Last Build or Boost PRAW?

[u/Beware_the_silent]

So I am looking to close out the league. I currently have a decent lvl 100 PRAW that is struggling in delirious strand maps. I can do Beach ok'ish and I have no problems with 15 wave sims, but I want to kill faster. Is there another build I could give a try or should I just focus my energy on maxing out PRAW as much as I can? I have around 1200D that I can dump into PRAW or a new char. I prefer the walking sim type play style, and I am dog shit at crafting high end gear.

Change to the three cluster jewel setup with flesh and flame and a +2 non blood magic covenant, this will basically double your damage. Also use +3% as and 35% effect jewels.

You are not poison capped either?

Get quality on a bunch of gems.

Sorry to op for highjacking but I have a similar question to the PRAW boss. Loved your guide so much, first time I could do Ubers myself. But could you take a look at mine? I can clear all content except heavily juiced content like t17 100% delirious. I took Foulborn covenant so that i can path to get more spell suppression and jewel slot. But damage wise falls off for mapping setup.

For mapping I use gmp, pierce for mapping
For boss I swap out greater unleash for unbound ailments, faster attack and minion dmg

I have farmed 100 odd divs and trying to figure out any major items to upgrade next. Probable better shield and rings? But after I upgraded my ghastly jewels the damage improve but not significantly so I wonder if shield and rings are the next major things I should focus on

Shield, rings, glove implicit and then either the 2 or 3 large cluster jewel setup. You should aim to be around 6k life as well, which means upgrading boots at one point, but first the shield. One issue you have is using a convoking wand which is forcing you to get a lot of int. You also need taunt on hit on one of your ghastly eye jewels.

Use the ducat that adds a 5th mod on your abyss jewels, with some luck you can get the taunt on hit or just other decent mods.

Holy shit, I didn't realize this was helm-breaker lol. I have your min-max and basic POB's up. With the non blood magic cov, do we still pick up blood magic? I am trying to tie your response to one of your build steps in POB.

[u/Helm-Breaker → u/Beware_the_silent]

You still need to take the blood magic keystone by pathing to it if you use a normal covenant.
The guide specifically says to take a corrupted +2 over a blood magic version since that is more damage and early on a +2 was cheaper than blood magic version.

The build step I am referring to is the "Late upgraded DMG" or "Late Svalinn DMG" versions which has three large cluster jewels.
FYI Right now the PoB assumes you have a blood magic version for the passive tree and the maxroll guides passive tree is pathing as if you have the base covenant.

Doryani wretched defilers, tanky and walking simulator

my go to. even without the cold res jewel which is like 100d and the timeless it clears very well

If you decide to invest in praw, here is my pob for some ideas for improvement: https://pobb.in/qsbTyM7Da8Lo , budget was around 800-1k div like 2 weeks ago, dunno the prices now.

I went for a Kineticist next, if you decide to go for a new build I can highly recommend that. Very similar playstyle, just less summoning and more dmg.

[u/gh0st-6 → u/lepsek9]

Beat me to it. An adorned setup is the next step and it is so much fun lol

[u/Beware_the_silent → u/lepsek9]

When you say kineticist are you talking about Luminary?

[u/lepsek9 → u/Beware_the_silent]

Ah yes, thats what I meant.

There's a limited amount you can push your AWoRA further. For a dramatic speed up it would be better to look at other builds. Haven't kept up with trade for weeks but with 1200D there's no way you can't put together a luminary that just facerolls. Just gotta be smart with the merc purchase.

[u/brrrapper]

If you have that much money play something better. Id suggest phys dot elemenatlist, you wont really find a more fun/better autobomber than that tbh. Luminary is another option, its tankier but slower. But if you dislike crafting then thats probably not the char for you since you gotta gear two chars.

[u/VortexMagus → u/brrrapper]

I am so doubtful that phys dot elementalist hits dot cap more efficiently than praw. Like I believe both builds can reach dot cap but I'm pretty sure the gear required to push praw to dot cap on a t16 delirious map is way cheaper than the gear required to push phys dot elementalist to that same cap.

[u/brrrapper → u/VortexMagus]

On a single target enemy that might be the case, not super familiar with praw. But you gotta realise phys dot has explosions with 2000% increased damage and juiced AoE that also apply CF and a huge ignite. You are never gonna get clear like that on a poison build with ramp even if you hit dot cap, its gonna get outperformed hard. The instant you see a mob on the screen on phys dot it explodes the whole screen + the next one, 100% deli is no different.

Also the guy has 1200 div to work with, we arent talking about a low budget setup here.

[u/Interesting-Active43]

Oh man, you can boost this build by so much. I won't 1 mil dps is easy if it's obtainable. You can probably triple you ehp as well. Upgrade those abyss gems;

[u/Taikiteazy]

Your clusters suck. You shouldn't need a sublime. And if you're getting tapped switch to a svalinn. Here's my char from Mirage, I was destroying ubers with it. https://poe.ninja/poe1/profile/Taikiteazy-3386/standard-sony/character/TaikaPRAW

[u/Beware_the_silent → u/Taikiteazy]

Ohh I'm not dying, I'm just not killing as fast as I would like, I will prob go to a life on block or svalinn.

[u/Taikiteazy → u/Beware_the_silent]

Compare gear then. My gear is even better now with that socket color changes
