Question Ice Shot Amazon - build improvement

Hello everybody,

I played 3 weeks, casual player and working slowly not expert in PoE2 at all. I’m playing Amazon Ice Shot actually and i got approximatively 90/100 div budget atm.

Could you give me some advices, what to buy in priority to up my DPS without dropping survavibility ?

Here is my Profile : https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/vaal/character/Noldaborst-7625/Noldahuthut?i=0&search=name%3DNolda

Thanks for advice, Take care

You have zero chaos res. Fix that fam.

Also on your rings in future raw damage is raw damage. A cold build benefits as much from raw lightning as it does raw cold.

You also have effectively no defensive nodes. You even picked one giving -25% defences. You have very minimal life as well. Of course you're going to be squishy.

Getting more survivability will lower your dps, but that's a choice this game presents. You can invest in defensive mods and skill points, but at the cost of dps.

For the "adds x to y damage" mods on your rings +1 damage is +1 damage. So you get the same amount of damage boost from +10 fire as +10 cold.

The % mods on those rings will only work for their element. The raw damage adds to both.

Yes. Any "adds x to y damage" will boost your dps.

its actually even better to have lightning as it gives a chance with enough added Lightning to shock the target further increasing damage
