I can not beat the arbiter and I don’t have any better gears for the moment , did anybody have an idea how i can rise my damage ?

I only got 110 divines , so you believe there is something to do or am I stuck ?

Thanks for advice Exiles

By looking at your gear I'm impressed you got to 94, I think headhunter just hard carried you to that point.

There is literally no piece of gear you couldn't upgrade for as low as a couple divs.

Also I'll say you should go full evasion gear because it scales way better for sorcery ward, ditch the hybrid stuff. You don't need max life on it too because your life will be sorc ward so go for the highest evasion gear you can afford.

Your weapon is just bad beside the +6. Get one with high phys damage, it scales so much better. At worst it can have a very good t1 cold damage roll but full phys is for sure better.

Let me just start by saying, it shows that you're probably very new to the game.

In order to not overwhelm you with information, or discourage you by absolutely roasting the shit of what you're currently doing - especially that you now have your character available on poe ninja - I'd suggest using the tool to look at what other people are doing with the skills that interest you.

Secondly, i'd suggest taking the time to think about what you're even doing by reading what your skills and support gems do. For example, the Arbiter is a singular boss with no adds and your permafrost bolt skill contains a support gem that reloads your crossbow when you kill something. I'm sure you understand that in order to kill the arbiter easier, you don't really need to have something that will only ever trigger once you kill the arbiter.

You're not stuck, you're just a bit lost and are trying your hardest to find shortcuts. Take your time, understand what it is you and other people are doing.

I’m not online atm, and I see you got some advice, but I have some gear I crafted for attack builds that isnt selling as well as I was hoping, I’ll be online in 1,5-2hrs.

If you’re online then I’ll send you a whisper

Look into Hyrris Ire unique armour. It's what I run on my cold mercenary build. Really good defensively and adds cold damage. Pretty cheap to buy too.

Get some more spirit so you can run Eternal rage and swap Ice Bite 2 with Bhatair's Vengance. All your single target comes from Frag rounds effect vs frozen targets, so maybe some Sine Aequo which help you freeze faster and do 24% more damage to frozen. One of your last goals should be getting a Rakiata's Flow, since that will flip bosses big cold resistance to negative resistance. Before that point, some cold penetration on jewels or elemental exposure through frost bomb will help.

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
