Hey not sure if this has been pointed out or asked before. But in your Belt's abyssal jewel you have increased damage over time with a 2 hand weapon. But further down you say that that modifier doesnt apply to us since we dont attack with the bow directly. So should i look for an abyssal jewel that has normal damage over time or should i look for something else on it?

Damage WITH bow doesn't work
Damage WHILE wielding a bow works
Pretty sure it's the second one that appears on abyss jewels

Question about the new Toxic Rain alternate quality gem, does the 20% debuff effect just effect the hinder (so it would be 8% per pod slow instead of 10% per pod)

Pretty sure it's just the slow but wouldn't the +2 arrows quality be better? Extra arrows are always welcome for clear speed and this saves the fuss of obtaining head enchant.

Question: How are y'all using Blink Arrow? Without actively thinking about it, I just don't tend to use it much, since I already have withering step & dash... it doesn't share a cooldown with those, but I still just don't use it often, so it feels like a bit of a waste, especially since culling strike is attached to it. Thoughts/tips?

I used it in the secondary action bar for crossing big gaps (moon temple map, pillars of arrun etc.)

If you use culling strike just proc the arrow clone once when the boss is low hp.

This league so far. Feel's a little lack of damage is there anyway to improve?

sand stance is the perferred stance for flesh and stone correct?

We don't care about physical damage so blood is useless.

Again I'm not sure how well this advice will even transfer to this game, but damage over time is always my preferred style of fighting. I learned a lot doing poison builds in Dark Souls.

Monsters don't panic so... doesn't transfer at all.

Witchfire's brew + lvl 3 or 4 empower + lvl 21 toxic rain + anniot amulet should help your single target dmg a lot.

guys the best way to craft +2 bow gems and + 1 gem level is using delve crafting: 1 Metallic Fossil + Jagged Fossil + Corroded Fossil will take you like 4 tries, i get mine in my first trie

This is a great find. The only note here is you should use Corroded, Metallic, Shuddering. At the time of writing it's cheaper than using Jagged.

For those unfamiliar with fossil crafting, here's the jist -
1. Buy a 6 link bow iLVL64-82 (This is extremely important. Porcupine cards will not work. Do not exceed 82). Scour it to base. (make sure it's not corrupted or unique...)
2. Buy Powerful Resonators, Corroded Fossils, Metallic Fossils, and Shuddering Fossils. Note buying fossils is awful. Go over to bulk item exchange, buy 3 at a time minimum. You'll pay more but your life will be better.
3. Put fossils in resonator, apply to 6L. If you hit +1 to Socketed Gems, +2 to Socketed Bow Gems, and Damage over time OR Attack Speed, you're golden. Craft DOT or AS at the bench, whichever you didn't get. Otherwise, scour and try again.

On average, this should take 5 attempts. At the time of writing, this costs 20c per attempt, and 100c average overall for the craft. I picked up a rare steelwood bow for 50c. We're very early in league so expect this to change if you read this in a few days. As always, your luck may vary, crafting in POE is painful, and expect you could take 10 attempts.


A quick note on bases- Pick something with 1.40 attacks per second or better. See this list. Reflex, Steelwood, Maraketh all have movement speed which is great for this build. Maraketh is expensive. Steelwood tends to be cheap. I recommend steelwood but do some searching.


Edit: Craft of Building Link for the above craft for those who like that sort of thing.

I picked up this jewel in my first grand heist



Maybe it's helpful for some people who can't find Elreon crafts or the temple mod with -X mana costs, this is also only around 4c in the market. For me it solved mana problems for leveling. I'm still at the very beginning though and might change for the ring option when I have enough currency.

made this yesterday, was lucky as fuck with getting t3 AS after like 8 imprints
