Oh right, very important, Chaos Recipe.
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Vendor_recipe_system
It's quite a long page, but most important stuff are [Quality Items], [Sockets], [Multiple Rare Items]
Chromatic, Chaos, GCP, Chisel, Jeweller Orb recipes, are among the most important.

Because of various important recipes and many critical drops, if you still using default loot filter (which is shit), you will miss out crap tons of income.
Who knows maybe you already missed out a few Exalted Orb or even Mirror of Kalandra but you didn't know it...
Explanation of loot filter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2roRv243rg
My own filter: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=87666158
Of course there are various other loot filters out there, I'm totally not a fan of Neversink's work but that happens to be the most popular.

//---

Understanding where damage comes from is quite a tough topic. Hell I don't even know it well enough despite played a few years.
More passive doesn't automatically give you more damage; but understanding how things related with each other is important. Every item matters.
When see people's build with millions and BILLIONS of dps, you gotta wonder how is that even achieved.

currently i use display all loot and check every item when drop, very slow method. i see you got 2 filter, abyss abyss adv which i should use? does your filter exclude the 3.0 att bow -quill rain?

Or you could use this one with minimum font size 24 (also fixed a minor issue): https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am7oOP0edqKKjTqDOl5ZWf3CR7FR

All unique items are shown, even if you don't want to sell them, can vendor them for alchemy shards.
You can easily customize it with the tool Filtration to the size, color, sound effect you want. Everything should be pretty self-explanatory in that software.
Everything show up are worth picking up for their reason, minus the white item if you don't want to craft & 4-links that you don't want.

4-tab of default inventory might be a bit struggle tbh, if you up to purchase more tabs, make sure to have 1x Currency Tab, and the rest are regular or premium tabs.
Other utility tabs are not as important, or not worth their prices. Or wait till have stash tabs discount, next league start probably will have another discount, maybe.

More ramblings:

i want do increase the font size of your filter, it is too small filtration need to install? cant run from standalone?

Just download the zip file, no need to install.
I'm playing on big screen, no need big text

i now directly use your edit large filter since i run the filtration totally do not know to use

i now at act 10 already at level 71, those creep no longer 1 or 2 hits die, need 4-5hits based on 2500dps; if blue creep then ever worse need more hit, dying few times due to trapped by creeps even normal creep 1 hit on me cost me 30-45% life, crazy!

Pretty sure you can do near 10k dps easily if fix your other items.
The unique jewels aren't giving as much dps as you would thought. At best they give 100dps in your current setup, despite they sounds kinda cool with "15% global physical".
Where an Abyss Jewel like the one I gave you, gives 3X more dps, it's not even a good rolled jewel

Replacing accessories without DPS mod, with those with about +40% elemental damage to attack skills, and a better bow.
Also fixed abit your passive tree, you might be going a bit too far to the left, where the same stuff can all get at the south. Also try take those DPS nodes close to home.
Yield about 12k dps easily. Spend a bit of time shopping on https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/ , will help out a lot.
The thing about crit, as far as I see it, there's two way about it - either you go fully into crit, or you don't. (might be wrong)
So, it's Ok to cancel those crit passive, and spec into other DPS nodes, projectile damage, physical damage, bow physical damage, to give a more consistent dps.

I just noticed you didn't have Ascendancy , like a second-job or sub-class in other games.
This is very important for a lot of reasons, including DPS boost. Have you played Labyrinth? Surely you came across some of those "trap trials" before?
Ranger have 3 Ascendancy - Raider is mix of defense and offence, Deadeye is pure DPS, Pathfinder is about Flask buff.
Raider is probably the more suitable choice here, giving you survivality.

i did nto use your formula to calculate dps, i always open "C" and "I" key, then replace Jewel to tree skill or replace bow/gem into socket into setup then monitor the page of C key dps value whether is up or down, that is my method. is this accurate?

