Hi! Nice post right there. One quick question, How did you craft the belt? any tips/guide to do so? Also on what budget can you craft it? I'm just finishing crafting my ammy, just need the awakener orb and a couple more ex for the other stats crafts with harvest (Already have the 2 bases)

The process to crafting the belt cheaply requires some luck, but on average it will be significantly cheaper than buying one. I personally spent 12ex to craft the belt as is, but I got a bit lucky. I started by buying an i86 Stygian Vise and using a Hunter Orb on it, followed by a Scour and 4 Fertile Catalysts (this step is important). Then I simply used any reforge I could possibly use in Harvest, prioritizing Physical and Life reforges. I hit T1 Life, T1 Overwhelm, and T1 Resist off a Physical Reforge. I had a garbage armor mod (prefix) and an open suffix, so I bench crafted a prefix to block the open slot, augmented the second resist (got lucky but if it hits a low tier, use rem/add until you get t1/t2, it should be the only suffix it can hit). Then I removed the bench craft, crafted Suffixes Cannot be Changed, used a Remove Defence to get rid of armor, then used Augment Influence. This one is tricky, because it can hit any of the Hunter prefix mods. The better approach would have been to Augment Life, then hope for t1 %life. If not, Remove/Add Influence until you get life. Thankfully the weighting isn't too bad, but the avg amount of tries is still around 10-12 iirc.

If any of this is confusing feel free to send me a message or reply on this thread and I can try to clarify things. In general, just spam chaos until you hit at least 2 good mods then work with the rest. Also, once you are done with T1 Life and T1 %Life, the only Critical mod you can hit is flask charges. So as long as you remove your bench prefix and augment critical, you are guaranteed to hit Flask Charges

Edit: I forgot to mention. If you hit other mods but need phys, the process is largely the same. Fill the prefixes then augment physical, and use remove/add physical until you hit Overwhelm. This method is significantly cheaper.

Here is my pob , i replaced Rumy flask with dying sun flask , Kinetic bolt with power siphon and Barrage with Increased critical damage, just to test them, seems much faster on clear with HH

I wouldn't recommend swapping Rumi's for Dying Sun. Rumi's provides a lot of defenses through armor and block. Dying Sun doesn't really provide this build any benefit, and can actually reduce your effective damage with its Increased Area of Effect mod. I think you're misunderstanding the core of this build, which is ok, so I'll outline it here:

The wand attack that we use in our six link is designed to hit as many enemies as possible so that we can crit as much as possible, so that we can trigger Bladefall as much as possible. This is so that Blade Blast can detonate as close to its maximum number of blades as possible. With this in mind, we want a projectile that can either pierce, fork, or chain. This is generally why we use Kinetic Bolt linked to Barrage, because the projectile forks, while barrage gives us a lot of attack speed. Another option for bosses like Sirus is to swap the Kinetic Bolt (blue) to Concentrated Effect (blue), and Barrage Support (green) to Barrage Attack (green). This allows us the same, if not more, attack speed, but sacrifices the fork for concentrated effect. This means that the blades we leave on the ground are much closer together, causing the damage from Blade Blast to overlap much more.

Using Power Siphon is an option, but it strictly lacks pierce, fork, or chain for map clearing. You could use it on bosses since it has culling strike, but by using Increased Critical Damage instead of Barrage Support, you are losing a lot of attack speed, meaning you have less blades to detonate. Not only this, but Increased Critical Damage is largely irrelevant to our attack setup, as the majority of our damage comes from Blade Blast.

For all the other people struggling with this build's damage: You need the Bladefall Enchant and Awakened Spell Cascade to see the true PoB dps. Without these, you won't be detonating anywhere near the actual 40 blades that is shown. If you don't have these yet, simply set your PoB to show 10 blades detonated and it will be a conservative, but more accurate measurement of DPS. I estimate that without these gems the average amount of blades detonated is around 15-20.

I don't get why unnatural instinct is being used. Dropping herald of purity for flesh and stone makes the herald nodes useless. the only thing you seem to get out of it that is useful are the mana/spell dmg nodes.
