hi sir,

sorry to say that your pob is a bit messy ; or maybe I don't know how to use it ? But as long as I can see, your goal gear is not even resistances capped, it's very painful to switch the different steps' active gems to see mana reservation etc.

And if im looking at your profile, it's totaly different from the pob ... making me very confused about what i have to seek first ... the pob or your profile, do i need devouring diadem ? gloves can be skip now ? i was trying to get some strengh on gear for steelskin but you seems to not even use it anymore, etc

I agree, it's messy. I think OP is still figuring things out and/or not being completely overt with things that might increase the costs of items before he can get them himself. =)

I'm SSF so I'm just rolling with what I've got, but I think you have several options for this build that will work out well together; Slavedrivers vs. Malachai's etc. Now after the patch the mana costs are lower as well, so I'm only using my Enduring mana flask every now and then instead of constantly, so this might also influence item choice.

I'm still using Steelskin, but that's also basically the only reason I have for picking up Strength nodes from the tree, so I'm sceptical - but as I'm only in low tier maps still I'm not terribly worried - and since I'm SSF I don't need to bother about chasing items or price increases either.
At least Strength gives some extra HP. =)

I'm level 85 with this build and I'm struggling with DPS, clear is ok, but rares and bosses are though.
And i'm still in white maps, I could jump into yellow but I don't think will be able to complete them.

Here is my POB: https://pastebin.com/9UEWXuyc

I have 6L Tinkerkin and gems level 19, any recommendatios?

Agree, the pob is a mess - I don't even sure anymore which support gems to use on the 5th and 6th slots.

I agree, it is a messy especially if you are newer to PoB. It does take some messing with the PoB to see which changes are best since he gives so many options for some things (or places where socket group names are straight up wrong compared to the actual gems in the socket group, like "Aura's - Hatred + Skitter" having Zealotry + Skitter instead can be confusing to someone who doesn't know how to sort and pick gems based on DPS). I think it was intended for people to watch his video guide for full details on the optional choices, but I don't know how up to date that is. Unless there's going to be an update vid or something, it would be nice for the PoB to be streamlined/cleaned up.

Hey pros, now that I started getting used to PoB, I have one new question:

When you change from stormblast mine to icetrap, which weapon should I be using/looking for? Thanks!

+1 to all cold gems will probably give you the most.

Putting what you find in PoB will give you a better idea.

Buy 21/0 Ice Trap, replace all flat cold damage to spells wands with +1 cold spell skills wands, get Malachai's Artifice and use with Arma Brand for free EE. Also, Chain Reaction is kinda meh, Explosives Expert is much better for damage if you don't want to prioritize Pyromaniac for survivability.

I'm at similar atlas progression to you with no 6L Tinkerskin - low yellows are no problem for me so far and I killed my first round of conquerors in a few seconds with pre-loaded traps.

Where do I get my frenzy charges from? I can't seem to find it.

Edit : found it - charged traps

Is there a way to speed up the detonation of the ice traps? There is a huge delay between the deployment and the detonation, but again, I just got ice trap and am running them with a 4L (icetrap + swift + trap damage + elemental focus).

As it is right now, I think I was better with stormblast. But I am super noob, so dont mind me.

are we leaving arcane surge at level 1? it looks like you do from the pob, just asking for confirmation

p.s great guide so far keep it up!