You see the wrong skill under [C]. Should click your Tornado Shot icon.
Actually, just hover your mouse on the hotbar beside the mana orb, the dps already shown there, it's the same as in [C] character panel.
Your current Tornado Shot should be doing about 3435 dps.
Path of Building software is the only way I can see these number of other people's account anyway, the POE webpage profile page don't show these things.



this one how, one side want macam-macam resistance in one accessories, at the same time want dps mod, got such item meh?
That's why they are more expensive.
Spend time finding the balance, if your armor pieces provide a lot of resist, then you don't need to depend on ring too much, vice versa.
Usually I start getting decent armor pieces & belt first (LIFE & resist), and finally see how much resist I still need on rings.

i try to get that big portion of life +49% and +10 +10str and i removed 1 point of +30str
weird, why you no suggest me on the big ring +15% +15% +15% +24% one, instead go smaller % dps?
Can, if you decide to then it's fine. Both good.
[Aspect of the Lynx] is a pretty good node, since it just right beside your path might as well get it.
Those leech nodes might be useful if you don't have other method of LIFE leech.
You should have dozen more points to spent anyway, should be enough to also get the Mana Reserve nodes, just north of your starting point.
That, together with a helmet like Alpha's Howl, should allows you to reserve THREE aura - Herald of Ash, Hatred (cold dps), and a curse.

weird thing is even i killed Izaro, the objective at my screen still ask me to complete Labyrinth quest
You have to activate a "panel" in the next room filled with chests to finally get TWO ascendancy points. The panel is at the right side of the exit green portal.
The machine in beside those chests, allow you to craft a random mod onto glove/boot/helmet. The "word of frost" on your glove, is one example of Lab crafted mod.
There are 4 tiers of Izaro fight, so in total you get 8 ascendancy points.

At least optimize the passive for now, as there are 4 minor dex nodes that aren't really doing anything. 3 points saved by making this change.
Don't be afraid of using the re-spec points, you can always get more later by using Regret Orb.
Although don't mess up your Ascendancy tree, as resetting ascendancy costs 5X more than passive tree

- Mana Reserve
Aura, that reserve your mana (or LIFE if use "Blood Magic") is a form of passive skill. You activate it and it stays working all the time, really handy stuff.
So, Blasphemy convert a curse into aura, so you don't need to cast curse manually, makes playing HELLA A LOT easier.

There is no reason to increase your mana amount, unless you playing a build that uses the mechanic "Mind over Matter" which transfer portion of damage to mana.
We want to reserve as much aura as possible to either give as many buff as possible, or auto-curse enemy. Reserve to a point you are left with very little mana that is enough to cast your skill.
So, mana leech is an important aspect to keep this very tiny amount of mana filled up, so you don't get into a situation that you cannot cast your skill.

Hatred is same as Herald of Ash, except higher % and higher mana reserve requirement. It is cold element, and it's really cool to shatter enemy with cold damage, REALLY.

Without any "reduced mana reserve" passive or mods, you won't be able to use Herald of Ash (25%), Hatred (50%), and a curse (35%). Because that's adds up to 110%.
Let say you pick the "Charisma" passive, you get total of 12% reduction. But that doesn't mean 110-12... no.
The math goes like this:

Herald of Ash: 25% x (1 - 0.12) = 25% x 0.88 = 22%
Hatred: 50% x 0.88 = 44
Curse: 35% x 0.88 = 30.8 = 31
Total reserve = 97%, you will likely not having enough mana to cast skill at all. So here's where Alpha's Howl come into play, reducing another 8%.

Herald of Ash: 25% x (1 - 0.2) = 25% x 0.8 = 20%
Hatred: 50% x 0.8 = 40
Curse: 35% x 0.8 = 30.8 = 28
Total reserve = 88%

Hatred is preferred because it works the same way as Herald of Ash did - taking % of your physical damage.
Herald of Ice and Lightning both give their own fixed value, so they aren't as effective as Fire and Hatred.

Look at my mana orb below, only 33 mana left after reserve, but is enough to spam my skill.


