This is the build I'm currently playing:

Its a Frankenstein monster of stuff I saw in poeninja and some random posts in this subreddit. I always felt that I did not do justice to this build especially with the amount I spent on it. I want to know if the upgrade path in the pob below is the best way I can do it:

I have not yet started but I have 1 mirror for the weapon and about 150 divs after the service fee. Would this be the best setup or are there things that I'm not aware of?

Few questions:

1. Why does enabling my snipers mark setup lower my damage?

2. Is dropping the sniper's mark for an animate guardian setup( cull, garb of ephemeral, mask of tyrant) a better option?

3. Are there noobie mistakes I made in the aspirational setup? If you can, please tell me how to spot these stuff in other builds. Like the thought process on what you look for (common pitfalls and whatnot).

4. Any tips to not get swindled by poe.ninja builds?

Thanks. Any and all tips appreciated.

I'm looking to get my first ever mirror tier item for my str stack kinetic fusillade hierophant. There's only 3 shops I saw from my surface level searching: the settleshop, echomirror shop and tft. I'd like to know how most people get their mirror items. Searching the forum for items is so dogwater that I gave up after browsing the trade forum on the official poe website.

I'm looking for something like the image posted and only seen 1 from the echo mirror shop. I'd just like to know all possible options for mirror service shops for when I'm better at the game.
