Hi guys, need help with suggestions on what I have to upgrade to improve the damage on comets. I have 126Divs atm, I am farming abbys and fractures to get going. Please let me know what to prioritise first to improve the damage and other things later as i farm.

Thanks in advance!!
First thought (I looked for like 2 seconds so take it with a grain of salt.) One way is +to skills. I use vertex, amulet for that, got a cheap little +3 vertex with crit chance still on it. And then your gloves, you should go for maligaros because then you don't have to fight so hard for crit damage bonus. Downside is your not gonna get like 500% multipler but you could get 100% crit chance
Hey, I have an alt that does pretty good dps and can clear all content with adoinias egos pinnacle of power and ice nova/coc comet/firestorm. This current snapshot does not include the good supports, but does just as well, but you can use time machine to roll it back a couple weeks. This build works really well with life costs instead of mana. The wands, chest, heart of well, and gloves are required for this setup to work well. All else is pretty lax on requirements. This one generates 9 charges for pinnacle of power.

You have to use the frost bomb in weaponset II only and pinnacle of power in set I. Firestorm is set in both weaponsets and ice nova is used for clearing maps and weaponset I only.
Your skill tree looks very suboptimal like all the monk stuff is pretty pointless and you'd get to the power charge stuff on the right easier from the piece of your tree that's close already. Around. Grab something on the left side of the tree instead so you don't need as many secondary skill points there. The nodes around eldritch battery are much easier accessed from the top.
Your bed let budget upgrade would be looking into crit with the gloves that give you fixed crit dmg bonus instead of your current rather pointless ones. Going crit with them is pretty budget friendly and you can just focus on crit chance instead of dmg which lets you run support gems like pinpoint critical which is quite strong.
Another semi budget transition is the Armor unique for life leech on spells combined with mana stacking for mana remnants and archmage. You easily got the spirit by getting rid of either coa or coc. The benefit of both is negligible and both will net similar results with enough crit with coc triggering slightly more at the top end and using less spirit. If you need more spirit blasphemy is pretty pointless too because spark should just kill everything anyways. Super late game you can transition this towards rathpit in the off hand but for now this budget variant should be very good.
Your belt seems unspectacular and you could probably solve a lot of potential Res issues with a rare one or get some dmg boost from HH.
Lastly if you go the mana stacking route I find a rare helmet better than vertex unless you got a good one with +4 to skills and a lot of mana already (6k+ with remnants) so you don't end up too squishy.
Edit: my finished version https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/asfalod-4909/character/Asfalodia
Especially for the skill tree you could optimise a lot. You can ignore almost all of my points on the lower right side that's mostly crit dmg/jewel slots that you won't need yet.
What's the benefit of using this complicated build instead of just doing a normal cast on crit stormweaver? Significantly more powerful or just to do something else?
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?
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!