//===

-Ascendancy
Normally people choose Pierce over Chain. So, take Powerful Precision, and Endless Munitions.
With piercing, you can use a unique quiver - Drillneck, to further increase damage.

i am confuse when you said add dps accessories, eg for gem, i am quite confuse all this while. correct me if i am wrong:

support gem: apply to hit any enemies (must link with the primary attack skill; so i need to search dmg support gem that give extra dmg?)

aura gem: need to activate it and cause certain % of mana reserved (then i owned this aura effect; so i need to search dmg aura gem?)

as such:
-brutuality support gem (red)
-burning damage support gem (red)
-vile toxic support gem (green)
-hatred (green)
-haste - speed (green)
-purity of ice (green)
-immolate support (blue)
-decay support -chaos (blue)
-purity of lightning (blue)

side topic, what is Curse to Hit support gem? is this gem must link to a curse gem to work? so it become auto-hit-cursed?

then i should U-turn, 2-2-2-2 for all the links; sound like last 2 nodes from 4-nodes link are not that good

i am confuse when you said add dps accessories
Rings, amulet, belt can rolls mods like "Add xx physical to attack", "Increase xx% elemental damage", "Add xx fire/cold/lighting damage", "Accuracy", "Crit Multipler" these contribute to your skill dps.

support gem
Not all support gems are to increase damage, there are various useful utilities like "Culling Strike" that kills everything with <10% HP instantly, useful for boss.
Support gem, as it name sounds like, support your attack/spell skill, making them stronger and better. Or completely change behavior.
Attack too slow? Add Faster Attack. Simplest example.
Obviously, because the large amount of gems, it does takes time to learn them all, and understand how to mix match them however you want.

support gem: apply to hit any enemies
Er, no. Support gem don't hit enemy. The skill that it support, hit enemy.
You augment your skills with support gem, like you add a turbo booster in your car engine to make your car faster.
And then you add black tinted, spoiler, HID light... All augment/change the basic object - your car.

aura gem
In most cases we just want to use DPS aura, because regular LIFE build really can't reserve more than 3 or 4 aura. So, make good use of the reserve.
Character build that can reserve a lot of aura are usually "Low Life" character, they reserve both mana and LIFE, and stack Energy Shield as their "LIFE" instead.

When you searching on the stash, type "Aura" instead. It will list all aura.
On your list above, Brutality, Burning Damage, Vile Toxin, Immolate, Decay are just regular skill support gems.

Curse on Hit
You need to link it to a skill, so that skill apply curse when it hit something.
Eg: Lighting Arrow (attack skill) + Curse on Hit + Assassin's Mark (curse)
Usually, Curse on hit is paired with a secondary skill that can apply curse very fast across wide area.
But this play style obviously require you to play multiple skills all the time, in contrast to the "lazy" Blasphemy method.

then i should U-turn, 2-2-2-2 for all the links; sound like last 2 nodes from 4-nodes link are not that good
No one would turn away from "additional projectile"...
Let say you uses Reach of the Council unique bow (2 projectile) + this Ascendancy (1 arrow), your skill already fire 4 arrows without using LMP or GMP.
Quiver can also corrupt with additional arrow mod, that's the most wanted corrupt mod on quiver, and often very expensive. Shaper mod consist of additional arrow.
Now, quiver that fires 2 additional arrow is the most expensive.
LMP & GMP have damage penalty, so if you can remove these gems, you got boost on dps! AND free up one socket for another DPS support!


now i alr finish act 10 at lab there and have not start anything; i just want to ask where i can farm xp quick, easy kill creeps repetitive....
Hmm, find a place that you can kill fast but is still area above level 60, so you can still do the Chaos recipe. That's Act 9 though.

but my tornado shot need mana also.... i notice even now sometime i run out of mana... mean need more mana capacity if go auto aura..
Your current skill cost is 21 mana with attack rate of 2.58, so you used up 54 mana per second.
Your current mana leech rate is 12 PER TARGET HIT, and mana regen 9 per second.
I don't want to go into all the crazy math, but basically when your arrow aren't hitting anything then you're in trouble.
Increasing dps will increase the leech rate. Do carry a mana potion in case needed.

Yep, also one strategy can use. Just make sure your resist is capped, since you don't get LIFE, resist, nor DPS mods from this unique ring.

or... use Essence Worm (unique Unset Ring)

put 50% reserve into the ring

You ever wondered why sometime server down / lag?
Blame this guy



This post has been edited by digitalifelesss: Feb 18 2018, 11:10 PM

want to ask my resist, the math not tally. i wonder is there penalty at my gear note: i forgot to add +18% all resist from the new suit, in total should be 88% +18%.
