need them to keep crit chance in good shape.

Boots →

Good option if you have resistances capped elsewhere, life, mov speed, spell dodge, lot of eva, don't worry about them

Maybe I'm using too much uniques?
Quiver →

Another option

Or it's better to use something from these?

Rune Shot is better then rest, you wanna "some" damage on quiver at first place.

Jewelries →

No drama, but it's good to have both some damage and life (50+, better more) and resistances on every piece of jewelry. It doesnt have to be even that good:

Particulary amulet is very potent piece of gear.

Belt →

Not bad actually

Flasks →

3 life flasks are too much, you should check some of these:

and others

Life - around 4k.
Resistances are all abow 75% but chaos is -60%.
that's true for 95% player base %), dont worry about chaos res yet

So my DPS with auras of Hatred and herald of ash is about 25K{put some random meaningless number here)* and I think it's pretty low.

Toolpits vary from skill to skill, I'd rather check if playing/killing is hard (too hard). Areas and bosses like these on t5 Pit map or t8 Shore map can give good answer about your damage and if it's ok for given moment or not.


With full stack of frenzy charges and rallying cry DPS is about 35k. I'm using lighting arrow to curse and then attack with TS. Also for increasing single target DPS is start to use ballista.
If someone can check my build and give some usefull tips how to increase damage and survival I will be very greatful.
Thank you in advance!

Sadly I cannot afford a Harbinger Bow 6L with a good DPS, is there another bow option that I could buy to enhance my DPS? I know some gems are wrong but... This is the better setup I got in many tries. I was using Atziri's Step but I had low low defenses, that's why I'm using those boots.

Lionseye's Glare or Reach of the council. Put aside essence worm ring and put on another Two stone to cap your resistances.Switch to atziri step when you can afford it without losing any resistance.
Get rid of enduring cry since CoDT can only trigger spells, not warcry- instead put vortex or any curse that can impact monsters aboility to kill you-enfeeble for example.
Instead of enfeeble in helmet use assassin mark. Put frenzy instead of puncture. I do offer to get rid of single target spell since TS is good for both single and aoe. Consider using vaal skills here.
Here is my sequence of what i o on bosses:
0 Hatred-Herald of ash
1. Blood rage
2. Frenzy-Coh-elemental weaknesss(since i play elem build)-get maximum Frenzy charges
3. Vaal skeletons- Vaal grace- Vaal haste- Atziri promise-Taste of hate
4. AWESOME DAMAGE DEALT HERE-boss dead, almost dead, half dead depending on boss.

Thanks ZerotuL, I'll check these out.

I wasn't aware I can switch to Raider. Do I have to wait for skills to be reset to do this?

A better bow? - the harbinger I have is pretty good stats and it is very hard to find one with better DPS. I have 3 Exe at the moment which won't buy much. Many bows at quite high prices (15 Exe) have less DPS than current bow so I am not sure I am understanding how to find a better stats bow. Can you advise on what I am looking for?

My bows are

Your bow is fine. Actual has good base Crit which no one seems to care about in this thread anymore (LOL). Is this how this thread is being run these days?

300+ pDPS bow as well. I see nothing wrong with it. Reach would be an upgrade but an expensive one, and is not needed at the moment. Lmk what map tiers you are running so I can get a better understanding of expectation.

You can change your Ascendancy whenever, if you Regret away all your current points (40 Regret Cost) when you touch the altar. I generally wait for the free respec at the beginning of every temp league, easy to do. PM me if you got questions, posting here gives me a headache but I will call bullshit when I see it.
