The Most Well-Rounded Starter Build In PoE - Detailed Leveling Guide for CA/TR Starter by Asmodeus
" I've decided to try copying your character since no other build really caught my eye. I'm a simply man, mention Mirage Archer and Quill Rain and I'm in :) Didn't Avatar of the Hunt interest you? I noticed it wasn't picked and seemed to fit the build. Editado por útlima vez por CedricDur en 29 ene. 2021 20:16:59

" avatar of the hunt is good but pretty meh for the power per passive ratio. i definitely prioritize other things dunno if copying my character is a good idea but you're free to try. i do things my own particular way because i have very good knowledge of these types of characters and the game, so some things i do, some gear mods etc may not pop out as important at first glance and whatnot. in any case i don't really recommend getting any cluster jewels, at least not for a while. instead of clusters i'd path down to golems blood, picking up heavy draw and deadly draw manually (instead of anointing heavy draw) and stuff. maybe then with the saved points you can pick up avatar of the hunt if it suites your fancy im going to keep trying to optimize this character fully, i think. definitely going quill rain all the way. but ya, bossing still does not feel good. regular map bosses are a breeze but maven invitations, conqueror guardians and sirus are basically a no shot. tried a few times if you have any questions for me personally feel free to pm me or whisper in game or somethin |

" You decided to self-cast TR instead of go with the build setup? If so, do you think doing with the builds setup of TR ballista w/ CA would be better for bossing? |

" i just went my build. is this even a build guide? its more a leveling guide, you can make whatever build you want from it. different main skill, ascendancy, gear, etc. for sure TR/CA is so strong for leveling up especially as league starter and theres just so much freedom once you hit maps. my specific setup is probably different from most - you can check my characters to see it. to do TR totems with CA, which i've done before, is great and works very well for bossing. i would definitely do that as a RAIDER of choice, specifically the phasing+onslaught route in order to get max evade+tons of dodge and ailment immunity. essentially raider for her defenses. you'll have a lack of damage compared to most, maybe 1 million sirus dps (which is still plenty to clear the game) unless you put in some crazy investment. but you prioritize defenses in this case and it will absolutely roll content. TR totems for the withered touch and slow effect |

I do visual dps as 420k i imagine with my despair gem in +3 ring and other boosts make it over 1m ... but im not sure. I'm also tuning to finally get to end game.
I have one question: If a Cluster jewel gives X skill and I already put a point in it on my tree, then does it double dip? or that cluster skill/point skill is wasted. I imagine it didn't double up, otherwise I can be SO strong lol Editado por útlima vez por RGreen en 30 ene. 2021 1:12:21

"Yes, of course. We lost some aoe but we no longer need to spec Toxicist branch for anything, so we can pick other stuff for free (ailment immunity / movement speed branch). "I see sporeguard still good? I played with it once in delirium and wondering what chest to go for this season especially since GGG nuked Kintsugi spawn rate. Only thing that worries me is my lousy luck in manual 6-linking items. Unless I go back from TR totems to wither totems and not using double 6-link. |
