That's Mathil, the one person that can shake the foundation & economy of PoE with every word he says. A.K.A, he's a pro that understand how to min-max everything.
If you study the tree, it looks pretty typical, except he used Lioneye's Fall jewel, to convert non-bow nodes to affect bow. It is a very expensive jewel last I checked.
The reason why he do that is to get crit multiplier and leech from the claw area.
Point Blank also provide tons of dps boost.
Also that expensive Dying Sun flask provide over 40% boost to the dps number, just that ONE flask.If you take these away, we're looking at 375k dps 5-link and 550k 6-link (max level max quality gems) which is pretty commonly achievable, already enough to do all contents.
Damage on FullLife (6th gem on his link) provide tons of dps, provided you can maintain full life, which is why he use Vaal Pack to get faster leech to maintain it.
Every item used, provide boost to dps. Gem quality, also provide a lot of dps.
Why he uses Death Opus? Because this is a crit build, that bow have higher BASE CRIT than other bows.
The build he shown in PoB is the IDEAL situation, where you get all the good rolls on items, especially those accessories with high Elemental Damage with Attack.
The stuff shown in PoB is NOT FULLY CRAFTED, that's why many other things seems weird if you see those numbers in PoB, like very low life and resist.
He simply use PoB to calculate theoretically how much dps the build can achieve, if he get all the necessary dps rolls.
Opal ring provide extra elemental damage by itself already. But tbh it's quite a rare drop, but not too expensive to buy one and try craft yourself.
But then again, a properly crafted Open Ring can cost shit tons.
Why Raider? Because he want a method to generate Frenzy Charge. Frenzy provide large amount of dps boost.
The boots, adds +1 to max frenzy.
Helmet with
Barrage Atk Speed or Damage Labyrinth mod.
That armor is ideal because this is a crit build, further boosting crit chance.
Glove to convert physical damage to cold damage.
The total cost of getting all the necessary stuff shown on PoB, and proper life & resist rolls on accessories, is probably about 15 exalt.I'm not gonna say I fully understand how to achieve millions of dps, because I never really spent that much, or even farmed that much in a single league...
The passive tree is not the be-all-end-all, understand what ITEMS to use, is very important.
