Ryslatha's coil is 6 ex damn :(

Heya! Thanks for replying! I'm crying inside as well :( but it's probably because of the amount of ppl running phys builds this season. Eventually it will drop in price and you can upgrade other things in the meanwhile. A Darkness Enthroned with 2 murderous eye jewels with maximum life, phys damage to attack, phys damage to atacks with swords and crit multi would make for a placeholder. I'm currently using the nomad, but I'm already starting to miss that health Ryslatha gives, so after getting my clusters I'll rush a Ryslatha.

Have a great one and may the fallen goods forgive we and give us good drops!

good job on the build, testing it atm. but 1 question which annoint for amulett ?

Heya! Thanks for the reply! If you're using Sniper's mark go for Marked for Death. If you're using Poacher's Mark or Vulnerability, get Blade Master instead.

Edit: Marked for death is also better if using poacher's mark since it will increase single target dps, if you are struggling with clkearing, get Blade master. Added a Annointment section o the guide with the oil colours needed for the anoints.

what do you think about "Hematophagy" or "Blade Master"

looks both pretty good

Blade master I mentioned in the reply to you, Hematophagy is real good to increase survivability. Between both I'd rather have Hematophagy because of the Offering to the Serpent gloves. I think I'll get Hematophagy with passive points with my current character while I'm testing Petrified Blood. Later I'll update the Annoint Section on the guide with this annoint if it proves worth the investment.

Hey man loving this build so far. I was wondering if you could help me out with what im doing wrong. My damage is pretty nasty but i feel like I hit a wall at T14+ maps. Everything is really starting to one tap me and its breaking my heart since i don't see any other defensive mods/gear I can go for.

Hey, saw your build and was interested in giving it a try, especially after reading all the people saying how easy and good it is. I, however, am running into some issues.

Of course the league has just started. Because of this some items are more expensive/rare than I had expected. For example, Offering to the Serpent with +1 frenzy charge is hard to find (left a live search going for a full day, got 1 result but I was afk eating dinner (yikes)).

This is the PoB (community fork) of my current build: https://pastebin.com/tw35mhiv

I know it is below average, but I sadly do not have all that much time to play (which is why I picked a stronger build). Currently sitting on 1.2ex in my stash to upgrade.

What can you recommend? Also; fairly new to PoE (3rd or 4th league, 2nd league playing somewhat serious), so if you could explain any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it! :)

Heya! Took the time to see your PoB and figure out what's happening.
The first thing I need to point out is that you're using 2 guard skills setups with CWDT, guard skills share their coooldown, meaning CDWT wont cast both at the same time, even if the are on separate setups, it will cast one and after the cooldown is over it will cast the another one. Having that in mind you should actually choose one guard skill and stick to it, I'd personally like steel skin, so I would try getting CDWT to a level it needs around half your life to trigger and level the guad skill accordingly. At the moment you seen to have too little Life gain on hit effects and life leech rate, that might be affecting your survivability. Try getting rings with phys dmg to attacks and higher life, also you could try getting jewels with life gain on hit that are a dps tie or upgrade to your current jewels(this is the search I use https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/RW54reWT7).
You could also annoint Hematophagy(Violet, Black, Silver) to get a boost to life leech rate. Swapping Sniper's Mark for Poacher's maark and casting that on the tankiest enemies on packs might also help, but will greatly reduce your single target dps.

If you want to spend a little to have a placeholder armour that will improve your situation, you can get a 6-link Lioney's Vision and put either a lvl 20 life gain on hit Support or another damage support such as slower projectiles sicne the armour gives you pierce.

You're doing good with your setup, you just need to adjust your gear and get more life nodes on the passive tree. Speaking of the passive tree, if you wish, you can allocate Iron Reflexes to try to reduce the damage you take from hits while you still don't have enough life to not get oneshot, it might work.
You could also get a Sulphur flask of Reflexes(increased evasion) with a high roll to help out. Getting a Dying Sun would also probably help, but would certainly be quite expensive since they are going for 2,4ex atm.

Hope that helps. Feel free to reply with any further question or feedback, I'll be sure to answer!

Heya! Thanks for the reply! I just checked your PoB! I'll will start by saying that I greatly discourage using Chain and GMP(Awakened GMP is good though because the extra projectile and double attack speed bonus makes it worth it) Lancing steel because you'll take a really heavy hit to damage and mana cost even though you'll be hitting enemies more widely. I really prefer pierce instead of Chain because it allows you to focus enemies at the back of the mob pack. And by swapping GMP for Vicious projectiles your damage wil greatly increase. Having a lot of extra projectiles is awesome for this build, but you need to balance extra projs with base damage, otherwise you'll simply be a peashotter.
Regarding the Offering to the Serpent, you may get one without +1 frenzy and upgrade to one with it afterwards when they become widely available, just try to get one with a good implicit(like attack speed, global phys damage, damage while leeching, life gained for each enemy hit by your attacks or damage) or any implicit that helps that you can find, focus on getting one with the highest attack speed and damage while leeching you can afford if the price is reasonable.
Whenever possible try to get upgrades for your jewels(you may use the search I personally use when searching for upgrades https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Ultimatum/RW54reWT7), you could also get a Lord of Steel with impale effect since it will actually increase your damage.
You're using Poacher's mark, which is fine if you're having life sustain issues, but Sniper's mark really helps if you can let go of Poacher's mark's great sustain.
I also saw that you're using 2 Jade Flasks, swap one of them for a Diamond flask since multiple effects of flasks of the same base don't stack. Try also changing the Mana Flask for a Sulphur Flask if you switch Chain and GMP for Vicious projs and Pierce.

You said you have little time to play and 1.2 ex in your stash. So focus on getting an upgrade to your Glyph Grasp Sapphire Ring with more life then get a impale effect Lord of Steel, then ugrade your jewels. If you have enough currency by then, get a Offering to the Serpent and a good Large cluster with no more than 8 passives and at least 2 notables, being 3 notables the ideal, try getting one with at least Feed the Fury and Smite the weak(you can check the best notables on the build guide). Feed the Fury gives you damage and leech, Smite the Weak gives you damage. If you have enough currency after the shopping spree, try getting a Watcher's eye with a nice bonus while affected by Pride(you can also check the guide for reference).

Hope that helps! Have fun and enjoy the build! May RNGesus bless your drops!

Shouldn't we go First to Strike, Last to Fall with Petrified Blood? I think that the interaction is quite broken. You'll proc Adrenaline most of the time.
