WEAPON: I Recommend you copy weapon from trade and import into your PoB BEFORE buying! Always check if its worth the upgrade or purchase!

The Ideal Weapon will depend on your current stats. For example, if you have low crit chance then getting a weapon with high critical hit chance will be a big DPS increase. If you have a lot of critical hit chance then getting more crit multi will be better.

Example Weapon:
250+ DPS (phys is best, flat lightning second)
Elemental damage with attacks: 70%+
1.7+ attack speed
7-8%+ crit chance

after that either crit multi or level of proj on suffix. (I think crit multi will be better as it won't increase mana costs!)

in some cases, or if on a budget, some stats can be dropped. I recommend keeping AT LEAST Crit chance and attack speed.

Soul Cores should be Crit Multi

On second ( ) Xbow, you can add attack speed soul cores for smoother gameplay if your damage is high enough.

Need enough Spirit from Body Armour (mine is 344 ES) + Against the Darkness for all auras. 180-190 Required! (if your at 180 you cannot run )

Amulet Anoint:

Jewel Priority
ES + Crit damage or Crit chance
if Adorned then 60%+ any lower and I think rare jewel setup is same or better performance.

(I am running this on 95% adorned. if you have lower then you may need to drop some crit multi nodes like or to get more ES. can get on

Tip: 21/20 gives 1 extra bolt. SO you can socket to make a level 20 gem 21 and benefit from the extra bolt. if you already have 21/20 then another damage support might be better.
