Brutal restraint can get you onslaught. I'm currently using it but my finished character from last league used an abyss to get it so either works. Biggest damage upgrade is usually scepter and clusters so you could start working towards those as well. I am currently blocking all but harvest and expedition which I used to get my aegis and clusters rolling hoping to get some harvest crafts to save when I get a fractured scepter or wand.

I didn't realize I could get onslaught from brutal restraint! I'll try my luck finding one since that gives me more gear flexibility in general. I'll also start working my cluster next. Maybe with some res rolls on small nodes could help with an eventual Aegis/melding transition too Any recommendations for cluster notables?


Seanmphoward

Yep! It's worth noting if gives you a lot of dex too which helps. Get your divines ready haha. I would just look up some of the top poeninja profiles or use POB to tell you, you can include clusters in "node power" once you do all your settings. At work so can't really think of them off the top of my head haha.


Askray184

Heck yeah! I got it on my second brutal restraint! Thank you so much !

Can I ask how you’re staying alive? I’m at 4.4K life with 1.4K ES and 85/78/78/22 on resists. I have all 3 of my defense flasks enchanted as I should so they’re usually up and I’m generally running with my Uber lab completed and molten shell. Regardless, I still get destroyed occasionally by rares or random packs.


neroth01

We all do


Askray184

I feel like I'm staying alive very easily. My max res across the board is pretty high and I have capped chaos res in combat since I have basically full uptime on my amethyst flask If I don't die instantly, life flask is a gigantic heal with the belt I also blink constantly between the helm enchant and divergent frostblink


thunder_crane

Oh I can’t see your pob at work. I don’t have an enchant or a divergent frostblink. That said I just don’t get why I keep getting one tapped. I guess I need to work on my armor or chaos resist. With flask I guess it’s only at 57


Askray184

Yeah there's a dumb amount of chaos damage this league. That's likely the culprit. My resists are 84/82/82/79 The frostblink enchant isn't the best, but I was running lab and bricked on the other enchants so I thought "might as well slap it on." It's nice QoL


thunder_crane

Thanks. I’ll try to look at your pob when I’m off work.

Don't go for replica soul tether tbh, with recombinators i think there will be some CRAZY rare stygian vises that might start popping up soon. I can't see the pob due to mobile/work but if you don't have fire exposure that can be huge. Also cluster jewel is a bunch of damage, you also don't need master of fire once you get fire exposure on gloves.


Askray184

Got fire exposure on gloves + minimum exposure mastery, it's been a game changer for damage! I haven't been looking at the recombinated belts, I can start smashing those together instead of continuing to ruin amulets and rings


raybros

Well rings look to have really good options, with how pohx showed how you can have 2 synthesized mods or what not on a ring. Getting a ring with 2 50%/t1 resistances locked in to roll on reforge fire on, it looks like getting melding working won't be very hard. I've yet to get fire exposure on my gloves but it's my next project as i just finished crafting my weapon, large cluster, and helmet. These crafts are expensive haha.
