How do you get so many projectiles? That's the only thing I don't understand.

Heya! In the end-game you have 4 base projectiles from Lancing Steel +1 from the helmet enchantment +2 from Dying Sun meaning 7 projectiles while not sacrificing steel shards. If you have steel shards, the Lancing Steel sacrifices up to 4 shards per attack and when you sacrifice 4 shards the amount of projectiles fire is multiplied by 3, so 21 projectiles in total. If you are a Deadeye with endless mutitions(+2 projectiles) you'll fire 27 projectiles. Also, for each beltimber you have, if you use a movement skill recently(in the past 4 seconds) you'll have +2 projectiles before multiplication, so with all mentioned above and 2 beltimbers you'll fire 39 projectiles total(6 per beltimber, so 12 for 2 beltimbers plus 27 from all other bonuses). It's actually not recommended to use beltimbers in the final setup because other options give you a way higer dps. But thats it.

Hope that answers your question!

It answers it perfectly! Thanks so much!

In another build that I can't seem to find now, someone said something about doing *something* that didn't require you to use "call of steel" to get back your shards.

Is there a good way to use lancing steel without having to use call of steel regularly to keep your shard count up?

Heya! The only way to get steel shards is by using call of steel. There's a glitched interaction with the skill that if you cast CoS and attack at the same taime as the first 4 shards are regained, if you do not stop attacking CoS will keep regaining shards for a while trying to reach 12 shards. But it only works if you didn't impale enemies nearby recently AND if you don't stop attackin, because as soon as the skill regain shards while you already have shards, it will stop that interaction. And it only works afaik if you get 4shards with the first pull that CoS does. If you're clearing maps, depending on your dps you may just not use CoS whiel there are not rare enemies nearby, since you'll kill regular and magic enemies with the short burst.

Hope that helps.

Heya!

I just wanted to say that I really love the build!
Was lucky enough to drop Paradoxica, unfortunately 2nd unveil wasn't too good (minion, dmg per endurance charge, something else), but I think it's still decent.
I am trying to go hybrid - 1 ring with LGOH and 1 with Vulnerability.

For people on low budget and mana problems - I got OTTS with +4 mana gained for each hit implicit. These were dirt cheap and help A LOT.

OP - any tips what I could do now to improve my DPS? Not sure what would be easiest to upgrade now - cluster jewels maybe?
_to_me_exalt_quickly_ is my char, profile should be public.

Once again, thanks for great build!

Heya! Thanks for replying! Glad you liked the build!
The best upgrades you can get atm are a Large cluster with Feed the Fury, Fuel the Fight and Smite the Weak or one with Run through instead of Fuel the Fight abd a Diamond Flask of the Order(with at least 76% crit strike chance during flask effect).

Getting a lvl 21/23 Lancing Steel and all support gems with 20% quality will also improve your damage.

Hope that helps! Have a great one and take it easy!

Leckarion !

First of all thank you for all of the tips.

I made the build working on XBOX.

The guide is pretty well explained, however still i had some break and i'm kinda confused what should i upgrade next right now?

I'm handling red maps easily, however missing dps at rituals ( and survival - getting randomly stuck and 1 shotted and whirlwind not working - i guess lags )

Just to show all others - even on XBOX where market is dead i managed to kill elder at lvl 89 with full crap gear :)

What are the issues on Xbox? Generally i saved like 6 ex, but there are no items, it's like SSF. No saviour or Paradoxica - im checking trade everyday.


My profile is public, feel free to check it out and import to pob. Thank you




Btw my all resistance issues are gone with this ground drop :D

It does. Thanks so much! I'm definitely enjoying the build and I appreciate you answering my questions so quickly!

Heya! Glad I was able to help ya and you managed to find turnarounds for the issues with Xbox PoE's trade market.
Regarding the clear and survivability issues, try either allocating Piercing Shots(Black, Opalescent and Silver oils) in your amulet or allocate the all the passive points up to Piercing shots in the passive tree.

Try swapping your whirlwind blades setup for Leap Slam + Faster Attacks + Fortify and slot your enduring cry elsewhere.

Regarding the issue with finding The Savu=iours and Paradoxicas, try doing it the old SSF way :/ farming the bosses yourself and hoping that they drop it. You'll need to farm The Mastermind Catarina for the Paradoxica and Sirus, The Awakener for The Saviour. It will be a pain, but is doable, I think.

Hope that helps and you're able to go forwards headstrong. While, of course, having fun. Have a great one, buddy!

Edit: Forgot about the upgrades! Try getting an Eternal Life Flask of Stauching for bleed immunity and a Diamond Flask of the Order(with at least 76% increased crit chance during flask effect). That might help you a bit.

Any Recommendations? i cant survive T14 and up, and when i was in t16, and died a lot running back to boss, but not including the running back to boss time, took 5 mins to kill

Hydra Guard or whatever it is called the t16 Map
