Is Silvertongue viable with this build until I get a good Harbinger?

Hi Guys,

Raider here

i am running Lioneye Glare, alpha's howl, queen of the forest, maligaro's, atziri, drillneck. resist belt, amulet and rings.

Skill gems.
5L:Tornado shot-PPAD-PTL-Pierce-GMP / Blink arrow
4L(helm):Vaal grace-Grace-Hatred-Enlighten
4L: CWDT-Immortal Call-Increased Duration-Frost Wall
4L: Frenzy-COH-Assassin's Mark-GMP
5L: ??-??-??-??-?? / Ice Golem

I have capped Pierce and resist. Using frenzy as charges generator works well for me also. No problem with using tornado shot as single/multi targets killer.

That said, i have a spare 5L that i have no idea what to do with. Setting up another single target killer like blastrain seems like abit of a waste. I'm thinking of setting up a strong golem but pretty sure that's quite dumb as well.

Help.

Either siege ballista or barrage. Both are useful in certain situations.

Hello.

First of all thanks a lot for this guide, helped a lot, and made me stumble upon a build that is fun and effective !

I managed to get to T14+ maps without too much trouble (some one shots, some boss are annoying, and I CAN'T deal with reflect in any way).

I dropped a pit of the chimera map, so I alc'd it, vaal'd it, managed to go through the map easily, but then the boss...

He litteraly crushed me. Used all my ports and couldn't get him below 75% (the only mod effective in this fight was the crit chance/crit multiplier one).

One shots all over the place, and far from having enough damage to burst him (couldn't even burst the adds).

So I think I hit wall there, and I need advice to optimize my passives/stuff.

Passive tree :

Items :

Few stats :
- Tornado shot 55k dps unbuff
- 4225 hp
- 9k eva
- 90% chance to hit

I feel like I can't get any upgrade unless I spend many exalts (which I don't have), and it will be only minor upgrades, but I might be wrong.

Thanks a lot !

Found my first PoC map today too and alc'd and vaal'd. I got completely owned as well. The ads he summons were the biggest problem for me, I had the faster monster, incresed moster life mod, which was the big issue for me. the ads were moving as fast as me and hitting like a truck.

The boss himself wasn't too much of an issue after the first two rips to him, kinda worked him out and decoy totem and ice golem helped quite a bit...distracting him sometimes. The decoy no help at all with the ads though, destroyed virtually as soon as I cast it.

If I ever happen to get another one to drop, I'll be more careful with the mods...and hope the vaaling doesnt completely screw it up. I might also equip TC curse as well to use on the Ads to hopefully slow them down.

If that doesn't work, it might be time to retire my TS character to MF only duties and build a better toon.

Your gear is pretty awful. First things first, head over to poe.trade and upgrade for as little as possible. Gain your extra few levels (68 i think should be good) and then spend on the best harbinger and a 6link chest you can afford.

Thx for your answer. Can you be more precise on what is so terribly wrong with my gear?

See, I know my resis dropped since I changed Boots/Belt/Gloves/Chest/Helmet recently and level appropriate. ATM I have Cold/Lightning/Fire/Chaos-Resi on 42/31/21/0 from these slots. On Merciless this means -18/-29/-39/-60. Which sucks, but at least life and Evasionrating are good for my level I guess, as every slot is wihtin 1-3 level range an is mostly of higher quality.

My plan is to go for a set of Ruby-/Topaz-Rings to boost Lightning/Fire resi and enchant them with some essences, hoping for further resis. Same with a Lapis-Amu I guess, as I have enough STR from gear. This should help to get the resis at least into the positive range.

See, I don't have lots of currency, and when I look for a 5-Link chestpiece with +life and 2 +30% resi I can't afford it (~30 Chaos), or it's cheap but for lvl 40 and therefore Evasion is horribly outdated I get hit by literally everything.

As I was boosted by friends to Act II merciless, I went back to Cruel and get the missing skillpoints from sidequests. I just dropped them to level faster.

So I guess I know what to reach out for, but not exactly how to. Is it worth to invest in level 54-58 gear now anyway? What about defensive skill gems? What about passives? What pieces of my gear are a "must-upgrade-now"?

Greetz,

Aspect of the Lynx should be a dead end and don't take 2 nodes after it. Instead go down from finesse and link it up to the herbalism. Why would you do that. Since your variant requires wasting even more nodes to reach duelist nodes.
I wouldn't recommend going to Revenge of the hunted.From dexterity node just above the acrobatics go up instead of left. This will allow you to take nullification and go further.

Don't change gear if you feel yourself comfortable, just level up to 66 where you can afford buying Lionseye's glare-it's cheap
Look for quiver with double critical strike chance, critical strike multiplier, elemental damage and life or resistance
On 64 purchase Alpha's Howl and gem it with used auras or little bit more expensive but BiS Rat's Nest
Chest- Queen of the Forest.
Look for amulet that gives Int and Str since gems will demand a little bit of both. Good amulet should have resistances,life, critical strike.
Rings: Prefer two stone rings since them alone can provide with a lot of res.Same stats as amulets.
Belt: rare with life and resistances, physical damage, elemental damage
Gloves: rare with attack speed, resistances, life
Boots: rare with movement speed, 2-3 res,life

Don't overestimate uniques and make sure you have you res capped

I've hit a wall and need some help.
I started out as a Deadeye but made the switch to pathfinder a while ago, which allowed me to porgress beyond T11 maps thanks to permanent flask uptime. I've now made it up to several T13-14 maps, but I don't see myself progressing beyond that without something major to push up my character. Yesterday I used up all my portals and still died to a rippy Volcano map boss with additional projectiles and -max resist, which cost me basically all my progress to lv90. It was disheartening to say the least.
The thing is, I have no idea what to upgrade; from what I can tell from poe.trade, extremely minor upgrades would cost me several exalt in every slot. Th big upgarde I can think fo is Atziri's Acuity but they're crazy expensive.
My resists are overcapped for Elemental weakness thanks to the flasks and I have 6.3k HP.
My gear:




I assume I can optimize my skilltree a bit. I was planning to grab the jewel node under the scion health cluster at lv90 and put in a jewel I bought already (8%AS with bows, 6%HP, 12%Crit multiplier).
My skilltree:

Can anyone help me out? I want to make it to 36 challenges this league to get the portal MTX, I don't need to be able to beat the Shaper.

2 Inkaflare
Node just above the acrobatics: go up instead of left to save a point
Refund 2 nodes after Aspect of Lynx and apply them to connect Finesse With herbalism
Refund Quickstep and 2 nodes next to it
Dex node under Coordination is a waste too.

As the result 5 points freed. Take a jewel socket in duelist section and Will of blades in Shadow section and physcal damage nodes nearby.

Actually thinking of switching from deadeye to pathfinder, after getting a few nice flasks (Taste of hate, Vinktar, Dying sun...) and a good quiver (no crit chance from pierce, might as well refund pierce nodes, and try to get more life) since the glass cannon deadeye is fun, and clears maps quickly, but t14+ map bosses are raping me (see my previous post).



Any thoughts/advice on this switch ?

i am always wondering how ppl cant find upgrades :) your quiver is an easy upgrade in 5-10 chaos range (like very easy) your coral ring and amu are also very bad I think you get decent ring and amu for around 30 chaos each should be easily alot better. You can also try the full ele conversion with signal fire quiver i switched and like it alot
