ELEMENTAL HIT DEADEYE - WHAT AM I MISSING?
This is my first time in this game.
I've been reading guides to try and understand how to hit max DPS with this character/build, but I just don't seem to know what else I'm missing. I'm getting into the 3rd watchstone in each area of the atlas and conquerors hardly lose health when fighting them. I think my dps is maybe topping out at 900k or so with ideal conditions - which seems to be about 10-20% of what it should be at max. Just looking for advice on what I can change for this to work. I think the boots, gloves, and belt can change but I don't know. I don't know if this is an item issue with wrong modifiers or a skill issue or a gem-link issue. Here are my items. Bow Helm Body Quiver Amulet LRing RRing Gloves Belt Boots Flasks Here is my skill tree https://www.pathofexile.com/fullscreen-passive-skill-tree/AAAABAICAABeBS0FtQceCC4OSA_EEYERlhPaFHUZjhqBGo0byCP2JJ0k_So4LlMwcTB8MfoylDY9N9Q51DpCO3xDMUlRSn1LeEz_TZJOKlFHUXRTz1b6WyZbr2EQYetiWmKsY6dlTWegaU5sjHTtdct293fXePl6U311ft1_An8rf8Z_-4d2jX2Nfo25jb-VBZUumyabjZzEnaqgn6KjpMKmmafUsQG0xbcit7a4yrvjvqfBM8LsxKLI3M96z93Tb9N-1CPZxtrB3UbdqOOE45_l5udU6Nbpvepi7T_tg-4O73rwu_DV8YryuP1u_rr-yP_e?accountName=Ecksodia&characterName=Scirilian Thanks everyone!

Your setup looks perfectly fine, don't worry.
In PoE, most build guides don't focus on the progression, but on the finished state of a character. This can be missleading, as most of the time where you'll play a character, you won't have the endgame upgrades that make it as advertised. If you are clearing high yellow-low red maps, it's perfecty normal not not have a minmaxed character. You will hit damage spikes later, no worries. 1 million buffed dps is average-high for the content you're clearing. First, your tree's decent. Not sure if you followed a guide for that or if you figured it out, but it's good. I would have definitely taken wind dancer for 2 points, but you do you. Gear wise, you do have a few things to work on. Most of your item choices are budget and don't really offer much. Note that I will only be referring to your singletarget weaponswap there. ■ The elephent in the room: gem levels. Your EH gem is level 20 and empower level 2. If you get a level 21 EH and a level 4 empower, you'll deal 32% more damage. This is because almost all your flat damage comes from gem levels, so they scale really well. ■ Flasks are meh. First, I'd STRONGLY suggest you get an instant life flask. Bubbling or seething. I like to get bleed imunity on there. Second, upgrade your diamond flask with a crafted crit suffix (and probably chemist prefix, why not). Not sure where you're getting freeze removal tho. Do you die if you get frozen? If yes, get a diamond flask of heat, it'll change your life. Chalice and doedre's elexir are kinda shit. If you need mana, get an enduring mana flask. Chalice could be replaced by bottled faith. Bottled faith gives 2% base crit chance. This translates to 40% more crit chance for you, as you only have 5% base. Also, consecrated ground grants 100% increased crit chance against enemies on it, which is 7% total. On top of the 40% sulfur damage and enemies taking increased damage on conc ground, this flask alone would be pretty big. There's a reason it's expensive. ■ Quality your gems up. You can sell a lvl20 gem with a GCP to a vendor, and it'll give you a 20% quaklity gem. Do this on almost everything. ■ What's your crit chance? I don't see you having high crit chance at all. You have no local crit on your bow, almost none on your gear, and your tree doesn't have much either. TO be fair, I don't ee many EH builds go crit, so I can't help you getting much more. Bottled faith + order flask would probably be really big. ■ Your gloves and quiver are kinda trash. Signal fire has no purpose as you don't have phys to convert into fire in the first place. Get a rare with attackspeed, life, accuracy, crit and/or crit multi. Get a pair of gloves with atackspeed, life, more resistances, any %increased damage that can apply and/or culling strike. https://poedb.tw/us/mod.php?cn=Gloves&tags=dex_armour Your belt (nomad) is mediocre, as you don't deal physical damage. But it's "decent". ■ Don't put combustion in your main links. You probably want elemental focus there. I'd recommend replacing your CWDT setup with: arcanist brand - Wave of conviction - combustion - elementalweakness Not sure how you're actually generating power charges. Maybe try to get glove corruptions for ele weaknes and put pcoc in there...? ■ Use catalysts on your gear, bro. ■ Once you get more currency, upgrade your bow. With harvest, you can craft ridiculous stuff! You could get: - Quality increases elemental damage instead - [implicit] 25% increased ele attack damage [prefix] +1 level of socketed gems [prefix] +2 level of socketed projectile gems [prefix - shaper] Socketed Skills deal 20% more Attack Damage [suffix] (17–19)% increased Attack Speed [suffix] (35–38)% increased Critical Strike Chance [suffix - shaper] +(26–29)% to Global Critical Strike Multiplier (9–10)% chance to gain a Power Charge on Critical Strike Of course, this is a very endgame upgrade. But it exists, and is craftable using harvest. Research on how to do it with the different benches, and work slowly towards it. Do NOT buy this, you'll pay a massive premium, craft it yourself. ■ Your auras are kinda trash. Anger sucks ass, especially on EH that has a ton of flat damage already. It's decent with a watcher's eye that buffs the shit out of it tho, but where's your watcher' eye? Herald of ash is also very mediocre, but I could understand you needing it for clearspeed reasons.

This is extreeeeeeeemely helpful.
Without a ton of understanding of everything that goes into the game, you're explanations do help a lot. Thanks! |

Get x1 Combat Focus (Viridian Jewel) and x1 Combat Focus (Crimson Jewel) and put them in a jewel slot each somewhere on your skill tree.
Replace your Call of the Brotherhood with a rare ring with better resistances, life and if possible with increased elemental damage with attack skills. You need more crit. Drop that nasty belt and get one with life and resists and increased elemental damage with attack skills too. Replace Overflowing Chalice with Cinderswallow Urn, it'll boost your survivability. Best thing you could do is checkout Poe.Ninja/Builds and look up Elemental Hit builds and pinch ideas from them. Editado por útlima vez por AbilityPoints#9049 en 12 sept. 2020 6:50:00
