I'm following the guide but I'm having a hard time with Elders / any big bosses. Both that my damage is very small on them but also that I feel so squishy! Am I doing something wrong?
Newbie who just started the game here so apologies for the question.
I have the Cane of Unraveling with 55% Chaos DOT and 25% increased chaos damage.
I'm trying to understand why the midrange bow is better? I picked one up and even with the quiver, the Chaos DOT comes out to just about the same vs the Cane of Unraveling but seems to be weaker (I think because the cane's increased chaos damage).
Can you explain why I would want to use the midrange bow if it does less damage?
With the midrange you get +2 to support and + 1 to all gems. meaning that with empower level 4. that will actually become a level 7. meaning! that your lvl 21 essence drain, will become level 28. meaning a freaking fck ton of damage compared to the cane :) hope that helps. i know... a lot of numbers, but it adds up

Ahhh okay got it. That makes a lot of sense. My gems aren't level 20 yet which is why I don't see the difference yet. Thanks for the reply!!
Lol... divergent berserk is currently 100ex in standard.
The supply of items exclusive to current league during that league in standard is always limited to the people who want to go through the fuss of grinding for these items in hardcore league then murder their mule to smuggle it to standard.
but it doesn't have an open suffix for the Endurance Charge and I am too scared to anul it as it is worth quite some money like this.
Can I just wear it without getting stomped in high tier maps or should I sell it for a good price and reroll another amulet?
What do you guys think?
Not bad of a craft there! I'm actually just using 2 endurance charges (rings) and currently level 97 in softcore heist. We're definitely tanky enough for all content and easily clear end game if you know the mechanics. Another endurance charge is a quality of life upgrade for you if you'd like. But I don't seem it totally necessary for t16 maps.
So did I completely just screw myself when I scoured an elder influenced bow for the 10ex craft?
I bought a redeemer's exalted orb to add a final mod to it but it said it was already influenced, but since I scoured it down to bare bones in the beginning of the craft, it has no influenced mod.
Is there an orb I can hit it with to add the last mod?

Just have faith in the guide, it's really good. Don't give up! :)
One thing I noticed is that virtually none of your gems is L20. A L21/0 ED is only 8c and will boost your damage: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/mDjXYLS6
As for defense, just get a 5L Kintsugi or Hyrri. There's a 5L Hyrri's for 30c available right now: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/5p8YPKTa

You have lvl2 empower(seriously, just grab corrupted lvl3 and slot it to ED, it's cheap, and level your own in reserve weapon. Damage boost is damage boost); your ED is only lvl19; you passed over nodes to max life and ES in favor of damage nodes; you don't use Hyrri's and Green nightmare(and that's a lot of dodge right there and dodge scales better with each % in it. Green Nightmare if you buy it as components is, like, 18c at most on Heist? And Hyrri's gives a lot of evasion and ES besides dodge); your amulet isn't anointed and your flasks are subpar(don't use charge gain - reduced charges used is much better for this build) and you don't use transcendent mind.
But really, the flowchart in the second post of the thread is a good reference on what you might need, in my opinion.

You can throw an exalt at it, who knows, maybe it will get culling strike on it. Or maybe it will get +8 to Dex. But outside of using an awakener's orb on a redeemer item and transferring it here(which reforges the item with new mods outside of influenced ones, as far as I know, which will make your craft useless), there isn't much you can do. Still, such bow works perfectly well even without the final suffix, in my opinion

Do you think now that I got some better gems for damage I should de-level from Atrophy (I went there because my damage was lacking) to put more on survivability skills? I can't afford Transcendent mind and some other gems, but I'm working on it :)
