Hey,

I was just wondering whether I was mistaken, or does Hydrosphere effectively double our damage on pure single target (generally our biggest weakness) presuming you have either ancestral call or tribal fury?

Since we can hit it and it counts as a second target, it would allow another set of projectiles to split off of it and hit our primary target

Hmm,

It is a little difficult for me to test for sure, I play on console and there is a certain degree of auto aiming for the console. As such it places the hydro sphere on top of the enemy always, so it is very difficult to ascertain for sure whether it is properly triggering the extra attacks.

I can absolutely confirm that you can hit the hydro sphere alone and trigger the projectiles. I would suspect since that is the case that it is one of two situations - either it is completely working. Or the ancestral call hit does not target the sphere. In which case, you need to have the primary attack hit the sphere and the secondary attack hit the boss.

It does however look like you are right that it would not be a huge increase however, I am surprised since I was under the impression that other than specifically melee hit scalers, the projectile is otherwise the same as the melee hit. And we do not even use melee damage support. But despite that, at least looking at PoB, the DPS of the frost shard, which is what we would presumably be adding, is only about 20 percent of that of the melee hit.

Still, its a pretty easy damage boost if you are already using ancestral call or anointing Tribal Fury. Is there any reason not to replace Frost bomb with it? Since we permanently apply exposure to all enemies near us now we dont seem to still need frost bomb.

What path is being used for ascendency? I went Rapid Assault then into Avatar of the Slaughter.

Also I missed out on Harvest league so any tips on crafting for this build? What should I look out for drop wise to allow for good crafts?

There are a few exposure types. Hydrosphere apply 10% debuff when Frost bomb can do 25%.

@OP It's fine to use Ice bite instead ruthless when I will have 9+ Frenzy charges?
Does circle od gear with Frenzy charge good with this build?

I went Rapid Assault > Way of the Poacher > Avatar of Slaughter > Avatar of the Chase

Getting the onslaught while leveling was pretty neat, so it felt good to start with that.

As for crafting, I recommend using an ilvl 78 claw. There are multiple options with the itemlevel but generally I think 78 is the current sweet spot.
Either you use Jagged Fossils, or you spam Alterations to get a base. When you have a decent claw you can play around with Harvest crafting to finish it up.
You should also use the phys harvest recipe if you have a claw to toss it on, ofc.

There's a lot to say about crafting, more than I can take here right now. :p
