Gameplay Help and Discussion - best gem setup for a 6L reave? - Forum - Path of Exile (2024)

Running a low life crit dagger, and cant decide between my last 2 support gems

Reave/MultiStrike/PCoC/Melee phys are must for me but i dont know what to put as my last 2 support gems.

Concentrated effect
Increased crit damage
Faster attacks
Added fire
Additional accuracy
Other

?

need some opinions

If you have Carcass Jack in your build (gear-wise), then I highly recommend Concentrated Effect. Carcass Jack to some extent nullifies the drawback from CE, and you get an 12% Increased Area Damage, which is more DPS for Reave. Like Melee physical damage and multistrike, Concentrated Effect gives you "more" damage in the form of AoE. That "more" damage is multiplicative, so your DPS is boosted by a lot moreso than the likes of Faster Attacks or Added Fire. Now if you do not have or do not intend to use Carcass Jack, then CE will hurt you AoE-wise.

You mentioned that you are doing crit build, then it would make sense to include either increased critical strike (increases your DPS, but more importantly your crit chance) or increased critical damage (increases your DPS......when you crit). It depends on what you have in your build, if your crit chance is high, go crit damage, or if your crit damage is high, go crit chance.

Now for the last spot, added fire damage would benefit you more if you have a lot of physical damage, like I mean a lot, when you gain that extra fire damage from a certain % physical damage, you actually get a big boost. As for Faster attacks, more attack speeds helps. Up to you at this point.

Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game.

IIR + IIQ ? .....

I suppose as you said "crit dagger" that you have at least 40%crit chance and 450% crit mult, so with no doubt Increased Crit Damage.

For the 6th...
Depend you gear and build ? and Auras ?
Play pure physical ? Have +elemental dom with weapon on gear or in tree ? Carcass jack ?

right now im using

because i did not want to waste the 5 off colors shav. I was aiming for RRRBBG but after ~1500 chromes, a RRRRRR roll and this one, still didnt get the exact colors i wanted.

Right now with that setup im doing ok, but faster attacks feels like waste, since i already have blood rage + scion nodes, plus my phys damage is only 2.3k so i dont leech much..

The good thing about that setup is that i literally dont even notice phys reflect
